Honestly, I’m the opposite type of poor user, that only bothers checking analytics on an annual basis. I *think* my sanity’s better off, but I’ve lost that bet before.

I especially enjoyed the interview you did, so many books you mentioned that overlapped, with my own past youth, which seemed extraordinary given our age differences, and I can't remember the last time anyone mentioned the Screwtape letters.

It’s a fighting game for people that find Mortal Kombat too subtle and bland. I love it, but the difficulty bar to entry is somewhere on the third floor.

I originally only had the running example, but felt it left a few too many people out. Then my non-brain decided that enterprising people have suffered through either fighting games or cardio. Which, regardless of actual truth content, had the classic Colbert truthiness to it.

I've been made aware that the only correct way to run is to be an unhinged Welshman screaming about rock albums in the rainy woods.

I looked up Roman Cancel and the "Everything you need to know" video was very accessible. My only criticism is that it took until minute six to explain what the hell a cancel was.
