Metalcore makes the list, but power metal doesn't?

What works for me: It is in no part optional. Is it a choice I can make? It sure is. But if I don't stick to the plan, things will be worse.

To me, it's as optional as the raft to the shipwrecked. Swimming is a choice I can make, but it will be worse every time.

Objectively, I've seen no improvement to my life by not following a plan, but I am able to make progress towards goals with a plan.

It doesn't help my mental health much, either. But I'd rather have big sads and work towards something, than just having the sads in a worse environment. I was pretty bummed when the emotions drained and I was like, "But I did all this stuff all week."

I'm as motivated to make progress as a caffinated toddler is to nap, but the only way I can actually make any progress is by surrenduring to the fact that gains will be measured over time, and to trust the process. It's just weird that I'm the one making up the process as I go along. I know that person, and they make poor decisions. But maybe it will get easier with time? I know it doesn't if I do nothing, so perhaps I can swing the pendulum the other way by actually doing something instead. I dunno. I'll find out either way, I suppose.

Listen, grown adults with grown children were about to convince themselves that, not only is it socially acceptable to leave the house with a diaper on over their pants to support a political candidate, but it's worth photographing amd uploading to social media. Surely I can convince myself that to reach a goal such as: having a cleaner house, or having a healthier body, or playing an instrument, I just need to do a little bit every day towards that, marked out on a daily schedule I built for me.

I wish this shit were optional, I'd choose not to do it at all. But also, I've already done that and it made no improvement on my quality of life.

I've always thought that I do better with a planned day. Recently, I thought about it, and I changed my perspective.

It's not that I can do better with a plan, but merely the fact that without a plan, I will do worse.

Once I stopped viewing the plan as optional, I was able to be more consistent. We'll see how long it lasts, though.

Almost got hit by the goal posts. It's my own fault, though, I know how much they tend to move around.

As someone with an internal monologue, but not sure it's mine, the whispers are getting louder, and they're starting to make convincing points.

It's apparent to me that he thinks that everything he's saying is so badass. He's the coolest person he knows.

I've never seen a comic with a laugh track before today.

I agree, play the class how you want, it's one of the major appeals of the game. But a ranger built for archery is a lot of fun to play.

On top of that, can you imagine wearing heels on a pitching deck?

There's no Aegis on an LST, and that large, pale hexogonal shape behind her is part of the Aegis weapon system.

You can see Aegis radars where they would appear on a destroyer, but on an actual ship, if she were standing in front of the bridge, she'd be out next to the 5 inch gun. There are no raised platforms that far out in front of the bridge on any Aegis-capable platform.
