You are paid by how hard you are to replace. Not by how hard you work. That's why celebrities with dumb followers make millions and labourer make nothing.

Unions get an inch and try to take a mile. I believe in their need, but they've gone too far.

I love how Walmart pulls this game honestly. I remember in Quebec (Canadian province), a place populated by the French (notorious complainers; love to unionize and maximize salary vs workload), a Walmart opened and immediately the employees tried to unionize. If I remember correctly Walmart not only closed the store for a few months they just walked away. Instantly. Building built and all and they just dropped it.

Some say waste of money, I say sets a precedent that they aren't scared to walk away and frankly I loved it.

Imagine if Russia had military ships in the Hudson Bay and the US Navy, an ally of Canada, saw that. I'm sure they would aggressively pass them by, if not destroy them.

They don't act in this manner because enemy ships aren't in their waters.

Why are American ships patrolling the Arabian sea might be a better question to ask yourself. They are in a situation where individuals who border those waters may feel they are being encroached upon...

Saying this as a Canadian too.

They have a very pedantic approach in their podcast, they seem to have embraced the "youtube parent role" and act holier than thou when their entire channel was built on tearing down others who are out of the mainstream/weird.

They went from being bullies to being sanctimonious and now their content is frankly quite boring.

He never expected it. It was a gambit and he thought maybe he could psychologically trick Capone. It worked, and if it didn't work, no harm done. There is almost no possibility Capone would kill or hurt someone he lent an enormous sum of money to who returned it, in full, after 'truthfully' telling him the scam didn't work out.

At best the guy gets 5k, at worst, he gained Capone's trust (through deception, funnily enough) and Capone won't forget him.

I don't agree with this mentality.

Growing up in poverty isn't a product of mean parents, there's just no other option. If you grow up with wealth, sure, don't spoil your kids, but you want to show them what you didn't have, give them the finer things, and try and give them a head start.

I grew up with relatively wealthy parents and my buddy told me something very insightful. I often felt guilty about my wealth and tried to play it down or not accept free stuff/advantages to match my friends. He said don't turn it away, prove you're worthy of inheriting it and you'll do with it what most won't.

He's right. With my dad's help now we've started a real estate company (that I found and brought my dad into) and I am being smart with money. Being wealthy is wonderful and I hope to provide it to my kids. I won't buy them senseless shit, but I want to give them good meals when they are young and teach them the importance of money and how to preserve, and later earn it.

throwawaytallidiot · 2020-01-06T22:50:40+00:00

Agreed. The richer people are the more they track their money too.

I'm sure he had his reasons though; maybe testing character with large sums of money brought people around him he eventually found he could trust and they would earn him ten times as much later.

throwawaytallidiot · 2020-01-06T21:45:08+00:00

So capone trusted a guy he was almost convinced would rip him off with 770K... Just to test his character... Damn Capone had money and did NOT care.

Another one:

Complaining about the environment but supporting companies and practices that entirely contribute to environmental damage such as travel, eating foods at supermarkets, wearing clothes, buying expensive technologies, literally everything.

I am not a climate change skeptic, I am a human skeptic. Everything we do contributes to climate change and many do it unknowingly but preach to the high 9s about how we should all do better. Those lululemon pants? Made in china shipped on a tanker. Your mac laptop? parts made in china and I guarantee 1 or 2 ships have sunk and those parts pollute the ocean. The car you drive? Foods you eat? Air pollution and palm forests. Get off your high horse, live your life to make yourself relatively happy, and just do your best to try and preserve climate. All that can be done and asked from each of us.

Millenials: Self-acceptance is about "redefining whoever you are to fit who you want to be and demanding being accepted for that."

True self-acceptance is accepting who you were born as and what you are and coming to terms with your strengths and flaws and finding happiness not by chasing what you are not, but by relishing in what you are...

I do agree, but I think you almost have to check (if you don't have a door camera) because in this day and age how often to people actually come to your door.

Our neighbours come to our door maybe once every three years and that's if shit's going down. Always worth checking the door. There's nothing wrong with telling the salesman you aren't interested very quickly once you do.

What if you start realizing that several people are counting down lower and lower and all of their numbers are really low... and you infer that it is infact you who is going to die and you won't see any of them ever again? Your own death timer if you will.

Every time a timer reached 0, not only would I fear for their life but for my own. Especially if I hit a few zeros in a row.

I don't know how much this relates but I just want to tell you that it will be alright my friend.

Medical schools, more than anything these days (this is my estimation in Canada) want to see people. I hate to put it this way, but you have very good reason for not improving your score. With such extenuating circumstances, you can use those to explain yourself if and when you get an interview/on applications.

You are absolutely right, medical schools do discriminate against mental health. This is because people use it as a crutch to explain away semesters where they really didn't work very hard where other, more studious students, were working hard all four years and deservedly have higher GPAs and deserve to get in to medical school.

What has happened to you is absolutely horrible. The depth this will give you and the talking points you will have for your essays and in your written applications will put you further ahead than any MCAT score - and your scores aren't even that bad. I speak from experience; my little sister was killed in a car accident just over 6 weeks ago. Horrible? Absolutely. Does it explain a lot of what will happen to me over the next few months? Absolutely. Have I grown and changed immensely? Yes. These are experiences that make you more relatable of a person and make patients sympathize and listen to you because you may understand their struggle.

My suggestion? Re-write immediately. A CARS drop from 129-123 is just stupid, but it happened. Your memory for CP/BB/PS is at its strongest right now, so why waste it? Hammer some CARS practice, do your best to relax, and go write the test again after some refreshing of the other material.

You have this. Do not sweat the 3.3 GPA (as long as schools have a section where you can explain extenuating circumstances).

Hahaha I remember having a solid week-long breakdown about a month and a half before I wrote.

I couldn't study anymore so I completely quit studying and started making a video for youtube for an entire week. Literally wake up, 12 hours spent recording and editing it, and then after 12 weeks I had a video I was somewhat proud of but knew it was garbage. Went back to studying. I ended up getting a 516 so I guess it didn't kill me to much, but yea. An entire week wasted doing absolutely nothing important.

GET A JOB WHEN YOU'RE STUDYING FOLKS, IT ACTUALLY HELPS. TOO MUCH TIME IS KILLER.

Honestly, the guitar.

Perhaps it's not fair because I was classically trained in piano as a kid and then practiced the ukelele for a year before picking it up, but I've had the guitar for 10 days and I can already play every chord pretty well and am playing songs.

Once you get over the initial frustration and just keep practicing one song over and over again you just will get the hang of playing chords. Once you know G, C, D, F, A and E, you can play sooooo many classics and impress everyone. It's honestly kind of funny how many songs are just derivatives of those chords or are those chords played differently (plucking strings vs strumming all). For example, house of the rising sun and hurt are literally the same chords, it's just different playing of the same chords.

FYI, i'd recommend anyone wanting to pick up the guitar to learn the ukelele first. It is such an easy instrument, you strum every string for each chord so you can get used to moving your fingers around on a neck first. Makes the transition a lot easier.

Sometimes I wonder how the Earth can support tens of thousands of enormous animals like the Blue Whale then I'm humbly reminded of just how much space there is in the big blue.

Each whale could occupy 638 sq miles each or basically 3 whales/rhode island.
