There will always be those who feel more comfortable not venturing from the warmth of the hearth, but there are those who prefer to look out the window and wonder what is beyond the horizon. -Jimmy Buffett, American singer, songwriter, musician, author (three of his six books were New York Times best sellers' list [two in fiction and one in nonfiction] and businessman (two restaurants named after two of his hit songs [Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise] ...December 25, 1946, to September 1, 2023, I don't own anything from Jimmy Buffett [music, books or the restaurants (well mostly the Margaritaville Cafe and now defunct Cheeseburger in Paradise) whatsoever]

You can do anything that you set your mind to. - Benjamin Franklin [1705-1790]

(This is the same quote as Delia Ketchum said to Ash Ketchum while on the video phone in the English Dub version of Pokémon: the original series in the episode: Pokémon Emergency while I was looking into inspirational quotes to live by from each Pokémon series on YouTube and so far, this quote is the only one from a historical figure, without being said I don't own anything from Benjamin Franklin, Pokémon or YouTube whatsoever)

"I just want you to know that if you are out there and you are being really hard on yourself right now for something that has happened ... it's normal. That is what is going to happen to you in life. No one gets through unscathed. We are all going to have a few scratches on us. Please be kind to yourselves and stand up for yourself, please."

— Taylor Swift

    Was just thinking, when someone says think outside the box....why does it have to be a box? Why can't it be anything you want? Like a closet? Or a door? Hehe

    Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
    Quote Link
  • Victorique Victorique:
    It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms

    Define "political questions". Also, we are a constitutional Republic with Democratically elected representation. I will argue until my dying day that the greatest thing the Founding Fathers created was the Electoral College
