    Nothing weird about it. End of the world seems within our sights. Perfect time to pick up a self-destructive habit, imo 😅

    For real though, i quit a few years back and it’s been such a game-changer. I also chalk the fact that i did something positive and healthy as the reason why we seem to be nearing a potential ‘end-of-world’ scenario. If i just would have continued suckin down those cancer sticks we would likely be in a much better position, globally. Sorry guys 😬



  • I always felt American car companies were a really good example of that back in the 60s-70s when enormously long vehicles with giant engines were the order of the day. Why not bigger? Why not stronger? It also acted as a symbol of American strength, which was being measured by raw power just like today lol.

    This also reminds me of the way video game programmers in the late 70s/early 80s had such tight limitations to work within that you had to get creative if you wanted to make something stand out. Some very interesting stories from that era.

    I also love to think about the tricks the programmer of Prince of Persia had employed to get the “shadow prince” to work…
