Social media has certainly bastardized this, but I think healthy behavior is often dependent on your natural instincts. If your instinct is towards virtue signaling, then advertising your genuine random act of kindness for the clout is pro

I find the good strategy/bad strategy definition useful, which is essentially, an area of ‘strength’ as to be applied to an area of ‘weakness’ (put in quotes because I think weakness can be replaced with “opportunity” or similar words,

Agree with everything above. I would also say, I spend more than 9 hours a day on my computer. Sure, it's my job, but I'm curious what "healthy computer habits" means in a world where this person will very likely be ex

It makes me think about the research[1] that suggests people pick their doctors based on empathy over competence, but it's really hard to evaluate competence if you don't think the person is listening to you. Maybe you can see by

I'm trying to understand your post. It seems like you're suggesting that picking out a table isn't that important, but my understanding of the post was that the person selling the table should give a shit, not the person buy

I highly suspect proper diet is quite variable based on genes/environment/etc. I wonder how mature (or not) dietary science is. We have this firm idea of allergies and vague idea of sensitivities, but I imagine there is a lot mo

A bunch of people have mentioned the hedonic treadmill, but I'm not actually sure this is it, though there's not enough information to know. Maybe it is? But your situation just seems... Normal. I guess it depends. I'm sor

I've had something like this idea for a long time and I have a feeling it's one of those ideas in the idea-o-sphere that lots of people have that is either impossible to implement or get traction on(I have a feeling the latter).

Since I'm obsessed with the recent 80's resurgence(acknowledging that this reflection of the 1980's is much more polished than the original) I'm curious, what's your grudge against the 1980's?

Yeah I mean I guess that’s what I’m trying to say. I do think Dorsey is a believer which makes it so odd to me that Dorsey and Musk apparently had enough of a relationship for Dorsey to say Musk was the best person to take over Twitter, an

The way I am currently understanding it, is that I think it's a distinction about the stage of the deal he's in. There would usually be a due diligence phase during negotiations, and then after due diligence they would sign a mer
