Ryan replied to Ole Johan A. Bjerke's discussion Correlation between personal interests and/or beliefs and physical appearance?"I'm at MLG this weekend; the professional players are much more well kept than their lesser counter-parts.

Ryan replied to Jonathan Mckiddy's discussion Letting it go. Conquering my anger and impulsivness" I'm fairly certain studies have shown emotional responses are learned. So if a person reacts to a certain situation with anger they'll be more apt to do so in the future. There isn't a bottle in your belly storing anger. …"

Stage 2: Of Clouds

I find myself a tad split on the topic of clouds and the concepts that follow them. First, a cloud. In reality, the first and foremost, clouds equate to a ball of evaporated liquid, usually water, which occupies some unknown altitude in our atmosphere. They can be defined in a number of ways including, but not limited to: fat, puffy, round, pretty, beautiful, cumulus, stratus, circus, nimbus, lion-like, dragon-like, gun-like, and… Continue

Why: Why am I writing this? I can say it's for myself, but I can't be completely blind. There is something so much more tangible about self-discovery when you puke it up all over the the internet. Maybe someone will obtain something meaningful from it. If I could call this anything, it would be a guide on how to kick your ass into gear. A layout for others to follow if they feel they need to be more than what they currently are. Not instructions, but an example. Who knows if it will be… Continue

Bart replied to Lore's discussion Avoiding personal financial ruin"it might help to make some sort of thumb-rule for what money is actually worth.

Matt Watt replied to Matt Watt's discussion What's the difference between good and evil?"Dualism of subject-object metaphysics is like a prison for the mind. The best way to tackle issues like morality and values is to start with the nature of thought.
I think this pretty much sums it up, great way of looking at it."
Lore replied to Lore's discussion Avoiding personal financial ruin"Increasing income is something I would like to do, but at this point in my financial life, I think that being more frugal should be my main focus.
