That line about anger being a dull tool hits hard. My dad used to say "don't just do something, stand there" when I'd get all worked up. Sounded backwards at first, but he meant to stop and think before you react. It flipped a switch for me. Now when I'm about to blow my top, I force myself to pause for like ten seconds. It keeps me from making stupid choices I'll regret later.

Honestly this feels like everything these days. Apps for parking, paying bills, even ordering coffee just decide to take a nap. Remember when things just worked? Now it's a gamble if the digital thing will function, which is wild when you're just trying to park your car and not get a ticket.

Actually that sounds like a great way to end up with a hundred files. The auto-save feature is built for this exact reason. Just set it and forget it, then you never have to break your flow.

That's genius! I bet it works because it forces your brain to make a weird connection it wouldn't normally.

The phrase "had to choose" is just a figure of speech.
