@stocchi__ @wersterlobe also, werster does full 20+ hr runs of stadium 1 + stadium 2, with (I assume) his timer running the entire time. not really games with long cutscenes either. if he does take a bathroom break, he would probably just let the timer run
To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

@Athanasius00@JamesMartinSJ A priest can only command the attention of the faithful for more than 10 minutes if:
1. The priest has that much charisma
2. The congregation is willing to pay attention for more than 10 minutes
The problem is, there aren’t many situations where both apply.

*technically* she didn’t die, but being paralyzed is probably not a desirable outcome either
@foncea@Reuters I think the applause is more directed to the idea that athletes don’t have to be able to bear pressure ALL of the time and being honest about it, rather than just “grinning and bearing it”. Not so much that the pressure itself is negative.
@nytimes You know, I originally felt a little weird with how @nytimes counted the medals, but the more I think about it, the more I kind of like it. It puts into perspective how hard it is to even get on the podium, and puts focus on achieving rather than simply winning. (1)
Maybe it was not such a great idea for Christian faith leaders to shift the focus exclusively toward "what must we do to be saved?" and away from "what do we owe our neighbor and the earth?"
@ZeNightman@GothamChess@GordonRamsay goes into failing restaurants and complains all the time. However, he also actively works to turn the restaurant around. If the problem is deemed “unfixable”, only THEN does he ditch. Better to complain and attempt change than pretend the food isn’t killing people.
@CompteGros@rolandgarros@rogerfederer “I’d prefer him not to play if he didn’t feel good” That’s why he withdrew from the tournament. He felt good going into it, but he didn’t want to push himself. If he weren’t 39 and recovering from surgery, then it wouldn’t be fair. It’s unfortunate, but understandable.
