    This is a lesson I try to teach my kids every day. When they get upset they can’t do something, I ask, “well whatd you learn?” And sometimes it’s as simple as “that didn’t work.” Other times they think for a second they try something new.

    Failure is a learning opportunity. Take advantage if it.


  • My anecdote supports this. My former neighbor is a die hard trump conspiracy theorist. Thought Biden died when he announced he was dropping out of the race without making an appearance type. Grew up in rural Ohio. I mean he’s the demographic.

    But the nicest dude I’ve ever met. We lived on the fringe of the hood, and he was always out helping everyone he saw. Old black lady lived on the other side of me: shoved all her snow and never even told her it was him. Constantly stopping while walking his dogs to help people: carry groceries, clean your garage, move a couch. He truly didn’t care who you were, what you looked like, or what your situation was, he was going to help.

    He got married in glacier national park and never came back lol

    A town that has been stagnant at 12000 people for 60 years doesn’t spend, hell, doesnt have $25M to spend, for a project like this. There has got to be more to this story because this just doesn’t make sense

    Knock down buildings and widen a road, spending a lot of money and ruining infrastructure, to put in a parking lot in a town that sees no growth?
