I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.
Some people are unhappy and always will be and deserve to be.

I teach fencing to both kids and adults. Both are challenging in different ways. Teaching adults is fun. Teaching kids is a joy.

It's unfortunate there isn't a better gender neutral term for swordsmanship. Fencing isn't exactly the same thing always. Swordfighter is okay, but implies a level of brutality that isn't always present or desired. Swordplayer, maybe? Anyone got any ideas?

I dunno, man, the "you guys are being too mean to the plagiarism machines that stole all your work and were created to try to replace you so rich people don't pay you a tiny fraction of their wealth for it" posters popping up are pretty funny

I'm increasingly convinced that the success of people like Musk, Bezos, and Zuck isn't due to any business acumen or intelligence. Instead, it's
