I'm sorry but this is so fucking lame. Your grandparents partied. Your grandparents hosted, they went to bars, they did shit. They didnt sit around and pride themselves for spending all of their free time staring at their children and mowing the lawn. Get the fuck out of your house. Take your wife out for a drink and listen to some live music. Have a conversation with someone at the bar. Go to a hockey game with your college buddies. Youre not somehow more mature for being homebound. Get a life.
The reason socializing is exciting is because you’re looking for someone to have children with. The reason sex is exciting is because you could be making a person. If you accept this teleology early on you’ll be less likely to invest in ideas about life that underdeliver.

Steve Jobs would like a word with you Tim.
We brought Touch to the Mac! From the all-new iPad mini to the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iMac... and now MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch, creators have new tools to do their best work yet.

Thought experiment: Australia's undersea cables are destroyed. Assume no Starlink or similar. How do we go?

Once one develops a strong radar for self-serving NPCs, and locks in with good people, the clouds part.
Another takeaway after three years of building a company is that the returns to just "being a good person", and not acting transactionally, are higher than I expected. There are so many transactional, boring, and at times immoral people in the tech industry that if you act with sustained warmth, authenticity, humor, and integrity, great gifts will be laid before you. White pill.

Ask not what your country can do for you... Watch our latest from @build_aus... youtube.com/watch?v=tSYzjHV-…
Australia's young people no longer feel like they belong in the country. Could this unlikely idea be the way we turn the trend around?
