It is foolish to think people actually want to work more and that we tie our success to working harder and making more money.

I am not super strict with when I eat, make sure I get enough. But I agree that my lifts suffer more if I haven't given myself enough rest or time between workouts - that's a bigger detriment to lifting.

I am in my early 30s. I am wondering if you've been able to do this while making a push for higher weights? I'm currently training to move from 1300 total to a 1500 total. Regarding burning calories I agree, I've felt in myse

Not sure how to do fasting with exercise. I follow the Russian Sheiko powerlifting training plan, eating around 4500 calories a day. Not sure how my body would react to skipping entire days without eating. If I miss my second late night sna

You were making $500k a year, that isn't normal, regardless of what you tell yourself.

Life will never be fair. That is the status quo of life since the beginning of time, it will never change. Regardless of what you try to do, it will never be fair. I didn't see women fighting to get into those physically demanding jobs

Seems to be the same for women here. It was their choice to have children thus leaving their field. Why do we care that not everyone is offered the same opportunities? Life isn't fair. Until I see women fighting to take on all the role

I was accepted to a PhD in both economics and math, yet I had to turn them down due to being a parent of two small children. My wife stays at home with them, thus reducing my salary to a TA wasn't feasible for 4 - 6 years. Is there a p

With unlimited PTO and flexible schedule, I take way more time-off. Never will I give up my health, time-off for co-workers, they aren't family or friends, they are co-workers, who will replace you if you die tomorrow.

In a world where violence is not allowed money and political clout become the power, but in a world where physical violence is allowed money and political clout will only get you so far. Money and political clout might appear like non-viole

I've been thinking lately we actually need to implement an acceptable level of violence in society. Using only your body as the weapon, such as animals do in the wild. We've become too soft and engrained to believe money and polit

We haven't calculated the cost, but we know its up there. Particularly since we make 90% of our meals from scratch. She does all the baking, we share in the cooking and split clean-up.

Sure if you're microwaving pasta, not sure why you would do that, you don't need Parmigiano-Reggiano, but why subject yourself to poor quality food.

The appropriate knowledge can be acquired in anything if you put in the effort.

I would argue you are correct and those without that knowledge will find themselves in over their head quickly without that knowledge.

Kodiak bears are pretty rare to see. Saw one in my 6 years living there. I heard plenty mountain biking, but they don't bother you as you aren't a predator nor their prey.

We are in the same peer group, of early 30s. Luckily, most of my peers don't have this line of thinking, although they do put great deal effort after hours into our line of work - data science / machine learning. They all want inf

After serving in the military (Air Force air traffic controller, so military lite) I align more with the 3rd country workers mentioned. Take the task, complete it to the best of my ability, move on to the next task. I don't care about

The decline in playtime for all is a major concern. It is difficult to find a group to play any pick-up sports e.g., basketball. Even adult leagues are difficult, as no one really commits, just shows up when they can, if they have nothing e

While a low probability to fine someone who did, I did grow-up on island in Alaska (Kodiak) with endless (well up to the ocean) of forests, mountains, and rivers to explore right outside my backyard.
