The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
I want to check with you people what do you think about situation in NFL between Arizona Cardinals players dropping the ball before the finish line and following altercation with head coach Jonathan Gannon.
I was browsing Reddit and noticing huge influx of comments condemning Gannon to the tune on "he should've never put a hand on him" (even though it was a punch to shoulder pads). And I don't really seem to able to arrive to the same conclusion. It feels to me the product of office environment where even if you massively fuck up in your workplace to the tune of inflicting damages to the project the only thing that would happen to you is being fired. I worked in landscaping for a few months and the temperament of the foreman was entirely different and I would say some physical reminder is needed if you fuck up the entire day of work.
What is the current year answer to this type of situation?
I'm on your side. The whole thing feels like a tempest in a teapot. I understand why the NFL fined him, because you can't have that kind of thing happening, but I don't think he's like a bad person or something.
Oh, the NFL didn't fine him, his own team did.
Oh, i missed that, although I'm not sure it matters to my thoughts on it.
