Guys, the ONLY two choices are to train for powerlifting until you break or train for pure aesthetics to impress other dudes. Absolutely no other choices or anything in between.

@SaysSimulation I grew up on the river myself. Between Kentucky and Ohio.

@3rdGenVol My mother was from a town on the Ohio river, so that fundamentally changes my regional view.
While from the north bank of the river, she considered herself Southern. Which was the norm in the area.

On a state-level basis, this is how I would break out the four distinct main cultures of the Midwest & South. The Upland South is the bridge between the Deep South & Lower Midwest, even as the Lower Midwest is the bridge between the Upland South and the Upper Midwest.

Interesting thread, worth reading. I believe the whole North/South thing is simplistic and creates an artificial hard split. Imo, it's really 4 cultures in a gradient: Deep South to Upland South to Lower Midwest to Upper Midwest. Or, 3 ways, with Greater Appalachia merging 1/

This is my view of what the "Heartland" is, on a state-level basis.
If we go to counties, we should likely add in eastern California, Oregon & Washington, as well as western Pennsylvania, New York & Maryland.

@3rdGenVol @BowTiedBull Nah, you should strive to be a millionaire when you get your first paying gig. It is a ton easier to be a millionaire when you start at 22 versus 32. That extra 10 years sets you up with good habits as well as time to build.
It isn't rocket science.

The main issue is most millionaires are really boring people
Gotta be careful because you want to make it and actually live life as well

A team at Dave Ramsey's company conducted the largest study on millionaires ever. The results are not what you would expect: • Most millionaires were in their +40s with paid off Personal Homes • Most millionaires contributed to their 401k plans • Most millionaires shared a bank account with their partner • Most millionaires on average made less than $100,000 yearly • Most millionaires never took a business loan • Most millionaires are self-made It isn't easy, but being a millionaire is well in reach for many people.

@shannonswyatt @BowTiedBull You should strive to be a millionaire in your early 30s, if not, you will never hit exit velocity

@3rdGenVol @BowTiedBull Tell that to the goobers in their 50's and 60s that haven't saved a penny for their retirement because of things.
Worked in tech my entire career, most of my coworkers were brilliant, and made more than me (I worked at a small remote facility). They are still working, not me.

@SaysSimulation One thing we can say definitively is that any southerner using the borders of the confederacy as a modern regional identity is being obtuse

state secession@state_secession
Northerners have exactly the same opinion as Southerners on whether the "Confederate flag" is a symbol of A) Southern pride or B) racism, according to this poll of 5800 people The deep divide is between the Left & Right, not between The South & North, even on Southern symbols!

Black Line: The South

Fuentes suggestion that people mad at Republicans should vote Democrat is idiotic.
If you’re mad at the cops, you don’t vote for the criminals.
You hire different cops.

There are only two REAL Entrepreneurial/Business Success factors
1) Family Wealth (Cash, Coaching, Connections) for start up and bail out during the inevitable fuck ups
2) Extreme Luck (Right Place-Right Time)
Universal law no matter your age, country, or industry

I think one crucial role for a wife is to believe in her husband even at times where he doesn’t believe in himself. Women don’t often know how meaningful this is to men.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but both strength and the other physical adaptations acquired while getting strong via barbell training, are useful outside the context of fistfights.
English
@BowTiedBull Besides the question is never about where you are right now. That’s too context dependent. It’s where you can get to in the next interval of your life.
English
@BowTiedBull By that exact standard, 800 people in the room must cope with their reality. The fact a 32 year old guy isn’t getting abused by the system and has an entry level of financial independence is actually “good.”
English
Lots of cope yesterday, if you’re in a room of 1000 people and you’re the 400th person (399 people better)
That is not “doing good”
Good is probably 200th (80th percentile) which is “good”
Use average for net worth not median as benchmark. Not complicated.
