That’s what I do now, so it would probably just be a fun project for me to see if I can do the jailbreak


As an old PaperWhite owner with no loyalty to Amazon, anywhere I can find a jailbreaking guide?


I take 30mg in the mornings, it works pretty well for me. I took 70mg once and had an absolutely miserable time, it was way too much


Not particularly, at least not by anyone other than my wife. She thinks I’m pretty great, and I just don’t see it. I think I’m pretty average and unremarkable, and the world will just keep moving along without me once I’m gone. Takes the pressure off a bit, tbh, because it makes the stakes pretty low. If no one values what you provide, then it doesn’t really matter if you meet their expectations or not.


I heard this once, and it’s stuck with me since: don’t speak for people that you don’t speak to. It helps me remember that I don’t really know the challenges a marginalized community faces if I’m not a part of it, and I should do the work of listening and understanding before inserting myself into a situation with perhaps well-intentioned, but misguided, attempts at helping.

There are residential neighborhoods in cities though, where straight roads with roundabouts and other traffic calming makes more sense than a curving a road, for the purposes of lowering driving speeds. Neither is better or worse inherently, we should just tailor solutions to the environment they’re needed in.


There’s a flipside too though. Straight lines aren’t great for suburbs for the speed reason, but once you reach enough density and the roads get narrow enough, grids make planning easier, and navigating easier for pedestrians. Roundabouts are a nice way to slow traffic through straight roads


Only from above. When you’re on foot, grid systems feel plenty variable and lively


Haha that very much feels like a case of justified hierarchy

Isn’t divorce only a sin for Catholics who don’t get it annulled? I thought divorce was more acceptable among Protestants


No one becomes a firefighter because they enjoy wielding authority over other people

Up to a certain point. If an actor or artist is just like an asshole, that’s fine. People are allowed to be curmudgeonly. When it crosses the line into hatred, like JKR and Kanye, then I’m out.


I strive to be, but I know I fall short of living entirely true to my values. I think we all do. But I at least try.
