Netflix, can we have nice things?
Netflix in 2024 is pretty shite. Iβm not a huge fan of reality TV.

the selfishness of self-discovery
is it an exercise in narcissism to work on yourself? For several years now, Iβve been deep in the trenches of personal growth. Embarking on this journey wasnβt deliberate, however. Back in 2020, when the world ground to a halt, I was suddenly confronted with more time to reflect than I knew what to do with. Leading up to the pandemic, I was an expert in suppressing my emotions, using the transient dopamine-inducing...
