currently trending on hacker news: i want to live like costco people "Embracing the Costco lifestyle means accepting the fact that I am, in many ways, becoming my father. This is an old idea, both Freudian and Kierkegaardian—the belief that we are all destined to embody learned characteristics and habits passed down from parent to child. I remember my father’s Costco order from the ’90s perfectly, because it made up the regular contents of our kitchen growing up. The blueberry, poppy seed, and chocolate muffin multipack, the white chocolate macadamia nut cookies, the bulk powdered superjar of Gatorade concentrate. But I can recall almost nothing about actually visiting the place with him. My dad loved Costco so much that I think he liked to keep the act of visiting as a pleasure solely for himself." https://tastecooking.com/i-want-to-live-like-costco-people/
