A reminder that we might die today is, I think, unhelpful.

An occasional reminder that we might die soon would perhaps prompt us to ensure we don't leave a mess behind. Trying to do stuff to avoid regrets is stupid, you won't feel regrets.

Otherwise we should live without any thought of dying.

It takes much longer to regain trust that it takes to lose it.

Things you lose only once but never regain: trust, reputation, and virginity.

Earlier today Jack made a dramatic pivot from cow to magic beans. Later we have an interview with his mother.

Whilst I think it sounds great, are you not concerned that allowing uploaded images may make you a repository of illegal stuff?

I'm not hosting any images, you can only select Unsplash hosted images :)

The character of a country is mostly defined by those who have power either nationally or locally. The value of democracy is that, if well implemented, those in power reflect proportionately the wishes of the whole nation. Sadly it rarely happens.

There is also the lack of support for bookmarks. I value the ability to reach a part I am interested in quickly.

When Chrome started supporting PWAs you couldn't bookmark the content at all. They seem to have fixed that now.
