Unlearn perfectionism by becoming mentally perfect. Hmm, could take a while.

In the same vein, why does (nearly) every organization ‘have’ to be for-profit?

What does that say about our societies that we have embedded the profit motive in (most) organisations?

Worth noting that obviously there are many not for profit organizations, just that they are largely clustered in the fields of health, education, social welfare, etc.

And also note the difference between (unlimited or at least not capped) profit and earning or being paid a living or even high wage. People often confuse the ability to earn a ‘good’ wage and a very high wage.

Why do shopping malls build selfie traps into the walkways now? Why is everyone's backdrop on Zoom so aesthetic? Why are brilliant computer scientists spending their best years reinventing banking? Why are talented artists leaving their easels behind to draw pixel zombies?

In a world full of defib drones swarming the skies surely donut sales would plummet.

I can't access my own data.

Someone already signed up using my SSN.

This brings me so much joy. It's such a perfect emulation that it actually makes me homesick for the late 90s.

That old Windows interface and the Netscape logo are like a portal to another universe.

I talk to God throughout the day and focus on listening. This includes some light Bible reading and expecting answers. Transparent, concise, empathic, respectful prayers seem to be answered with great enthusiasm. God is dad, but dad is also God. It is both odd and fantastic.

I was plagued by anxiety and negative thinking for twenty years. I could barely make eye contact with people. It wasn't until I started praying to God as best I understood him to be with as few words as possible, focusing on listening for the minutes and days to follow, that I was led to answers that cured everything in a matter of days.

The original point of CSS was to remove style code from HTML. This made a ton of sense twenty years ago. Web content was often saved directly to static files, so imagine having to update styles across hundreds of HTML files manually without VS Code.

Tailwind seems like it could be very useful if one's UI is strictly component based. Otherwise it seems like a portal back into writing HTML on Windows 98 using notepad. Either way, thankful for innovation and more options.
