“Up to a point a man’s life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him; then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be.
Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate.
Everyone has it within his power to say, this I am today, that I shall be tomorrow.
The wish, however, must be implemented by deeds.”
-Louis L’Amour
Why does every woman actor in a role like this behave as if it’s the first time a woman has ever portrayed a strong protagonist? We’ve had strong women in movies for decades. Nobody complains about a female lead role being smart, strong, or capable. It’s like they don’t want to stop being victims because then they’re not special anymore.
@LuxLifestyleLab You cannot join if you only sell digital products or communities. Tangible product or service businesses only. Otherwise you’ll have endless course bros all hawking to each other. A minimum annual revenue threshold will also weed out the posers and “hustlers”.
@mhp_guy Born and raised on the Wasatch Front. When I moved to Wisconsin I was shocked at how low the bar was for local businesses. And now I’m crushing them.
@Slic_Ric_DaRula@StumpGuyTy While they watch from the porch sipping lemonade mumbling “yeh boy git that stump out there, it’s mighty deep ya hear. Sweat for my dolla.” 😂
AI is proving the truth behind the saying “poor craftsmen blame their tools” in real time.
Pay attention to the difference between between using AI and those learning AI.
Giving a cave man a super computer won’t get him to the moon.
I’m seeing a lot of cave men out there.
It was never about being a perfect country.
It’s always been about being the one that never stopped trying to be better.
Pushing the envelope.
Refusing to take no for an answer.
American excellence is the spirit of pursuing greatness in the face of death.
Defying the largest empire the world has ever seen, and winning.
It’s what we do, and everyone wants to be on the winning team. The thing is, we opened the roster to anyone that wanted to join regardless of merit, and now we’re wondering why we’re not winning.
There is no time to rest on laurels of victories past, there is only more work.
Flirting is not just for women you find attractive. it's for the barista, the bouncer, the guy at the gym, the stranger on the street. warmth is a way of moving through the world. the men who do it naturally never struggle to find opportunity, connection or a reason to smile.
@PathOfMen_ Flirt with everyone. Every gender. Every situation.
You’ll realize it’s not flirting. It’s being sociable and connecting.
Not everything is sex.
I noticed a massive positive effect in my everyday stressors when I changed my descriptive language.
My go to word became “silly”.
That’s silly.
He’s silly.
They’re being so silly about this.
It sounds dumb and my best friend made fun of me but what do you think is more triggering to your emotional state?
I can’t believe they’re screwing us.
Or
I can’t believe they’re being so silly about this.
I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be in a silly situation than feel like I’m getting screwed.

Lukewarm take: we need to stop using mental health/therapy buzzwords in day to day life. Not everyone you dislike is a narcissist. Being sad doesn’t mean you’re depressed. There’s a resounding difference between being nervous and having anxiety. You’re not ADHD because you don’t like to sit still. You’re not autistic because you’re quirky. OCD doesn’t mean you’re organized. And for the love of all that is holy, not every situation that made you uncomfortable is “trauma”.
@MaxTwain24@WNBA It’s the classic “oh so NOW you want to watch now that I’m interesting!? NOPE you can’t have me now.”
Classic ugly girl became attractive now wants revenge on those that previously rejected her.
