I get it. Hundreds of Beavers is not for everyone.

The key to cardio is finding something to do while you’re doing cardio to keep your mind off cardio (like watching movies on a cardio machine or enjoying nature while outside or whatever)

A century ago, white nationalists were saying the exact same things about Rep. Rulli's Italian ancestors -- they weren't white, they were criminals, they could never assimilate to "our" country

Cutting money that provides food and health care but spending $300 million to permanently deploy the military to the streets of the capital in times of peace is tinpot dictator stuff

IMO the most telling part of the Katz interview is this: he defines populism as being willing to name names and attack the people who take power and use it to hurt people, then complains that Democrats talk too much about Donald Trump

Platner announced well before Mills! In fact, the Platner ppl (including Sanders!) got publicly angry that Mills was gonna run and said Platner **shouldnt have to face a primary**!

I think the downside risk of missing out on both $1m and $50k is real (emotional distress at missing out). On the other hand it seems like a lot of much higher risk/lower upside grindset culture/online gambling/crypto speculation stuff is very popular (at least amongst young men).
