Reddit advice threads are famous for this. Just quit your job and get a new one. Just divorce your SO of 10 years and try again. Just pick up sticks and move somewhere else. Easy-peasy, right?


There was a thread yesterday which was on /r/getmotivated, the typical word spew from a teenager who had started a newsletter.

Advising people that all they had to do is outlast everyone and that was easy because everyone else quit.

They didn't seem to understand the difference between simple and easy, when I mentioned that was the hard part and the reason everyone else was quitting was because it was hard, there response was that 'they just needed discipline, which is easy'.

So glad we have genius level thinking out there that has solved all of life's issues.
