Writing is fun until you read what you wrote.

Then you hate yourself for being such a garbage writer, delete everything, and start again.

So success in life means actual intelligence? I disagree with that.

Success ≠ actual intelligence.

Plenty of very successful people who are complete morons.

Women are attracted to success, regardless of actual intelligence.

And of course this is a generalization. Women are not a monolith.

Question about naming and shaming businesses.

How will that work? If a business or an individual tied to a business does something awful, is naming and shaming that business or individual fair game or would it be considered doxxing?

For example, not long ago I saw a post about some gym owner wearing a Nazi SS shirt. The post was naming and asking people to cancel their membership to this guy's gym.

Another example was some guy who was recorded on video at a restaurant throwing all his garbage on the floor and clearing his table after eating by swiping everything to the floor. Generally just being a disgusting human being.

Someone found out who he was and that he owned a business, and of course everyone began to call him out on his social media accounts, as well as giving his business a poor rating and so on.

Would that type of thing be allowed?

What's happening here? What are those wiggly white lines around the spider?

That is an often repeated but false saying.

People are not who they truly are when drunk.

If someone is going through a tough time they might act out when drunk, and deeply regret it the next day because they acted exactly how they are not.

Or someone might be going through a great time and revel a bit too much and in ways they would normally not. And again feel great shame and regret the day after.

Anyone that's been really drunk has done stupid shit. That stupid shit definitely doesn't define who they are.

It's such nonsense. Imagine telling every alcoholic that has gotten sober that they are defined by all the fucked up shit they did when drunk and that's who they really are.

Finally reading The Lord of the Rings.

Almost at the end of Fellowship, but I must say it has been a bit of a drag.

I will most definitely finish it, but from all the hype I did have slighty higher expectations.

It's also very likely that since I have already seen the movies and loved them, and already know what is going to happen, it has somewhat taken away from the book experience.

Although the whole Bombadil section was new, and I did not find it especially interesting.

This is nonsense. Epidurals don't reach your brain. Not how it works. They just numb the spinal nerves so pain signals don't reach the brain.

Isn't the US infamous for being one of the only countries where once you hit 18 your parents expect you to fuck off?

And if you don't, everyone belittles you for living in your parents' basement?
