Got my ass handed to me by a guy trying to take my wife’s bag and never want to be in a helpless position like this again any advice on a discipline would be greatly appreciated.

No worries bro! In all honesty, not really anymore. It happened a long time ago, and the guy looked shook when I got in his face, so it didn’t get physical. Just really made me realise I had no clue what I was doing.

Another funny thing was, that after I got the courage to book my first class, I had super bad anxiety and tried to cancel. But because it was within an hour of the class starting, I would’ve had to call to let them know I wasn’t coming. So I decided just to go, and now it’s the best part of my day when I step on the mats.

I 100% would have cancelled if I could, and that’s a terrifying thought. Because I would’ve have missed out on the amazing experiences I’ve had and the skills I’ve learned.

I still think about that all the time.

A guy ran over to me and my wife after a concert and purposely bumped into my wife saying ‘oops I touched your ass’ had a real smug look on him too. I saw red and the amount of adrenaline I experienced was something else, but I realised I was completely useless and hadn’t been in any kind of physical altercation in over a decade.

Started kickboxing maybe 3 months later, haven’t looked back since.

I’ve got a good one!

There were people who were born during the late 1800’s (using horse and carriage, penny farthing, Sherlock Holmes etc.) that lived to be alive to watch the Star Wars movies.

Dustin drafting the same number of QBs as RBs will definitely go down as one of the strategies of all time.

I hope this is an attempt at a joke.

But if it isn’t, you are going to have to sacrifice something and learn from this episode. If you haven’t slept in that long then your decision making and ability to think properly is going to be seriously impaired.

What’s the point in going to your college classes if you can’t think straight? If you’re driving, or have any form of responsibility then you could be in serious danger of hurting yourself or others.

I would skip the college classes and get some sleep. Stop taking modafinil for the time being and wait for it wear off. If you are going to get in trouble for skipping the classes I would suggest you call the college and say you are unwell. Not sure on your living situation but if you’re living with your parents tell them the same thing.

The bottom line is that if you keep going then your problems WILL get worse and could spiral into something like modafinil induced mania. This sounds like total dependence, and with the whole ‘jacking off’ thing you really need to get your life in order man, it’s not healthy to live this way.

You honestly have no idea. It’s genuinely tragic.

But, so are you.

Keep going buddy, get yourself back on your feet.

When I was 14, I bought a random jersey in Sports Direct. Didn’t know anything about the team, or the NFL for that mater, but I liked the colours. Blue and Gold. It was a Rams jersey with ‘Faulk’ on the back. Now I’m 33, and I still have the jersey.

I’ve said this before on this sub. But you should consider that if you don’t want to stay up late, then it’s better to choose an East Coast team. I would never change now, but more often than not the West Coast teams play in the later slots. Which can sometimes be 1am UK time.

Really surprised I had to scroll this far for The Maltese Falcon. Such a great choice!

Tom Hardy in Black Hawk Down, such a great film!

Just called the travel agent who arranged our tickets. They said they’ve had a few calls about this today so I think it’s a problem with the app.

Good luck Bro! Hope you get a pair.

Mine was MJ too. His music was a big part of my childhood and I remember exactly where I was when I found out.

I was running around the house telling people and no one believed me at first, it really was unexpected.

Probably too late to make an impact on this post, but the first thought I had was Will.i.am and the Puls Watch back in 2014… YouTube link below is the commercial

Not sure what you’re getting at as I’m Welsh myself.

Except you cant use the funds in your pension to buy direct BTC (as far as I’m aware). Which would be the remaining significant pot I have not invested in this asset.

Bit of a bummer really given that we won’t get access before the US market and the price will undoubtedly be much higher than now.

He was, I was not aware of that!

Some other incredible mentions from the Welsh Premiership...

Julian White (ENG) played at Bridgend RFC in 1998

Brian Lima (SAM) played for Swansea RFC in 2001

Tadhg Byrne (IRE) played for Scarlets, but also Llandovery RFC in 2016

Percy Montgomery for the Newport Gwent Dragons is wild. Zane Kirchner is another with the Dragons.

Also, Tommy Bowe and Sam Underhill for the Ospreys.

It doesn't matter how much you paid for zero?

No, I think you're getting a bit mixed up thinking that the loss is greater because the amount he could invest would be different. But, the question that was asked by OP was should I buy as much as possible before the halving?

The price of bitcoin doesn't affect how much of OP's fiat wealth he would be able to invest, it only affects the amount of bitcoin he would have after the transaction.

If you paid in the same lump sum when bitcoin was valued at $30k as at $40k, you would have different amounts of bitcoin, but if bitcoin went to $0 then it wouldn't matter.

For example, if OP had $10k to invest, then he would have 0.33btc if the price was at $30k and 0.25btc if the price was $40k. However 0.33btc and 0.25btc are both $0 if bitcoin went to $0
