The problem with this, I've found, is that you end up skipping a lot of things, and then find out later on that features were introduced years ago that you've wished, throughout the interim, existed. It's hard to keep up.

I wish there was regulation enforcing background colors for ads.

The solution to the plague of ads is to just stop buying so much shit. Most the stuff we buy shouldn’t even exist in the first place.

The solution is to stop caring so much about what you miss. Whatever it is, it’s not worth the unrelenting assault on your senses.

Replace your FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out).

We should just have an <advertisement> tag in HTML, regulation could then require it.

		Yeah, but that's just moving the goal post. They'll find some way to get around having to do it.

I'm okay with missing things. As I got older, I cared less and less about being aware of everything out there, and I was glad I got the thing done I needed so I could spend time with my family.
