What hobbies do you guys have?
I’ve pretty much had the same hobby for 25 years. But given a big tangled mess of issues (the same ones that bring me to Brojo) it’s become more stressful and depressing than entertaining. So I’m on the hunt for alternatives. For reference, I’ve been dancing one or more of salsa/bachata/kizomba/zouk since 1999. It’s pretty challenging finding something that fills the gaps in fitness, social intros, nights at the bar, IRL tinder, and regular travel destinations for big events. Plus of course finding something I find interesting. So, let’s have a discussion about what you guys get yourselves up to. PS, I’ve done a few PT boxing sessions at the gym, which has got me to look at the nearby boxing gyms and Krav Maga options. I plan to check out a few trial classes.

@Jay Moore I can't memorise jokes to save myself. Although, oddly, I can come up with some pretty funny one-liners now and then, but never when I try 🤷‍♂️.

What Criminals Taught Me About Compassion
Daily Dose of Integrity There's an unexpected lesson I got from working with hardened criminal offenders when I was a probation officer, and that is compassion. One thing nearly all criminal offenders have in common is significant abuse in childhood. Abuse doesn’t guarantee someone will be a criminal, of course, but it's very rare for a hard criminal offender to have had a good childhood, it's as simple as that. And so, I'd have this killer, rapist, horrible harmful person in front of me who should be buried under the prison (I could pull the trigger myself they're just such a waste of space), and then I'd have this realization: At one point in time they were a baby with all the possibilities in front of them, and then someone came into their life and took those possibilities away with abuse and neglect. And that is true of everyone, everyone you ever meet. No matter how horrible they are, at one point in time they had the option to be better and someone took it away against their will and without their consent. You don’t need to forgive them or even understand their behaviour. Compassion means simply realising their choice to be a good person was taken away. And for those of you who would argue that other abuse victims didn’t become criminals, I’d say that’s because they got lucky with some kind of genetic predisposition or a significant positive influence at some point in their life.

@Mark Lange It’s an interesting psychological dynamic. It’s pretty common knowledge for kids and animals, but I see echos of it in lots of destructive adult behaviour. But I’ve never grasped the underlaying mechanism enough to be confident that I’m not seeing patterns where none exist. Could be a good video if Dan has insight (hint hint)

That's actually really useful. Cutting down the options fixes my "decision paralysis".

Congrats on the milestone. Bring on the 4th digits. Your only book I don't have is Nice Guy Syndrome Recovery.
Bilingual Spanish and English?
Is anyone here fluent in both Spanish and English (espanol especially). I have a job for you. Take about 10mins, worth $20

The various AI's are probably better at this than most multilingual people.

Hi. I'm from Auckland, NZ, have been at the edge of BroJo for many years, and I'm a classic nice guy, but recently, it's been causing me problems.
