Using The Dumbass Machine to do your thinking for you is like taking a forklift to the gym. The point isn't to lift the weights, it's to develop your muscles. So glad I graduated college in 2009

Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

The National Guard has spent the vast bulk of their time picking up trash and walking around. There is absolutely no reason Sarah Beckstrom should have been in Washington DC the day before Thanksgiving instead of at home in West Virginia with her family. She died so Trump could look like a Tough Guy
I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

I have Mahomes as my fantasy QB and Pickens as my fantasy WR, and my opponent has the Chiefs' defense. So ideally this is a shootout with the Cowboys getting the dub. I'm gonna hope for 45-41 Dallas

When I ran my own company between 2015-2017 I worked 14 hours a day, 7 days a week. I made bank but was miserable and never got to actually enjoy life. Now I make a fraction of that but I actually get to cook dinner with my lady, walk in the park, go to the gym, and have a life. And I'm much happier
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.
