@AlwaysByrnes @MattWalshBlog Show me a successful life coach

@MattWalshBlog That's why life coaching and the personal growth field took off. It makes more sense to get advice from successful people. Therapists should be able to get you to a place where you don't need them anymore.

Most therapists are worse than useless. The vast majority are liberal women who don’t possess the life experience, wisdom, or moral or intellectual foundation to offer worthwhile guidance to anyone (especially men). Most of them got into the therapy business in the first place because they have their own deep mental problems. Now they’re acting as life guides for other confused people, despite being no less confused themselves. But even in the relatively rare circumstance where a therapist isn’t a weird, dysfunctional person, still the practice of therapy presupposes that the best way to deal with your problems and “traumas” is to obsessively talk about them, which is almost always not the case. You’re better off going to the gym or going for a jog. I know this is hard for people in our culture to understand, but “talking it out” is actually not the way to solve your problems most of the time. There’s a reason why most people in therapy stay in it forever. Therapy creates repeat customers. This is intentional. It’s a symbiotic relationship. The therapist needs her clients to come back so the business is viable. The clients want to come back because they have a narcissistic desire to talk about themselves and navel gaze in lieu of actually doing anything to take charge of their own lives.

@caraksha103 You don't understand. We want you to quit. Your outrage is the point.

Dear managers, If the job can be done from a laptop, it can be done from home. Sincerely, Everyone you're calling back to the office

@WestsideLAGuy I don't know, when we look at our W2s and K1s every year, it kind of evens out. Credentialism is more of a European thing. Maybe try that over in London.

This is why it’s so important to get into an elite college. Otherwise you will spend your life seething with rage, envy, resentment. This is the core foundation of MAGA: jealous of elite institutions & success, clinging to an America that no longer exists.

@codebrewed Wait until you fly through Amsterdam.

I love how TSA rules are different at every airport and they look at you like you're a fucking idiot when you don't speak their regional dialect of security theater.

@mytechceoo At least have the decency to stay at Le Grand Chalet like I just did. You can still see Gstaad Palace.

@vrexec Never take a business call in public. Makes you seem like an attention seeking poser, which you clearly are. People working on real deals know better. Anybody could be listening.

I'm going to say something that will befuddle some Europeans, anger others, and maybe inspire a few. Today I experienced one of the starkest differences between Dutch and American culture. And though it's Dutch, I think it's broadly European. Let me explain. I had an important conference call and took it while biking to a local package pickup point. You walk in, show your code and ID, they hand you your package. Basic. Not a big deal. I wasn't being loud or obnoxious… but yes, I was on the phone. As I was leaving with my package in hand, the other clerk… not the one helping me, the one across the room who wasn't serving anyone… chimed in loudly.. “Next time, finish your call before you come in here to get your package." As an American, I was stunned. As someone who thrives on verbal confrontation, I had all sorts of comebacks flowing through my head. But I was on a call, so I just gave a “WTF?” look and kept walking. Some of you will have no reaction to this. Some will think… sure, you were being rude, and that person had every right to say something. And yes… they do have that right. But… If that happened in the US, the likelihood of that employee being fired on the spot… depending on how the customer reacted or complained… is several orders of magnitude higher than here. In this country, it is nearly impossible to fire an employee. The protections are so vast and far-reaching that workers have no fear, and no reason to check their behavior toward customers. At no point did it even occur to this person that there could be a consequence to speaking to me in that manner… "The customer is always right" does not exist in these parts. It's partly why European waiters carry the stereotype of not really caring about you. They're not working for tips, it's just a job, and firing them is nearly impossible… so where's the incentive to be nice? Funny enough, many Europeans view American retail workers as friendly to an almost weird degree. Understand the incentives and it all makes sense. Net-net, being a customer in the US is a far better experience. But there’s an even deeper issue… America celebrates the individual, and that culture trickles all the way down through business into something like at-will employment. The individual has the right to get up and leave… the owner has the right to fire on the spot. The individual is put on a pedestal. It is our nature. It is our origin story, for better or worse. The Old World is about what I call deference to the institution. The institution above the individual. It's been this way forever, and in my opinion it will never change… for reasons very similar to Zelinsky's Doctrine of First Effective Settlement. Absent a clean slate, cultures don't change even across centuries. You might say…. but Europe empowered the individual in this very story… the clerk got to speak his mind to a customer. Not true. Employees of a company or institution are agents of that institution. So what EU employment protections actually do is not strengthen the individual. They empower the agents of institutions… giving them even more leverage over the actual individual… the customer. The person walking into an establishment acting on their own agency to receive a service. They don't want a lecture from the institution. Europeans should appreciate what they have here. It's easy to complain about low wages, but it's a real trade-off… you get to talk shit to a customer, and another Dutch customer might even nod along… we're a pragmatic society, we speak our minds, we're honest with each other. Who knows which path is the correct one. From a realpolitik, hard power, and innovation perspective… and social mobility… American culture wins every time. And there is a perspective that, regardless of your feelings, your ancient cultural dispositions, or your tolerances… hard power is all that matters in the modern world. Maybe from other perspectives, the EU way wins. I don't know.

@LinkedInLunat1c She’s 100% right.

Can’t be serious with this?

@OrevaZSN Icing down Diet Coke.

I do not understand ice dispensers in hotels. I've never needed ice whilst staying at one, yet every hotel tells you where the ice machine is. Then I see people filling those little buckets. What are you all doing with the ice? Am I missing something?

@Cernovich And it never will be. They are incapable of compromise.

Israel should ask for its money back. I posted advice for free. Which was... Be nice to people who are 80% chill with Israel, stop losing your minds when someone posts anything critical, it antagonizes people against you. That advice was not followed. Oh well. Not my problem.

@piersmorgan @HKane You’re a dying museum continent without the will to protect yourselves.

England are two wins away from being crowned football World Champions in America, just days after the U.S. celebrated 250 years of kicking us out. If that doesn’t inspire @HKane and his team to glory, nothing will. Come on lads, do it for King George III.

@robhughesyyc @EuroWynner Proving my point. Canadians are weak when they should be strong and tough when it serves no purpose. A smug sense of superiority is not the same thing as happiness. Hope you figure it out someday.

@BusinessNachos @EuroWynner American identity is guns and fake money, congrats

Once knocked out I can’t wait for Americans to claim no one in their country actually cares about the World Cup after they spent 24 hours celebrating in bipartisan unison that their president actively interfered in the tournament.

@robhughesyyc @EuroWynner I’ve worked with Canadians. Your entire identity as a nation is hating us.

@BusinessNachos @EuroWynner You don’t live rent free nearly as much as you think

@robhughesyyc @EuroWynner Maybe consider having an identity that doesn’t involve comparing yourself to us every five minutes.

@EuroWynner Match was 15 minutes from over when he posted, country of low rent grifters

@favo_rion @Holtamania The internet isn’t real life. Most Americans haven’t said a word - because it’s a boring game for children who like to run.

@BusinessNachos @Holtamania yea, and no one is asking you to care. no one was looking for tge opinions from russian or qataris back in 18 and 22 even more so from this whole red card situation, football fans genuinely just want americans who dont know a thing to shut the fuck up

Every single American take is worse than the last.

@Rancune_eth Stop indulging the fantasy that we’ll ever care about soccer.

Worst part of the World Cup is that it somehow led to casual Americans thinking they have a relevant opinion on football

@UrbanExplorer00 No, the difference is you care and we don’t. You are far more invested in this than we’ll ever be.

Difference between us and the Yanks is we can accept a VAR red card like adults without pretending to be victims or claimibg that it wasn't the right decision when it was

@BNHWalker And how many would that be exactly? Most Americans barely even know the World Cup is happening. I tried watching a match and it was just people running and almost scoring. So boring. To each their own, but I think your “so many Americans” is maybe 100 people.

Astounding how so many Americans are blinkered about this

@nietezzz @EuroWynner For everything.

@nomadicbolton Who’s yapping? The same 10 twitter accounts engagement farming? I can assure you 90% of Americans have no idea any of this even happened. We live our lives. You spend half of yours comparing yourselves to us while we don’t think about you at all.

Knew coming into this that Americans are insufferable ignorant big mouthed dicks, but the level of it has been unprecedented, everybody pray for a Belgium win, to shut the annoying yapping morons up. Stick to games that only you play, you might win something. Franchised fuckwits
