It's become my conclusion people work way too hard justifying their aesthetic preferences with "facts". "I like the way it makes me feel / the subjective result" is the only reason you need for liking something. That's it. Parametric obsession is a waste of time for perception. https://t.co/N1atVJcgCr

Yep. Too many PMC types want to quantify everything, to have an Excel-spreadsheet-based reason they like something or want to do something. That’s a terrible way to live life, though, and one that doesn’t lead to happiness or fulfillment. Glad I moved past that stage of my thinking when I was like 10. Very fucking glad.

Time-sharing.

Cloud ideas are very old — it just used to be called something else. “Cloud” became propaganda more to seize control than cheaper/more useful in many cases.

The true advantage of the Cloud is speed of deployment, and that is real. A lot of the rest is just lies or propagandistic distortions.

I matched with a kinky girl in a wheelchair. Should I go for it?

I nearly dated a woman in a wheelchair, many years ago. I say “nearly” because she flaked out on me at the last minute. I think she was more worried about me worrying about her being disabled than I was. (I didn’t care in the least.) Which, understandable, given the reactions I’m sure she’d gotten over the years.

I tend not to dwell on “what could have been” — mainly since my partner is so wonderful — but I do hope she found someone. She seemed pretty cool.
