Wow at like 34-36mins what Malice says about being in your mid 20s working hard, “being good” and feeling so surprised by the silence & lack of anyone acknowledging it. That was profound and exactly how I feel at 26. Nonetheless we stay being good & helping one person at a time, solving one puzzle at a time, all alone... so be it ! Thank you.

      This saying was credited to Albert Camus in one of its earliest known appearances in December 1971. Oddly, the earliest instances were presented in English and not French. Camus died in 1960; hence, the evidence linking Camus to the expression was very weak. Great line, but it should be designated as anonymous.

      From what I've learned from life is that there's gonna be highs and lows. But if you learn from your mistakes and make proactive decisions to make your life better, it will be better. The only thing holding you back is you. Live well, friend.

      Bc he's such a damn contrarian he argues with your damn question. He adds no value to any conversation, he just disagrees with you about every little thing and things that matter to no one. He thinks everyone is so interested in him or what he thinks. Ppl are mistakenly identifying this man as some kind of thinker when in reality he's an idiot savant. Damnit. I am living in a different universe, is there anyone else in this forum that agrees with me? In the twilight zone over here. Wtf is that movie where the guy is the only one who sees the demons in ppl? And he's going crazy? I'm not saying malice is a demon. He's just really annoying. Someone gave the annoying kid on the spectrum a publisher and loud speaker.

      I like how lex will slip in some quick brutal jabs at Malice without missin a beat in the same tone of voice. When they show Malice react its funny because it's like he heard it, then disregarded it but then realized he actually did crack a joke on him. Lex ain't completely deadpan but he often does speak and shows body language that is quite odd/unique when compared to someone else talking about the same thing in the same Context.

    My Grandfather’s mother was from Belarus, moved here in the 1920’s, he always told us from her “To be beautiful you have to suffer.” I think it can be interpreted in many ways. The family was very “Russian,” super loving in their way, hard working, lived a hard life, and were very unique. Their hard work paid off in the end.

    My favorite 2021 moment was the 4th of July. In my area and many places around America the canceled firework celebrations because of Covid 19.
    What gathering could be easier to social distance at? In response many people had bbqs in their own yard and blew off their own fireworks. In my area police were darting around town responding to nosy neighbors. After only an hour or so they stood down and parked on the main roads.
    Neighbors shared food and drinks while their kids played catch and road bikes. Then around 10pm most everyone cleaned up and went inside. Civil disobedience is beautiful.
