@Leo Gura If I don't socialize for more than a couple weeks I get extremely depressed. Crazy amounts of despair. But its like an antidepressant once I do go out with friends and especially if I am approaching. Luckily I have started going out again recently (albeit only once a week). And my spirits are high again. @Yeah Yeah Do you have anyone to go out with? I've been going through the same as you. Making some meaningful progress like this can switch your attitude and snap you out of this depressive spiral.

Imagine if this is your mom

My guy at the very least let us know which headphones you bought! My favourite Chi-fi set I've owned so far were the KZ ZSX a few years ago

@EdgeGod900 Umm won't be too expensive the way that I am doing it (I only need to do like 3 classes at my uni and have already transferred in the vast majority of courses from my previous stints in college) Also it will only be like 2-3 additional classes to double major since I dropped out of college a long time ago Figured it would help when applying for jobs versus other applicants (also I find math interesting) I definitely want to check out the low level programming book you recommened

@aurum I don't think there's ever been a time that I thought to myself "I might need an AR-15". I understand the perspective of 2nd amendment to protect yourself from tyranny. But at this point it seems like the tool is being abused for mass shooting.

All the highest homicide cities are in Mexico

thats a lot of fucking money. i think theres alternatives that cost less. alternatively you can study the hell of the material thats on the internet already but you have to study it deeply, analyze and synthesize the principles behind everything

Interesting, particularly for Vegas. Thought it would be higher. You'd figure they are pulling at the very least weekly. If not multiple times a week (clubs open every day) + leads from dating apps. Kinda crazy that these guys that literally dedicate their entire life to this... are basically still in scarcity. Only celebrities seem to have it on "tap" so to speak. And the average girl literally achieves 10x the results of the average joe. Anyone have thoughts on this?

Crazy you have explored these topics since middle school. It wasn't really until I graduated high school that I started to get into this stuff. Nevertheless, you will need to survive somehow. So be very smart about not piling on debt (student loans etc...) otherwise you'll get more stuck in societies traps.

Still deeper than Gary Kasparov's book... lol

@Leo Gura How strong are you in regular chess elo wise?

@Hardkill they make progress within their limited world view. stepping outside of that is too scary.

i will work on getting my degree in CS and math (that is what i currently study) in the mean time and then get a good paying job. currently i am doing peasant work in a warehouse and i dont have much money left each week nor can i afford to move out which is a huge problem since living with certain people takes a toll on me emotionally i need to seek support also

my life purpose is to understand reality. understand myself. everything else is secondary. hence, i dont actually care that much about money. but isolation and lack of social connection is very hard to deal with so I must get those ducks in a row. probably me weakest link in the chain.

Why were they going 100mph?? is that really the car's fault...
