Shipping code and raising kids. Same chaos, different syntax.

To anyone who’s genuine and looking to purchase Undertale - the determination syphony tickets for Cleveland. I have spare tickets available if anyone is interested. I'm happy to verify the legitimacy. It’s an instant transfer via VividSeat.

Underrated life advice: Everything that triggers you is a you-problem. You can either stay upset or work on yourself and become better.

Walking is an underrated form of therapy. You get sun on your skin. You activate your frontal lobe, responsible for processing emotions. You release endorphins and relieve stress. Take a 20-minute walk outside, and I guarantee you'll see the world differently.

It is easier, in life, to *avoid* things than commit to things. At least for me.

So I recommend avoiding the deadline sins: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.

It will get you to the same place but much easier to recognize when the unit test is failing.

My boy is simply awesome.

Go for a walk.
No phone.
No music.
No podcast.
No coffee.

If you pass kids selling lemonade, you stop, buy lemonade, overpay, complement the kids, and drive on your merry way. Those are the rules.

My uncle Dan once pointed a gun at me because I told him that Garth Brooks was more outlaw country than Waylon Jennings.

Pich a niche, find there most painful problem, the big one not the small one, and become the best in the world at solving it.

When I was a kid my parents didn’t read 900 reviews before buying a toaster. They saw one at Sears, liked the price and brought it home.

That toaster then survived long enough to become part of my inheritance.

My kid recently started reading independently and is on something of a reading bender.

I bought him the entire Tintin collection and he is devouring it. One book per night, every night. I am running out of books and need ideas, fast

Books like Tintin. Adventure & virtue.

Many of us walk around afraid of getting in trouble.

There is no trouble.

We will not be called into the principal's office.

We are not on trial,

It's best to avoid breaking the law but otherwise there's no trouble.

It's a delusion held over from childhood.

It will become increasingly rare to find a man who can lift the weight of his own soul.

To be honest I'm getting severely burned out on politics.

I can't be the only one.

You don't need more talent, luck, or connections to get ahead. You need to do the things most people won't.

No animal on earth knows what a Monday is.

No plant. No ocean. No nervous system in nature. The week doesn’t exist. You’ve been exhausted by something that was never real.

" Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German law; § 13 BeurkG) by a notary that then charged €30,000. That was for his first company. His second company, needless to say, was not incorporated in Germany.

Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. No, they're understated."
