Which brings us to what I know that others don't... I am always right.

The nozzle-and-hose side of the "low fuel" indicator (which is usually presented as an icon depicting a gas pump) doesn't consistently correspond with the side of the car where the fuel door is to be found, nor does its placement on the instrument array (left side versus right side) tell whether you should bring the passenger's or driver's side up next to the pumps at your local gas station.
...
However, while the placement or shape of the fuel icon doesn't signify anything in itself, nearly all newer models of automobiles do include a small triangle next to it that indicates which side of the vehicle bears the fuel door. While you can't count on finding that triangle on every single instrument panel, it's certainly worth looking for.
This knowledge makes us better than the unwashed masses.
Exercising to compensate for eating like crap is not sustainable. I had an ex who did the same thing, she would eat candy bars, pasta, sweet cereals, and pizza as her diet yet she would do cardio for 2 hours a day to compensate and looked great. However, once a life event hit, she skimped on the cardio and got chubby. Then it took her way longer to lose the weight. I was slightly disgusted that she wouldn't even try to eat a vegetable ("but tomato sauce is a veggie") and dumped her.
The difference between the two lifestyles (keep diet to maintain weight vs exercise to offset bad diet to maintain weight) is that we have to eat to survive and we don't have to exercise to survive. Hence why one is sustainable, you always have to do it. My $.02
I guess this relates to how guys in post-industrial areas tend to have weight problems. They used to have very physically demanding jobs, and ate high-calorie diets accordingly. Then the jobs all went away, but they continued to eat the same way (because changing eating habits is hard, massively more so when its embedded in the entire culture around you).
Man, I agree with the observation about compound interest. So powerful.
How to rediscover dreams when the world has stolen them
I watched it again a couple years ago on Netflix. It was better than I had remembered.
Materialistic things are not only worthless, they are harmful. We spend most of our time working hard to obtain them and once we have them they take up more of our time, maintenance etc
Less is more. Less you have, less time you will need to maintain it, fix it, worry about it, clean it, store it etc
When buying ANYTHING ask the "how long" question. Just because you can get it on the cheap doesn't mean it will last. Buying something over and over is not only wasteful but more expensive over time.
Totally inaccurate though. He didn't even flap! Not as bad as "Gravity" though.
Watermelon: Eat the seeds. They're easy to chew up. They don't detract from the flavor. I realized once that watermelon is WAY more enjoyable if you don't waste your time spitting the seeds. Also, seedless watermelons have no flavor.
Strawberries: I rinse each one and pop the whole thing in my mouth (even the green part). I do not expect others to do this.
why chew the seeds at all? I just gulp them down.
I do believe in balance.

Spitting the seeds out (especially at a sibling) was always the best part of eating watermelon as a child. It's still fun much later in life too ...
I only eat watermelon alone
I guess it would help you digest the nutrients.
Very simple. First, break all food down into 4 groups:
1. Meat
2. Carbs
3. Fats
4. Sodium
There's the unhealthy choices:
1. Fatty meat (pork, 80/20 beef)
2. Simple carbs (sugar, white bread, white rice)
3. Bad fats (margarine, fried foods, etc.)
4. Too much sodium
Then there's the healthy choices:
1. Lean meat (chicken, turkey, 90/10 beef)
2. Complex carbs (brown rice, whole-grain bread, vegetables)
3. Good fats (olive oil, avocados, peanuts)
4. Enough sodium (>2000mg a day)
So the basic idea is good vs. bad:
1. Lean vs. Fatty meats
2. Complex vs. Simple carbs
3. Good vs. Bad fats
4. Enough vs. Too Much sodium
So eating clean would be having chicken baked in olive oil with a side of brown rice. Eating unclean would be having bacon with margarine-coated Wonderbread. You want lean meats, not fatty meats. You want complex carbs, not simple carbs. You want good fats, not bad fats. You want enough sodium, but not too much sodium (condiments like ketchup & hot sauce, salt, etc. are OK, just don't go nuts - your body needs salt but not too much!). There's some overlap but you get the idea - eating clean generally means making healthy choices at least 80 or 90% of the time. You can still have pizza and burgers and stuff without bad effects, as long as you're eating well most of the time. You don't have to be 100% to get great results, it just needs to be your main habit for the majority of your diet.
It gets tricky because of marketing. Stuff like salad dressings are usually very unhealthy. McDonald's salads are more fatty than their burgers:

So that's all. Eat lean meat, complex carbs, good fats, and sufficient sodium. You can still make a ridiculous amount of delicious food while eating healthy. Paleo is a pretty easy diet to get started on, there's some gourmet recipes here:

Just wait till one of those starts growing...
your digestive system has to be messed up if you don't shit the seeds out in a few days.
