What happens when you die:
They divide up your shit.
They summarize your life in 500-1000 words.
People who knew you less say sorry to people who knew you more.
Everyone eats, drives home, and wakes up the next day and goes to work.
Whatever you’re worried about won’t be in those 500 words.
You can dare greatly or not at all, but you’re gonna die either way.
Might as well squeeze every motherfucking drop out.
The coolest people I know:
1 have great manners
2 remember and use people's names
3 show up on time
4 are lifelong students
5 listen with interest
6 do not respond to negativity
7 eat last
8 mentor and sponsor
9 give without expecting a get
10 talk less, but say more
11 are supportive truth tellers
12 practice random acts of kindness
13 are pragmatic optimists
14 forgive first
15 seek random collisions
16 do not brag
17 show high integrity and benevolence
18 tip well
19 hold doors open longer
20 make us laugh loudly
@jakeglmn Lol a sleep expert recommending wiggling into a happy hour routine “built for your type,” isn’t paying attention to real health span and longevity data.
He had a lot of functional/reliable advice on that episode, but that particular message was irresponsible.
@RepSpartz It’s a framework, and you know that. It’s not a mandate on every dollar our the door. Stop with the ideological nonsense, help out, and keep the momentum. This administration is moving in the right direction for a better fiscal future in America. This helps continue that work.
It’s a framework, and you know that. It’s not a directive on every dollar out the door. It allows the administration to continue to get our fiscal house in order, reduce our debt, and set America up for a stronger future. Stop working against every. single. thing. not aligned with your ideological postions.
Fear mongering propaganda, so stop.
You could’ve stopped all the yelling and opposition to everything and decided to lead by helping to find common ground and better language, but you didn’t. You and your party are sitting on the sidelines yelling. We need better leadership out of Wisconsin.
@RandPaul Sit this one out. You are missing the point. Let them navigate the negotiations and get our country in a better fiscal position for the future.
I don’t know how to get this across to people. The US tripled its money supply in the past 18 years. It held interest rates at zero for nine of those years. Everyone thinks mortgage rates should be 3.5% and the stock market only goes up. Stocks were overvalued and interest rates were artificially low. How come no one thinks there is a price to be paid for that? All we are doing is returning to normal after a bender.
Quit with the fear mongering. At some point we need to correct course from the insane levels of printed money and inflation. The market will be back. This is an isolated moment and building America requires our own innovation, tech, and manufacturing. Our reliance on others is a bad long term policy.
@RealityStriker@RepJeffries Your response is the problem, you see? This isn’t an “us v. them” game, regardless of political lean. Keeping score or wins and losses for a party is the lowest form of thought and governance; it is the problem. We need to find our common ground and that’ll require real leaders.
