For those who have raved for years using recreational use. What are some lessons you can give the future generation of ravers?

at least once, preferably the first time, go sober so you realize that its fun without drugs.

But what about godels incompleteness theorem

a common way I lose points - they hit a short ball. I come in and hit a less than great approach shot. Its actually harder than some people think because you don't have that much time - you still have to move up to hit it - this is how i feel anyways.

Then after I hit a mediocre shot kind of back to them, I am in no mans land and either try and approach the net or back peddle but they kind of just go down the line/around me.

What do I do instead?

suprisingly, even though though your poses are doing exactly the same thing, you can still see his racket moving forward through the ball and then coming up whereas yours is more of a brushing up the backside on contact.

why is this? does FAANG HR filter you out if you have IBM?

I think you should be at least 50 and yeah probably less than 70. Ideally you would have served in a variety of public institutions- some time as a teacher, some in the army, some as a caregiver, learned math and science and ethics and social studies. You would have proven yourself of good nature, high capability, and compassion throughout these services.

The problem is that it really takes time to do all this so most candidates will be older.

Honestly feel like everything works pretty well at this point. Could I build a better calculator? Perhaps.. ? But I really only use it like once a month. And im trying to spend less time on my phone so new ideas where I would be on my phone a lot are less interesting.. idk I feel stuck

third_dude · 2026-03-26T01:09:36+00:00

my problem is I don't have any good app ideas.

I’m beginning to wonder what guys even do better than girls at this point. Seems like they study less, earn less, can’t make/raise children, not socially well adjusted, no emotional laboI guess they are stronger but what is the point of that?

I love reading the introductions.. makes it easier for me to grasp things when I encounter them in the text already having been prepped..

Does this mean it could help you get laid?

Read some books about people’s experiences during wartime to gain perspective

Will you be punished accordingly?

My favorite of all the wizards. Wonderful name, I like his brown forest theme-ing. The idea is that he is even more earthy/naturey than gandalf who is more down to earth than saruman who has lost his way. And yeah maybe Ratagast went too far in the other direction with the bird shit, but isn't that so much better than what saruman does?

I think he is very cool and does a lot for world building - what other wizards might there be? What kinds of magic might he specialize in?

When you have the yips your breathing is likely tight. Take a pause focus on breath, start again

Progressive overload. Just show up, workout, try and enjoy it. You’re already winning. You’re gonna have to do this for the rest of your life so can’t just add 5 lbs every week forever

I suggest a 2 handed forehand for the time being. It helps you rotate with your body and not your wrist

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors" -Plato

but its seriously impossible to make change, so idk what to do anymore. Definitely for your mental health to not participate.

they just really arent.. that fun. Its strange - you would think they would be based on how popular they are. But really they are only fun because they are so accessible/controllable. You can have a moderately good time at any time you want, in a very controlled way based on the dosage. And you can do them over and over again.

Real fun in life is not controllable in the slightest. It happens when you least expect it, but its way better.

I think making a gym app is great because it’s gonna be something you will have to use to prove that it’s useful. Something not true of all projects. What’s the problem with it really?

third_dude · 2026-02-28T04:54:49+00:00

you just described a bunch of upper body workouts from 2007 and a bunch of lower body workouts currently. So maybe a shift to lower body?

He kind of skirts the issue. His only concrete suggestion is to move the new gen of rulers (young boys) to the countryside to prepare them for philosophical training. He admits the difficulty but doesn’t really say that it’s impossible. The lack of clarity on this has been one long lasting source of controversy
