       @mwl@io.mwl.io To be fair, YOLO is meant as "you only live once, make it interesting".Like, you say it before you do something stupid, because you only live once, so if you don't get to do stupid things in this life, you're not gonna do them ever.

       @mwl >YOLO.">"Yes, so we better make it worthwhile."The full quote by Mae West went "you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough". Perhaps the removal of the ending gave some ambiguousness to the assertion.

       @mwl "I admire your childlike certainty" would be a proper answer to each.

       @mwlat some point contemplating 'YOLO' had me conjure up the following"you only live an infinite number of times, each moment a new self, each memory only a shadow of who you once were"or something like that anyway
