I would be curious to hear your expanded thoughts on environment and place-choosing, both as it relates to ways of evaluating places as well as when this thinking crosses the line into escapism/distraction/unsettledness.
I enjoy jamming on this topic. I think that where you live—the city, the country, the type of people it attracts — has more impact on your well being than any other factor.
Use a website like nomadlist to find places you might enjoy and then try living a "mini-life" there for 30+ days to see what it would be like.
Regarding #50, this is something I love about the music scene in Britain, and maybe elsewhere too. After someone plays, the accepted etiquette is to always say "that was a great set"
this post is worth a million bucks goddamn
when you become a billionaire i will retroactively accept the market value you have selected
Most of what is on the Internets is garbage. This is not.
fully agree. Which one was your favourite, shani?
Your insight in 15 (confident people are fluid with status) is so spot-on.
In my experience, truly confident people refrain from creating a sense of self, clinging to neither praise nor blame.
Thank you for these 🔥
These are excellent!

Lots of wisdom per ounce here, nicely done!
One level up on the ginger I learned after years using a spoon: don't even bother peeling it. Works perfectly! https://www.thekitchn.com/why-you-should-never-peel-ginger-23604549

This felt like it was written straight to me and to the people I most love. I’m sharing it. Thank you.
Many good points. But #42 ruined your credibility.
And here I thought #42 was one of the best on this sterling list.
Feet on the ground, breathe through the ass.
#33, man, #33. I wish someone would've given me that advice a long time ago, and that I would've been mature enough to listen.
Same here Ryan. Felt that one.

Long time reader first time commenter. You've taught me a lot over the past few years. Thank you!
