  • Willpower is definitely a thing. It's defined as:

    • "The ability to delay gratification, resisting short-term temptations in order to meet long-term goals
    • The capacity to override an unwanted thought, feeling, or impulse
    • The ability to employ a “cool” cognitive system of behavior rather than a “hot” emotional system
    • Conscious, effortful regulation of the self by the self
    • A limited resource capable of being depleted"
  • Hey there, subject aside, I think you need to review what you truly think is important in your life. Based on this post you seem to feel a lot of pressure to succeed, but what success really means is up to you, not anyone else. I found the book "Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck" to be helpful on this subject; as for the title it's not about not giving a fuck but choosing carefully what to give a fuck about. There's some interesting stories on this exact subject in there, e.g. did you know that Dave Mustaine largely considers his majorly successful music career a failure because he was kicked out of a band before starting Megadeth? The band he was kicked out of was Metallica, so he compares himself to them and robs himself of any joy.

    There also is more than one path to a goal. Even when you feel like you've "failed" it just means you have to find another way.

    Personally, I'd find a compilation of such notes a bit morbid and quite sad. So much wasted potential because people felt that they couldn't change, and we can all change if we want to. But it's a genuinely interesting concept. Maybe others find them motivational the way you do!

  • TIL they put percentage limits on hyperbole. Thanks for letting me know friend!

  • Elon is paying a lot of money to try to swing the political spectrum way far to the right. At this point everyone else has left.

    Why haven't you?

  • Oh yeah that totally seems normal. Definitely no reason to stop the Supreme Court's corruption - they said so themselves!

  • Wow that's actually interesting thanks for letting me know!

  • Oh that's why all female characters get debuffs /s

  • It's a nice suit! You can't just discount a candidate because they wear a hockey mask 24/7.

  • Cool. Next do cancer. Don't even have to develop it as it already exists just make it main stream.

  • Long story short is splitting up the Democrats is exactly what conservatives want, to the point I wouldn't be surprised if media moguls are spending millions to protect their billions by giving this movement any traction at all.

  • Didn't the Supreme Court just invite him to do this?

  • Simply, I would love to start a religion on an already existing short story, The Egg: YouTube Link

    Solves a bunch of programs with karma and if everyone believed it the world would undoubtedly be a better place.

  • And the ratings for this season are worse than the first two by a long shot.

    Edit: Downvote all you want but the audience score for season 3 is currently 58% compared to the prior 2 seasons of 92%+. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_bear/s03

  • I literally can't tell the difference! They're the same picture! /s

  • Has anyone read the fine print? Are there any limits to this? Why can't Biden just eliminate Trump and claim immunity?

    Just like Trump will once elected...

  • Great.

  • But they won't because there's no profit in that.

  • I appreciate you taking the time to clarify thank you!

  • Well, yeah. People are acting like language models are full fledged AI instead of just a parrot repeating stuff said online.
