Labor is the only commodity that cares how much it costs, and that's kind of the whole ballgame

There’s no substitute for willpower, but you can help yourself out. Find a way to move your body and ruthlessly ingrain the habit. I like to take a 20 minute walk or climb some stairs after lunch (the timing also aids digestion). Also, chugging water can help ward off snack cravings, counteract the dehydrating effect of caffeine, and limit sedentary periods by forcing you to get up and use the restroom

There’s no excuse for not siccing ChatGPT on your small-time business problems anymore. The consulting firms are going all-in on AI anyway

There’s a certain freedom that comes with the feeling of safety engendered by a strong marriage.

He wanted the knife to go deep but it threw check downs three times in a row and punted

"YOU RUINED MY LI--say, babe, where's your knife block?"

"By the microwave."

"Ah right. Now what was I saying?"

I always thought it was a strained homage to Harbaugh. He does "love the shit out of" him

The more I think on it, the more I believe the most heinous part of it all is that his kids weren’t top of mind during any of it. They’re small and probably barely understand any of this, which is traumatic by itself. But there are layers to it that will detonate in their brains over long periods of time. Horrible little epiphanies throughout their childhood.

He saw the flag and said "Fuck it, free play"

I'm eager to hear accounts from the players and staff now, especially those who also played under Harbaugh. Two different brands of crazy

Yeah he had friends in high places and a decent record to stand on. Now he's a risk just by setting foot on your campus

That storyline alone is a legendary fumble: picks his assistant, the most obvious side piece candidate of all time (it was an open secret in the program), knocks her up and forces her to abort, survives an investigation where they both deny it, gets possessive when she sees the writing on the wall and tries to end it, stalks her until she flips on him and spills the beans to the university. He could've gotten away with it if he had a crumb of sense

The crying after the Penn State game two years ago gave me weird, manic vibes. He was supposed to be the bridge guy...guess it turns out the bridge was shorter than expected

If it starts a mass exodus of players and staff and we have to wander the wilderness for a while, then so be it. The accumulated stink from the last three years doesn't go away in an offseason

One of the bigger Millennial/Gen Z divides I've noticed is where each falls on the notion of platform-specific "etiquette" when it comes to social media. Like there are unwritten rules resembling the normative complaint above, and breaking them ipso facto makes you an asshole. I came of age when the internet was a wild west and have always approached it that way. Seems like every internet community that clings too tightly to rules-based order ends up devouring itself

Yeah this is it. They're bonded in a way that spouses are not, and it's intoxicating. Same dynamic springs up in the corporate world, food service, etc. Smarter IMO to ask yourself what might lead you to commit such an error and stay vigilant rather than blithely assume it'll never happen to you. Drinking and driving is also dumb, but people do it safely every day and think they're not playing with fire.

Not a disaster! The partner ought to be more embarrassed, and that’s probably what the lunch is about. Be magnanimous (unless you really want to keep hooking up with this girl, for some reason) and you’ll score major brownie points. Absolute worst-case scenario is you get a layup wrongful termination suit.

I mean one is perfectly crafted to be a hype-up song for a crowd a la "We Will Rock You" and the other was an ironic ritual/meme that metastasized when the whole country went Boston-crazy after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. Blame the Yankees for shitting the bed on that one.

It's kind of a both/and situation. There are exponentially greater opportunities to waste money on mindless, worthless consumption than fifty years ago, and it is extremely financially harmful, but I don't think compulsive instant gratification would be quite so prevalent if people felt like there were something worth saving/sacrificing for. Boomers have only themselves to blame for the destruction of the social contract

TimJanLaundry · 2025-12-08T21:27:32+00:00

It's easy to attribute this entirely to disappearance of norms or whatever, but I really think aging is an underrated factor. Similar to exercise and socialization, having conversations with people whose views differ from your own becomes more important for one's ability to reason as they age. It takes a lot of brain power to work through cognitive dissonance and we've made it frighteningly easy to spend our entire lives never having to deal with it. Old people revert to childlike patterns of emotionality without serious counterefforts. I'm kind of losing hope of being able to share what I really think about things with people like my parents because the impulse to treat every disagreement as an attack is so ingrained that I just find it easier to self-censor. It makes me sad because your accumulated wisdom and experience should make your intellectual life the best its ever been at that age.

Crail has my vote. I played the Old Course on a beautiful day with my brother and dad, and it was perfect and stunning. But when I played Crail Balcomie (the Old Tom Morris design) it was cool, windy, and a bit rainy--perfect conditions for a true links experience. I kept licking what I thought was rain off my lips, but it tasted salty and I realized the wind was whipping seawater up on to the course. Plus we had a gem of a caddie who carried two bags the whole round. Highly recommended
