This movie is wack y’all.
Just come across this legend (again) saved on a HDD. Gets posted often, but there always someone who hasn't seen it.
"The cult of goal-setting thrives in this illusion. It converts uncertainty into an illusion of progress. It demands specificity in exchange for comfort. And it replaces self-trust with the performance of future-planning."

A few years ago, I sat across from a friend at a late dinner. He was telling me about his new promotion, the big title, the bonus, the corner office. I remember watching his face as he described it. He looked like someone describing a story he’d once believed
I enjoyed the first season of Poker Face; each bottle episode had a nice overarching framing to it. I'm having a much harder time with season 2, which seems much more reliant on stunt casting and over-the-top scenarios. And why they would establish a new framing device at the start of season 2 similar to season 1, only to resolve it by S02E03 was just weird.
Oh well. Plenty of other shows.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.
My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
