The network of thoughts in our minds serves as the filter through which we perceive the world. It can amplify suffering or pleasure, magnify loss, or highlight opportunities. Sorting through these and shedding the negative ones is crucial to avoid dwelling in perpetual misery. That’s how we avoid turning echoes into walls. What we carry shapes what we see.Y.
If you’ve already traded ordinary for chaos and think normal is boring, stop Them all from creep in and influencing your life.

Fundraising can be a distraction for small teams. As a tech founder, I prefer bootstrapping until hitting the expansion roadblock. Accepting investment early on is only justified when it's not just about the money. Sometimes staying lean keeps you clear.Y.
The act of "prioritizing importance" can evolve into established norms or habits over time. Sometimes these tendencies can lead to distorted perceptions of reality, which themselves create the basis for feelings of self-doubt, self-criticism, and depression. Let this sink in.Y.
The relentless simulations these days, they've become as familiar as the outfit I wrap myself in. With a strong trajectory, hacking through fate after years of effort and persistence and finally, crossing the gateway to ascend several levels higher, where I ride on the wings of tranquility. There’s peace in seeing through the veil, and still choosing to walk.No echo needed. Yaashaar
I don’t get the hype around the Apple Watch or any smartwatch. Why would anyone wear something that could be exploited to read your vitals, especially with AI’s growing ability to interpret our intentions or thoughts? Some lines weren’t meant to be blurred. Let’s be careful what we call progress.How about not taking our freedom for granted?Some of us have learned that the hard way. Y.
You can understand why some people in immigrant-receiving countries get frustrated with certain immigrants: no one rolled out a red carpet to help them learn about the immigrants’ language or culture.

The murder of Elaheh Hosseinnejad is a heartbreaking tragedy that fills me with sorrow and anger. A young woman, full of life and potential, taken too soon. https://iranwire.com/en/women/141790-iranian-woman-found-murdered-after-suspicious-disappearance/ While I have no illusions about Iran’s government and its long history of repression and incompetence, I also recognize that crimes like this happen in many parts of the world, including countries like Canada. What makes the difference isn't just where it happened, but how societies respond. Do they investigate transparently? Do they hold institutions accountable?

It has to push for change; real, structural change that protects women everywhere and makes sure their lives…
Optimizing life's algorithms: Beware of the expectation bug. Joy thrives in the unpredictability of the code, so debug those high expectations and let the beauty of unexpected moments shine through. Maybe unpredictability is the real feature.Let the compiler surprise you.Y.
GIMP's UX as of Jan 9, 2025 is so bad, I wouldn't be surprised if Adobe funded the project and the open-source movement behind it just to sell more subscriptions! Freedom shouldn't feel like punishment.Someone, please fork this with mercy! Yaashaar
