Sewing

You’ll save yourself so much money and time mending clothes, blankets, and doing your own mods instead of buying new things.

I think the people’s presumption that they have some right to be free from offense has done way more damage than anything.

It is so weird that people would rather see kids orphaned than raised by a white family, but it was an important lesson for me.

I once mentioned being proud of my mixed-race family and was called a racist. That was a crummy day.

Also, the day I decided maybe social activism wasn’t for me.

Yeah, man.

People should obsess about every single negative aspect of their lives, every single moment of their lives, because that’s healthy.

LOLOLOL

Glorious

Yes.

All of them.

I love the bachelor life.

I eat it on occasion. I actually really like the taste of Burger King burgers, but I have internalized the fact that the burger I like is 1800 calories by itself, with another 400-500 for the fries, and for that reason, I don’t eat it often. I also have to take into account that, yes, it’s expensive stuff now.

My parents raised me on fast food so I probably enjoy it more than most due to the aspect of being conditioned to it.

There was a French museum that had an exhibition once whose intention was to simulate the way a human settlement used to smell before the advent of sanitation, and it was so bad that schoolkids were literally vomiting, and it had to be closed early.

You probably already know this, but just in case, there are options in phone settings to ignore unknown numbers.

I’d go back to the very beginning, the Prime Mover, and prevent all of it from happening in the first place.

Time in the market vs timing the market

Absolutely a good way to go as well, especially if you drop that cash in fee-free index funds (Vanguard’s a good way to go) or an ETF like VTI. This is absolutely the best way to go if you’re an undisciplined investor, lack patience, or just want to set it, forget it, and watch your growth over time.

I just think it’s also useful to have cash on the side so you can take advantage of crashes. You only get a handful of them in a lifetime and they are 100% the best opportunity to buy. I paid off my student loans with profits I made grabbing oil stocks in March 2020 for pennies on the dollar.

Might be time for Ford to get in on 2FA.

Find one small thing you can cut out and save that money every week in a savings account.

When the market crashes like it did in 2008 and 2020, take every one of those dollars and put it in stocks, because during a crash, you can often get high value stocks at a huge discount that wouldn’t exist in normal market conditions.

Wait 2-3 years for the market recovery and sell that stock at a profit.

Also, don’t wait until your 30’s to get a set of silk sheets.

If you’re happy alone, be alone. You don’t have to get married. You don’t have to get kids. Those things suck to have if you do not want them in the first place.

Dude, staying in on NYE is the best.

I’m going to have wine, read a book, and fall asleep with my pups next to me tonight. It’s going to be glorious, and no lightweight drunks or cops around to ruin it.

Ugh. So glad I don’t use FB. It’s already so enshittified and only getting worse.

Good.

Console exclusivity was always a super shitty idea.

There are always extra steps with piracy.

But it’s worth it.
