@visakanv And here is perhaps a case where half the people don't even realize it's possible to have android and not want to buy an iphone? Many such cases indeed!

@QiaochuYuan I wonder if this is a sort of survivorship bias thing? Men of sufficient responsibility will read the tea leaves and think "hmm this is not the time/person for me to have a child with". Low responsibility/comparatively careless men are the ones left to actually father...

@nosilverv If only I hadn't already hacked my memory into pieces, I might have been able to realize I have competing internal standards for truthfulness and hyperbole!

@FictionIRL I perma claw left and right, ranked 17th in germany (not sure if that makes me good enough haha) if you're still looking for people to talk to. Looking forward to seeing your results regardless!

@RichDecibels @frideswyth Damn. I think you've unlocked something for me. I always assumed that other people would want the same amount of autonomy that I always wanted. But now that I am in position to delegate, I have been perplexed that nobody seems to want any of it. I couldn't even see it.

@Untrulie I can't figure out which direction it goes: releasing neck and back -> increased refresh rate, or increased refresh rate -> releasing neck and back. It seems they can both cause and/or block each other.

[ego dissolver lives a good life @bofftarget]

@Untrulie I have given up trying to tell people what AT is, but this is good!! Sometimes I think of it as the practice of turning up your refresh rate. Because the hooks that slow down your refresh rate are tension in your neck and back?? Weird, but seems true over and over haha

@RichDecibels In my experience, this lead to me not only practicing slowly, but reaaaally slowly, so much so that tempo was not really in the picture. It is so much fun and so relaxing, and I learn so much faster! (Though how fast it's going is probably best to remain out of focus)

[ego dissolver lives a good life @bofftarget]

@RichDecibels Almost everybody gets told they need to practice slowly, but very few actually follow through with it. It is better understood as a refusal to act upon nervous energy than as an additional command. (I hope my phrasing makes sense)

[ego dissolver lives a good life @bofftarget]

@sashachapin Totally agree! I feel like the more I mindful become the more I realize how deep my love of things runs if I let it

@QiaochuYuan @qorprate @PatchBandana @charmide @sympatheticopp I started watching Spy x Family after seeing this spreadsheet. Wow! So I guess I'll just be going down your list one by one now...

Perhaps stranger women in yoga pants that I will never see again is my muse

Why the fuck is it that when I am stuck in an airport I am absolutely exploding with ambition, but when I am home I just want to nap and play video games??? Does my life need some tyrannical force to make it dreadfully boring so that I can rebel against it?

[ego dissolver lives a good life @bofftarget]

@DoroisDoro It is such a fine line... I feel your pain. But somehow we must always try again.

Blessed is the land that allows me to drink thoroughly and arrive home unharmed and unworried.

@TylerAlterman I've often felt that Berlin is too well organized. You NEVER see somebody you know anywhere, unless you are headed to that one place where they are supposed to be. I'm not surprised that it's different in NYC.

[ego dissolver lives a good life @bofftarget]

@TylerAlterman Was discussed in Seeing Like a State. A city's job is to repeatedly chaotically slam together people, greatly increasing chance of beautiful serendipity. If your city is too orderly, the people will remain siloed, and constantly unwittingly pass each other on by.
