"It was an ouroboros that had incorporated in Delaware and was running Facebook ads," is my favorite line I've seen in a minute, great read

Free to do what? Sit on a beach, apparently. Every single one of these people wanted to sit on a beach. I've never understood this. Have they been to a beach? There's sand. It gets everywhere. You can sit there for maybe three hours before you want to do literally anything else.

I laughed out loud when I read it, because it's so true.

I think its pretty obvious that "sit on a beach" is a metaphor for being able to do whatever you want not literally sitting on a beach for the rest of your life.

At the same time, you guys really can't imagine relaxing on a beach for more than a few hours? Like i'm not really a beach person but back when i lived near the ocean i spent the odd saturday just unwinding on the beach with a book. Certainly wouldn't want that every day, but y'all acting like it would be impossible to enjoy say abeach vacation for a few days seems crazy to me.

yes, but that didn't prevent the passage from being funny :) it's a rant, being literal about stuff like that is part of its schtick.

(also I could happily relax anywhere for a few hours, but ideally not on a beach because that's uncomfortable)

Nature is wonderful because it will relax and center oneself while making it clear why we created civilization.

I “retired” about a year ago. Back to actively doing some tech industry analyst stuff with some folks I know. Keeps me as busy as I care to be.

I would dearly love to be as busy as I care to be.

Right? That's my ultimate goal.

I love the beach.

Living near the beach is nice.

You can sit on it, walk on it, swim on it, surf on it, run on it, fish on it.

Better than a cement sidewalk, IMO.

I love the ocean, but I have to confess I don't care much for beaches. sand gets everywhere.

A lot of beaches happen to be near oceans.

Fortunately a lot of ocean isn't anywhere near a beach.
