“Build in such a way that you and those dear to you will use your buildings, look at them, work in them, spend their holidays in them, and grow old in them, with pleasure.”

I’ve always been intrigued by the idea of some kind of cultural Grand Shuffle.

The more left-leaning Americans slowly migrating to Europe (in this case the UK).

The more right-leaning Brits slowly migrating to the US.

But this doesn’t solve matters of the heart; home is home.

I just want to stop the UK from killing itself

Woo > nerds

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

Men are outraged by this woman not doing the Data Analytics Approved move here but she was winning the whole time and simply read those vibes correctly. This is a triumph of woo over nerds.

Too much data will ruin your intuition

@AJA_Cortes On top of the non-fiction, read For Whom the Bell Tolls (Hemingway), even if just to enjoy a classic

Fathers should educate sons in the old ways

Sons should apprise fathers of the new ways

You make them wise, they keep you young

Pastor, talking about manna:

“Can you imagine, the modern equivalent of just being able to walk out every morning and collect pancakes with butter?”

My wife, under her breath:

“Brother, do I have a book for you.”

When entering the woods, my dad used to just hand me a .30-06 and tell me “remember, you’re the scariest thing out there”

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

it’s crazy how if you talk to any serious hiker they’re like yes demons are real, make sure you don’t walk along a stream for too long, sometimes a witch trails me for miles, avoid wearing bright colors, and pray being entering the forest

I don’t care what anyone says

Hamburger Helper is a god-tier meal

How beer works:

Hard liquor > beer

Lager & Pils > IPA/ales/stouts

Glass bottles > cans

[Troglodyte @nathan_retvrned]

Weighted blankets are 25 lbs or less

It’s used to reduce anxiety

Average weight of 18 month old is typically around 25 lbs

The blanket is a poor replacement for a baby

The anxiety’s there because you don’t have a son/daughter sleeping on your chest at night

If you can hit a sacrifice fly, you can hit a home run

Statistics mean *jack* when you’re the outlier

[du @thedulab]

do not be a statistics cuck. this percentage of businesses fail. this is the chance marriage ends in divorce. this is how likely a dropout will make- it's all bs. sauce and faith. that is what u need. u must refuse to be relegated to a dot on a graph. seize what u know u deserve
