    I won't give specific advice, but know you've gotta break the habit eventually, and it'll take a few shitty days. But you'll get through it then it'll be easier

    I own a business and make as many vendor purchases as possible on my credit card for the points. I generate enough points to take my family on a vacation each year, plus a personal trip when there's a concert I want to see.

    Part of me feels guilt that the system is 100% built in my favor compared to the average consumer, so I'll regularly give away flights / hotel stays to people who need it. My city is somewhat remote so when people need specialist doctors they usually have to fly to a bigger city for a few days, I have a favorite hotel right downtown near the hospital I book a few times a year. One of my favorites was when I flew a (mostly) stranger first class across the country to visit some family they were missing but couldn't afford to see

    It was great though at recommending the times to step away from a movie, telling you what you'd miss and how long you had without giving up much for spoilers

    It's interesting to think if you get rid of ROR you might reduce fatalities but you're adding commute time to everyone else. Is there balance to safety vs convenience? Ban all cars and we'll be at zero, but that's not realistic.

    Put speed cameras with automatic fines on every street and a super low speed limit you'd probably save a ton of lives

    My question is, say you save 5 lives per month at the expense of adding 10 lifetimes of commute time distributed across all drivers, is it worth the change? What if it's 20 lifetimes?

    There's a line and I think it's different for everyone, and if I knew a victim it would move my line

    I play a mix of skater and goalie and I follow as many Maria Mountain stretching videos as I can. They can honestly be harder than the 20 minute hard bike ride but the older I get the more I need to take care of my groin and hips

    I follow a bunch of sports through highlights only and sometimes there's not a lot to say outside of "look at this sick save", but I'll try in future posts to have some decent text to go with it
