I walked over and gently asked her what was going on. She said, “He has to go.” I told him, “Sorry, she’s the owner, you have to leave.” He replied, “FUCK YOU! I’m the owner!” This is my question…what was the next best move by me? "OK, but next step is the cops." If he stays walk away fro...

Russia getting degraded in Ukraine still seems like a good idea, but the operation of private armies inside Russia is quite bad.

Wagner appears to be starting a civil war in Russia.

We have previously criminally prosecuted VPs, senators, governors (a bunch in my state), etc. Other democracies have had some presidents/PMs go down. Also, they tried very hard to not do it. Trump got like 30 chances to do take-backsies and return the stuff. In general, what does not happen is a cyc...

He's had some very interesting interviews and is one of the few people actually measuring stuff. Lot of "bio hackers" out there spouting woo and bro science. This guy actually brings it. It's definitely not for me, but it's pretty remarkable. Left his wife when she was undergoing breast ca...

Hugely entertaining dark comedy with predominantly Asian cast. Was going to flip past it before a couple people here mentioned it on FB.

Without the crucible of competition, fraud runs rampant especially for stuff coming out of Asia. Jigoro Kano doesn't get enough credit. Not the biggest sample size, but I've never met a JKD guy who could protect his head, unless he was also a boxer. At that point is the boxing that's protecting him,...

This kept getting recommended so I checked out ep 1.

100 Korean Olympians, MMA fighters, wrestlers, fitness models, military, strongmen, @fitters, and Youtube celebrities compete in feats of strength, agility, and endurance, facing elimination a la Squid Game. Extremely entertaining.

Enjoyed this season a lot. Pedro Pascal is friggin everywhere lately.

Right on

Gotcha. Not giving anything away (it's on the cover), but those books cover how to deal with someone with BPD, one of the Cluster B ones I mentioned.

Are you married?

Sorry that happened. My stb ex-wife's dad handled the death of her mom very poorly and she carried a lot of that.

Glad you're dealing with it, many people don't.

Yeah…ok but missing the larger point. A guy who attracts problems isn’t necessarily the guy who is the path to solving them. Fix yo shit first. While this is not addressing the deeper issue of being attracted to people with drama, it is three steps in a healthier direction. Maybe with a fuller gas ...

Just saw this somehow. His wife also grew up in a Brazilian slum, so whatever weirdness comes from that environment as well. That's pretty traumatic in a "not the way American women talk about 'trauma'" way. That's some heavy shit. It is going to be hard to be this person's husband if she'...

Bram, here you go for the next time Prompt compose an email that is firing a fitness/nutrition client who isn't complying with the program I laid out. Not accusatory, it's just not the right fit and he's got a medical need to get things under control, and isn't doing so with me. Make this less forma...

This thing is astonishing.

My buddy hasn’t responded to calls or texts, but I have continued to swing by his place unannounced. This is hard. I’m shy in certain situations and hate burdening people, but in this case it’s been the right approach. It seems like you're often in a position of helping people who have problems wit...

This feels all kinda shitty and manufactured, while also creating real-world problems. I'm guessing nobody cares what Insane Clown Posse thinks of various minorities, because nobody would ask them. That Duck Dynasty guy thinks being gay is wrong. Nobody's putting on 100 podcasts to talk about it. Bu...

FWIW this is an incredibly hard pill to swallow. The conflict levels in my marriage were lower than what you're describing, but still bad. Two young kids of similar age. Refusal to work on things. There are some details I won't publicly post because I'm not anonymous, but the time between me realizi...

His marriage — his wife is incredibly mean to him. His phone is full of texts like, “You motherfucker! You’re the worst father on Earth!” That was after he went surfing on the weekend for two hours, leaving his son with his wife. He's gotta bounce. This isn't a close call. High conflict marriages a...

Happy birthday Tim!

Saudi Arabia beating Argentina is pretty funny.

I've known two people in the last couple months who've had to go to the hospital. One was released after a night, another was away for like 7 weeks. Both extremely capable professionals. I think this stuff is a a lot more visible than it used to be, in part because the stigma is present but greatly ...
