People have been asking about how I went from hardcore atheist to Christian so I wrote up my "testimony". If you're been on the edge of religion, but don't see how you could ever really believe. I was right there, it seemed impossible to me to suspend disbelief, but it turns out

What I like about the wifejack meme is it's almost never used in a derogatory way, she just says stuff wives say without comment if the thing is good or bad, just is. That's what's confusing the women.

Do men realize the psychic damage they've unleashed. Every woman on Twitter is over-analyzing these, trying to figure out if they pattern match this woman, stressing over whether that's good or bad

I love telling people I'm chewing nicotine gum, but never smoked cigarettes. You can see the wheels turn in their mind, then they'll always ask what nictone does and I'll explain it helps you focus at the cost of an addiction and they look at me like a complete degenerate.

Why is it, that when the task is manual labor: something you can complete with your whole body like digging a hole, it's so easy to not procrastinate.? But when it's working through a problem in a spreadsheet or writing a document the mind reels. An asymmetry there.

I bought a $10 bag of garlic locally, not because it’s cheaper. But because I can afford it and I want to fund the guy who grows it. This guy is always tinkering and creating things: saw mills, rc lawnmowers, brewing beer, etc. You can’t boil that down to a single transaction.

It takes time to increase energy so if you work out 30min a day, plus 30 min recovery, your energy level in the remaining 17 waking hours needs to go up by at least 100*(18/17 - 1) = 5.88% to make it worthwhile. It’s a scam. Most patterns of working out don’t pay off 🤬
