Quite Quitty
In common with Gen Z, my job does not define my identity at all. I could quit now and not think a single thought about it again. I’ve always felt that way, even when I had no money.
I think it helps having an intellectual life and a big ego. I have both — so a job just always felt like something I did, not something I am.
One Way
People are always surprised when you predict something that is extremely predictable, and when you know something on little information that could’ve for obvious reasons only happened one way.
The world is often strange and stochastic, but just as often events and actions are pretty damn foreseeable. Perhaps wisdom is knowing the difference.
Clouded
Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud.
I already avoid Windows as much as I can but I will redouble my efforts to do so as this occurs. We knew it was inevitable; they want your data and your rental fees in perpetuity, and to prevent any blocking of ads. It was always gonna happen.
But no reason to just go with it.
Debt Collection
Vladimir Putin says Wagner paramilitaries paid billions by Russian state.
I told you so. Cash grab and it worked.
Two Much

Most Europeans do not understand how absurdly large the United States is compared to their pipsqueak countries. (Sorry, Europeans, but it’s true).
I once spent two days driving across a single US state. That was Texas. And it sucked.
