We focus/function via the inner monologue. It doesn't just do its own thing while we're trying to focus or get something done, it walks through the issue and comes up with solutions and then criticizes them and iterates, and as far as we're concerned, that's us solving the problem.

As an average height woman with average hands, I want 1) an Apple + Levi's collaboration to put iPad Mini sized pockets in women's jeans 2) a phone slightly smaller than the SE so I can reach the furthest corner with my thumb

I’ve known two people who experienced psychosis after quitting their meds. One was retired and rode it out, but the other quit his job and ended up being committed, totally upending his life.

I used to live just down a (very steep) block. I'd pass it on my walk to and from Trader Joe's and often stop inside. I met friends on the steps, I walked the mazes, I went to events, and I explored the building and grounds. It's very nostalgic to revisit it again. I hope I get the chance to go back to SF before too long.

Another solid interpretation is that nobody gets a billion in wages. You have to own something that appreciates, and it appreciates because of the people who work for you, and you take disproportionately much of the benefit.

"It's impossible to earn a billion" means it's impossible to work hard enough to deserve to have a billion dollars in a world where so many people died for lack of money, not that it's impossible to get it without cheating.

It's about time. Google is doing so much to keep the web usable. They're the only ones with the teeth to back up standards for mobile web load time, max sender spam rates, leaving browser history alone, etc.

This is the paragraph that grabbed my attention. I wasn't expecting to find something so human.

I remember coming to the realization during my more challenging school years that waiting all week for Saturday to come was literally wishing my life away. I didn't know what burnout was at the time, but an angel of a friend recognized it and helped me understand.

I can't recommend enough ordering a $10 collapsible ball pen. My son understood even at age 2 that some toys needed to be played with in his play pen, and it means I can let him play with toys with hundreds of pieces and then scoop them all up at once.

I'm 0% convinced. You can tell from a color palate whether some wallpaper was from the 70's or 80's, but that tells you nothing about the economic conditions and everything about what colors were in style.

Amazon's Price History feature certainly doesn't need to open their AI assistant, but in addition to be graph I came for, I get a little summary of the graph. I really hope they aren't using an LLM for that when all it's doing is telling me it's the lowest price in 30 days.

Neopets itself. Codepen and Khan Academy also let you share your HTML/CSS creations, and they add support for JS, but they don't have the game/pets elements that make coding petpages fun.
