My biggest regret in life is not putting 405 on the bar instead of 400 on this day back in 2015.

To be honest, I am in a huge dilemma trying to convince my Dad to not undergo chemotherapy while all doctors (whom he seems to still trust) are suggesting and pressuring him If you were in my shoes, what would you do? And some of you have been in my shoes, so what did you do?

I’ve been thinking about this whole idea of social platforms showing users’ locations, especially if it updates automatically when you travel and tbh something about it feels off. Maybe it’s just me, but it comes across… Palantir-esque? In the sense that you’re basically giving the entire world (and any government agency that fancies a look) a free, real time feed of your movements. And what concerns me most is everyone who can literally read that data. Real time or dynamic location reveals so sooo so much more than people realise: • where you are right now • where you were yesterday • how long you stayed somewhere • your everyday patterns: home, work, routine • when you leave the country • when you return • and even who you might be meeting if your locations overlap Combine that with timestamps, interactions, replies and the general map of “who talks to whom,” and suddenly you’ve created a public, open source timeline of someone’s life. So that’s interesting. And that’s a gift for all sorts of institutions: • tax authorities checking residency days • immigration systems looking at travel patterns • law enforcement doing OSINT or whatever checks • governments building data profiles • private companies crunching it all for who knows what • random hostile actors who love connecting dots Companies already do a frightening amount with far less data. Now imagine giving them a live “location status” on top of everything else. Then there’s the freedom of speech issue I’d like to mention. People travel, right, sometimes to places with very different laws to their home country. If your profile suddenly says you’re in a country with restrictive speech laws, whilst you’ve got a public history of saying bold or controversial things, that’s uhh… not ideal. To me, personal freedom is everything. Your location is one of the most sensitive bits of information you can share. Once it’s public (esp on a platform used by politicians, journalists, scientists, idk investors and everyday people, by everyone) it’s out there for anyone: friends, strangers, governments, whoever wants to make use of it. And that’s what feels risky. In a very “this is a lot of personal information to hand over for free” (Big Brother?) sort of way. We should absolutely have the choice to share what we want, when we want. And real time location feels like something that should never be public by default imho

What’s the most hated exercise everyone should be doing? I’ll start: Bulgarian Split Squats.

Your body is the ultimate customizable character. I’m living proof: As a teenager I lost 1+ YEAR of my life (/played time) into WoW Had multiple chins, fat rolls, a debilitating stutter...zero real-life stats. Then I realized: you can actually level up YOURSELF in real life. Closed the game, hit the gym, and put my heart into it. Taught myself to enjoy the struggle. 17 years later, no one believes me when I tell them who I used to be. “The resistance that you fight physically in the gym and the resistance that you fight in life can only be conquered by one thing: discipline.” — Arnold Schwarzenegger

Be careful with your Bulgarian squat setup, don’t be stupid like me. Set was planned for 10+ reps. Rear foot pad slipped back on rep 3. I should’ve stopped, but didn’t. Pulled the side of my left leg on rep 5 (probably IT band or vastus lateralis). Nothing major but it wasn't smart.

Thanks Stefan! & thanks to everyone else so eagerly discussing the health of my eggs. Citizen science is alive and well! 🪺 I have a microscope & a DPhil in biology. If you provide a sperm sample, I’m happy to let you know how many defective little swimmers you are producing.😊
Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA@StefanMolyneux

Congratulations Juliet, this is also a lovely picture! I can’t speak for others, but I do have mixed feelings. If you follow an academic career, you will be unlikely to ever have or raise children - thus billions of years of evolution and suffering ends with you and your thesis

Dear clients, design isn’t meant to please you, it’s meant to communicate effectively with the people you want to reach. If a designer explains why red is the perfect color for your brand, don’t tell him/her that you prefer blue because it’s your favorite color. It’s like visiting a doctor for having Malaria and then asking the doctor to prescribe vitamin C for you because you like the taste. 🤦🏽

Endurance guys who haven’t broken 4 hours in the marathon: You have no business doing Z2 runs faster than 9:30/mile Your goals in training should be to make running easier and less taxing on your body … not doing 8:30 miles to look descent on Strava
