  • “It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste a lot of it.” -Seneca

    When we complain about not having enough time, we think of ourselves as being passively allocated an insufficient resource. But maybe the problem isn’t that life is too short, but that we waste much of the time we’re given.

    I think this is relevant in these modern times more than ever. How much of our time goes to mindless scrolling, worrying about things beyond our control, or pursuing goals that don’t truly align with our values? We should be thinking about the difference between being busy and spending time meaningfully.

    And that’s not to say all time spent should be something “productive”. Leisure time can be meaningful. But I think it’s worth even thinking about that. Are you truly happy with how you choose to spend your leisure time when you watch 100 short videos you probably won’t even remember? Or when you sit there getting angry or depressed about article after article after article? I think it’s worth thinking about.


  • Google translate gives me: “Showers are not allowed in this toilet.”

    Better than what they have, but I think ChatGPT does better again: “This toilet does not allow showering.”

    I decided to run it through copilot out of curiosity and even though it uses chatgpt as well it seemed to do even better in my opinion: “You’re not allowed to bathe in this restroom.”

    Which I think is the intended message, don’t try tu wash yourself in there.
