Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 7, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Plausibly, if my personality is that unstable, my tastes in archiving old things will also change. I'll go through a minimalist phase, throw everything out, then go through a nostalgic phase and regret it.

Keep enough small tokens to decorate my day-day living space with pleasant memories and entertaining anecdotes, then give/throw the rest away. Curate the collection on a rolling basis, trading put the least meaningful for new tokens as I collect them. That's essentially what I do now. You can't keep everything. And you can fit a whole lot of memories in a relatively small scrapbook.
