Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t live in capitalism. We live in corporate socialism. If you’re a corporation, you can buy a politician to get that politician to rig the system for you so you make more money and you ex out every other market in which you compete. You need good healthcare. You need a good education. We need childcare. We need good roads and bridges. We don’t need to send our money to big corporations to subsidize them, we need to be invested in people so they have the human capital to be able to do all the things as they graduate and come out”

i was 14yo, undead mage, freshly lvl 60
late at night, a group was looking for a mage
i was the only one answering
that’s how i ended up in my first raid
i lied to get in, told them it wasn’t my first time
my rotation was shit, gear completely unoptimized
but i listened and followed every order
end of the raid, the guild master asks me to jump on a 1-1 voice chat
he basically tells me i’m dead last in dps and that it’s not normal
i won’t be invited again and blacklisted
so i tell him
i lied to you because i just wanted to join a group and play with people
what do i need to do to come back next time?
he gives me a todo list
farm these items
get these enchants
watch this guide and learn your rotation
you have 3 days
“come back after that, i’ll check everything”
i barely slept for 3 days
came back almost full pre-bis, fully enchanted, rotation learned
ended up #3 dps
still not perfect
but the guild master saw the commitment and offered me a spot in the second roster
i listened, executed and came back stronger
at 14yo
few weeks later i became a recruiter for the guild
learned a lot through that process
A kid who knows how to raid in WoW is unironically a better hire than 99% of non gamers. They develop team skills, coordination, leadership, how to master the respect of 40 people, how to share loot, maintaining a raid schedule, showing up on time, clear direct communication, how to get along with unique personalities, creating and executing on strategies, failing and trying again (perseverance), delayed gratification, etc. Invaluable skills are developed during raiding that are transferrable to the real world.

Polish 26 year old guitar master Marcin Patrzałek respond to those who have made public comments claiming that his music is fake.
He made this video in a tutorial form showing how he manages to play so extraordinarily well in response. And yes, it's all played on one guitar.

Trump just now, on a deceased 9/11 rescuer:
"The Man in the Red Bandana. Have you heard of him? He's become more famous than me. I don't like it. Very unhappy. But he's become much more famous than me."
Expect zero condemnation from the GOP on this.
