get all fired up... stop reading here.**

- 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.

|
|
- 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.

|
|
- 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.
