Distraction is Warfare
Fight Club is filled with many good scenes that are applicable to the modern world’s hellscape, but one in particular always stood out to me. The scene is where Tyler goes into a liquor store and brings the clerk outside in order to “rob” him. He has the man explain what to him what he […]
How to learn new skills online 2018
Recently I was trying to become proficient using Google’s pay per click advertising program Adwords.
