A note for the future, if whoever posts this could please link the actual sales URL, it would help highly confused people. Like me. There was no sale link anywhere on the site I could find (and I was there in the throes of the sale). There

I have a sense of 'pressure' based on how many tabs and windows i have open. Every week or so, I'll go through them with a specific mindset (do I want self improvement, learn about math, new languages, etc) and read as much a

It's not about whether feminine or masculine are positive or negative traits. They are labels that are being misapplied, and in this case not relevant. They do imply bias on behalf of the user, especially in a discussion oriented aroun

I actually paired the ketosis diet (ruled.me) with shapiro's guide and lost most of my excess body fat while toning the important things. It's been about five months and the changes are pronounced. Bonus, keto is kind of a brain b

Having been on a ketogentic diet (low carbs, high fat) for the last 5 months or so, this is in line with what I've seen. I went on the diet because of the promise of a clearer head, as well as general health improvement. It made sense,

The only company I had offer this used it as a lever to pressure us to work more and longer. Then encouraged peer shaming if we took a day much less a week off. At that job I had two weeks off in two years. To be a tiny bit fair, this was a
