Allowing #Scotland, a country famous for its war of independence from Britain, to play not one but two games in greater Boston, a region famous for starting a war of independence from Britain...was a fantastic idea by all involved

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

This needs to become illegal. It is data collection + intimidation of existing employees + stock market manipulation + HR pretending to be working. Literally nothing is good about it and it damages the social fabric a lot.

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.

A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.

Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.

So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.

The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.

The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.

Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

Man it would take a book.. Ok I got 1 short one.. (maybe)
I’ve always said if you want to know the epitome of competitiveness it’s Drew, but not for selfish gain he genuinely believed if he was his best his teammates would have a chance to experience success..

So growing up I ( and many others) were taught leadership and working hard and setting an example was, at least in part, exemplified in being the first to work and the last to leave… well mine and Drew’s morning routines were very similar arrive at the facility about 5:15-30, grab some coffee and get in the film for an hour, break for a quick hot tub and workout, grab breakfast and then back into the film room.. 4 yrs every M,W,Th,Fri during the season.. and most of the OTAs

So we’d arrive at virtually the same time every morning.. park in the same spots,.. the only two vehicles in the lot and we’d walk towards the building….
and I don’t notice this really until maybe my 3rd yr with him, but if we were walking together to the building, the closer we got the faster he’d walk…

He’d want to put his code in and open the door and go in first.

I didn’t think anything of it… but I started to pay attention more and more to it.. He was not gonna let me go in before him..seems silly right, I mean what difference did that really make…

BUT … every detail of his role mattered to him.
He’s the greatest leader I’d ever been around, and this type of thing is exactly why.

This joker took his job..

his role as the leader..

the tone and example setter.. to the n’th degree

So seriously that he didn’t want me setting foot in that building one second earlier than him. That was the obsession with greatness, not selfishly, but rather for the sake of his teammates.

It was his job to the first in the building and last to leave. Because if he don’t do it, how could he ask that of his teammates.

He’s 1 of 1
He’s the greatest ever to play QB..

One of the greatest cultural losses that took place between my grandparents generation and my parents generation, and completely extinct by mine, was the idea of company, of random and unexpected visitors, the “we were just passing by” pop-ins.

I watched cowboy bebop when I was around 8-10.

Im 30 now.

Re watching Cowboy Bebop as an adult hits different.

When you’re younger, it’s easy to latch onto the cool fights, the jazz, Spike being effortlessly smooth. But coming back to it later, you start feeling the weight of the themes. Loneliness. Regret. People running from their past instead of healing it. Characters stuck in emotional orbit, unable to move on.

Stuff that flew right over our heads as kids suddenly lands hard af.

Honestly, I recommend any older anime fan do this. Revisit the shows you loved growing up. You dont just rewatch them, you re-contextualize them. Your life experience fills in the gaps the story always had waiting for you.

Same anime. Different you.
And somehow… its just better.

Cowboy bebop is a 10/10.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

If you put your phone down and go into the community and talk to strangers, you see people get along 99% of the time.

We need to be social again. Don't fall for the lie that we're 2 distinct factions at war.

You're not so different from your liberal or conservative neighbor.
