I relate to the kid. I once slept under the couch cushions because it was more comfortable to be kinda warm than to be cold sleeping on top. Buddy was the first to pass out and it was like 2 am and I didn’t know where an extra blanket was.

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different.”

You measure your life by the milestones. When your a kid these come quickly. First words, first steps, first day of school, first friend, first crush, and on and on. So many things happening all of the time. As we get older the time between these milestones grows. You work the same job, see the same people, have the same routines. The space between those milestones blurs together and it all feels the same. It goes by slowly, but when you look back it’s happened all at once, where did the time go?

It’s important to fill as much of that space between as we can. Be adventurous and try everything, hit new milestones.

Discord is really bad for preservation of information. I can still find forum posts from 10 years ago on a given topic all over, but discord links seem to expire and break all the damn time and it’s hard to search through. It sucks that discord has become the defacto choice for user community space.

Yes this is the most critical. The apps that have been made are a good stride in the right direction but the fediverse is not intuitive to use
