I believe wrestling has the capability to create exceptional, world changing leaders. It provides a platform to practice facing adversity, both as a team & as individuals. To me, wrestling is about learning a way of life & applying it to everything you do, every day #mywhy
@HHSGov Really just plagiarized @SouthPark's upside down nutritional pyramid from 2014 and called it a day. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but at least make it a different shape 😂.
@GuntherEagleman Term limits actually aren't the problem. I would much rather see these two things:
1. Upper age limit.
2. Grid system for voting districts.
@mypoliticalx@courtneyknill That's kind of like anyone who receives money from AIPAC is funding their campaigns using US tax dollars laundered through Israel.
@SpeakerJohnson You don't lose your paycheck though, do you? Maybe you and all the other congressmen should donate your paychecks to organizations that will need to pick up your slack.
@SenRandPaul So what do you suggest we do with disinformation bot-farms and the companies that profit from running them at the expense of our democracy? Should we allow other countries to continue to influence our elections through them? Allow them to influence Americans health decisions?
I wrote the book on developing toughness.
One example I used was how the US military realized (and research backs up) is that over relying on “old school toughness” backfires.
It leads to worse discipline, lower mental toughness, etc. why? Because when fear is the primary tool, people learn to only perform when someone is there to be afraid of. They externalize motivation, and intuitively look to skip steps when no one is around.
Just think of the kid you grew up with who had the drill Sargent dad. That kid was usually the best at getting away with stuff and often a menace.
A far better approach, what the military learned: train for the demands of the task. Yes, that meant stress inoculation. Sometimes doing crazy things. But it was to teach how to handle the moment. It was more specific to the task at hand.
Now, of course it’s nuanced. There’s a difference between sorting and developing when it comes to the military. But too often, we confuse the two. And think that being an asshole will toughen folks up. When for the most part it just leads the people with more talent and better options to find a different path.
Covered this all in depth in Do Hard Things.
@firstcolombia@consumebenadryl@shipwreckshow Wait for what? You don't make a claim then try to go study it. You always study first, then make the claim. RFKJ only indulges in junk science, so he wouldn't know that.
@BootyPootiePoo@missmayn The EPA won't let you do that. It has to have about a thousand sensors and has to meet ridiculous efficiency standards that end up being net negative by the time everything is made in a factory. Regulation is how large companies protect themselves from small innovative ones.
@firstcolombia@consumebenadryl@shipwreckshow I think you mean study. As in one. There's only one small, poor study showing a "link". There is a massive study showing no link. All this is for the administration to say they've accomplished something without actually doing any work...just like they have done their entire lives
@elonmusk Imagine being a billionaire and not realizing people are dynamic and can be both. Imagine being the owner of a social media platform and stoking division in our country.
Do you want to go to Mars? Because this is exactly how you don't get to go to Mars.
@TheUnifiedNews @aussieinaustin_@GaryCardone@grok I also would like to read it. Considering the Congressman proposing it wore a IDF uniform, I'd say it's not a far leap for it to be used to shut down private donations. Bonus points for the red team is that most people donating to those humanitarian groups are from the Blue team.
