Itโ€™s just gratitude. Thatโ€™s the secret. ๐Ÿคซ Itโ€™s not a secret. Itโ€™s really it though. Thatโ€™s the secret sauce. I had to learn it in a thousand different ways, ways that sounded nice, sounded more profound. But if I boil it all down, itโ€™s just gratitude.

@QiaochuYuan It was recent. Itโ€™s been brewing, but it feels like the last year or two itโ€™s become more obvious and people are open about it.

@DoctorPerin There is a lot of good stuff, I think the overarching themes of Gurren Lagann would really hit for you, I donโ€™t know if youโ€™d actually enjoy it though. ๐Ÿคท Frieren is incredible. Deserves all its praise. Princess Mononoke is my fav Miazaki classic.

I am occasionally asked if I know anime because I have a finger on the pulse of pop culture but likeโ€ฆ the anime I watched was in the 90s, like Dragon Ball Z and Cowboy Bebop. I have no idea what people love today. I hear Frieren is popular

@mattyglesias There is no way it should be Schedule 1, so I don't really agree with this, but the widespread use of it I'm not certain really ended up being a good thing.

Marijuana rescheduling took so long to happen that I got old enough to develop serious doubts that itโ€™s a good idea.

Kind of regret that it took me until my 30s to get turned on to how good broccoli is. I blame Gen X parent cooking where all vegetables were just boiled to death with no seasoning. No wonder I didn't like them.

@cljack I swear I'm getting better at this now, but frankly I learn all lessons by being beaten over the head with them.

I am going to start a coaching service where I aggressively bully nerds into noticing when women are flirting with them. HOW ARE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU SO CLUELESS ๐Ÿ˜ญ

@cljack @Ruesavatar Easily the biggest lesson-in-retrospect of my adolescence is 6โ€™4โ€ mustachioed-and-bearded me SHOULD have asked out the hot girls I likedโ€”the other guys that did were jerks and the other girls were jealous of them, so SOMETHING nice would probably have come of it!

@Ruesavatar 10/10 shirt too. Hell I'd wear that. I wouldn't spill food on it either even eating rice with chopsticks. 100% would get water all over it using any sink though.

My son has just informed me that he would like to take me to a local horse racing festival, but he does not have enough money for tickets. He is so cute. ๐Ÿฅบ I told him that he would have to dress up for the races though, and he immediately lost interest. ๐Ÿ˜น

Things are perfect just the way they are. O look, a way to make them a little better. Things are perfect just the way they are. O look, a way to make them a little better.
Vivid Void@vividvoid

The self-talk combination of "you are perfect just the way you are" and "you could stand to be better" is healing because it's what it sounds like to have a healthy internalized Mom and Dad If you want to know why so much of life is inherently paradoxical, look for this shape

@animalologist Are there really guys out there like this? I'd never let my friend hear the end of it if any of them treated someone this way.,

@Ruesavatar Makes sense. I was just reading about how kids have a terrible memory, for events at least before the age of five, they mostly remember events their parents point out to them, but not much else. Having a preference memory makes me wonder what kinds of things they do remember.

@HistoryBoomer This is a great way to approach teaching. Love this. Learning to argue your own points is also the first step on the road to leadership.

This is silly. Some teachers are too prone to trumpeting their views, but you can't avoid opinions. I teach a class on genocide. Students ask me if I think Gaza was a genocide. Should I not answer? What if they ask if the Holocaust was a genocide? Should I say, "Well, different people have different opinions on the Holocaust, and it's not my place to offer my opinion"? Of course not! In reality land, I tell my students that the Holocaust was a genocide. (We've already spent time discussing in abstract what does and does not count as genocide.) On Gaza, I say it's my opinion that it wasn't, but many experts disagree, and it's reasonable to debate. And then we debate! I lean towards keeping my opinions to myself, but I talk about politics and history, which often involve interpretation and opinion. I always make it clear that when I offer an opinion, students are very free to disagree with me! I love debate, and I never want any of my students to feel they can't offer their own take on the world.

@HistoryBoomer You should never give your personal opinion in a teaching role.

Differential diagnosis: If you are concerned with how many followers you have and/or likes you receive, then you are hysteric. If you do not post at all, you are obsessional. If you post on social media and yet you have little to no engagement or followers, you are psychotic.
