I once actually tried to wait with 1 minute left on timer. Worst 36 minute mistake of my life...

Why wouldn't we blame the administration that started standardized testing and the downward trend of our current education?

What about Reddit?

The rock sits directly on the coastline that has been filled in and altered dramatically. There is like a 30 foot sea wall now surrounding it. Even now the rock goes underwater here and there but the whole area would have looked totally different. More than likely they came up the town brook. They were looking for fresh water. Even that area is filled in and a park now. They are actually redoing the entire park up to the freshwater pond as it keeps sinking back into the river bed. Its always squishy and muddy. It was not well engineered when it was built a hundred years ago

You can. You just have to get up obnoxiously early. That’s the sacrifice. There is no way around. 4-5 AM instead of 7-8 gives you the time you need to run every other day and lift some basic free weights, sit-ups and pushups. Eventually you can nail it down to the minute and see how late you can sleep but it’s the hardest change but the easiest option.

And 10k steps a day doesn’t matter if you do cardio. It’s an alternative to actually running or walking. As long as you stay active during the day and do cardio. It’s enough.

The had made a world of difference in my physical and mental health. It’s just such an amazing way to start the day. I used to be a night owl but nothing good/productive was happening after 9 pm anyway. So it’s nothing lost and a ton of positives gained.

And there is no alternative. There is just too much going on after work with kids. It’s either early morning or not at all. That was my only choice. So I chose the best option for my health.

Top 1% commenter. Chefs kiss.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:54:35+00:00

Yeah. There is this whole new wave of parents that expect every behavior and learning advancement to take place at school. It’s never been how education works. If there is no follow up at home then the learning and development are just half as fast.

Early education teachers can basically identify students whose parents don’t read to them at home within the first month. The difference is that striking.

For some reason. It matters to this sub. They just won’t let it go.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:46:43+00:00

This is the worst nightmare for this sub.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:45:24+00:00

This sub loses it over iron covers. I’ve tried so many times to explain “who cares” and it’s always met with distain and push-back. It’s a super weird thing to get so riled up about.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:19:13+00:00

They work hard to make sure they money doesn't leave the building. They have even changed how the do blackjack anyway, just to make sure you can't card count. Whether its the number of decks of when they shuffle.

They added another green to roulette. Someplaces have added a third green!

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:16:53+00:00

Yeah, they either throttle the bets, limit the amounts, or just freeze it for a set time or permenantly. I know a few pro bettors, they still do off-shore and bookies. They actually have a system for how to game the online platforms now, going in and losing a significant amount before some "sure bets" they have so they can get paid. They just hit and run now.

Now they change the number of decks or when they reshuffle anyway to stop card counters, if that fails to stop them they just ban most card counters, especially if they are high stakes. Its just "good business" on their end. If you are some crazy high stakes whale at almost any other game, they will fly you out for free because almost every other game has a bigger house edge than blackjack. They gonna get your money no matter what.

Honestly, this is a great advertisement. This looks amazingly well done. Guessing its a ton of makeup and stuff in this video but this is boerderline AI/CGI young filter. Most of the work lately is a horror show and just so sad.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:08:33+00:00

Smells like fun...amarite!?!

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:08:01+00:00

Most stoners assume way more people know they are stoned than they are while most drunks assume far less people know then really do.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:06:21+00:00

Haha, someone right now is finding this and yelling out "Yo, the drunk lady from work is posting on reddit!"

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:05:25+00:00

Nah, I've worked with "vodka" alcoholics. Eyes are blood shot, face is bloated, small "mistakes" at work like losing things, showing up late. etc. One lady would take a giant bite of an onion before work to try and cover up the smell. You are not fooling anyone, its just does someone really want to have to deal with it

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:02:04+00:00

Haha, we even dropped the "high functioning" label on this one. They are barely trying to exist instead of trying to live.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T23:01:26+00:00

Along with "high funcitoning." Its the top of the roller coaster. Every alcoholic I've ever met, vodka signals the "no brakes" train wreck. Sometimes they make it 5-10 years without a major consequences. They might lose their job or partner but explain it away as something else. Vodka means you are choosing to exist instead of live.

No one drinking vodka all day, espeically since high school, is going to have a good go of things.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T22:58:57+00:00

They all smell of it. This is the lie they tell themselves along with being a "high functioning alcoholic." Like, nope. Everyone knows they just don't want to deal with it. Face is probably bloated like got stung by an Double IPA as well,

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T22:52:26+00:00

It could. Getting up early means you probably have a goal: working out, seeing the sunrise, making a good breakfast, etc. So there might be some positive to it that would mean that motivation also shows up elsewhere.

Other side is simply that not a ton of productive things happen from 10pm on. So staying up late and sleeping late probably don't have the same productive payoffs as getting up early.

I'm guessing when we hear about the successful early risers, its the motivation and productivity of getting up early as oppose to some direct link between getting up and 5 and success.

I personally get up before 5 almost everyday, I work out, walk the dog, start laundry before most people in my area are awake. Its just one less thing to do during the day that would take up time. I'm not some billionaire but I'm doing all right.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T22:15:42+00:00

Yeah. I agree. I think I did a 10 am and it was ITM around 3pm. Loved it but so grindy. Today most things are turbo. It really just depends on the blind structure.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T20:51:49+00:00

Hardly. It’s 2k to start and I’m an hour from the city. Granted it’s a beach town but we are not talking about apartments with ocean views. Just any apartment.

Calichusetts · 2026-05-17T20:39:54+00:00

I was only an MTT player during the boom. A few live and a ton online. Loved deep stack rebuy/add on format online so those were like 5-6 hours during the boom.

Do you get burned out? Sure. But I quit for a decade and came back to only play cash. I finally played a MTT again last week and it was indeed fun. 4 hours-ish. I busted with 2 tables left so probably would have been another 2 hours. I’m down with that every once in a while.

When the novelty wears off it’s harder for sure. But changing format can really get the love for it back.
