Muscle quote

Posted in 2018, tagged , , , on March 3, 2018| Leave a Comment »

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

Author…who is the author, exactly? 10-min out of my life searching on google brought talking heads on reddit, twitter, quora and other bored-parasites’ forums. Rephrased the request in various ways (“quote by”, “origin”, “author”), but it didn’t help. Yep, ever since google decided to become saintlier than the Pope, their product suffered…Turning to Bing. Immediately found the source on Goodreads:

G. Michael Hopf > Quotes > Quotable Quote

G. Michael Hopf

“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”

― G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain

Er…and who is this philosopher, per Goodreads editors’ tag?

“G. Michael Hopf is a combat veteran of the Marine Corps, a former bodyguard for the Saudi Royal family, entrepreneur, and best-selling author.
He has studied the threat of EMP for 6 years and how to best prepare in the event. He wrote The New World series to illustrate the effects our nation would suffer if ever attacked by this type of weapon. […] He and his family currently reside in San Diego, CA.”

Ah, philosopher, indeed. Just the kind to be admired by autistic bubbleheads in the IT-kooks -populated sci-fi fan’ swamps.

Флешмоб стороны света [виа kuzulka] охватил глобус!

Пыталась докопаться, где началось; через 5 ссылок дошла до жж-юзера grainne_l, там никаких ссылок на кого-то др., так что условно-заочно назначим её автором и поблагодарим. И поучаствуем.

Идея суф-фикс

Posted in 2015, tagged , , , on February 6, 2015| 2 Comments »

  1. Называние друг друга (обычно – немолодых женщин) именами с уменьшительными суффиксами стандартного разлива “чк”, “ньк”: Галочка, Наденька, Олечка
  2. Называние всех друзей/знакомых/родню/любовников, переходящих в статус мужа, обратно и в заключительные экс-ы именами с пренебрежительно-уменьшительным суффиксом “ка”, независимо от возраста: Петька, Мишка, Ирка. Сюда же входит манера называть человеческими именами домашних животных – так что никогда не знаешь, кто такая упомянутая автором Танька – подруга или собака

Как вам?

Learn to do

Posted in 2014, tagged , , , , on November 16, 2014|

A meme going around the net: list new skills you learned to do in the last [period of time].

I think it should be balanced with 2 others -things you forgot how to do in [same period] and  – missing/desired skills [indefinite timeframe]

Let’s start with my own, say 10 points in each.

What’s in your… stash?

Posted in 2014, tagged , , on February 16, 2014| 10 Comments »

We all have our favorites. That is, website links you put aside in your browsing to look into later or keep handy for future reference.

Isn’t it like a room, particularly – a storage room, that gives an idea of  a person better than all descriptions?

Let’s start a meme: I’ll show you mine and you’ll tell me yours! (more…)
