Too much of the liberals/left believe that if everyone can’t do something, you shouldn’t be able to, either.
And to that have a simple yet effective riposte: fuck all y’all, I do what I want.

Extend
Think about the below as you’re exercising.
Longer life and longer health; every minute you work out extends your life (on average of course) 5-9 minutes and your healthy years perhaps even more than that. Also, people treat you vastly better when you’re fitter. Fair or not, ethical or not, it’s true. I’ve had a cute airline staff girl offer to walk me to my gate that I could see clearly from where I was standing, and a DMV woman who spent a long time on the phone on my behalf and waived all my fees because she thought I was hot.
None of that ever would’ve happened before I worked out and got super fit.
Also, and this matters more to me than any of that, it’s worth it to be the best version of myself I can be for me and just as importantly, for my partner. Why reach for mediocrity when you could instead reach for greatness? Why be a formless lump when you could be as a god?
Dream big, strive hard, do amazing things. It’s worth it and so much better than the alternative.
Knack
I’m so good at troubleshooting sometimes I even amaze myself.
What Wins
Unfortunately, jobs like technical writers, editors, proofreaders are becoming useless.
The commenter in the image above is correct. MBAs don’t care that it’s good. They care that it’s cheap. No matter what any of you think or your most impassioned pleas, that will win the day. Or lose, depending on your perspective.
Hoa No Goa
This is exactly why I refuse to live anywhere with a HOA.
RAM High
Really glad I bought 128GB of RAM when it was at its very lowest and a separate machine with 128GB of memory in it as well.
That was good timing given mem prices now. The 128GB of RAM sticks would cost 5.5x as much now.
Drug Information
Stopping obesity drugs means people regain weight and lose heart health benefits.
Surprise! When you stop taking a drug it stops working!
Who the fuck could have ever guessed. I mean, that’s unprecedented.
Hacker Brain Lacker
It’s unusual that there is one person in this Hacker News comments thread who actually understands how housing market pricing works.
Typically, there is no one. Observationist is correct. Institutional investors deliberately act as market makers because they have more analysis, more money, more ability to hold, and greater resources in general. In the housing market — which is small-volume and illiquid with high transactions costs — this matters a lot.
Literally every other person in the entire comments has zero idea how pricing in the housing market functions nor how institutional investors can and do manipulate it despite purchasing a relatively-small percentage of available stock.
I’m always surprised by how fucking dumb the “smart” people at places like Hacker News in fact are.
