use the fine china
listen, i'm sure you've heard this before you've seen that one tweet that got put on tumblr and expanded on but use the fine china. don't leave nice things to use until the very end. because you'll end up never fucking using them.
i've been microdosing this idea by actually burning my candles instead of just leaving them on the shelf to get dusty. what brought this into mind was me watching a movie on my phone at my desk instead of getting up to watch it on the tv. but uh. i'm watching the movie. which is the whole point.
the other point is that the new wallace and gromit movie is really good and sums up my feelings on how modern tech (and ai) have been crammed into so many things they don't need to be crammed into. also fuck penguins.
