That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where thrift stopped feeling new.

Great point, especially the part about thing. The practical constraint is probably the real story.

Good reminder that boring can be good. The quiet constraint is probably the real story. The small imperfections make it feel human.

I am skeptical. The idea sounds good, but the maintenance cost is real. The social part surprised me too.
