So, funny (and true) loophole, I never technically threw it out. I just never took it with me when I moved out of my dad's place and told him he could do whatever with it.

I worried that I would end up sounding like a woman when I started regularly speaking Japanese -- in the end, I don't think I sound like anything at all... Proust is definitely not a long tweet, but if you don't like those first few pages, you're not going to like the rest of it. I was hooked around two pages in; one of those cases where the aspects I like the most are exactly the parts others find obnoxious.

I estimate there is a 50% chance that I run for my neighborhood's HOA board purely out of spite by the time I turn 40

I have never heard of anyone having a functional, polite condo board EVER.
i was actually thinking the same thing yesterday when i was working on something and looking at the actual pages themselves extensively instead of just working inside code editor the whole time...
at the same time, i like the "no cheap thrills to be had here!" vibe you get from going monochrome
one could even say it's... suboptimal....
