I just realized I do this too. I need to hit myself with a folding chair.

He is. Shoot your shot, kid
Makes total sense!
Research has been done on how our minds process “gratification” and studies have shown that merely telling others about about what we’re planning to accomplish feels almost exactly the same as actually accomplishing it.
As soon as you get that pat on the back from someone else about the progress you’ve made, your mind feels like it’s received your external reward already, so it doesn’t see a reason why it should continue doing the hard work of creating.
Next time, try intentionally NOT talking with others about a project you’re working on until it’s 100% complete. See if that helps keep you motivated.
We sometimes play an improv game called “1-2-3 WORD”.
The goal is to get 2 players to shout the same word at the same time. Best if played in a group of 3 or more, but the bigger the group, the better.
You start the game someone throwing out a word for inspiration (ex: “pizza”).
To play the game, two players next to each other face each other and simultaneously shout “1-2-3 {WORD}”, where {WORD} is the word/phrase which first comes to mind when each player thinks of the inspiration word (“pizza”).
If the 2 players happen to shout the same {WORD}, the game ends. If the 2 players each say a different {WORD}, play moves clockwise 1 position to the next player and the new inspiration are the {WORDS} which the prior 2 players said. You may not reuse words previously said.
It is a very quick game that can be played on car trips and usually gets a laugh when you finally get a pair that says the same word. It’s also helpful to go AS FAST AS YOU CAN in saying the words. The idea behind the game is to get in sync with the other players so you’re all starting to think alike.
Example: Players - 4 Inspiration word - PIZZA
Player 1 & Player 2 face off: P1 word - “Cheese!” P2 word - “Dominoes!”
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - CHEESE and DOMINOES
P2 word - “Bread sticks!” P3 word - “Board games!” (because “dominoes isnt just a pizza company, it’s also a board game and that very well could be a conclusion someone could draw from the inspiration words)
Words don’t match, so next round begins: Inspiration words - BREADSTICKS and BOARD GAMES
P3 word - “Game night!” P4 word - “Game night!”
Words match, so the game ends!
It usually takes MUCH longer than 3 rounds to match up (unless siblings are facing off - it’s best to separate close friends so the game doesn’t end too early).
Look, I’ll be honest with you: I don’t know how this is going to go. You’ll have plenty of opportunity to be a fly on the wall.
That said, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to put yourself out there, too. By asking for a dance, you’re communicating “I’m here to have fun”. Try to say that to as many people as you can and you’ll have a blast.
Also, Salsa is so dang easy to do the basic step. 90% of the Latin dances I’ve been to have been just doing the basic step for the whole song and looking at people around me for inspiration of moves to try.
You’re gonna do great.
Damn. It’s amazing to read some of the HIPAA and FERPA fines out there for exposing data accidentally. Then you’ve got this kind of breach, which is probably endemic and at a much larger scale.
Great read
FUCK
…stop cluckin around back here! We’ve got customers to serve.
Pretty on-brand for a food engineer… Any chef will tell you don’t start on the top dusting of a tiramisu until you’ve used your microcrane to complete all the other layers.
There just begging for a smudged topcoat smdh
Napalm from petrol and styrofoam
This one is underrated. That shit is like college-level difficult
Always nice to meet a fellow adventurer. See you in South Pront 👍
Oh shit - good to know!
So I have to bluetooth my mobile device to the restaurant’s point of sale app?
Now if I could only bypass the float only input field…
Off the grid it is, then
Doritos are probably plenty powerful enough
Bruh, I don’t really.
I learn what I need for whatever project I’m working on and if someone mentions some new tool as part of potential future project, I google that.
I’m probably a bad example tho. I have no hustle.
