Mine is to not freak out over small things anymore but try not only to weigh the situation logically, but if I feel like I'm in a catch 22 (which could entirely be a product of my own mind) to just simply take the option that gives me the most peace. I try to be definite in my decisions but I've noticed that once I make a decision in peace, often about like 10 minutes later I'll have more clarity to then allow things to progress. As in, I am allowed to change my mind. I don't set hard and fast rules like if I make a decision I have to stick to it at all costs - that would only stress me out. Taking away that pressure has helped me a LOT. I've slipped up, but am always trying and so far things have been pretty good :)

Hey thanks caelum :) I'll be sure to check those sources out. Thanks for putting me onto the technique of scroll-clicking.

Yeah, I think it can be both dishonest as well as not putting pressure on people, depending on the circumstances/ person I guess. It was an example of someone doing it overtly, just so I could get across the idea.

This looks interesting. Also a very cool looking site. thanks for posting :)

That's true, thanks :) Here is the article that was discussed before: http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201410/the-perils-and-privileges-loneliness And I did enjoy that discussion. I was just wondering if there was a psychology website with more of an academic focus, that's all. I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn here, I actually find some academic papers quite challenging to read. But I like the challenge, and if there's anything like that out there I'd love to check it out, that's all.

That's very interesting, thank you. Does that by any chance mean that theoretical mathematicians view real things as being shadows cast by math?

Is this similar to theoretical math vs. applied math?

a LOT of these could be band names...

My housemate showed me that, it is hilarious! I seem to remember him offering poems in the early stages of pledges, but I can't seem to find it again. Come to think of it, poetry is often used as bargaining leverage on the internet.. I've seen elsewhere people promising poetry in return for a oneplus one invite. If it's a profitable form of currency, hubski could do well. We have some great poets here I've seen :) Oh I just re-read that and realized the amount of alliteration that's in there. Irony. Puns. Sorry. Tired.

Oh cool! The only thing up until recently that I'd seen of his was his journey through Africa to find where and what the banjo originated from, just had to google it then and it's called 'Throw down your heart', really really awesome documentary, and he plays with so many people too - here's a youtube link to one:

this is the trailer for the tour:

VICTOR WOOTEN IS HIS BASS PLAYER?!?! Woah! I'm so there. Thanks, I didn't know he was a jazz musician, thanks for mentioning that.

thanks!

that is a really great idea, keep it up, I'd love to see more :) p.s. they would fill a book nicely, and that would be a book I'd definitely buy.

haha, yep :)

thanks! will do :)

Dude that is awesome. Sigh. It's always humbling to hear someone with a lot of talent :) keep up the good work, hey.
