Yes, so much this. This seems to be the same type of hype as blockchain was a couple years ago when everyone said that will solve all our problems.

It took discipline for me to get into a workout routine, 4 days a week. Now if I don't do it I get stressed out.

But if I had not pushed through the first two months of exercising those 4 days a week with discipline, I would have high blood pressure, probably be pre-diabetic. Now I have a great BP, blood work is fantastic and I have more energy during the day than ever before.

I had to use discipline and motivation to change what made me happy. Things that are generally good for you are not easy to do. Id rather binge netflix, play video games all night and eat ice cream in my younger days because that me me happy. I was actually just killing myself quicker.

The logic of do what makes you feel good or happy is so flawed. Doing heroine or shooting morphine feels amazing, but that does not make it ok.

Ultimate we are like the rat who will walk across a shock pad time and time again to receive an instant organized versus turning toward the female rat in heat.

Art is not harder than coding. What is hard is for an artist to make a living because the market for artwork is very, very low.

Many streaming services have ads in their lowest tier now. Paramount is the first I can think of.

All ATC should be brusque and quick, especially in high traffic environments.

The US Army's ATC units had the motto of "Safe, Orderly, & Expeditious."

mattr47 — Wed, 26 Jan 2022 12:33:38 +0000

Honestly, the tech stack for a blog does not matter. Or should I say, the only way it matters if it allows you to publish content easily, which is pretty much any CMS.

Pretty interesting article, especially for a 15 year old.

The US military did not leave any helicopters when it pulled out.

The Afghan Army and US State department left helicopters.
