Conservativism?

If only ;)

Alas, I see that allergy spreading absolutely everywhere and more and more people calling on book (and author) banning for whatever 'good' reason they may have. That's a dangerous allergy, akin to the allergy to the 'other', that may very well be fatal to any democracy no matter the political side one stands for.

haven't at least some of them been elected? If so, who should be punished? Asking for a friend, obviously ;)

Toi aussi tu veux te payer le Groenland O.o ?

Je peux pas me l'offrir (l'autre clown orange a fait monter les enchères), mais je serais pas hostile à l'idée que nous allions nous y établir ma moitié et moi... Enfin, ça c'était jusqu'à ce que ce bonhomme orange laisse planer le doute que si un soir on s'installait au Groenland, comme dans n'importe quel pays libre, on risquait bien de se réveiller le lendemain matin soudainement américanisés, comme dans aucun pays libre. Très peu pour moi.

thx :)

So great!

La question a peu de sens.

Un dollar dans la main, disons, d'un petit enfant innocent qui va acheter des medocs pour sa vieille grand-mère alitée, est-il aussi débilitant qu'un dollar dans la main de Trump (ou dans ma main, allons-y) qui veux se payer le Groenland?

C'est pas la richesse (ou la pauvreté) qui rend con. C'est comment on s'en sert. C'est qui on est. Comme pour le reste.

Thx a lot for sharing the link, I'll read it. I would also be curious to get your feedback on what you think works well or not so well with bullet journaling as I never tried it myself ;)

I am getting over it

This may take time. What you need to not do is ruminating. Once a story is over, no matter how heartbreak it feels, it's over. The more time you spend grooming your nostalgia and regrets, the harder it will be to move on.

If you want something, you do everything you can to take it. He just wasn’t emotionally mature and it sucks.

I will completely disagree with this. Maturity is not doing whatever is required to get whatever it is one wants. Even less so in a relationship. Accepting the other is not the perfect faultless ideal person one may dhave dreamed of and then being able to listen and accept the other's limits, doubts, fears and, obviously, feeling that it's ok to share yours as well, is what maturity is supposed to be. At least that's how I see it.

+1 to that question.

No elevator. I would teleport. Or take the stairs (it's good for the heart). And no music playing either because music is always an hint at who's the bad guy in a movie ;)

Maybe one could ear in the background the noise of my devotee evil assistant's mechanical typewriter because for obvious reason I would not trust any digital device to write anything related to my secret plans to conquer the world [here, one should ear a mad scientist laugh].

I'm using them and I will keep an eye on that as I'd need more than one opinion article to consider it's time to leave them.

The thing I'm really concerned with is not Infomaniak or any other corporation (I would not like to see any corporation decide they they have a right to raise above the law). My issue is with the men and women writing and voting that law.

I doubt anyone here is looking to spend that much money to make a fashion statement.

Sure, we would know it by now if 'fashion' was working at all to drive sales. And if it was, by now we would be surrounded by ads absolutely everywhere, and our landscapes would be filled with mountain-like piles of trashed useless craps that we would feel the need to regularly throw away in order to make room to buy the newest and latest whatever trendy crap. That's obviously not the case. Aren’t we lucky.

Let me ask you this: for what reason do you think most people buy the latest $1000+ smartphone?

Is it because they need the hardware, be it the titanium or whatever metal body because they regularly heat their phone so much that titanium is the only reasonable option? Or is because it looks somehow cooler? Or maybe it’s because they need more pixels in order to share a sharper video of, say, the latest revolutionary brain surgery procedure they devised? Or is it in order to share some video of their cat, or their latest shopping spree, or film themselves in front of whatever touristic destination they fancy visiting? Please, do note that I wrote 'most people' and not all of them, as I certainly don't doubt a few targeted consumers do indeed need whatever new features are made available.

So, as a matter of fact, I do think a lot of people are more than willing to spend whatever amount of money they consider reasonable, be it a couple hundred bucks on e-ink device, or 1 million dollars on a diamond incrusted fountain pen, or even 50 billions to buy their own Twitter (which is also a writing device, mind you). Or do you think a 1 million dollars fountain pen write that much better? Hint: it doesn’t.

Do I think the OP is one of those person? I have no idea and how would I know? But, contrary to you, I don’t care at all because I don’t think it matters.

I simply offered a cheap (answering the OP exact concern) alternative to e-ink, an alternative I know is very often overlooked because, well, it’s so low tech (which is not great in a society that has a constant ~~hardon~~ interest for high-tech).
