Hallo Reddit, hallo /r/de.
Mein Name ist Chris Pyak. Ich bin der Spitzenkandidat der Neue Liberale die Sozialliberalen zur Europawahl 2019.
Es gibt keine Prozenthürde bei der Europawahl, darum haben auch kleine Parteien eine Chance auf ein Mandat.
Gemeinsam mit Christian Bethke, unserem Bundesvorsitzenden werde ich morgen ab 19 Uhr eure Fragen beantworten. (Also Mittwoch 15. Mai ab 19 Uhr CET)
Wir sind beide neu auf Reddit, aber haben immer Freude daran neue Dinge auszuprobieren. Ihr ja offensichtlich auch - darum freuen wir uns, wenn Ihr uns im Wahlomat vergleicht und hier mit Fragen löchert. :)
Wir freuen uns auf eure Fragen!
Lieber Gruss,
Chris Pyak

Oh, i’m sure you could, I said, but I don’t think they’d look good on you.
*true story.
>This really needs to be said. While working on the story, I was having trouble visualizing one character: Rayno. I mean, I had a basic take on him; he was stylish and flashy, with hair peroxided to within an Angstrom unit of its life. But the essence of his character was that he was a fraud. Rayno was a parasite, living off the skills of other people: a creature composed entirely of style, attitude, and image, with no actual talent to back it up.

>As I said, I was having trouble visualizing him -- up until the moment I chanced to catch some early music video footage of Billy Idol. Then I jumped up, pointed at the TV, and shouted out, "That's him!"

>Which makes it, to me, absolutely hysterical that in the 1990's the "real" Billy Idol went to great lengths to adopt the cyberpunk identity, even going so far as to title an album that. If he only knew the real story....
'Bethke says he made two lists of words, one for technology, one for troublemakers, and experimented with combining them variously into compound words, consciously attempting to coin a term that encompassed both punk attitudes and high technology.
He described the idea thus:
"The kids who trashed my computer; their kids were going to be Holy Terrors, combining the ethical vacuity of teenagers with a technical fluency we adults could only guess at. Further, the parents and other adult authority figures of the early 21st Century were going to be terribly ill-equipped to deal with the first generation of teenagers who grew up truly “speaking computer.”' - Wikipedia
"Unless you have serious convictions AND rhythms, you NEED to listen" and follow what Jeff says about living more intentionally. (Here's the book's trailer and here are Jeff and his wife Alyssa on another episode of BTS.)
Auj says the book's title, "To Hell With The Hustle," is "edgy," and never actually said it out loud but "loves" that Alyssa came up w/it b/c such language seems to be uncharacteristic of her. Apparently other Christians have been pushing back and are afraid to have it on their coffee tables and even of inviting Jeff to talk about it on shows and podcasts.
Social media is to blame for the assembly-line spirit behind hustles and worshiping the "god of efficiency": We let our quick attention spans (which can be credited to our phones!) rule our lives.
Where this all comes from:
- He and his wife began burning out after what they call "having met all our benchmarks": Got married at 22, found jobs they loved at 23, bought a house and had kids at 25. He was also constantly traveling for work, and living on Maui made his East Coast trips last much longer.
- They were living "disintegrated but culturally OK lives": Following the American Dream (house, kids, climbing the corporate ladder) right makes your life worse b/c you get busier, acquire more pressure, and have more to manage.
- They decided make drastic changes so that they're not feeling as rushed and can slow down and appreciate what they had.
- Master Guru Jer ties it all to their own experience and Bethke-like realization, in that years ago he and Auj had a long list of things to do, but since Ember was born, and now that they're prepping for baby #2, they've had to nix many of them as they won't be able to keep up or appreciate what they have if they're always on the go.
His solution:
- Focus on the PACE of Je-SUHS and not just his teachings
- Society values fame and noise, but Je-SUHS valued silence and obscurity.
- Auj asks Jeff for more info on how people can seek the silence and "redeem the moments," but Jer said he'll give her one example and Auj replies with, "I wasn't asking you, hahaha." Anyways, Jer says one instance of people not appreciating the quiet is when they reach for their phones when they're at a stoplight.
- Start small: be quiet for a few seconds at first and begin increasing it bit by bit.

I swear I can't wear a pair of jeans for more than 6 months without getting holes in the inner thigh. I've bought tons of different brands (Lucky, Levi's, Banana, etc), and they all have the same problem. Most women don't have a thigh gap, so it'd be really swell if pants were made more durable to handle the friction of the inner thighs rubbing against each other. /end rant
