@lexfridman It's better to be whole than to be good. The world is filled with helpful do-gooders exporting their personal values. "Now you're safe said the monkey to the fish as he helpfully placed the fish in the tree".
Just be you, and don't try so hard.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I heard that the way you go viral on this site is by making a big list of things you have to do. Let me try.

-You should mostly eat food you know is healthy, there is no magic food.

-You should also occasionally let yourself eat delicious food you know isn’t healthy. Otherwise what’s the point?

-You should be training with some kind of resistance (your bodyweight works), no matter your age

-You should do something to get your heart going and get a schvitz a few times a week

-You should know there isn’t a magic pill, a hack, or a diet and most of that crap people put in their lists is just mean to confuse you so you pay them to figure it out for you with whatever they are selling

-You should also know my daily newsletter is free, is allergic to bullshit, and includes weekly workouts, the latest health and fitness news, and motivation from me.

-Don’t worry, if you paid one of those people to tell you jumping in cold water or taking 29 pills every morning will get you fit, I’ll still be here in three months when you decide it’s time to try something that works. The only trick I know is that you have to work, it hasn’t changed in 76 years and it won’t change.

It is with profound sadness that we inform of the sudden passing of our Brother John Lindsay. Our thoughts are with John’s family and friends at this very difficult time.

[City of Burlington @cityburlington]

It is with profound sadness we lower our flags to honour our City team member, John Lindsay, who has passed away. They were a valued member of our Burlington Fire Department. Our thoughts are with their colleagues, family and friends at this very difficult time.

I am going to come out and say it, even if it hurts: Barbie was a way better movie than Oppenheimer

@_barrygray_ I was your highschool co-op student at the Burlington Spectator in 1985 with you and John...and you haven't aged a day!

Don't get sick or injured in @fordnation Ontario. It's incredibly disturbing that I've been in the ER looking at the same 20+ patients for over 5 hours.

[J LaPorte @captaindoor4]

@PicturesFoIder Damn.

[J LaPorte @captaindoor4]

@mjfree A less horrible one is to activate the alarm on your car while they do it and turn it off each time they stop...on each time they start

[J LaPorte @captaindoor4]

@mjfree I can only think of horrible ways to handle that. But the most important thing is to NOT get on their radar...they can't know it's you who it bothers. DM me for the horrible ideas 😉

"These people have their own personal beliefs, I just don't agree with them."

#Oilers Zach Hyman says he would absolutely wear a pride jersey, saying he disagrees with players who won't.

He adds it doesn't go against his beliefs, and its important to be welcoming to all. #yeg

@mjfree Woke: a slang term created and used for gas-lighting and dog whistling, to alert and rally the defenders of old money, and long infected systems of exclusivity.
