I am not smug about it but I’ve been taking better care of myself for around 10 years and it’s grrrreat.

The healthy people were right.

I saw some photos of myself dancing at a friends wedding and did NOT LIKE what I saw. Pure vanity.

I got a personal trainer and set some very silly stunt goals - I knew I didn’t want to focus on how I look, but focus on being the kind of person who could do interesting things and that would have a side effect that looked good. It worked! Plus I learned how to do cool things with my body.

Sometimes being hungover or eating huge meals interfered with my quest to do a pistol squat or a one arm push up or run a race. So I moderated that and hit my goals.

Now my baseline is fairly healthy. So when I go out until 4 with people my body is able to handle it better. I still pay, but I understand the trade off and it isn’t something that happens to me it’s something I chose.

Therapy came in when I was extremely stressed. I avoided it for so long and it was dumb. It’s good to talk to people about your life and challenges. Coaches help players.

My sleep used to be very bad. But I want to do a one arm pull up this year. My body needs rest to get strong enough. So I gotta plan to sleep! I have to give up some other choices to get what I want.

Sure, but they don’t play jungle music. They also probably suffer because there are other bands called Jungle.

But I love them the best and hope you enjoy listening to them.

I can’t stop listening to these two freaks from Belgium called La Jungle.

Super high intensity fun fast jams

I don’t understand why they aren’t huge

I’ll say that the Power Broker by Robert Caro is one the longest and the absolute best books I’ve ever read. Absolutely incredible text, research, structure and topic. How power actually worked for one of the most significant single shapers of the current state of NYC and to some extent the rest of America

Parasite Rex changed how I think about a lot of systems. Really mind expanding

I stuffed the rag in and it worked fine. Leaves a trail of fire but you don’t have to worry about the rag slipping off!

The original no longer works, but this is a remaster of what I think you are referring to. m.webtoons.com/en/horang/episode/page?titleNo=218…

I damn near ran out of the room first time I saw this.

It’s so hard to understand! Like it seems so obviously gross. But why is it ALL OVER THE PLACE‽

Is there something in the kind of brain that makes you take artistic risks that allows you to more easily think of people as things?

I think this is probably one of the most insightful comments.

Like, there is probably darkness in everyone. And I think I would be a good person with power but maybe it would be just as damaging for me and make my darkness rise too.

Still, fuck this shit and it’s good to be angry at people for treating vulnerable people like things.

This broke my damn heart. His work seemed to have the values I hold dear and be so insightful and then… he’s getting in the bath with girls who depend on him for housing.

I am thinking that power corrupts. I came up with that but you can use that phrase if you want.
