While it's great to work out alone at the gym and focus intensely, having friends who encourage and support each other significantly boosts motivation. Eventually, those friends become rivals working towards the same goal, but this creates a synergistic effect where everyone grows together. Their physiques are truly amazing;... show more

It's been several months since I curbed my phone addiction and it is so profoundly noticeable that my happiness has dramatically increased. I completely dropped doom scrolling, the news, politics, brain rot, and limit social media to mine and my friends' posts only. All the general negativity on the internet is like living in a home where everyone argues and is upset, even if it doesn't involve you and you don't engage with it, just being exposed to it every day is mentally draining. It's subtle, it creeps up slowly, and you don't even realize how mentally taxing it truly is. Now imagine the feeling of living in a home where everyone is peaceful and laughs, the feeling is equally infectious. You can even test this out by watching Friends or The Big Bang Theory with and without the laugh track on YouTube; spoiler, it's painfully cringe without it. The effect surrounding vibes have on your emotions is so strong, and it's hard to notice most of the time. I now find myself having uncontrollable fits of laughter at least once a week, which used to be closer to once a year. It's important to note that the things triggering these fits of laughing were always there, the difference is that my perception has changed. It's figuratively like a laugh track is playing in the background and all of a sudden, everything is now funny. I'm not trying to preach and tell people how to live their lives, but it's something I felt compelled to share since it's helped me so much. The habit was hard to break because the algorithm is designed to adapt to every person and lock you in, but I did it by substituting the phone with other things I enjoy. Right now it's learning the guitar and swimming. I'm developing skills I've never had, and it only compounds the feeling of happiness.

Burnout hit me and ohnePixel hard this year- he stepped back from streaming, I stepped back from most of my activities as well. I am in a great spot personally, thanks to great friends and being able to stop running on autopilot. For me and Ohne to meet in Shanghai, having been partners in SkinBid and running DRILLAS whilst simultanously having struggled with the same things was a wholesome experience. My takeaway from the whole thing is a sense of community, Jesal Parekh dona and countless others who helped manage and support the project have been amazing. I did not feel like engaging in the drama, as it was evident to me that the main takeaway was that countless people enjoyed watching the journey, lots of smiles and laughter. To meet and spend time with the players was amazing. Highs and lows equally. Hope everyone will find their succes- they deserve it! Going to an RMR is always something special, this is the third for me- 2 with ECSTATIC ⚡️, meeting friends from the NA scene, familiar faces from talent and production, things like watching our game against FlyQuest with their manager and SoMe on friendly terms with mutual respect is something i LOVE- always great to connect with other teams and learn new things. I am back home, back to spending time on trading skins, ECSTATIC ⚡️ and SkinBid, lots of gratitude and encouragement from spending time with our amazing community!! & to everyone who is upset about too many EU players at the Asian RMR, I will do better next time and find a way to get 5 EU 😝!

Candace Owens says it’s very weird and creepy that Charlie’s friends and people who work for TPUSA are sometimes at the building where Erika Kirk lives. However we’re not supposed to find it creepy that she has people watching them everyday while they try to live their lives. In fact she just says “obviously” she has sources where Erika lives as if it’s just a normal thing when in reality it’s straight up psycho behavior. Candace tries so hard to make everything seem “weird” or “creepy” but the weirdest and creepiest part about all of this has actually been her and the things she’s said and done.

I don't have all the answers here, but I have thought about this a *lot*, so hopefully I have some: 1) Society needs both great men and Great Men. Every man should aspire to be the former; aspiring to the latter is unwise, as "the true road lies in quite another direction." 2) Life is WAY easier when you integrate your personal and professional life to the maximum degree. I try (extremely hard) to be the same person to my wife, kids, friends, co-workers, and strangers on the internet. Then fun time, family time, and work time can all use the same oh-so-finite minutes of the day! 2a) Tactically — bring your kids/family along with you on adventures. My kids have been to some incredibly non-kid-friendly places: space conferences, podcast recordings, industrial facilities, rocket launches, etc. And those adventures have been are some of my (and their!) most treasured memories. 3) You absolutely must become a morning person. Sorry. 4) I found that fatherhood was the ANSWER to my hunger in many ways. I was ambitious, certainly. But having kids made me realize that "ambition" is kinda fake; it's striving without a true end goal. (No, fame, riches, and "doing something important" are not true end goals.) 4a) As soon as you look your own child in the eyes — now THERE'S an end goal. Ineffable to anyone who hasn't had a kid, maybe, but I had an immediate, intense desire to keep my kids safe, and loved, and fulfilled. And a lifetime of anxious wondering if I was doing the right thing just washed away... there was the right thing, in my arms! 4b) Goals are awesome. I love goals. They are how I find motivation. But I have learned through a lot of trial and error that goals that focus on Me Me Me are unfulfilling even if I achieve them. Naked ambition is the ultimate Me Me Me goal... and it's much better to set goals about who you want to be to other people. (I need to write more about this; it's basically Alasdair Macintyre's read of Virtue Ethics, if folks are curious.) 4c) A tweet that has always stuck in my mind forever: "oh you're "high agency"? that's cool, what can other people rely on you for?" 5) If I've learned just one thing about "difficult" experiences in life, it's that as soon as you increase the difficulty level further, what you did before seems easy. Like the pre-kid life to me, now. Therefore, the answer to feeling like you can't possibly be a great dad and great in your career.... is to have even more kids!! (Kidding. Kinda.)

“Shokunin Spirit” & Trading Last year, while traveling, I saw a Japanese tour bus driver sitting in front of the wheels, carefully polishing them. He was waiting for his passengers and could have easily stayed on the bus to rest or play on his phone. But instead, he chose to clean the bus. At that moment, I understood why Japanese taxis and buses are always spotless and shining. That’s when I truly understood what “shokunin spirit” is all about—the dedication to excellence. I used to encourage people to aim for "financial freedom" or "F.I.R.E." as their goal when learning investing and trading. But in recent years, I’ve realized this approach is completely wrong because it puts the cart before the horse. Investing and trading are not easy. It takes more than just a few years to see results. It’s only those with a craftsman’s mindset—who are willing to constantly learn, refine their skills, and embrace challenges without focusing on immediate rewards—who have the best chance of succeeding. Financial freedom, in reality, is just a byproduct of this mindset. If your motivation is "financial freedom," it’s easy to feel frustrated and give up when progress is slow. But if you approach investing and trading with the craftsman spirit, you’ll see failures as part of the process and face them calmly, focusing on finding solutions instead of quitting. Successful traders (or entrepreneurs) don’t see "financial freedom" as their ultimate goal. Even after achieving it, their work and lifestyle often remain the same. What drives them is the craftsman spirit—the desire to keep excelling in the field they love and to push their boundaries. If you truly love your work and what you do, and you live each day fully, you don’t really need financial freedom. You’ve already found freedom in your mindset.

As much as I prepared myself, knowing SM for TaeKook was coming, once I heard the news, my heart sank. 😔 I am truly conflicted. On the one hand, I am upset and sad that it wasn't completely their choice and that they have to sacrifice themselves for 🏢 that I feel doesn't value them greatly as people and artists. At the same time, Taehyung and Jungkook will hopefully get relief from toxic fans, greedy business, and the dangerous people hounding them. I would have wanted things different for them, but I respect their ultimate choice given the circumstances, and I will continue to love and support them while they are doing their service and forevermore. Ultimately, I am comforted by the fact that #TaeKook kept their promise to go in together, meaning they'll also come out together (around the same time). This means they won't have to wait for each other alone for too long. I am confident they'll come back stronger, more focused, and freer than before, and reach greater heights in their personal and professional lives. 🙌🫂😏👌👑🐯👑🐰❤️🤍✌🏼🤟😁🖖🧬♾️

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtron

Astra (GPT-6) is here!!! I've had early access and tested it like crazy with things like games, code, writing, browser control, presentations and general knowledge work. This is the best model I've ever used. Period. (Incredible demos below in this thread ⬇️) Here's my take on Astra: > It's insanely capable. This feels like a massive improvement, not just an incremental change. This is especially true with zero-shot prompts. > It's all about knowledge work. Slide creation, analysis, writing, and browser control. And oh my...it's so good at browser control. GPT-5.6 was already fantastic at doing things in the browser, Astra is another level and significantly faster. > We're closer than ever (arrived?) at prompt-to-playable game. And I don't just mean only playable, these are actually fun games. I bet if someone with a great eye for games used Astra, they could create a viral game within 1-2 weeks. > Astra is better at writing but not perfect. It removes much of the "AI Smell" we're all familiar with but some stink still survived. > It has a tendency to use the same design colors and look/feel as GPT-5.6 (forrest green anyone?) but it is more steerable in design than previous models. > It's highly steerable in general. A little nudge goes a long way. When I first started using Astra, almost every task I gave it would go for ~30 minutes. I wanted it to keep working. Adding more specifics to a prompt helped greatly with it's ability to work for a long time. > Astra's 3D understanding is unmatched. 3D asset creation was consistent and easy and its spacial awareness while building complex 3D worlds blew me away. I'm still getting familiar with Astra but this will now be my go-to model for any difficult work I have. Check out the demos below: 👇

Managed to get out of Dubai. The following is my personal opinion & experience 🇦🇪 Everything went quite seamless. Careem cabs operate normally. The airport is extremely well organized, considering the circumstances. The world has changed since Saturday and unfortunately, the country I moved to 3 years ago has been under heavy attacks. Why? No one really knows. However, I find it extremely disturbing that most media - including our beloved CT - exploits that serious situation to take cheap shots at Dubai and people who moved here. There are real families and hard working people affected. Most are scared or feel extremely uncomfortable. It's a traumatizing experience to hear missile interceptions right above your house. Nothing I wish for any human to ever experience, no matter if you pay 0% or 50% taxes. I don't even know what the link between those two things should be?? If anything, it proves that the UAE cares about their people and is able to protect its residents. Even at 0% income tax. Dubai was not known for it's strong military. It was always portrayed to be bling-bling golden steaks and influencers. But the UAE has shown the entire world that it can defend 1,000+ drones and 200+ missiles from a direct neighbor. That is impressive, whether you love or hate the UAE. Many countries would likely not be able to absorb that. So, if anything: Dubai and the UAE have demonstrated that the system works. I have lived in multiple countries around the world and the UAE is by far the most capable of handling crisis. Why did I leave Dubai then? Because it's not a situation I want to be in. Missile interceptions and drone explosions are no joke. Besides the danger that debris could hit your roof, there's an incredible intensity in the air. Most describe it as "intense calmness". While the Government managed to keep everyone from panicking, it's impossible for everyone to stay fully calm. And you can feel that in the day to day. The first night I got virtually no sleep. The night of my departure neither. I haven't left my house at all after the attacks started. But I'm out now. I really hope that leaving the country wasn't necessary, and that I will be able to come back to Dubai as soon as possible. And no, I'm not paid to say this, nor did I sign anything. Maybe part of the truth why no one who lives in Dubai has bad things to say about it is because it's one of the rare places on earth where people actually trust the Government and respect them? Not only for creating wealth and understanding business, but for caring and communicating in a way most other countries are simply incapable of. Anyways, I guess the point of this post is to 1) Tell everyone in Dubai that it's possible to leave right now. I know many people are very scared and want to get out. Be persistent with the airline if they cancel your flight and push hard to get rebooked on the next available one. And maybe choose a destination that isn't Europe, considering most of these flights are overbooked already and impossible to get on. 2) Dubai's self defense is impressive and we should acknowledge that. At least this one time, let's not derail into irrelevant discussions but show respect to the leaders + express empathy for those affected. 3) As an expat living in Dubai, I can still feel proud of my home country and do not have to choose. This isn't a black and white situation. Dubai is a melting pot of cultures and great place for Business. Other countries have better nature, social life or other things. It's also up to individual preference. 4) If you hate Dubai, yalla you don't need to live here, visit nor speak about it. Enjoy the place you live in and focus on your own. No need to feel triggered and take cheap shots at hard working people and families that are currently under heavy missile attacks. One final thing that really became clear to me this week is that after all, safety, health and living in freedom are absolutely priceless. May this all be over with soon and for sustaining peace to come in 🤲🏼

It was always portrayed to be bling-bling golden steaks and influencers. But the UAE has shown the entire world that it can defend 1,000+ drones and 200+ missiles from a direct neighbor. That is impressive, whether you love or hate the UAE. Many countries would likely not be able to absorb that. So, if anything: Dubai and the UAE have demonstrated that the system works. I have lived in multiple countries around the world and the UAE is by far the most capable of handling crisis. Why did I leave Dubai then? Because it's not a situation I want to be in. Missile interceptions and drone explosions are no joke. Besides the danger that debris could hit your roof, there's an incredible intensity in the air. Most describe it as "intense calmness". While the Government managed to keep everyone from panicking, it's impossible for everyone to stay fully calm. And you can feel that in the day to day. The first night I got virtually no sleep. The night of my departure neither. I haven't left my house at all after the attacks started. But I'm out now. I really hope that leaving the country wasn't necessary, and that I will be able to come back to Dubai as soon as possible. And no, I'm not paid to say this, nor did I sign anything. Maybe part of the truth why no one who lives in Dubai has bad things to say about it is because it's one of the rare places on earth where people actually trust the Government and respect them? Not only for creating wealth and understanding business, but for caring and communicating in a way most other countries are simply incapable of. Anyways, I guess the point of this post is to 1) Tell everyone in Dubai that it's possible to leave right now. I know many people are very scared and want to get out. Be persistent with the airline if they cancel your flight and push hard to get rebooked on the next available one. And maybe choose a destination that isn't Europe, considering most of these flights are overbooked already and impossible to get on. 2) Dubai's self defense is impressive and we should acknowledge that. At least this one time, let's not derail into irrelevant discussions but show respect to the leaders + express empathy for those affected. 3) As an expat living in Dubai, I can still feel proud of my home country and do not have to choose. This isn't a black and white situation. Dubai is a melting pot of cultures and great place for Business. Other countries have better nature, social life or other things. It's also up to individual preference. 4) If you hate Dubai, yalla you don't need to live here, visit nor speak about it. Enjoy the place you live in and focus on your own. No need to feel triggered and take cheap shots at hard working people and families that are currently under heavy missile attacks. One final thing that really became clear to me this week is that after all, safety, health and living in freedom are absolutely priceless. May this all be over with soon and for sustaining peace to come in 🤲🏼

3 years ago Refik Anadol & Efsun, together with the royal family of the forest, the Yawanawa, dreamed of a project that could share the crossover of traditional indigenous art with futuristic pigments of AI. They dreamed of building a community to not only host their family, but also bring together their indigenous brothers and sisters from around the world. Aldeia Sagrada was reimagined. We 1OF1 are very honoured & deeply grateful that Refik Anadol & the Yawanawa family have chosen us to be the steward of their historic collaborative art work, the Winds of Yawanawa 1of1. Last week my family & I had the privilege to join Indigenous Nations from across the Amazon basin & around the world as they came together for a truly historic & deeply beautiful moment at the Indigenous Ayahuasca Conference in Acre, Brasil, where Indigenous leaders shared their ancient wisdom, beautiful art & wonderful energy with each other. As someone who has built infra in Brazil, I can confirm that what Refik Anadol and the Yawanawa family have built in Aldeia Sagrada is absolutely breathtaking & indescribable. The infrastructure & organization of their wonderful community is incredible. They have proven to the world a model for synergistic alliances between traditional Indigenous nations with new technologists, creatives and builders that can both massively support these native communities as well as celebrate the preservation of their way of life. I found myself overwhelmed with emotion at points throughout the week witnessing how amazing this place and these people are. It is with all of the lessons of 1OF1’s global tours in hand & our hearts filled with a deep sense of mission, that we commit to share this iconic work of art with the world in conversation with other works of Amazonian indigenous art. We promise to share the inspiring message of the Yawanawa across the globe through the power of art.

🐾😸I'm happy to tell you that today I was able to buy more tinned tuna for the cats, and the cost was the lowest it's been in months. This is thanks to the wonderful friends who have continued their support for us, and I want to sincerely thank you all. I can't explain enough how wonderful it feels when I can feed more of the hungry cats I see around. Since the war stopped, many animals have wandered back into our streets, and they are starving and urgently need our help. They are constantly on my mind, especially at night in the cold. They barely have any body fat to keep them warm, and the nights are starting to become unbearably cold. This also makes me think of all the poor people living outside, some in tents and some without, freezing and hungry. We want to help them, my friends, please do not hesitate to donate towards our cause so we can help them and the animals too. I truly appreciate everything you do for us and for all the people of 🇵🇸🌿#Gaza who have been through and continue to endure hell, and I wish you all a happy and healthy week in front of you.. 🫂 My Family Survival Fund + Looking after the Cats 🐾🐈🥺🫂 Our Cruelty Free Kitchen 🫂🙏🇵🇸 Our Water Project 💧🙏

EXCLUSIVE: A Sharia compliant all Muslim and men’s only gym is now operating in the DMV area. For those who are not familiar, the DMV area is the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. The gym is called “Sabeel Fitness” and it’s located in Scaggsville, Maryland. The gym advertises itself as the “first halal gym in the DMV” to combat “Fitnah” seen in gyms in America. In Islam, Fitnah is temptation, persecution, sedition, or civil strife. The founder of the gym said he created the gym as a “safe space” for Muslims to workout in so they don’t have to be surrounded by Haram people dressed immodestly and “listen to Music”. In other words, these Muslims don’t want to assimilate and they want to have Sharia compliant businesses in America. This is illegal. Sabeel Fitness requires you to be a Muslim and a man to join, and they do not allow for any music to be played inside the gym unless it’s Islamic prayer music. The gym also bans all women from attending. This Sharia gym currently offering a free week to recruit more Muslim men to workout at Sabeel Fitness. Their message to men is that it’s “Haram” to workout in the same gym as women because of the way women dress. This gym is advocating for segregation of men and women and discrimination by denying non-Muslims from working out. The purpose of the gym is to spread Sharia Law and to teach Muslim men that their bodies do not belong to them, but instead belong to Allah. This is Sharia law. Sharia Law has no place in our country, yet it’s operating miles away from our nation’s capital. Harmeet K. Dhillon Coach Tommy Tuberville Rep. Chip Roy Press Office Congressman Randy Fine

A gym asked to repost their workout video. Eight months later, that same gym pays them $10,400 a month. Two friends run one Instagram account together, split down the middle. It started as a joke — a place to dump their workout clips so they'd stop flooding their personal pages. Then the gym they train at reposted one video. Then asked for more. Then offered to pay. That was the whole beginning. One local gym, a small monthly fee to keep their feed looking alive. Here's what they figured out fast: gyms are desperate for content and terrible at making it. Beautiful equipment, dead Instagram. The two of them already film every session anyway — so they started pointing the camera at what the gym needed and handing it over as a finished feed. Now they run it like a tiny agency. Three gyms and two activewear brands pay them to produce a month of content each — reels, captions, the posting calendar, the whole thing. The part that makes it possible with two people and full-time jobs: AI does the 90% that used to need a team. They film. Claude does the rest — cuts one session into 20 clips, writes captions in each client's voice, builds the 30-day calendar, drafts the monthly report that keeps every contract renewed. What used to take an editor, a copywriter, and an SMM manager now runs while they're getting coffee after the workout. 5 clients. Around $2,000 each. $10,400 a month. Their cost to run all of it: under $60. That number doesn't move whether they have 5 clients or 15 — that's the entire model. The wild part is how ordinary they are. No huge following. No personal brand. Two normal girls who train together and realized the footage they were already making was worth money to someone else. Every friend group at every gym is filming the same content for fun and letting it die in their camera roll. These two just asked one gym if it wanted to buy it. The full breakdown — how two people turn shared workouts into a real content business — is in the thread above. Read it before another duo in your city signs those gyms first.

My article this Friday is about the value of true friendship in our lives: Friendship is one of the most beautiful and important relationships a person can experience. From childhood to old age, friends play a vital role in shaping our personalities, supporting our mental well-being, and making our life's journey more meaningful. True friendship goes beyond simply sharing a few laughs; It's a deep, unwritten bond built on mutual trust, unwavering loyalty, and unconditional respect. In our fast-paced digital world, the definition of a true friend has, unfortunately, become somewhat blurred. Social media platforms allow us to connect with hundreds of fleeting acquaintances with the click of a button. However, thousands of online followers cannot replace the profound value of a few real friends. A true friend is someone who truly understands your past, unwaveringly believes in your future, and accepts you as you are today. They are the people who stand firmly by your side in your darkest hours, not just your happiest moments. From a psychological perspective, strong and supportive friendships directly improve the quality of our lives. Humans are social beings by nature and need deep emotional connections to grow and thrive. When we face life's challenges, such as work pressures, personal loss, or academic stress, talking to a trusted friend can significantly alleviate anxiety and psychological burdens. Friends provide a safe space to express our deepest thoughts without fear of harsh criticism. Moreover, a true friend is a mirror to us, offering honest advice and constructive feedback that helps us grow and develop. True friendship also brings pure joy, shared adventures, and unforgettable memories to our daily lives. Whether it's celebrating important achievements, traveling to new places, or simply sitting together in peace and comfort, these shared experiences are among our most precious moments. They motivate us to pursue our personal goals and remind us that we are never alone in this vast world. In conclusion, true friends are rare treasures that we should cherish, protect, and nurture. While wealth, career status, and material possessions may come and go, a true friend remains a constant source of support. We should always invest our time and effort in maintaining these valuable relationships. Ultimately, life is not measured by the number of years we live, but by the love, laughter, and loyal friends we share it with. Thank you, my friends, for reading, and I look forward to your comments below the tweet, whether positive or negative. Thank you again, your sincere friend, Khaled.

Why is the national guard handing out coffee and donuts? The ret*rds among the Amerimutt right don't understand why the National Guard of Minnesota are giving out donuts and coffee to the locals in Minneapolis. They're too inexperienced to understand basic COIN principles. You must win over the locals. You have to meet with them, create every opportunity to connect. Make them like you and do it in a genuine, and human way. Once you do that 90% of your operations are basically done. This is how the US gets to stay in extremely dangerous places around the world, and the unit responsible for it is CAPOC. It's manned by extremely charismatic and intelligent officers. Every event and encounter is accounted for, studied and eventually every loss is turned into a win. In Vietnam era terminology it's called winning hearts and minds. The majority of humans, by their core nature, are unwilling to attack a friendly face. Furthermore, when they connect with someone, genuinely, they are unlikely to betray them most of the time. Stack these events and the likelihood of immersion with the locals becomes high. Then you facilitate your strategic objectives, without any interference from the locals, because they're already on your side. What you don't do is a road-side execution, fit for a terror organisation. This doesn't just lose you the locals but creates an environment where people around the world want to actively see you harmed, or lose. Every local you kill has hundreds of friends and potentially thousands of associations. Do this enough times and the entire city will want to hunt you down. So, while the e-right laugh at the competent national guard, they're busy winning, one hot coffee, one donut, one hand shake and one conversation at a time.
