Congrats 👏🏿

That's terrible. I think I saw something about that earlier, but didn't click.

What happened?

Never heard of this one. What's the quick and dirty summary?

Oh, I clearly was on the verge, but no. As a rule, I like to make things that don't exist at all. If it already exists, even in a form I could iterate on, I'd often rather do something else. Plus I'm sure it's a lot of work I think the guy who made the feed is better suited. 😅

This last one feels like an odd read. Maybe it's partly because I'm a nominal Neo-Kantian myself (moreso in the philosophical sense), but I don't think it's wrong to acknowledge that clear dichotomies exist. Even within grayscale, there's pebble (dark) and pewter (light).

Oh my goodness. This reminds me of my dad. He could go to the supermarket and come out knowing the cashier's life story.

Hmm? Elaborate.

Sure. Same, I guess. Still nice to see librarians and book clerks helping pick up the slack, in a sense.

My loose rule is only two unread books in the home at any given time. But sadly that only applies to physical, and I'm still behind on some digital subscriptions.

I find it endearing tbh.

#2 definitely sounds more inviting, but it's too wordy.

Something closer to "a quick and easy tour of new ideas" might be better.

I'll start:
Asking someone how they're doing and being genuinely interested in the answer (regardless of whether it's positive or negative).

A certain obsessive self-involvement? Unearned self-importance?

It's something I struggle with as both a reader and a writer. Most fiction sucks, but most autofic sucks for more predictable and avoidable reasons.

Also in per se philosophy, most questions of value are universal, not personal. Eh. 🤷🏿‍♂️
