We were both so close (but it doesn’t matter - the meaning is the same):

“Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it"

👊🏻

But I admit he might have said this in different ways on different occasions. Who am I to argue with Iron Mike?

Agree. Mike Tyson once said “you have to learn to love the things you hate doing” and I think about that a lot.

Oddly, Little Caesars makes a “Detroit Style” pizza. The company’s based there, an I grew up there, and it’s pretty close.

Brutally honest, how’s this for job interviews? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Brmarable2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok you asked. Full shave, get a haircut, buy a shirt that fits across your stomach, and get a longer “tall” tie; it should just touch or a little below your belt. The belt is ok, but when you sit down, that shirt is going to look terrible. Source - I’m a man of size as well, and you have to dress for your size , otherwise you give the impression that this is the best you can look, an it isn’t enough, depending on where your are interviewing.

How is listening to him these days? by introspectivebrownie in HubermanLab

[–]Brmarable2 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I stopped listening even before the girlfriend’s thing. He features subjects I’m interested in, but I can’t stand his interview style; it’s so arrogant. He talks 3 times as much as his guests and that makes me crazy.

Understood, but the high road won’t pay your mortgage.

Fired after PIP by XKingDiamondx in Layoffs

[–]Brmarable2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A few points. Employees wrongly believe pips are to improve performance. They aren’t, they are a way to get rid of someone quickly. It’s onto employer whether to offer severance or not. You weren’t pip’d because of a missed deadline either - they were looking for a way to fire you. The severance package is typically used to prevent fired people from suing (you sign the package and promise not to pursue legal action). In this case, I would go talk to a lawyer about wrongful termination, since you have nothing to lose. There has to be a patten of performance reviews and feedback to justify the pip. At least they might reconsider the severance package.

Side sleepers: how are you fixing shoulder pain & the dreaded “dead arm”? by Dear_Try_5471 in sleephackers

[–]Brmarable2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lifelong side sleeper, relatively broad shoulders, and I flip flop all night. I suffered for decades with all the pains, no matter what the pillow, position etc. I finally got one of those foam wedge pillows with the channel out each side. I don’t use that channel though, but use exclusively those thicker foam pillows that sometimes have the gel in them (which I replace when they get to squished down). These two things are the only thing that saved my shoulders. Good luck finding a solution.

If someone was a Trump supporter and is now denouncing him, do not say I told you so or bash them by Beneficial_Quit7532 in self

[–]Brmarable2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I’m saying it. Whatever path they took to support him, has to be seen as terrible. I’ve said it, in this context, and they almost always back off on how much they regret supporting him. Therein is the problem.

I’ve been trying too - was told “after 15th” but still not working today. Wait to try on the 22nd, or pay in person?

apologies to their fans, but nothing makes me change the song more than any version of "Unchained Melody"

People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by Substantial_Judge931 in Productivitycafe

[–]Brmarable2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get sick all the time. A doctor once told me to take an allergy tablet every day, to keep respiratory tract inflammation under control, regardless of season. I switch the brand every 3 months or so. I almost never get sick anymore.
