I think the realization that sometimes you will screw up is one of the most important ones to make. Growing up, we’re taught that we should be #1 at everything we do. Sometimes you’re #2, sometimes you’re way down the list, and that’s fine. The important part is finding something you know you’re good at and gaining enough confidence from that to tough through the things you’re not great at. I mean, you had the wherewithal to run a damn marathon, approach that girl at the bar, and put yourself out there by writing an article that thousands of people would read. That confidence comes from somewhere.
1: Your site sucks.
2: Your content sucks.
3: I’m not the D-Man, but your use of “postgradproblems” in the URL could put you in some legal hot water, as I assume you’re looking to profit from that shitty site and, as stated in the PGP terms and conditions:
“The following Trade Marks are the Company’s property and are not to be used by a third-party without written consent from the Company’s owners:
Post Grad Problems ™
PGP ™”
All that to say, delete your site because it sucks and you suck.
While I didn’t agree with your opinion (if it even is a genuinely held opinion of yours and not just satire), I wish you hadn’t taken it down. I understand why you did, though. The only article I’ve had published here, or anywhere for that matter, had about a hundred people telling me that I was a moron. While expectations aren’t nearly as high for my writing as they are for yours, it’s tough to have anyone tell you “Hey, fuck you, that thing you said was stupid and I didn’t like it.” It’s even harder when you have as many devoted readers as you do.
Fuck it though, right? You can’t please everyone. Sometimes you just have to put it behind you and continue on writing fire like you do. Still looking forward to everything else you do here.

Right but somehow I feel like you were responsible for him being up there.
Feeling that sense of relief when most friends cancel plans. PGP.
We’d all be a little let down if you didn’t.
I totally understand the gray beard hair. I was fine with some gray in the temples, but when I found one near my chin, I knew it was all over.
But you’ll just come back three days later. I’d take three days off for $25k.
Do it for the content.
If you’re the kind of person to do a juice crawl, you’re probably not spending money on alcohol. And I guess all that extra cash has to go somewhere?
Mine was Siren Song of the Counter Culture by Rise Against. 15 year old me was a little badass.

I eat at 1 most days. You get the benefit of slacking off while other people eat, plus the afternoon feels way shorter.

Same boat, man. Some days you got it, some days you don’t.

Good writing, bad idea.
I dunno, man, I don’t think anyone would make fun of Batista to his face if he had a man bun.
So is the PGP staff gonna start working 30 hour weeks?
Seriously. I hate the Peaky Blinders haircut as much as any self-respecting dude, but there’s no excuse for a man bun.
An ironic quote coming from a man whose haircut, as told by Nick Offerman, is called “the full douche” and is none of those three cuts.
