  • I used to be that way too, but it’s a skill that you learn through practice. Like push yourself to get into things just a teeny tiny bit to start with for now. Then after awhile it’ll be easy to get to that point of toe-dipping, so then you push yourself to go in a bit more next time, and do that every time you’re at some activity, and then eventually you’ll find it easy to jump right into the deep end of every activity. But it does take some effort to push yourself in the earlier stages

    I assume you’re quite young, which is great! I’d suggest learning to enthusiastically jump into whatever activity you wind up in. It’s way more fun that way.

    At a comic con? Throw on a mask and start talking in a funny voice!

    At an opera? Listen closely to the sounds and try to enjoy the artisticness of the performance!

    In a big grassy field with nothing to do? Take your shoes off and let the grass tickle your feet!

    In my experience it’s easy to judge things as lame and to tell yourself that you’re too cool for that thing, but that winds up not being fun, and you wind up missing out on a lot of stuff that you actually would’ve enjoyed if you let yourself get into it. Learn to be open to trying new types of experiences and you’ll wind up having more fun in life!



  • This exactly. At the broadest range you can say there are certain qualities that are more prevalent in one age group compared to another age group, but at the individual person level those trends are meaningless. Any individual person can be conservative or liberal, be caring or selfish, be x or y.












  • It all depends on the value of what you’re trying to secure, and if an attacker knows the value of what’s in the account, and if the attacker has access to hints about the password you used to narrow down the possibilities. The researchers knew all of that info and they still didn’t want to bother trying to crack the password until they found an additional way to narrow down the possibilities even further.

    There’s no such thing as perfect security. A lock only needs to be strong enough to make it not worth breaking into for what’s in there


  • I just feel bad for him. Can you imagine how much the moment of throwing it away is burned into his mind? And ever since then he’s wasted huge amounts of his life trying to find it because he’s very understandably obsessed. Can you imagine accidentally throwing away 181 million dollars? And living with the knowledge that it could be out there somewhere just sitting there in the garbage?

    Sounds like a nightmare.

    If i were him i would try to focus on the fact that most likely he would’ve spent or sold the bitcoin before it became worth millions anyway, so his mistake of throwing it away probably didn’t really cost him very much at all
