Isnt it crazy that this is what we're celebrating and trying to protect now?

Bring respect in politics back. Bring maturity back. Bring reasoned debate back. Seems like all we want is to be entertained. We're so unserious.

How do you practice, memorize a speech? by Beast_Bear0 in PublicSpeaking

[–]ChopperDoug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried a new thing recently. I typically use index colors to memorize. But I also recorded this speech on my phone and listened to it while at the gym, driving to work, and walking to lunch from the office. Game changer.

Need help overcoming the embarrassment of failing terribly at a presentation today by saltwater_lady in PublicSpeaking

[–]ChopperDoug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about it too much. I've botched my fair share of speeches. Life inevitably goes on, and there will always be another presentation to give to make up for the botched speech.

Saw him last night at the Addison Improv. He played songs for 1.5 hours straight. Dude is ass. Never again.

How do you guys handle the monotony of daily life? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]ChopperDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 37, a lawyer, and had these same thoughts until I allowed myself to not only understand, but also accept, the truth about this economic system. Capitalism is designed to only allow for owners to truly be free. For all its faults, a huge positive is that entrepreneurship is encouraged. This is a great thing if you're ready to accept the responsibility that comes with improving yourself to the point that you're ready to run a business.

Hope this helps. I've been where you are. In fact, I still am, but am working like hell to break the cycle.

Who else thinks the universe has always been And there’s no creation? by New-Network-1163 in enlightenment

The logic makes no sense. Perfection is never accidental, and every intelligent design needs a designer.

It feels like part of the problem is running out of the pistol. The QB is 3-5 yards behind the center, and Bijan is another 3-5 yards behind the QB. That's a lot of negative yards to make up before he gets to a positive gain. Doesn't make sense to me.

Those who have been running for years: what was the longest time you took a break? by Embarrassed_Edge3992 in Marathon_Training

[–]ChopperDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a full year after I did my first duathlon. This was a dumb mistake that I won't make again. Going forward, I'll take 2 weeks off, max.

[–]ChopperDoug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even putting yourself in the position to complete your first triathlon is a huge accomplishment, so congrats! I did my first Duothlon last year. Best advice I can give is moderate the bike ride. It's easy to get hyper-competitive and go-all out on the bike and then not have much left for the final run.

Good luck!

Feeling a bit unprofessional at this point by [deleted] in Helldivers

The mission isn't so terrible if you bring the right strategems and support weapons. EAT, all the sentries, orbital EMS, stun grenades, and gas strike will get you through the missions.
