It's a photo, it's common to see random quotes on metro whiteboards. Point of the whiteboards, is to provide service disruption across underground. But whenever things are running smooth people use the opportunity to do random quotes.

Doesn't feel like a shower thought, looks like we'll organised thought, like shower philosophy maybe. Because ripple effect part is just pure phylosophicla nonsense.

I'm 31 and I scored all 20, assuming last is phone book. Although I only trained in typewriter, never actually sent anyone a letter. Although I did type a contract for my dad so I guess that's a real use case. All 20 then.

You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.

I don't like it either, just explaining how it's supposed to work.

All games are second person. Because second person is you we don't mention it because it would be boring, first and second person shooter or second and third person shooter. Don't have the same ring and wastes words. Technically top down and second person RTS would be long ass genre name.

Insurance provider in my area has premium discounts if I do certain things. If I get my boilers checked and serviced, it reduces my premium next year. And cases as dead branch falling, they have a form that I can fill up to send for review, however in reality they will wait for the annual home inspection before renewal to asses threat, but they would pay for dead branch to be removed.

A bloke down my street had a tree growing too close to electrical wire and he kept complaining to the electric company to trim the tree or risk a fire to no avail. Then he told this to the insurance and they sent a strongly worded letter prompting electrical company to fix it in 2 days.

Also I have some experience with flood risk underwriting in Malaysia, we'd pay to have Strom drains cleaned, and fix some supports for buildings who we'd deem flood prone, because fixing those would be a 1-2% cost of replacing the entire house.

Point being insurance providers definitely can and do spend money on preventative care. I guess US very strongly doesn't believe in that.

Of course forming attachment to things that rest of the world might consider mundane is pretty normal and we all do it. Nothing unnatural or out of place for that and totally understandable. I understand sadness over a broken bowl. I worry that breaking of bowl is self inflicted.

In hindsight, I misunderstood OP's question. I think I understand and agree with your points.
