Realized this during a particularly stressful time in 2021 - back then, I used to spend hours walking just thinking through problems, all night long. I’ve since abandoned the all night long part, but have an almost daily ritual to walk arou

Been buying mullvad for the last 4-5 years but oftentimes I can’t even browse the fucking New York Times website due to low bandwidth, let alone stream anything. At this point, I just keep adding time to my account just in case, without usi
