Genocide

Men in uniform have to remember that what separates us from terrorists is our adherence to the law. Leftists, even the ones identified, cannot be killed simply bc we're ordered to. There are ROEs that we have to follow. Injustice won't end insurgency, but empathy might just do.

Math trick Ask someone to name a two-digit number. Let’s say the person calls out 13. You then write down 13 and keep writing consecutive numbers until you have 10 numbers in total: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 What’s the sum of these numbers? All you need to do is find the 5th number from the left, which is 17. Then simply put a 5 to that number to get 175—and that’s the sum! Let’s try another example. Suppose for 69. You write: 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 The 5th number from the left is 73. Put a 5 to get 735—and that’s the sum! This trick works for any positive whole number. You can even try it with three-digit numbers, like 420: 420, 421, 422, 423, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429 The 5th number from the left is 424, and appending a 5 gives 4245, which is the sum.

My mind is blown. By far best solution I’ve seen.

@Bam1of1 may really be the goat bro

You do not have unlimited time. Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue on without you.

Most people, including your family, will only respect you to the degree that you can benefit them. Love is conditional, loyalty has limits, and your value to others fluctuates with your circumstances. The people who claim to have your back will disappear when you're struggling and reappear when you're winning. Your parents' advice often reflects their fears, not your potential. Your friends will celebrate your small wins but feel threatened by your big ones. Once you accept that you're alone in this life, you stop seeking validation from people who can't give it consistently. You build your own foundation instead of standing on other people's promises. You become selective about who gets access to your time, energy, and resources. Paradoxically, when you stop needing people, the right ones show up.c

Social media gives us a perception of access to people's lives without relationship with them, so we think we know people based on what they choose to share. It's a warped view. There are a million layers to a person that will never be revealed by the posts they make.

The hardest year I’ve faced mentally

losing your spark is so weird like wtf happened to me.

Functional depression is real. You work, joke around, you show kindness, take care of people around you. But mentally you're drowning in your own thoughts but still smiling and nobody knows it

Night, night 😴

I never thought I'd appreciate privacy this much. Life is so much better without everyone's eyes on you.

Been fcking things up lately. Got to get back on track. Do better, self!

Mediocrity is the key

Mavs fans therapy session. Let it all out. This is a safe place.

The Playoffs run of the Golden State Warriors in 2022 was special

I'm always amused when people are shocked by people doing exactly what they said they’d do. Everything that has happened over the past week was publicly announced months ago. Stephen Miran, widely viewed as the architect of Trump's trade policy, published a paper "A User’s Guide to Restructuring the Global Trading System" in November of 2024, laying out everything that has happened (as well as many things that are yet to come).
