LAN Party

A local area network (LAN) party is when people get together in a physical space to connect their computers or consoles to the same LAN network and play video games. LAN parties became popular in the 1990s when broadband internet was expensive and uncommon. LAN parties vary in size, from a get-together with a few friends to a major event involving hundreds of strangers.

LAN parties used to be the perfect way to play multiplayer games without relying on split-screen gameplay, often limiting the experience to a maximum of four players.

Common games at LAN parties were those that benefited most from the low-latency and high-reliability environment that a local network provided. First-person shooters (FPS) were particularly popular. Titles like “Counter-Strike,” “Quake,” and “Unreal Tournament” were staples of the LAN party scene.

The Dangers of Cheap Dopamine

In an age where instant gratification is just a click away, the pursuit of ‘cheap dopamine’ has become increasingly common. But what is cheap dopamine, and why should we be concerned about it?

Dopamine, often referred to as the ‘feel-good hormone,’ plays a critical role in our brain’s reward system. It ensured our survival by motivating us to perform essential tasks like eating and procreating. However, the modern world has engineered ways to trigger these dopamine releases artificially and excessively – through things like scrolling mindlessly through social media feeds, binge watching shows, consuming pornography, eating highly processed junk foods loaded with sugar, online shopping just for the thrill of it. These things lure us in by hijacking the brain’s reward system, making us feel good without having to work for it.

After being taunted with homophobic slurs for his interest in men, Emile Griffith would knockout Benny Paret so bad he would die days later…

Emile Griffith and Benny “Kid” Paret’s rivalry in the boxing ring is etched in history for its tragic culmination. Their intense trilogy of fights within a year, culminating in Griffith’s fatal victory over Paret on March 24, 1962, is a stark reminder of the brutal nature of the sport. Paret, only 25 and a recent welterweight champion, faced Griffith, a year younger, in a match that would end in irreversible tragedy.

The Importance of Personal Responsibility

Life can often feel like a series of random events that happen to us, rather than experiences we consciously create. It’s easy to fall into the trap of seeing yourself as a passive participant in your own story. But the truth is, you have far more agency in shaping your life than you realize. Taking responsibility for your choices and actions is the critical first step to unlocking your full potential and creating the life you want.

What does it mean to take responsibility for your life? At the most basic level, it means acknowledging that you are the author of your story. Your circumstances don’t define you; it’s the attitude you bring to any situation that matters. Taking responsibility means letting go of blame and victimhood, and instead looking inward at how your thoughts, beliefs, and actions may be perpetuating certain patterns or limiting your growth.
