Uri Bram on 80/20 weight loss: “Still, as with ~other entries in this series~, the people who care deeply about stuff are often unwilling to write up an 80/20 version of it, so you get me instead.” Petition for Uri to become the 80/20 guy. This is a good lane for you, Uri!

How to be good at dating <- applicable to things besides just dating! Breaking the problem down and then actually changing behavior to get different results works surprisingly well provided you’re willing to do it. Often success doesn’t come to us the way we want to receive it. I can’t remember where I read this, but somewhere someone posted about how Harry Potter ruined a generation of children because he just wakes up one day and finds out that he’s this ridiculously special wizard, when in reality it’s Hermione we should be admiring because has to work to be great. If you know who wrote this and can point me to it, come find me!
