As a recovering Catholic, my experience has been that Lutherans tend to be humble, charitable, and... not weird. Lutheranism puts a heavy emphasis on showing grace to yourself and people around you. I guess without the obsession with sex and shame, you can be a Christian and turn out pretty normal.

He said something like, "You don't supervise the lunch room for 19 years and come out with a full head of hair."

A friend of mine worked for a FAANG company and he taught me that people get promoted for creating something "new" rather than improving something that already exists.

He's always been a fake. Claims to be "just calling balls and strikes" but actually has a center-right agenda. He had a good parlay in 2008 and people have been treating him like a sorcerer ever since.

A friend who worked at Meta said pretty concisely, "You get rewarded for coming up with something new, not improving something old."

A few years back Dana White said he was going to crack down on illegal UFC streams. Then one night at a press conference he announced, "You guys remember the guy I was talking about who was doing the illegal streams? WE GOT HIM. He apologized and promised he'll never do it again." These losers are completely out of touch.

"We've all been there. You want to make a large batch of cookies for friends or family, but your KitchenAid stand mixer stopped working. When your KitchenAid stand mixer stops working, it inevitably leads to frustration. This is a common problem. Fortunately, there is a solution. I'll show you a quick and easy way to fix your KitchenAid stand mixer when it stops working.

Is there any way to confirm this? Or are there examples of artists who made a significant amount of money from NFTs? I understand its potential benefit for artists, but I mostly remember already-rich corporations (e.g. UFC) using them as another way to extract money from consumers.

Definitely reduces performance, but there are some AAA games I can play at 1080/60fps with no issues.

You don't know the circumstances under which she had kids. I understand your point that they didn't ask to be born, but if that's the case are they just going to be bitter freeloaders to punish her?
