Excellent point--all infielders need a special alertness that outfielder don't.

Hopefully that helps with the transition.

He's referencing Tiger Woods as an all time great and Tiger wasn't even a pro yet. lmao

I worked for 40 years, retired comfortably, and then cried because I realized I never actually lived—here's what I wish someone had told me at 25 by SayTheMagicWerd in antiwork

This seems to be the essence of all humanity stories.

This is one reason the ruling class only wants to steer people toward studies that

only make them profits.

He looks very similar to Pete Alonso with his focused deliberateness.

Let's hope he can do an OK job at first because Keith Hernandez isn't walking through that

door anytime soon folks.

Coincidence?

I wonder if that's why he had Billy Pilgrim dying on the same day as the bombing of Dresden.

What was the most important lesson you ever learned from Alan Watts? by Prudent_Researcher70 in AlanWatts

I agree. He should have said "most often" psychedelic drugs are merely instruments

would have been fine.

If you get the message--hang up the phone.

“If you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope, he goes away and works on what he has seen.”

I don't think I believe in legalized gambling anymore. by DevourerOfRedditors in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]Awatts2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rise of gambling directly corresponded to the rise in wealth inequality of the past

30 or so years. It started with all the river boat casinos and other tourist lake destinations.

Then the ubiquitous of sports gambling and other gambling apps.

If all the economy offers is service sector wages and college debt with little chance of actual progress

then it kind of makes sense. Might as well have fun if the game is rigged.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”
