  • As a Millenial, I can 100% say that I do not miss being young. Granted, the busted lumbar region and cranky guts aren't fun, but the familiarity with my own body and the gained cognitive complexity are worth a helluva lot more to me.

    I do miss those contexts and how they made me feel, I miss seeing my friends carefree and jovial, and I miss drum and bass and punk gigs. But I was a moron back then, and the shit I did to myself, I wouldn't wish on anyone else.

    No, there is one thing: I miss not needing as much sleep as I do now.

  • I did not know that, either about JoJo, or Rand. I only read some of Rand's philosophy, her personal life didn't present much interest after it became clear where she was going with her ideas.

  • Well, "Any Frustration" would certainly fit, in a way!

    From what I remember, Rand could not emotionally detach herself from her work, so everything I've read felt as a frustrated "fuck you all, I'll get mine." She had a rough upbringing, not gonna fault her for her traumas, but she seemed to thrive on hating everything which wasn't "everyone for themselves," to the point where she'd simply refuse to answer questions challenging that by frequently insulting the person who would ask.

    Edit: oh, and if I remember correctly, I think she lived off of food coupons/stamps and state aid for quite some time, while proselytising that they encouraged layabouts...

    Edit 2: now that I think about it, Jordan Peterson's overall presentation and composure kinda' reminds me of Rand. Except Rand didn't have a lobster kink, afaik.

  • JoJo gives Ayn Rand a magic wand before they were invented so she can jill herself to Nirvana instead of writing bad philosophy. Hence why guys would let JoJo use the time machine.

    Other than Ayn Rand, I don't know any of these people, btw, so this is wild speculation on my part.

  • Ooh, I completely forgot about those mixes, thank you! Most deffo should be even tastier! I kinda' started mainling basil and oregano since starting to bake pizzas (it is a crime against humanity to not add basil and oregano to a pizza, that is all) and I forgot other seasonings existed:))

    And, yep! Plus they work with absolutely anything that way, and make meal prep a lot faster if you're in a rush (I would eat a double-portion of what you posted, honest truth!)

  • Add a pinch of oregano and basil as well (maybe even some freshly ground pepper if you're looking for a zing) and they're good to eat as-is! Very seriously, tried this once while high, and now it's the only way I boil any kind of pasta. Nothing can beat that "core" zest you get when the base is well seasoned! And they complement seasoning cheeses really well, makes for a neat snack!

  • This felt like hearing one of those hardcore grannies dropping a truth bomb on their spoilt grandchild in public, and all people in a 10m radius shut up and start thinking if it also applies to them.

    Doesn't happen often, but Balkan grannies are like Speed Metal when they hit.

  • In all seriousness, this would make the most sense in terms of progression in design. It already sorta' is just that, but it's been stepped on.

    Hah! Just hit me, if I'd seen a USB-C plug back in the day, my first thought would've been "oof, someone isn't playing bootleg cartridge games for a while!"

  • Honestly, doesn't even have to be... Handwriting is slowly but surely becoming an obsolete means of recording information, most everything's typed nowadays. Unfortunate (*purely subjective opinion, I enjoy writing by hand A LOT!)

    As long as someone else can understand it at first (or second, s'fine!) glance, no need for it to be pretty:D

  • Yeah, tends to get like that after speed and comfort start having more weight in the process. Switched to D’Nealian Handwriting (apparently), with more inertial Cursive motions than evident in the example given on the site, because I started having trouble reading my own handwriting once I got into high-school and had to fill up half a damned notebook during Maths and Geography classes....

  • This is how we've (myself and the kids in my class, at least) been taught to write cursive, yes - m's and n's rounded at the top of the swing, and u's and w's with the downward side being rounded. The only acute downward swing I know is in some version of v's, but I've also seen a lot of people rounding their v's out of inertia a lot of the time.
