Confession of the Day
I am 31M and before I began BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) – I was a corporate climber, starting my career at 21 with the hustle mentality (6am to 8pm M-F and never switching off during COVID lockdowns).

Picture of the Day
Richard Pierce, Western Union Telegraph Co. Messenger No 2. 14 years of age. 9 months in service, works from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Smokes and visits houses of prostitution. Wilmington, Del. Photo by Lewis Hine, 1910.
In 1908 Hine became the photographer for the National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), leaving his teaching position. Over the next decade, Hine documented child labor, with focus on the use of child labor in the Carolina Piedmont, to aid the NCLC’s lobbying efforts to end the practice. In 1913, he documented child laborers among cotton mill workers with a series of Francis Galton’s composite portraits.
Hine’s work for the NCLC was often dangerous. As a photographer, he was frequently threatened with violence or even death by factory police and foremen. At the time, the immorality of child labor was meant to be hidden from the public. Photography was not only prohibited but also posed a serious threat to the industry. To gain entry to the mills, mines and factories, Hine was forced to assume many guises. At times he was a fire inspector, postcard vendor, bible salesman, or even an industrial photographer making a record of factory machinery.

The vast majority of women are attracted to good men.
The subset of men that believe otherwise are Nice Guys.

Confession of the Day
I can’t really say this out loud to anyone in my personal life because it would hurt my family members and my friends would try to console me because they love me but honestly, my life has been ruined due to my ugliness.
What is the Sunk Cost Fallacy?
The sunk cost fallacy refers to a thinking mistake people sometimes make when they consider past investments (such as time, money, or effort) in a decision-making process. It happens when someone continues investing in something, even though it no longer makes sense or brings benefits, simply because they have already invested so much.
