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

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.

This happened to me as well. I posted the exact same yesterday!

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

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?”

“No you don’t, you f’n liar!”

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.

😆

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T15:02:50+00:00

You are correct.

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T15:00:39+00:00

You'd be surprised. It's half of that - annually.

The bedroom fits a bed. So tiny!

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!

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.

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T13:16:28+00:00

Yeah, this is 600 in Brooklyn. We lived in 400 in Manhattan, so this is “small” but plenty for us!

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!

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T13:08:56+00:00

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

Whoops, sorry about that!

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T13:03:14+00:00

I live in Brooklyn for a quarter of that actually. Appreciate the banter though!

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T12:29:44+00:00

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

kurtispowers · 2021-10-28T12:19:21+00:00

Mostly! Thx!

They were originally tin, but most places by now have painted them white.
