    This from Larry Wall (of Perl fame) seems relevant...

    The Three Virtues [Paraphrased]

    1) #Laziness - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure.

    2) #Impatience - Because you are impatient, you will build systems and shortcuts for your daily work.

    3) #Hubris - You have the confidence that you can do better than the status quo.

  4. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
     
    [Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

    Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]

  5. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.

  12. Pulled up to the #Costco here in #Kalamazoo. They had a small gasoline spill and the staff were there treating it. The guy behind me, in a hulking giant black Denali just didn’t want to wait, so he pulled along side and menaced the staff person cleaning up the spilled gasoline. I was shocked at the #entitlement and #impatience. The staff shrugged it off. These people deserve what is coming for them. #today #misanthropy

    «
    Why did we wait for any thing? — why not seize the pleasure at once? — How often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparation!

    Meanwhile, do you like popcorn? It's going to be exciting to see whether Dorsey & bros get a [insert authoritarian regime]-backed sugar daddy or if they get to implode all on their own.
