Don’t know if you guys heard about this but dota was designed by psychologists

Drugs were designed by Ronald Reagan and hes a bona fide american hero

the worst point to be at with your drug use is:
When you start to believe you wouldnt be making mistakes if you were on drugs, or thinking that you are doing worse because you are without.

and yes dota is very bad for you.

but you still owe and guess what? it aint gonna pay its self no matter how much you defer it.

if you cant pay your real debts cuz u broke you can bankrupt that shit, which actually saves a lot of people from horrible fates.

i’ll admit im fucked on dota. I tried not playing a lot of times but i find myself sitting at home.
my other favorite thing to do is drive my 2005 manual transmission subaru forester, but im really just burning money that way.

I am also a green user so theres that.

i spend a lot of time researching shit and learning new things though so i havent decayed mentally that much. Work keeps me pretty busy too.

Can someone please watch and distill the essential information for me

I don’t like joe rogand and I’m definitely not watching 2 hours of this shit

yeah I can’t stand the show either honestly

He’s kind of a doofus

I guess considering all the different youtube shit/radio shit I’ve watched/listened to he’s probably less of a blowhard and less full of himself than many. Maybe he deserves more of a chance

But pretty much all of these guys get way too used to the sound of their own voices and its awful

The strength of traditional journalism/podcasts from more mainstream old-world sources is that they knew the casual viewers were there for the story and not some insane cult of personality shit like everything’s becoming in the modern day

Maybe that statement’s not even correct though - see nyt op-eds

Just a lot of bad shit in the world guys what can i say

I just read New Yorker and drug subreddits and I don’t listen to any talk show type stuff

the drug subreddits are terrible too but it’s like still inoffensive compared to most other subject matter for me

the new Yorker often provides tragic stories that help me stay thankful for my relatively super ez life

like that recent article on healthcare in jail oh boy that was a doozy of pitiable

but then sometimes they tell the life stories of cool people and I get real jealous

double edged sword I guess

i pretty much try to avoid reddit at this point. regret it almost every time i go on /r/all

yeah it’s just full of angry argumentative nerds

all the comments sections suck

half the stuff linked is depressing or there to feed superiority complexes

I just like oddlysatisfying, gifs, and degen shit

askreddit threads that attract funny stories are good too

reddit ruins a lot of good games, because developers think thats where the core of their player base is.
