oh my god, shut UP. Our right to free speech is about to be taken away by the RESTRICT act anyways.

literally, shut up. kids are DYING and all youre doing is whining about guns because you have to just have your boom boom toy that you have no reason to own besides the false sense of security it gives you.

why i'm even bothering to respond to you, i dont know. have your hunting riffles, have your hand guns, but somethings gotta give.

Reply to What happened when the one time you ignored your gut feeling? by Josaphagustriangle41

I don't ignore my "gut". When something feels off it, I figure out what I observed or logically concluded subconsciously that cause the feeling. As far as i can tell, a "gut" feeling isn't based on nothing, it's based on fear of something that we aren't consciously aware we should fear or at the very least be cautious of. I can only imagine the "gut" feeling serves a purpose and has allowed for our survival as a species. If my body is telling me something isn't right, then I trust it. It has been designed to promote my survival.

Reply to What's the most important attribute to be successful in life? by UncleRickyLF

I am in my 50s and I have several friends I grew up with that own many houses and are “successful”, and others that are kinda surviving just ok. It’s not always the norm, but getting up early is a common thread amongst the successful. Those extra couple hours a day, add up to 1000s of hours of productivity that adds up over decades. Whether it’s getting up to go for a run, walking the dog,or to get to work early when few people are there to get things done, most of them all get up early, even on the weekends.

Also, people who get up early normally have a “plan” for the day instead of scrambling around because you are running late.
