No longer looking for shortcuts
- egypturnash 6y agoSafari can't open the page "https://jamalx31.com/post/no-longer-looking-for-shortcuts" https://jamalx31.com/post/no-longer-looking-for-shortcuts". The error is: "Load cannot follow more than 20 redirections." (:0) I guess Safari isn't interested in following all your shortcuts either.
- msteffen 6y agoI thought this was great. I particularly believe that people who like to think of themselves as smart (most of whom are smart, but the two are distinct) are prone to this, because finding a shortcut is a smart person thing to do. In my opinion, the other temptation of shortcuts is that even middle-class life really is a grind otherwise. Especially if you have kids and you suddenly want a big house (so they and you still have some privacy) in a good school district. Resigning yourself to 30 years of high-stress work to pay for that mortgage doesn't feel good.
