This seems to be from the TikToks, so no. Not real.

One of these things is not like the other.....

It's the guy pointing at something completely random.

No, you had it. It's J, as is in "jiraffe".

Total car payments for a single family? Cars or trucks? Does Texas just have reeealy bad loan rates? (Sure, I would like to say that the difference is because of oversized trucks, but reality is sometimes surprising.)

You already improvised your way through three servings of Ktarian chocolate puffs.

Budget time for sleep. Period. It might take a bit of strength to commit to that based on whatever situation you are in, but it just takes practice.

I have been in situations where I was absolutely forced to be awake for about 5'ish days but nothing else in my life after that ever forced that requirement. All-nighters were always a decision I made willingly and they never really worked out well for productivity.

Still, I am a shitty sleeper and at this very moment, I only have time to finish this comment and get about 4 hours sleep in a strange hotel before I need to wake up for work. However, I am older now and less sleep seems to be the norm for my body.

Managing being exhausted is a personal thing. Aside from drinking more water or coffee, I don't think there are going to be many suggestions that will really help more than that.

Maybe? I keep getting "Rule 1" and "Rule 2" errors when I post something on .ml. I was going to create an issue on GitHub about it, but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Oh, I get it. My distaste for religion runs deep as well. However, in my own direct experience, I have not seen any overt religious-driven nasty behavior in my years around Buddhism. (Not to say that it doesn't exist, but I haven't seen it.)

For the record, I grew up in an extreme Southern Baptist area, and still hold the belief that all those fuckers are all pure evil.

I am atheist and my wife is Buddhist. While not exactly true, I view Buddhism more as a philosophy and it is more palatable in that regard. My tolerance for people practicing religion is also fairly high as long as they don't try and "convert me".

As a result, I have been to plenty of ceremonies for things over the years and it doesn't bother me. Of course, I don't believe in any of that "magic" but there is usually loads of good food that comes attached, depending. (Also, there is a high probability of after-hours gambling and drinking which was cool when I did that stuff, at least with the Asian crowd I roll with.)

+20 years married into a Buddhist family, if you were wondering about that.

You got three sentences correct.
