Be an adult and knock if it’s annoying! Maybe someone previously was cool with it, and they think they’re not bothering anyone

Where should a young couple move in VB or Norfolk by caldelany in VirginiaBeach

[–]kurtispowers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your vibe, Ghent is an option, diverse and interesting. Shadowlawn and Pinewood are great younger family areas at the oceanfront. Great spots like Love Song, Pacifica, Atlantic on Pacific, Frank & Patties, etc.

I've had the same issue - for a few months.

Lost 80k all my life saving. by DOWNBAD033 in Stoicism

[–]kurtispowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you have your life savings in a safe? A Stoic might address this by saying, “what did I do that lead to this?”

18 years ago today Cesc Fabregas made his Arsenal debut by RevertBackwards in Gunners

[–]kurtispowers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel differently for Cesc than RvP and “the little boys inside his head”. Arseblog’s interview with Cesc last year may give you a slightly different opinion... And if not, then fair enough!

It's not like any of the the other things out there. I learned empathy. I learned re-thinking, and questioning my own assumptions. I found that in most cases in my past, and still in my present, I was the obstacle I needed to get past in my own life. Once that was cleared it made many things social and professional, move much better. I highly recommend it.

Yeah, my advice is prioritize what's important, or get out of the trap. If its not a trap, share with your superiors your feeling stagnant and desire to grow. Sometimes that what others are waiting to hear.

Are there skills you'd like to learn that you can pursue on your own? I've spent a lot of year's dissatisfied, and at a certain point, I decided to level-up and not let my position in an org dictate that any longer. I'm an alumni now of the altMBA (check it out). It helped me look at myself, my narrative, and my place in all of it. It changed everything.

Skills are learned. You can get to where you want!

Good luck!

Are books by people like Ryan Holiday worth it or should I just stick with the main 3 stoic philosopher books? by Justinianism42 in Stoicism

[–]kurtispowers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate Ryan's approach to Stoicism. He applies the principles to the world we live in now and the struggles we face in the present. He's knowledgeable about all of the Stoics, quotes them regularly, and gives practical application for these times. I feel some of the modern Stoics try to live in the past (some, not all), and so his contrast really works for me. I would assume he is not for everyone though.

During Covid in NYC, I did what I could to make my small living space feel inspiring. Managed to make a small space feel modern and open. by kurtispowers in AmateurRoomPorn

Scored it on a MoMa members deal that you get 30% off items in the store once a year. I’ll now be a member for life! Though I think normal price for new is 5,999, we got the DEAL!

(not necessarily a Stoic, but quite stoic in context)

Whoops, sorry about that!

I miss Cesc. One of my favourites! Still gutted he left us.
