7 ways the system is broken. Which of the 7 drives you bananas? 1. Romantic comedies are poison. They set unrealistic and incorrect expectations about what love is. You spend your 20's looking for love you see in the movies. And your 30's trying to unlearn it. 2. The education…

Writing down your life philosophy is like a metal detector for serendipity It draws you towards people that you’ll resonate with and shows you who to spend more time around Today I discovered it has another value: Connecting people that align in philosophies

Bean is limited by his gender / human / racial / age features to always make a certain audience unable to see themselves in him. Spongebob being animated overcomes this. Also number of meme opportunities in real shots is limited whereas animated shots can create anything.
