Almost all other sports are either primarily club-based, like Soccer, and the major leagues in North America; or the national team play is regional, like Rugby, or infrequent like FIFA and the Olympics.

Cricket is the largest sport by fanbase that's primarily organized around national teams, that play frequently, and with club teams being the minors and a feeder system.

ICC needs to lean into this. FIFA and the Olympics are every four years, and those national teams are temporary. There's no national team identity, only national pride. Cricket could have the stable following of a club team with rising and waning stars, but accessible to even more people under the common banner of national

When I was working through my own personal trauma, I could see for myself that I had a choice to respond to my own trauma in two different, opposing ways:

• with an iron fist and say to myself, "tough shit", harden up, bottle it all up, and and put on a brave face
• with a bleeding heart and say to myself, "so sorry that happened to you", and curl up into a ball

Of course, in the end, I needed both, at different times. Sometimes, I needed to be compassionate to myself, and sometimes, I needed to just get on with it.

But through my personal experience, I could also see that if these two individual trauma responses were to be aggregated and extrapolated to a societal level, we would rou

I've been mulling about this for a long time when I was working through my own personal trauma, and I could see for myself that I had a choice to respond to my own trauma in two different opposing ways, with an iron fist or through a bleeding heart.

And I could also see if these two individual trauma responses were to aggregated and extrapolated to a societal level, our world would roughly organize itself in two separate camps: conservatives and liberals.

The core thought and connection is mine and I've used an LLM to explain the reasoning which I'm pasting below:

ਫਸੇ ਹੋਏ ਨੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਣ,

ਲਿਟਿਆ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਬਾਣ|

ਘਰ ਨਾ ਮਿਲਿਆ, ਬਣ ਕੇ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ ਮਕਾਨ।

ਕਦੇ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਨੀ ਧਿਆਨ,

ਹੋ ਵੀ ਨਾ ਸਕਾਂ ਹੈਰਾਨ।

ਮਾਮੂਲੀ ਇਨਸਾਨ

ਦਾ ਅੱਤ ਨੁਕਸਾਨ।

ਬਸ ਇੰਨੀ ਕੁ ਮੇਰੀ ਪਹਿਚਾਣ।

ਨਾ ਉੱਚੀ ਰੱਖ ਸਕਿਆ ਆਪਣੀ ਸ਼ਾਨ।

ਕਿਵੇਂ ਕਰਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ 'ਤੇ ਮਾਣ।

ਕਦੋਂ ਹਟੂਗੀ ਇਹ ਥਕਾਣ।

ਕਦੇ ਨੀ ਹਟਣੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਥਕਾਣ।

ਮੇਰੀ ਥਕਾਣ। ਮਜਬੂਰਨ ਬਲੀਦਾਨ।

I understand what the word Sikh means literally but I'm curious who decided that sikhna will be a cornerstone of this new movement.

And who decided this? Guru Nanak Dev Ji?

Are there any references in gurbani that address the literal meaning of the word: to learn, to be a learner?

I'm constantly fleeting. Especially with my eyes. Constantly looking away in the midst of conversations.

"Anywhere but here" is the mantra I run myself by.

How can I "stay" with my feelings for just long enough to let myself feel something?

It's a constant state of blah, monotone-ness, homeostasis.

I'm "content" wasting the day away, scrolling, fleeting, constant state of distracted-ness where nothing reaches the inside. I scroll my phone, click on links, read headlines, not to retain anything or find something interesting, but to fill that 30-seconds. Repeat till finally the day is over.

I wish I could say I am sick of it but a more urgent matter is that it's just disruptive to havin

Full-Stack Software Engineer with 15 years of experience, including 3 years of engineering management (but not recently) looking for fully-remote or hybrid roles while continuing to be based out of Vancouver.

I'd like to get back to engineering management but my relevant experience there is not recent so not having the best luck convincing interviewers during the fw interviews I get that I'm up for the role and the transition.

Any particular medium-to-large-sized companies I should look into?

What would be a competitive salary for my number of years of experience?

What websites can I check out for remote roles based in US?

First. Childhood neglect. Emotionally unavailable mother. Emotionally absent father. Emotional numbness and Freeze CPTSD as a response. Disassociation set in early.

Applied myself in school only but didn't actually learn or retain much. It was rote memorization to "do well", get praise from teachers, get acceptance from my mother, and feel "being better" than my peers.

Immigrated to another country half way around the world at the age of 10 so there was quite a disruption in my environment. New country. New people. New culture. New norms. New language. Continued applying myself in school but now with additional challenges. These new challenges became my new quest, so I was further removed

I'm looking to make a weekend trip to Alberta and buy a few bottles of Whiskey and Vodka for a couple of upcoming banquet hall parties we'll be hosting.

There's quite a bit of a difference in prices.

If anyone has made a similar trip before, which liquor stores should I visit? And in which cities?

So far I have Costco Canada Liquor and Real Canadian Liquorstore on my list.
