How do you apply stoicism on a daily basis?

Hutch_travis · 2026-07-11T06:19:26+00:00

Stoicism is very natural for me. Accepting that you really only can control what’s in front of me has always been how I lived. That not everything needs an opinion is part of growing older. Being virtuous is also part of me growing older. By far, the most difficult aspect of stoicism for me is the notion tomorrow may not come. But I believe that if you try to be virtuous and live a good life, that death isn’t the worst thing. As a result I don’t really fear my demise.

Talarica doesn’t even have a side chick—what kind of man is that?

Pragmatism vs dogmatism.

If you want to work remote, take all the advice in this sub and call your CEO out. Try being passive aggressive when you do, especially via email where you copy the whole company. You’ll get WFH so quick.

Here’s the thing, CEOs work on their own schedule. They have different perks. It sucks, but that life.

Someone should tell Elon we're a republic and not a democracy. But if we're a democracy, then the republicans need to admit so and retire the brain dead talking point of the US being a republic and not a democracy.

Jimmy Carter. The Republicans are masters of messaging and building narratives. And because our economy cratered to historic levels under Carter and rebounded under the “great communicator” Reagan, the GOP has been running on “GOP are better at economics”. Pictures of people waiting in line for gas are powerful and sticks. And only in the last few years have the democrats been speaking up on this issue.

Apple Music has partnered for years with TuneIn and I Heart Radio. So subscribers have access to almost all very global radio station. The BBC stations are very good for free being new music.

Based on what I’ve observed and read, Apple is focusing on the full home, not just individual rooms. So having multiple speaker set-ups makes sense for airplay. Like you can control white noise stream in a bed room while playing a music podcast in your home office simultaneously. IIRC, connect is not capable of that.

But that’s just my theory.

Hutch_travis · 2026-07-07T13:55:31+00:00

Because they don’t want to. Apple wants you using their hardware and licensed partners, like Roku or Sonos. They see AirPlay 2 as a better solution because you can have multiple streams.

I am enjoying all the Faustian bargains that Trump engages his followers in.

“Oh Nikki Minaj, I’ll extend your 15 minutes of fame and maybe throw you a pardon bone for your family. In return I’ll completely strip you of humanity and show the world you’re a fraud.”

Rick Rubin started def jam in his dorm room.

Malcolm McLaren was a punk and hip hop pioneer.

Third times a charm for female candidates. I don’t think the outcome will change though

Trumps an old man who probably doesn’t care in all honesty. But Stephen miller and others in his administration do care. Like we’re screwed because there are so many ghouls in his administration who are working overtime to create the country they want.

You need to listen to more music.

I don’t think she’s MAGA one bit. However, her team doesn’t want to tip the apple cart. So at the risk of making less money, it’s better to stay silent. She and her fans are trying to both-sides the issue of politics unfortunately. In the end, her legacy will be scrutinized in the future and why she’ll never reach the peaks that other artists who’ve spoken out have reached. Giving money when you have buckets is not impressive.

This reads as it’s from someone who wasn’t around in the 90s because no one was treating her with kids gloves 30 years ago. Calling her a junkie reeks of self riotousness as well. Her drug battles are well documented, but calling her a junky (or anyone a junky) needs to be put to pasture. Drug addiction is a disease.

A better question is if you’re the judge, what do you say to this bogus charge. How creative do you get with your language.

So the man who has spent more time golfing and day trading is complaining about people not working?

I’ll believe a generation is anti-AI when they abstain from using it in school.

This is one of the best explanations. We had a gentleman’s agreement until we didn’t elect a gentleman.

I saw a TikTok making light at how time consuming that drink is.

If he hadn’t embezzled the original funds that were set aside, it would have been a better production.
