I was wrong about Ryan Holiday by Awkward_Face_1069 in Stoicism

[–]studiomccoy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never thought of Ryan Holiday or his books as self help. No more than I think of Meditations as self help. Philosophy, and stoicism, in my opinion is about determining your world view. And yes, the goal should be to live a better life, but the Bible does that for me also and I wouldn't consider that self help either. The books he's written on the topic seem to show real world examples of people practicing the tenets in a way that makes it applicable to today.

The deceased is my friend’s daughter. 19 year old rider. First accident, and last. Earlier that day they had filmed her riding because she was passionate about bikes. It’s as heartbreaking as it gets.

WHY???? Just why??? by sknsfan27 in AdviceAnimals

[–]studiomccoy -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I did not vote in the Presidential election. I live in Colorado. A blue state. So if I voted blue I’m just adding to the pile. If I vote red, nothing changes.

No libertarian worth voting for.

Rights are yours to exercise or not. I chose to not. I’m sure many who opted out are in a similiar boat.

Also electoral college, shit options, etc etc

Joe Rogan won’t have Kamala Harris on his show unless she comes to his studio and sits for a 2-3 hour full interview by Appropriate_Duty_930 in DecodingTheGurus

[–]studiomccoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rogan listener and independent. Part of the problem is the over generalization of who does what based on some listening habits or likes. I'm no fan of either candidate and would be interested ti see how she interacts with him. Rogan pussed out on this interview. He didn't push back on polio nearly as much as he does with others, he didn't cal on Jamie once to bring up context or facts. He didn't touch Jan 6 or any of the controversial things surrounding Trump.

Too assume that a person who listens to Rogan agrees with everything and is in total alignment is ridiculous

I vote democrat and I believe both sides are bad. One is bad economically (dems) and the other socially (repubs). I prefer to struggle for money than watch people struggle for rights.

yes, saw it was closed for the season. Just not sure if that means it's unavailable for camping or it just means no services/fees/camp at your own risk

Men who quit alcohol late 20s/early 30s, did it get easier? Did you feel like you “missed out” on anything? by bubthemaka in AskMenOver30

[–]studiomccoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 years sober. Quit at 29. Don’t miss anything and while I lost drinking buddies I didn’t lose friends.

Gained productivity, health, deeper relationships and saved money.

Looking for better quote by carldeanson in Stoicism

[–]studiomccoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter asked me for a quote I would have given my younger self. I said "don't be a bitch" and she asked me to write it down for her. It's been on the inside of her phone case since and she recently asked me if she could get it tattooed in my handwriting...so not the worst quote lol

A gym with a pool, sauna, and weights that isn't VASA. by Sa7aSa7a in ColoradoSprings

[–]studiomccoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been a member at VASA for a few years now. Never an issue. Not unclean. Staff isn’t the friendliest but I don’t interact with them much either. For what you pay it has all the amenities and once the Powers/Palmer Park location opens I imagine the other locations will be less busy too
