Eugene Wei on X: "Sociologists bemoaned the death of the third place in American Life. Then companies shifted to remote work, and we got rid of second places. We just live in our first and only places now, in our sweat pants." / X

Passage from screenshot of book: > > How could love be anything other than a rapture? "You should date," my mother says. "Meet someone nice." As if there's any correlation between this force, this feeling, and dating.
> > Oh, the interchangeable men on the Google Calendar-Chris, Pete, Rob, Malcolm-like so much bland litter; taking Ubers and Lyfts to restaurants and bars; doing the math to split the bill and match the tip with men who own bicycles more expensive than their furniture, men who are oddly puritanical about hops and vegetables, men who are boastful of their neuroses the trauma, the therapy, the meta-therapeutic rejection of therapy. One told me in earnest that it was important that I know right away, from the start, that he hated his mother. I just nodded over my Korean short rib, sipped my orange wine. Men so weak that I have to break up with myself for them. Sperm on crutches, Grandma Rose would've said.

Cleo on X: "I’m still a bit hurt by someone who ended a friendship with me with the grievance that “being around you makes me feel insecure”. It took me a while to realize that my lifestyle challenged a victim mindset they subscribe to and I don’t indulge. Misery doesn’t like my company." / X

> who ever manages to pull it off will end up redefining computing and build a multi hundred billion dollar business along the way
> Quote RT of @johnnulls: > > there does seem to be a problem with constructing a new world for personal/collaborative computing within the old one. “apps” sit at the end of a long chain of constraining factors, and reworking these seems to require effort at an industrial scale
> > the os and web environments are really not that amenable to radical designs, especially not when attempted by a small team
> > in many ways, you have to learn to love big brother (microsoft, apple, google) and conform to the laws within their jurisdictions
> > or, you have to attempt revolution from within their gates—without any real prospect for support or success
> > you have to embrace your role as a second-class citizen, or overthrow their rule and build your own kingdom (an endeavor that would require being an industry player)
