Things to be grateful for #6

Being half-tech half-normal: It’s a blessing because you kinda understand where the world’s going and you kinda know how it applies to the real world. I used to regret not immersing myself in tech earlier but now as software is eating the rest of the world it’s coming in handy, I know which industries will get swallowed

China: China feels as crazy to me as 2015 felt to Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2. It has a new frontier feel to it (so maybe it’s more like Back to the Future 3) and yet they’re using QR codes for everything (so I guess it’s more like Back to the Future 1 — known in 1984 simply as Back to the Future). Maybe it feels like Japan felt to the rest of the world in the 80s; a neo noir sci-fi wonderland of bitcoin mining and back alleys and numbing peppercorns and preserved and delicious sheep uteri. Ok maybe it’s neo neo noir.
Fake indoor trees: as soon as someone invents a spray that smells like actual nature instead of an intense caricature of a pine scent fake trees will be in every home. Never underestimate the laziness of man.
Stock Photos: these free gems populate all things hilarious from Instagram middle class heroes to books by all-round great guy: me.

Crazy Clown Airlines: I’m grateful such a hilarious sequence exists and I’m equally grateful to imagine the FAA at some stage c0nsidering and then approving such a zany name for such a safety-conscious and serious industry.
