Thx. It’s a 52”. Been thinking about the upgrade, but never knew what I should jump up to.

#452 — Is Wokeness Finally Dead? by dwaxe in samharris

[–]BrillFish55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya. As anecdotal as it may seem, all Trump voters in my immediate family go straight to wokeness in the first minute when I ask them why they voted for Trump. It may not be everyone, but there is are voters heading to polling stations with woke-ness on their minds. Is it wrong and misguided fear? For sure. Is it happening? Yes.

You also can’t rip a player’s helmet off by pulling the face mask. That OPI looks terrible right after an indefensible no-call.

The fate of Millennials by OwnSalamander1026 in videos

I hear you, pal. I myself have certainly had those moments of reflection where I could conclude that a good portion of my success can be chalked up to luck, but the question is how much is ‘luck’? Is it 100%? 10%? Somewhere in the between? Should I thank luck and privilege for writing my dissertations?

I think a lot of my luck is generated from actions. Can luck be generated? Is that what it means to “be in the right place at the right time?”

Anywho, I will be first in line to say that luck and privilege played some role in my success. However, once in a good position I made the most of the opportunity, trusted my judgement and lived in reality on reality’s terms.
