3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I believe in this and it's been tested by research. He who fucks nuns will later join the church.
This is my favourite lyric in any song ever.
It's from Death or Glory by The Clash, for those who don't know.
“Deep” or “profound” means nothing in research design. If you read it somewhere, see if it defined precisely in this context. If not, see if you can mentally replace it with a more precise word. If not, be skeptical of the validity of the claims.

I’m being a bit cheeky but this has actually stuck with me over the years and I do think it’s helpful.
"Things in life aren't always quite what they seem, there's more than one given angle to any one given scene. So bear that in mind next time you try to intervene on any one given angle to any one given scene."
I don't think it's really profound but 'perception is reality'. How a person perceives something is what they think is true and real, even if it isn't.
“It can be two things”
Every person dies alone.
Everything in moderation.
Work smarter, not harder.
Yay Disney cartoons!
If you make yourself irreplaceable you can't get promoted.
Everyone always has a plan until they get punched in the face.
Enjoy this thought poison that's been with me for a long time:
WARNING: THOUGHT POISON
It’s a bitter truth that, in the end, your intentions don’t matter. Neither does your pain, your past, or the reasons behind what you did. No one cares about the context or the quiet wars you fought alone. All that remains is how others saw you. Their perception becomes your truth—your legacy—no matter how far it is from who you really were—or tried to be.
