  • What? He doesn't pay very good attention to politics, you can't blame him!

  • While interesting, I'm not convinced it would stop pressure from an athlete's home country. Just increases the personal conflict against those pressures.

    Consider a 4 year ban for the country instead. Make it a serious offense.

  • This has been the go to move in the Republican playbook since the 80s. However, let's hope this move continues to have less power: “Today, 24% of U.S. adults describe themselves as born-again or evangelical Protestants, down 6 percentage points since 2007.”

  • That's fuckin awesome!

  • Pretty sure he doesn't own a cat, based on how that monitor was set up.

  • Incorrect, I actually looked up both Kelly's and Duckworth's backgrounds as I wasn't familiar - I see why they were first!

  • You legitimately think the Democratic party will get behind any of these nominations enough to defeat Trump? I'd say most are considered more controversial than fuckin Hillary was.

  • Ask anyone that wants to remove people off the ticket: Who should they be replaced with?

    I haven't heard a good answer yet.

  • TBF Russia would benefit pretty massively from global warming; a lot of their unusable land might become usable.

  • Willpower is definitely a thing. It's defined as:

    • "The ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals
    • The capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling, or impulse
    • The ability to employ a “cool” cognitive system of behavior rather than a “hot” emotional system
    • Conscious, effortful regulation of the self by the self
    • A limited resource capable of being depleted"
  • Hey there, subject aside, I think you need to review what you truly think is important in your life. Based on this post you seem to feel a lot of pressure to succeed, but what success really means is up to you, not anyone else. I found the book "Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" to be helpful on this subject; as for the title it's not about not giving a fuck but choosing carefully what to give a fuck about. There's some interesting stories on this exact subject in there, e.g. did you know that Dave Mustaine largely considers his majorly successful music career a failure because he was kicked out of a band before starting Megadeth? The band he was kicked out of was Metallica, so he compares himself to them and robs himself of any joy.

    There also is more than one path to a goal. Even when you feel like you've "failed" it just means you have to find another way.

    Personally, I'd find a compilation of such notes a bit morbid and quite sad. So much wasted potential because people felt that they couldn't change, and we can all change if we want to. But it's a genuinely interesting concept. Maybe others find them motivational the way you do!

  • TIL they put percentage limits on hyperbole. Thanks for letting me know friend!

  • Elon is paying a lot of money to try to swing the political spectrum way far to the right. At this point everyone else has left.

    Why haven't you?

  • Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court's corruption - they said so themselves!

  • Wow that's actually interesting thanks for letting me know!

  • Oh that's why all female characters get debuffs /s

  • It's a nice suit! You can't just discount a candidate because they wear a hockey mask 24/7.
