|
- as scary of a concept it is when you're feeling well, it's useful to remember about the
|
|
treadmill when you're down. and don't think that it'll ruin a good day, just don't think about
|
|
it then.

|
- I just caught myself writing a few paragraphs long comment on [Lobsters](https://lobste.rs) without really understanding what the author of the comment meant in the broader context of the discussion,
|
|
after which I deleted my comment and gave myself a pat on the back for avoiding accidentally derailing the discussion.
|
|
|
|
% id = "01HREVZNAHRC9BJZJPH9RE21PE"
|
|
- this is an unfortunate side effect of the tree-based structure of Lobsters.
|
|
as much as I like tree-based forums, as they let you focus on many different (off-)topics without cluttering the main thread,
|
|
it's damn near impossible to keep the broader context of *what the discussion is about* when the thread nests more than 3 levels deep.
|
|
|
|
% id = "01HREVZNAH96KPDQAW1YW1FGC5"
|
|
- therefore, if you ever find yourself writing an essay about just how wrong someone is, think to yourself: am I *really* understanding what's going on in this discussion?
|
|
and if not - maybe just shut up and let the rest of the idiots fan the flames instead.

- maybe this is because I no longer browse memes.
|
|
not on our friend circle's private Discord, not on Reddit, pretty much nowhere
|
|
|

% id = "01J1Q8SBGFYM90M1YQD1XDDYSM"
|
|
- memes largely arrive to me directly from specific people.
|
|
I don't go out to kill boredom with memes anymore.
|
|
|
|
% id = "01J1Q8SBGF3Y7M3Q5V1F0TRPHX"
|
|
- at some point I realized browsing memes adds nothing to my life, and I just stopped doing it.
|
|
obviously something had to take their place in killing time, and that became... reading [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs).
|
|
I think that's a net positive since you can genuinely learn a lot from people's writing about computing, but getting time for that required abandoning memes.
|
|
|
|
% id = "01J1Q8SBGF2X8HBDP8YGE9M8YZ"
|
|
- the realization that I gain nothing by browsing memes is probably what one could call a piece of _wisdom_; life knowledge, stuff that shapes your worldview.

+ but by gaining more wisdom, I have lost knowledge of popculture

% id = "01J1Q8SBGFJNDR46FA35CN0SQ5"
|
|
- not that you can define _popculture_ in today's society that well anyways.
|
|
there are so many little corners of culture that it's hard to tell what's popular anymore

% id = "01J1Q8SBGF06SKKJCQKA2QNPT2"

- ...don't tell anyone, but I like it that way.

I can focus on my art and making it unique.

no need to chase trends.
