If the artist is excessively dependent on simply being “liked,” so that her true end isn’t in the work but in a certain audience’s good opinion, she is going to develop a terrific hostility to that audience, simply because she has given all her power away to them. It’s the familiar love-hate syndrome of seduction: “I don’t really care what it is I say, I care only that you like it. But since your good opinion is the sole arbitrator of my success and worth, you have tremendous power over me, and I fear you and hate you for it.” This dynamic isn’t exclusive to art.

David Foster Wallace. (via dailymeh)

I think this applies to relationships too…on a different level and dimension.

Soup.io will be discontinued :(

Dear soup.io fans and users,
 
today, we have to share very sad news. Soup.io will stop working in less than 10 days. :(
 
It's breaking our heart and we honestly tried whatever we could to keep the platform up and running. But the high costs and low revenue streams made it impossible to continue with it. We invested a lot of personal time and money to operate the platform, but when it's over, it's over.
 
We are really sorry. Soup.io is part of the internet history and online for one and a half decades.
 
Here are the hard facts:
- In 10 days the platform will stop working.
- Backup your data in this time
- We will not keep backups nor can we recover your data
 
July, 20th, 2020 is the due date.
 
Please, share your thoughts and feelings here.
 
Your Soup.io TEAM

9-YEAR-OLD ALEC GREVEN WRITES DATING BOOK "HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS" - New York Post

Watching his interview on CNN now. Really cute boy. Too bad he’s way too young for me. :p

310. Make time for your mom on your birthday. It's her special day too.

Had a similar conversation with a coworker today who asked me if there is a way to covert her VCR tapes to DVD format.

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Read this in about 30 minutes. I found the foreword by Rowling to be quite lame. There are four new short stories. The fifth one is straight out of The Deathly Hallows book. The book’s aimed at a younger age group. Still it was quite enjoyable. But I read it with zero expectations! There are commentaries by Albus Dumbledore at the end of each tale and I found these to be more enjoyable than the tales themselves. All in all, an okay read.

My New Eye Glasses

I ordered a pair of glasses for $12.95 including S&H. Zero taxes. You need to stop visiting that brick and mortar optician shop right now and start buying eye glasses online. A good pair of glasses at your local shop will set you back by at least $70. I can’t wait for my new pair to arrive! The tentative wait time is two weeks (max).

Great initiative to show your anger against the system and to ask for change! Please be there if you are in Mumbai. I wish I were in Mumbai now.
