Not an analogy but he said in one of his speeches that "Preaching is moral violence", he said that in respect to religion but that that kind of helped me change my attitude whenever I talk to younger kids or cousins.

One thing about this guy is, he's been buying gme calls since summer 2019 and people made fun of him overtime and he continued doing so. Hes been giving monthly or weekly update about his calls since then.

Things are much worse at Gannett, parent company of usatoday. Personally, being laid off on March 31! Almost every employee is effected at this time, either furloughed for few hours a week, pay cut or let go !!

First thing I do at my computer if I am groggy is to do chess tactics. Based on the results, I take a break or continue with my actual work. I should probably be looking at ELO as well, I just go by numbers at this time !

I started getting WSJ April last year and read it everyday now. Saves me a lot of time and got me back into reading books, set a target of 24 for the year.
rock8y | 8 years ago | on: 9-5 Is Out. Try the 1-6 Instead
I come in at around 11 45 every day and work until 7 with couple of 15 minute breaks for ping pong. No loss in productivity and extremely satisfied with commute(DC metro). But I make sure, I check my emails and respond at around 930 am, if some one needs me.

Am in same boat as you. Its effecting individuals more than the companies they are aiming for.

Elorant, Is there an inexpensive way to be a masseur you are aware of ? Every school seems to be expensive where I live at.
rock8y | 11 years ago | on: Graph of Foursquare's Popularity After Removing Check-Ins
I am one of the users who stopped using Foursquare when the new version was released but for different reason.
When I was about to check in on my visit to a nearby mall, it said in my feed,my friend was there too. I texted him if he wanted to catch up for a beer after shopping. When we met up and ended up realizing that he never checked in but still showed up on my list, I decided to stop using Foursquare atm. I never knew if it was a bug or intended feature.
