Maybe, but you don't often hear people call Jimmy Hendrix a guy who thought about guitar a lot. There is talent augmenting the interest. (Note: I'm not a fan of Trump, but I do think it is important to understand he's strengths so he can be beaten in the election).

Of course, we all should vote Dem so we still have a democracy in the future. And I'm not overly picky, so long as they can win. So that should be the question - and if Biden's age impacts his ability to win, the Dems should choose someone who can.

The man is horrible generally speaking, but he is a marketing genius.

His age is a problem to the point where some people are worried about voting for him. And the Democrats have to include that fact in their calculus as they make decisions and move forward - or they will lose.

I recently discovered Kyra Parsi and power read all of her books. In fact, I'm rereading Half Hearted now.

Anything by Supertramp or Bad Company.

In years past, your comment might sound like hyperbole. But not so these days: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/the-wa-gop-put-it-in-writing-that-theyre-not-into-democracy/

I am not on the spectrum (I follow the community because I have 2 kids on the spectrum). I did, however, go to high school and also thought I was smarter than everyone else. I was probably smarter than some people. But as I've grown up, my perspective has shifted: (1) smarts are genetic, like being pretty, and both are like winning the genetic lottery. In contrast, people who work hard have earned it. (2) Being academically gifted does not always translate into success later in life. EQ, hard work and luck also play into it. Anywho, I thought I would pass that along because I'm not so sure you are a narcissist, but maybe just haven't had as much experience. Best of luck to you!

Oh yeah! He would be an excellent choice (if not this cycle, maybe in the future).

Oh, thanks for the clarification.

I'm one of those weirdos that likes to work (like I would still work 12 hour days if I won the lottery), even if I wouldn't expect others to do the same. So this type of article is relatable. Didn't mean to imply that others needed to work this way.

Are you recommending I put poison in my mouth?

I mean, it says "people would work as much as 130 hours in a week, including an all-nighter", so I don't read it as being consistent, nor always her. And the all-nighter was singular.

Edit: forgot to mention that this article is objecting to her formula for success, not her claims about working that many hour as being impossible.

That like 5 hours per night with 20 min to shower/get ready. Not great, but it can be done by taking meetings during your commute into work, having food delivered and eating/working at the same time. I assume that lady didn't have kids during her time at Google (when she was working those hours).

Edit: Marissa Mayer did not have kids during her time at Google. She had her first after she'd moved to Yahoo. There are no mentions of her hours there, so I assume they were less (not as fun to put into the article)

I think they were including things like travel and executive meals/networking as work time in the hours worked per week. I also assume these people really like their work (more like a hobby), which I can see making it easier to put in the hours. And at some point they can probably afford to pay for things that most of us do in our off hours (cook, clean, sit in traffic). So the numbers are definitely greater than butt in chair time.

This is also my impression of some billionaires. I found this article about the work ethic of some famous people: https://www.inc.com/business-insider/work-ethic-of-super-successful-people.html

I wish the EPA had the kind of power it did in Ghostbusters (original).

I think of it as being similar to the fantasy genre - which often has things like oarks, trolls, etc. Billionaires are the oarks of romcoms. 😉

A classic!

I am, for better or worse, not often able to tell when I get gluten. Going GF did get rid of my migraines and interestingly my hangovers, but it can be hard for me to make a connection with what I've eaten. Do you happen to know if there are any good ways to test food before I try it? My current technique is to rely on people who can tell and follow their recommendations.

Thank you!! I'm in Washington state. I've found a few GF restaurants and am getting the hang of reading labels. Trader Joe's has been super helpful. But I'm all ears for any pro tips you may have. 😀
