Some wonderful music from Bach, his Weihnachtsoratorium (2.5 hours): https://open.spotify.com/album/48eINR6FEINQEvDTrbig9X
Works for me. I love Bach!

#83I’d like to take a moment to wish the depressed people a merry Christmas specifically. It’s okay if you don’t feel like celebrating, or if your life feels like a trainwreck. Next year can be a little better than this one was. It’s a combination of two things: optimism, and (the right) medication. I wasn’t able to become optimistic until I got the latter, so I remember how bleak the holidays often felt.
Things will get better, and so will you. Take care of yourself.

Finland isn't real![1]

On top of all you mention, what I like is vast broad perspective on practically any topic. History, politics, warfare, ultra deep sciences, geeky computer stuff, law, surveillance, travelling... name it, and discussion will get deep pretty quickly. Even disagreements are done in a very mature way (I still think Dang is some prototype AI, I cant imagine what will happen if he goes for 2 weeks off). I must admit, I com…
I rarely read the articles linked. Instead, I find myself getting lost in the tangential threads which have little to nothing to do with the article.
This is the way.
Many people will go through this rite of passage. I fondly remember the times when I did read all the articles. Perhaps not coincidentally, those are also the times when I was a broke college student.

#87Earlier quoted context omitted.
Unrelated but this message just thought me that 'to advance' some time is to make it earlier. I always assumed the opposite because it sounds like you push it forwards in time.
I'm afraid to say 'push [or usually bring] it forwards in time' also typically means 'earlier', not later! We say 'push it back ' to mean make something later. I suppose it all makes some sort of sense if you picture the future as a queue of things facing you - you can bring elements forward (nearer) or push them back (further).
Interesting analogy about the queue and funny how language shapes ones mental model. I would have never pictured time like that.
