@MaxAKingsley@nb29648@FBAwayDays the person didn't say football fans, they said fans
don't act like mcgregor fans and irish football fans are two majorly distinct groups lol
@EchoOfVeritas@honorablesaint@thestevieststev@e_cdalton You can try to explain this with science all you like but it just shows you've not been around people who do this and aren't a gymrat yourself. Peak midwit shit. Everyone who's taking test looks haggered.
@DeanTheLean90@honorablesaint@e_cdalton Unfortunately this guy's example was poor, but his judgement is right. This is a good example of where people who are in the arena simply know more than AI. You see this a fuck ton in the gym with people who are on test - they all look haggered after going on it.
A drunk to Columbus at the dock:
No, sorry. The world is small. Very small actually, in the grand scheme of things. You have a few known seas and that's it. In a lifetime, tops, nobody reading these words will have set foot beyond Christendom. Most will live and die within a hundred miles of where they were born. This fact is so terrifying to some people that they spend every second in denial, clinging to the insane hope that somehow "exploration" will come along and rescue them from the smallness of their lives. Even if it could โ which it definitely can't โ then what? You sail off to watch all your crew die of scurvy and even their logbooks rot while you linger on some unknown shore, trembling in fear and grasping desperately onto a voyage that, no matter how far it goes, you've already wasted? And then you get to see new lands decay around you and the maps you drew burn out? Wow. Sounds like a lot of fun. But no thanks. I don't need to find a new world. I just want the world I have, however large or small, to be meaningful.
You're missing the spirit of the thing, man. It's about pushing humanity forward, not just fear of death. Anyone who follows Bryan can tell that.
Being a highly intelligent outlier doesn't negate your ability to be retarded, paradoxically it actually enables far more creative ways of being retarded.
The trick to making peace with being poor is to find status in orthogonal areas. Fitness is a big one that I have to mention and I think it's a good one but honestly I wouldn't recommend tying up too much of your self worth in that. It can lead to vanity and potentially crippling body dysmorphia.
The better way is to become known in your circle as just a really good person. Be 99th percentile in honesty, generosity, sincerity etc. and people will like and respect you. This is of course easier said than done. If it was easy everyone would do it and it wouldn't be 99th percentile any more
