I would definitely argue that it is at least technically correct.

Your example points to a vague resemblance in how it sounds spoken, which has barely nothing to do with the meaning. This much ought to be obvious.

My thought points to an unlikely lesson found in both phrases. That is, both remind to make the most out of life, because inevitable death. As others have pointed out, the connotations just have been formed such that YOLO ends up generally achieving that with recklessness and "Memento Mori" generally with caution and healthy respect for mortality.

However, that does mean that the same lesson is still found in them, which indeed makes them mean pretty much the same thing. Note that I don't claim them to be synonymous, like a certain comment claims, or interchangeable, which they aren't.

TL;DR: Your example relies on how it sounds and it is indeed superficial. In my thought the similarity indeed exist in the language and is technically correct.

While I meant what I originally said, this is a great thought! Thanks for the comment!

I've heard good things about a book called Thinking, fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman.

Also I got more reccs if you got any specific topics you like or goals to reach. There're books about subconcious and intuition, handling bad emotions and "manipulating"/leading/convincing people.

Other comments bash on it, but I think I would have it as long as the chicken in indeed boiled and not raw.

I mean it doesn't look too good overall, but the pasta seems nice and boiled chicken is probably pretty tasteless so easy to eat. The corn might be the problem because it's hard to eat and the mouth feel might be funny.

And it would be free and prepared "ready" so that's nice. :)

Same here! Negative side: Not all books are available, especially a bit nicher ones, such as philosophy. Libraries can be great though.

Thanks for the comment!

I explain poorly.

The Tor Browser has this setting to redirect clearweb urls to onion urls.

When used in the Tor browser, I can access reddit with it's clearweb site (.com) and (with the "prioritize Tor sites" turned on) the url showing it as onion site (.onion).

Hope I understand it right and with the setting turned on, tor indeed "magically makes clear web site to an onion site".

Not Tor-expert, hope I get this right. :)

ETA: clarify

I daily drive FF Focus. When I encounter the discussed page, I just navigate to 'Open in..." and choose my TOR browser and open it there. VPN stays active all the time (Proton).

I'll check if it loads the page as an onion site or not.

..

Checked, loaded with default settings (.com) and as an .onion site. Both work.

So Tor works as a whole for me for now, it seems.

ETA: clarify - Added "(.com)"

I circumvent it with Tor Browser (Alpha) on my android mobile.

I think this is reasonable.
