Embrace the difficulty, because it’s not going to go away.

Meditate as much as you can. An hour a day would not be overkill.

Bread can contain water, though only briefly

If I go there will be trouble.

Shift your goal to something more realistic based on your new knowledge of the world. This will happen multiple times throughout life; it’s part of the process.

Jordan Peterson covers this extensively in his course Maps of Meaning. You can watch or listen to the course on youtube by searching maps of meaning 2017 full course

I know he’s controversial, but mostly based on lies people tell about him. Sometimes to be happy you gotta see past the bullshit and go check something out for yourself.

I try to only drink it from white boobs, so it’s got balanced nutrition. It’s my substitute since I cant have chocolate or banana soylent.

You can contribute by doing code reviews on PRs. Even if your contribution is only to ask “What does this do?” it can help locate places where code isn’t easily readable.

Back when it came out, 1996 seemed about the same as 2027 feels now. Near future, who knows what could be different.

It’s an interesting choice, because there was really no present-day sci fi tech in the movie save for a video game that articulated as the player flew a plane (which may have existed but I hadn’t seen before in 1992).

So they chose to make the movie take place in the present day technology-wise, but still in the future. Just slightly in the future.

False. Wayne’s world captures the spirit of today, but back when it was a counter culture.

What people don’t realize is the kind of snark and goofy jokes that exist all throughout the movie used to be unusual. Now it’s basically how everyone talks.

You mean to tell me The Rock is a tourisht attraction?
