What did you realize today?

1. Just how much I hate flying for business now that I’m stuck on this SWA Flight for 3 hours

2. The Roman Empire at the point of collapse looks more like the current state of the United States every year.

3. That I don’t trust Dropbox so I’m going to switch to a cloud service with end to end encryption and a better track record. Literally about to make the move.

4. That I don’t have to proof anything to anyone, just clicked today after a good talk.

5. That I need to change the oil on my motorcycle. So not due but close enough.

6. I have value to other people.

7. The healthiest way for me to treat online dating is as practice. That means I can A/B test profile pictures, and use conversations with matches as a way to practice my game. That way, I’m not investing anything into any particular match, and I treat each match, not as the next potential partner, but the next potential chance to practice and develop my skills.

   The only way to survive dating, it seems, is to treat it like a giant joke.

8. I forgot my charger

9. That my wife is truly my life.

10. At many drive-thrus, the person taking your order can’t actually see you at the speaker. There are sensors below the speaker that pick up the weight of your car and then trigger a device on one of the workers. They then press a button and then they can hear you. It’s actually (at least from what I’ve heard) less common to have cameras at the speaker and more common to have sensors at the speaker

11. If the goal of suicide prevention is to eliminate deaths via suicide, supporters of that idea should be in support of something similar to anti-natalism because it would prevent suicidal people from ever being conceived thereby eliminating deaths via suicide.

12. That some people get fiercely defensive of their choice in underpants, and whatever you’re wearing is wrong, you’re wrong, you’re an idiot… Seriously? Who gives that much of a shit?
