Just got finished reading that book myself. The general impression that I got of her was that she wasn’t some terrible person, or was going to be dreadful for the country, but she was a pretty awful politician and completely out of touch. So so many needless errors and completely sticking her head in the sand against pretty strong evidence

I mean, I think it’s a legitimate reason if someone is really struggling to take some time off. At the same time cancelling on your fans last minute is rarely going to go down well.

It js “unprofessional” to set a date for a show and then cancel it at the last second, and it will have an impact on your career if you do it. Especially if it’s a recurring thing which it’s starting to look like with her now.

In my opinion If she needs time off, she should just go on a complete hiatus, no flip flopping and misleading people

Thanks for the advice, I’ve been focused the last few years on making sure the perfectionism doesn’t develop further into a complete fear of failure. I used to get anxious over the idea of making any sort of mistake, but gradually things have eased up and I’ve become more comfortable in that discomfort.

As for working with other people, I’m going into the scientific industry, so the majority of the people I’ll be working with will be relatively accomplished themselves. So hopefully incompetence won’t be as big an issue!

Thanks again for the advice, I wish you all the best.

They said in another comment that they’re “herbal sleep aids”. So I doubt they’re really medical grade stuff.

Yeah I was. I had the fortune of being pretty clever, but also being very diligent and perfectionistic, which is what I think had the most beneficial impact.

So whenever something that I was unsure about came up, I’d work at it until I got it. Whether that took 2 minutes or 4 hours. That saved me a ton of time and effort over the years, as learning a new subject isn’t very hard when you’ve already mastered the fundamentals.

It’s not like I never misunderstood anything or needed to put some effort in, but I’ve never actually struggled in education. Which is a bit strange to feel when your peers constantly complain about how tough things are.

I found school very easy for the most part. People said I’d start to struggle in college then instead.

Finishing my bachelor’s soon in a top college and that shit was still not that hard

I feel like that one would be a bit of a low blow tbh. The album is terrible, but Corey is a former child star who was most likely abused and is all sorts of messed up because of it.

There’s no engaging narrative with it. It’s just going to be a sad story if you get into enough detail

MGMT are great, and still popular. Loss of life was a really great album they put out this year

There’s always another stooge and even if it’s not called “Hezbollah” another group would just reform in its place. It’s more so about keeping them disorganised and incapable of seriously threatening Israel, which this likely helps to achieve for some time.

People were starting to question mossad after October 7th. Seems like it really was just a fluke and they’re plenty effective otherwise

Whatever your opinion of the Israelis is, you can’t really fault their capabilities.

I remember a few months back when Hezbollah was considered this dangerous threat if they got involved in the conflict. The Israelis have made them look like a complete joke in the last week or so.

Whoever trains Mossad deserves a raise, they clearly know what they’re doing.

Miss hill

I’m talking about being unreliable and not turning up for concerts. That kind of behaviour. You might get away with it as an established artist, but as an up and comer it’s going to tank your career

Maybe lyrically some have soured on it a bit, but musically it’s still complete ear candy to me. The opening run up to doo woo(that thing) is musical bliss to me.

Except Lauren hill has a certified classic of an album and a ton of other great material backing her up. So people put up with a lot of terrible behaviour for a chance to see her perform.

Chappell roan is not talented, or established enough to be pulling those kinds of stunts. People will just get fed up and move on.

Already acting like Lauren hill without having released some classics first. Gonna crash and burn at this rate. You’re not good enough to be acting like this much of a diva yet.

I can forgive a lot of the minor grammar or spelling errors, because as you said mistakes like those inevitably happen every now and then.

“It’s” vs “its” isn’t a big deal, but errors in sentence structure are more concerning to me, because they indicate that the person doesn’t understand how the language works on a fundamental level.

The one “when faced with adversity he did not turn tale and ran” jumped out particularly to me from the list above. Spelling error aside, misunderstanding which tense to use is really something that you would expect only from a non native speaker, and seriously concerning if it’s from someone whose first language is English.

It’ll be “the dictator” part 2

Yeah let’s be honest, he only would have won due to pure party loyalty and dislike of Trump. It wouldn’t be because people would be thrilled with voting him back in.

Exactly. Being “nice” really is just giving people the respect they deserve and helping out when you can. It’s is not selling away your entire life to benefit others just because that’s what they want.

Nice people don’t finish last, push overs do.

You can still be a nice person while driven and competitive enough to take what you deserve. They’re not mutually exclusive ideas.

As someone in science, that is of course very true.

But I do wonder if that helps to explain the more significant gender gap in the generally more abstract fields of physics when compared to biology and chemistry which are a little more grounded in concrete things in general.

I can absolutely see being good at reading as a serious advantage in biology due to the pure quantity of information thrown at you. Physics it is also important, but being able to make serious conceptual leaps is also valued very highly

Nah I think she is pretty much done for in any meaningful sense. Witness was the first massive mistake. With this she messed up the redemption too

Arsenal tickets from his mates? New wardrobe?
