And because working in an office every day is the biggest waste of breath, at least for me. Driving here, sitting in a tiny room all day, doing work for clients. I hate every part of it. I need to start working out and not drive anymore. Let me tell you about some conclusions I've came to in the past month. [1] We're ALL being lied to, constantly by the US government. (NSA spying is the biggest example of an incredibly illegal, GIGANTIC problem that was and is still lied about or misinformed. If they did that and lied about it, what else could these bureaucracys of our government be doing that is equally or substantially more unethical. There are more examples, the CIA participating in the Cocaine trade. Thats not a theory, it's proven on paper. In memphis where MLK was shot, it was legally found in the court of law that his death was the result of a conspiracy between the Mob and at least one member of the police. HMMMM).

It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie. |

There's too many actors in LA. I mean, I'll go out there from time to time, but I always find it pretty soul-destroying. I don't drive, and the people kind of rub me the wrong way. It's just not home. You know? It's not New York. It's not... my town. |

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There's still time, but not a lot, to turn things around. |

We live in a culture that relishes tearing others down. It's ultimately more fulfilling, though, to help people reach their goals. Instead of feeling jealous, remember: If God did it for them, He can do it for you. |

Oh yeah people recognize me, but the craziest thing? I mean I've had the normal autographs... but I had to sign a baby's carriage once. I thought that was weird, so yeah, I guess that's the craziest thing. |

Bunting is usually a waste of time. The - generally, yeah, I mean, if you think about it, bunt is the only play in baseball that both sides applaud. The - if the home team bunts, you get a base. The home team applauds because they get an out, and the other team applauds because they get a base. So what does that tell you? |

If you were a Colombian, you would have your version of an empanada. If you are an Argentinean, you might find a dough that's baked and has a butter sheen on it. And then in Ecuador, you'll find more crispy-fried empanadas. So, yeah, every culture has their own version of empanadas. |

Even though I spent the first five years of my life in Nagasaki, going to Japan can be really difficult. Even if they know I've been brought up in the West, they still expect me to understand all the subtleties of their culture, and if I get it wrong, it matters much more than if a British person gets it wrong. I find it intimidating. |

When you say something or sing something enough times, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's almost like casting spells. I don't mean necessarily in the flighty, 'I'm going to go buy a cloak with a hood now' way. |

What does it mean to a successful woman today? Does it mean you have to be a mother? If you are a mother, does it mean you have to be a mother with a husband? If you don't have a husband, what is the role that the man plays? I think there are a lot of confusing things that we're all really still sorting out. |

Does a painful awareness of your own mortality help you lead a more fulfilling life? If it does, how do you keep it from stressing you out?

Eh, yeah. I pretty much stopped using reddit. I think it is just a huge time sink.

Qualtrics doesn't let you force a response on all questions. Pretty lame, right? What am I supposed to do when I generate a survey for crowd-sourcing but I don't want to manually go through hundreds of questions to add validation?
Well, here is the hacky solution.
1. Set validation on one question.
2. Export the survey. This downloads the survey as a QSF file.
3. Open QSF file in a text editor and find the validation you set for that one question.

Sometimes people are like "Why do you do drugs? Can't you find fun and enlightenment on your own?" And I'm like yeah of course I can. I could start a fire with flint and steel too, but God invented matches for a reason.

today I was asked in an interview "who cares about your research outside of academia" to which I think my first response was "you know what? my friends"
