@LauraLoomer@theAuntieAngie They wash their fucking hands after using the bathroom & don’t wear shoes inside their homes… maybe there’s something to learn. They wash their feet more than you even wash your hands.
Croatian soldiers ‘saving the honour of Europe in Bosnia’ — from the hills above Mostar, one shell at a time, as they help destroy the 16th-century Stari Most. Very honourable, of course.
@realpeteyb123 You’re naive if you think it was to save Orthodoxy and your Greek culture…. You are just a pawn. It was easier to control the independent Greeks vs having the Ottoman Empire on your doorstep.

Good news for programmatic websites.
Google reversed their view on auto-generated pages.
They removed the algorithm “penalties” applied with the core update from a year ago.
This is the third programmatic website in my portfolio with the same trend.
We are back to action!
Tech SEOs!
This is a day to rejoice and dust off those auto-page generators!

TREAT LIFE LIKE A VIDEO GAME:
Life can be thought of as the ultimate game. A game which you can win, or lose. Several of the strategies we apply to video games can be used or related to real life so that you can WIN.
- You are the Hero of this tale
- You can level up in anything you want, just grind it
- speak to NPCs, they could have quests for you
- If you don’t like an area, go somewhere else
- Form a Guild of likeminded people to work with
- It's Not Real
You are the hero:
Act as if it is so! This does not mean discount others - but do everything in your power to improve yourself! You are the one that you spend the most time with - you have to enjoy life and live it under your terms. Create the future you want - you are the hero! Imagine everything in your 'storyline' goes the way you want it to - because the hero always wins in the end.
You can level up anything - just grind it:
Practice helps everything - want level 100 smithing? Go bang on an anvil every day. You will get better eventually. Go talk to a stranger = +1 public speaking. Lift weights and get good sleep = +1 Strength With focused effort and repeated time spent doing an activity, you can level up in anything. Remember this when you think you are ‘bad’ at something - its only because you haven’t practiced.
Speak to NPCs - they could have quests for you
Become a part of your community, talk to people you don’t know; you never know when a connection can lead to something beautiful and helpful. I have experienced many a fun 'side quest' because I just spoke to the people I encounter.
If you don’t like an area, go somewhere else
Everyone has parts of a game that aren’t enjoyable - simply go somewhere else. This works for geography but also the people you are around. If people aren’t helping you get towards your goals or you’re not enjoying this part of life, go somewhere else. Change instances. Change activities, go 'raid a different dungeon'. If you're not having fun, you can go somewhere else.
Form a Guild
Just like the knights of old would form ORDERS to conquer evil together - so too the strength of man is magnified by becoming part of a group with the same intentions and aims. Find and form relationships with people who are on the same path as you. Bouncing off and learning from such people is imperative to your progress. Life's better with friends.
It’s Not Real
Now you are much more likely to do something silly but FUN in a video game than in Real life. You think - ‘What if people judge me? I don’t want to look stupid’. Realise that everything you do, no one is really thinking about you as much as you think. We all go back to the same void in the end, and you don’t want to have regrets on your deathbed. At the end of the day, you shouldn't let the 'realness' of life dictate whether or not you do or say something.
GO LIVE LIFE IN THE MOST STUPENDOUSLY ENJOYABLE WAY POSSIBLE.
In the process, you might find that you have beaten the game - then you can increase the difficulty as you get to a higher level.
But that is a discussion for another time...
The Magic of 1031 Compounding is, well, magical. This table demonstrates the impact of taxes on compounding. The same transactions, the same returns each time. The only difference between the middle column and the right column is deciding to 1031 versus not. At the end, 1031s net you $292 million more. This is the power of tax-free compounding. This is the magic of 1031s.
