Job interviews are always like, “What can you do?”

Sir, I’m a millennial born in the ‘90s. Just tell me what I need to know, and I’ll master it in three days.

The fans got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago. Yesterday, 10 years after the first film and exactly 2 years after Deadpool & Wolverine, I felt so lucky to be on the #SDCC floor with everyone whose unapologetic devotion brings so much joy to this world.

My therapist once told me: Imagine being bitten by a snake and, instead of treating the bite, you waste time chasing the snake to understand why it bit you and prove you didn't deserve it.

Was seeing a man like this. He never brought it up once until I pressed him.

We were together constantly, and I genuinely thought I was lowering his grades because I never saw him study. Not even once.

He biked away and got the highest score in College Physics IV despite being the youngest. He came back to my place. And started complaining once saying “it shouldn’t be like this” and said it was too simple. Not in a snobby way. But that he felt like it was cheating with how simple it felt.

He later got multiple Big Tech offers after arguing with interviewers because he thought they were wrong … and then proving it. He turned the offers down because he thought he’d be bored.

I asked him what it was like to just get things. And very carefully and quietly he said “it’s lonely.” He was trying not to sound like a snob. That’s why he never talked about it. Even with me when all we would do was talk 24/7.

One thing I noticed was that he genuinely enjoyed being around ordinary people. Our conversations weren’t about proving who was smartest. They were just conversations.

"Skyrim is 15 years old" is already a crazy stat, but if you want it even more put into perspective I encountered an 8th grader named after a Daedric Prince at work today.

It is with immense sorrow and deep regret that I must report to you all that Jared Leto gives the best performance of his career in this.

Couple comes in for their annual review.

$2.8 million. Well invested. Solid Pension. Completely on track.

I ask the question I ask everyone.

"How is your daughter doing?"

Mom's face changed first.

Their daughter is 39. Hasn't asked for anything. Never complained.

But she's been in the same apartment for six years.

Daycare alone is $1,800 a month. Down payment feels impossible.

Dad said "we always figured she'd get it eventually."

I pulled up a simple chart.

Statistically they live to 88. She inherits at 56. Maybe 60.

At 60 her own retirement is eight years away.

The money that could change everything at 39 arrives when her finish line is already close.

Neither of them had ever seen it framed that way.

The annual gift exclusion is $19,000 per parent per child.

They can move $38,000 a year to her. No gift tax. No estate implications.

Over ten years that's $380,000 transferred while they're healthy enough to watch it matter.

Dad looked at his wife.

"Why are we waiting?"

Most families leave everything at death because nobody showed them the math of giving it while they're alive.

this is arguably one of the most dangerous ways to live as a man even if it looks strong on the surface.

i started working in mining straight out of school, remote sites, long rotations and harsh conditions and out there, weakness gets exposed fast, you carry your own weight, you fix your own gear, you eat what you cook, no one babysits you underground... that environment trains you to rely on yourself or get crushed, literally.

after a few years, that mindset followed me home. i paid my bills early, handled repairs, made my own food, kept my emotions locked up tight and independence became identity. if something broke, i fixed it. if something hurt, i buried it. i didn’t need anyone and i wore that like armor.

but here’s the part nobody tells you: when you build a life where no one is needed, you also build one where no one fits. relationships started feeling inefficient, emotional conversations felt unnecessary, vulnerability felt like handing someone a pickaxe and hoping they wouldn’t swing.

self sufficiency and independence is powerful, yes it makes you competent, steady and hard to shake but if your not careful as a man, it turns into emotional isolation disguised as strength... and unlearning that, learning to let someone stand beside you instead of always proving you can stand alone is harder than any shift underground.

21yrs old, leaving a pub, and a laughing drunk man punched me randomly. I had no idea how to fight, but threw a wild punch back that he stepped right into and was knocked out. I had a strong feral urge to piss on him. Didn't but still think about how we're just monkeys in shoes.
