Hey Pandas, What Is One Strange Thing You're Addicted To? (Closed)

Don't come to Belgium, they don't sell Chapstick brand here. I bought some in the US a couple of years ago and I still miss it. It was Key Lime Pie flavor, another unknow thing in Europe.

It's a church in France, the Église Sainte-Bernadette du Banlay. I think it's really creepy inside. https://www.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/img-20180813-111423-largejpg-62ac36ff20169.jpg

Simplicity. Just Simplicity

Simplicity. I don't even know how to describe it. Like my days were filled with playing outside or swimming or reading in tree out front.

"You can achieve anything you put your mind to" is NOT true. Not even close. Genetics play a HUGE role in whether or not someone will be a good athlete, or a super successful scientist. Can you be an "OK" athlete if you try really hard and practice really hard? Sure. Will you break world records or play for a professional team? No. You have to be especially gifted in the genetics department to do those sorts of things. The same thing applies for mental pursuits. Not everyone is smart. Some people just don't... get it. You can try a million different ways of teaching a subject and some people just... won't... get it. Critical thinking (the ability to see a problem and visualize how to get a solution) comes MUCH MORE EASILY to some people than to others. Can you sit there and memorize things and get good grades and what not? Absolutely. Will you ever be a scientist who does extremely important research and solves the world's next huge problem? Probably not, unless you get hired because of nepotism are dragged along by someone who IS good at critical thinking. Furthermore, much of what you CAN do is limited by who you know. If you're rich or your parents are rich and they know lots of people and have a large social network or a lot of people who want to please them for one reason or another, you'll likely find a job in whatever career you want to extremely easily provided you're not totally inept. If you're the first in your family to get a degree and aren't good at maintaining a social network you'll likely have an extremely hard time finding a job, even if you are the person best suited for the jobs you are applying for. Even if the job you're applying for is LITERALLY what you spent 5 years getting a PhD on, if you don't know somebody, you likely won't get that job.
