  • It’s so stupid that people would react so emotionally as to relate their feelings to a breakup. This should be a concern to each and every one of you. It’s a website. Reacting this way is delusional. You can get your dopamine hit elsewhere, with TikTok and other sources being still available, so why the breakdown?

    The rage from the Reddit community has been surprising but this broken form of emotional regulation is embarrassing.



    • Endurance by Alfred Lansing - I still can’t believe that Shackleton didn’t lose a single man throughout their entire ordeal
    • A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini - this was my first read when I recently delved into the middle-eastern world and it remains an outlier. Despite being fiction, it’s very much an accurate representation of the real world unfortunately.
    • Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami - I read this once every year because it’s just a great work of fiction.
    • Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker - everyone should read this to become a better version of themselves by understanding their sleep hygiene and how their current sleep regime may be detrimental to their body and lives.

    White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky

    I’m pleased to see a Dostoyevsky book mentioned that isn’t Crime and Punishment or The Karamazov Brothers. This is certainly one of his best short stories and shouldn’t be overshadowed by his most well-known titles.
