Well....nice to see Mr. Potato made out bigly in spite of his mental defect in spelling. His name generally pops up among the unwashed at Trivia Game night.

I have a boomer question on formatting, and a boomer comment. The boomer “question” is actually confusion on your formatting; How can I tell when you’re quoting an article or person, and when you’re writing your own words? I can tell the difference most of the time, but the different formats on the left of your pieces confuse the old man.

The boomer’s comment is that two of the best rock docs (NOT the two best) are on The Rolling Stones, “Gimme Shelter,” arguably the best rock documentary ever, and, “Stones in Exile,” just excellent in general.

I agree, sometimes I'm confusing. I'm still getting the hang of this editor.

I intend, if it's in quotes or has the red line indented text, it's a quote.

If there's a particular quote that's confusing let me know and I can reformat it on the fly.

The vertical paragraph markers are sometimes your own words, and seemingly, sometimes quotes. Perhaps using bold fonts for your own thoughts and the vertical markers for quotes? Please understand, I’m not throwing rocks. Your work is worth the money whether I’m confused or not.

I redid the Jocko Willink podcast quote, which was a bit confusing (to me)

I should never use the vertical paragraph markers for my words. At least I think I shouldn't. Let me know where

"You have to help yourself first by growing up a bit. You don’t need to buy something just because you’d like to have it. If you’re in a hole, at least stop digging."

100%. I didn't buy useless shit when I was saving for a house deposit either. Now it's phones, cocktails, and Uber Eats delivery of ice cream. Not to mention your 15 OnlyFans porn subscriptions.

It's gotten very hard to see a muddle through case for the next few years. The can is a vestige of its former self and the road went into a box canyon years ago. It isn't even clear that there's a net positive liquidation value at this point.
