The core question of identity is not who others think you should be. It's who you aspire to be. 70 studies: Mental health depends more on living up to your ideals than to others' expectations. Closing the gap between your actions and your values is a source of well-being.

I use this Simpsons quote more than any other. Any time anyone says they'll do something in a minute (or mentions taking a plane), I automatically say this. I can't help myself. What Simpsons quote do you feel compelled to reply with the most?

@Joshstrangehill Constantly during any election cycle these day: “it’s a 2-party system. You have to vote for one of us” “go ahead- throw your vote away!”

@Joshstrangehill Me: “Doctor said I might have dain bramage”. My kids: the spider pig song

This moss covered boot found in the woods.

Turns out global warming wasn’t caused by carbon-it’s because my kids constantly leave the door open on cold days

@JAEbberts The 3-fingered middle finger 😂

Turns out Mormon Twitter was a test all along. You will now be assigned to one of three social media kingdoms based on how you treated others during your time here. Deznats and rude exmos will be assigned to the lowest kingdom, which is Reddit and Tik Tok respectively (1/)

Recently had a debate around the question: what is a sport? Growing up ppl would debate if chess is a sport, while others still debate if golf is. And now games are esports! We came to a definition I like, but I'm curious to hear other ppl's take. What makes something a sport?

@interest_mild I’ll take one of each please

You mean to tell me that there are people that can listen to music without singing along with it? Freaks

@Mormonger Also, JSH 1:73-74 is very visible example of the blessings of covenants #p73" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptur…

@Mormonger We like to think judgement is good deeds>bad deeds or our righteousness >average righteousness. Really, much given=much required or less=less. We are judged on what we do with what we are given. Covenants are critical to outperform our natural self

@thesamparr @ShaanVP Get us all on board on the next pod

So @ShaanVP has tried to hype me on all types of different new industries and movements (example: crypto). I've never fully bought in to any of them. Yesterday, he made his argument for AI. Its the first time I'm 100% on board with him. The industry totally wows me.
