Ruben Bolling 🪲Things just seem so crazy today.
I mean, can you imagine say in the 1930s if the richest automobile executive in America was also a media owner who used his platform to encourage anti-Semitism and allied himself with a foreign dictator waging a territory-expansion war in Europe?

Emily BellAnother amazing match in the #worldcup . Brilliant effort by #Morocco - the first African team to make it to a WC semi final . Ronaldo , walks straight off the pitch by himself in tears, not congratulating the opposition or consoling the younger players or other team mates for whom it is the last chance too. Or thanking the fans. Understandable? Maybe. Graceless nonetheless
@lcamtuf also called the Dunning-Kruger effect, it is actually a thing as you may know. Check out: https://www.britannica.com/science/Dunning-Kruger-effect

Dunning-Kruger effect, in psychology, a cognitive bias whereby people with limited knowledge or competence in a given intellectual or social domain greatly overestimate their own knowledge or competence in that domain relative to objective criteria or to the performance of their peers or of people in general.
@StevenBeschloss right on! Several people I have talked to post 2016 election, have sheepishly confessed either: "I thought he did not have a snowball's chance in hell, and so did not go to vote" (WHAT...?); and even worse, "I thought he couldn't be that bad, and thought a change would shake things up" (!?!?) -- I am gobsmacked by how some people do not understand how fragile any democracies are if people don't think deep and serious about forces that actively want to subvert the process.
Steven BeschlossWhen I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.
Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

@conradhackett Thank you!!! FYI, growing up I always wondered how Sweden looked almost the same size as India when I looked at maps!
@spacebuffer, not sure how sophisticated you want your workout tracker. I have used "Simple Workout Log" for a few years, find it flexible and it is a mobile / web-based system, though basic. You can find it at: www.simpleworkoutlog.com. Hope this is helpful.
