He wrote journals on his meditations on life for himself. It's literally called Meditations

Stoicism isn't about blocking feelings, it's about being consciously aware of what you're feeling, why you're feeling it, and reacting to it in the way that fits your ideals and morals rather than acting on impulse

Jesus christ, does nobody take metaphors for what they are anymore? How bout you all tell me about how the "hang in there" cat is actually a message of futile resistance against the pull of gravity.

Pretty sure it was implied he didn't know up until he was specifically summoned. I doubt a man who's first instinct is to grab his shotgun and kill the man responsible would wave off his daughters kidnapping and murder for cricket if he'd known

Again, I'm pretty sure local culture is more a factor to police shootings than training hours. If I remember right, the majority of police shootings are pretty concentrated. Like the majority of shootings in general, in comparison to the number of gun owners

I see no reason to believe they would be particularly shocked, if we were to make assumptions about intelligence based on the fact we're the most intelligent species on the planet.

Reply to Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico
Every day I wonder about the commonality of college education when the biggest take away for most people nowadays seems to only be "I'm more educated, and thus smarter, than those bumpkins in the sticks. This also makes me more valuable, moral, and better as person."
Seriously, if your going to wank yourselves off, do it in private.

Gotta say, this is the single most butt hurt example of jealousy I've seen on this site in years. You aren't owed anything by people sharing the cool stuff they make.

Why is this so freaking hard? It is probably the single most effective source of energy we have and all people can think about is a half century old accident built on incompetence and corruption and another that required a damn tsunami and earthquake in combination to cause.
