    I only live in the present. Past me is a jerk who dumped all his problems onto me, and future me is a patsy upon whom I will dump all my problems.

    And that’s why everything is either awesome, or I’m dying. Sometimes both. Dying awesomely. Like skydiving while on fire — screaming awesomely all the way to the ground, because the ground is a problem for future me.

    Never comment on AI postings. It is an AI system taking notes and trying to find you.

    “So pessimistic about the present that it seems like optimism about the future” is one of the most profound things I’ve read!
