I'm not changing the company any time soon tho, that's for sure. At least not for the duration of the Trump's presidency, cause he's a complete retard. Gotta always have something stable to survive economic turbulences (and God knows what) his actions will cause No more wild acrobatics or fiascos like from the 6 months back, now I gotta play it safe for real. Can't be retarded like that this time

I may use this section as a daily goal tracking tool, the consistency and quality of it being dependent on my willingness to care about it. It sort of has some element of accountibility partnering to it, though generally people reading this do not actually care to monitor my progress, it still has that feeling It's also unclear just how much stuff I'll be willing to share about myself here, as I generally don't like to be vulnerable with random people, and especially not that comfortable with sharing my faults, regardless of how anonymous this forum may be. Perhaps I'll keep everything abbreviated in such a way in which the posts would be only understandable for me, or perhaps I'll share more. I'll see Regardless, I'd like to take life more seriously and progress in all areas of life (which I deem worthy of bettering and worthy of being goal-chased in the first place) with consistency, rigor, and unyielding will and patience. While also embodying higher consciousness values that I care about. And I am going to end this innitial post vaguely like that

You'd not like it. Let's leave it at that

Not thinking clearly right now. Probably will change my opinion. But man if I had the power. If I had the fuckin power

No, I'm not going there. Fuck them. Things and people should orbit around me, not me orbiting around them. I'll create my own thing for myself and make other people orbit around me. They can suck each other off for all I care. Fuck em I'm not curious about their shit anyway

I was trying to give her a huge benefit of the doubt while reading this, seeing as I'm ussually automatically internally biased towards anything a woman has to say about dating, but this is just a classic case of losing oneself, as a middle aged woman, in your own little self absorbed maze in which your fickle emotions are your God (while they're all just a result of some temporary hormonal fluctuations masking themselves as some deep understandings of human psyche or something), and you're putting the blame on men for not understanding these emotions (but nobody really can, not even yourself). And since she's almost middle aged already, this probably means she'll make herself be single forever, unlike if she was younger. Not because she wouldn't be able to find a man, but because she makes the whole process unnecessarilly complicated for herself. Dating shouldn't be complicated like this at all, it should be simple and smooth It does kinda come off as a dry egg syndrome

I need to drastically increase my job competence, that much is clear, both actual and perceived one. Just not sure which avenue to go towards anymore, but I feel like it's gotta be something both technical and manual. I feel like that way I'll have the most well paid options + not being replaceable by A.I. Plus not enough of this social media ass, braindead ass generation will want to do it or be able to do it, they're all about that software but no hardware knowledge, so there's always going to be demand after these people. Not at all limited to computers But one lesson I learned after my last job is that the best thing is to just play it like you only want to progress the way they need you to, not the way you actually want to. Keep your real goals to yourself, and talk to them like you would talk to NPCs, don't reveal too much about yourself or what you think. Just play it cool and professional the entire time

Alright, seems like I don't have to worry about this anymore. Just going to wait a little while before "celebrating", since it is not yet trully cemented agreement, but a verbal one nontheless, should be enough. This is the kind of joy that would surely seem of little importance to many people, but is a big deal for me since it lifted big boulder off of my shoulders, now I got some space to breathe and manouver and prepare for the future better

Why did he need a friend to manage his crypto account, If he had just bought some Bitcoin and Ethereum and let it sit there, he could have just done that himself LOL. But whatever, dubious business practices attracting other dubious business practices is not surprising to me in the slightest

Bro Im the janitor/security of this fuckin place I swear the God LMAO always making the trash take itself out. Incredible But whatever. If they won't accept me on this current position then they are beyond retarded. And they should go fuck themselves. Like. That role fits me perfectly. Of course it's still a big possibility cause ppl are retarded. I'll go for whatever if that happens, would not care anymore.

It is a real shame that bullet missed

Theres some crazy MFs on this forum fr fr, Im outta this bitch fr fr ngl on my momma

See you on the news, buddy

401k is literaly the same as investing. LOL idk why you keep bringing this up. Literaly makes no difference other than maybe company would be willing to match your contribution to your 401k. And not all companies are willing to offer this, and only big companies and megacorporations or maybe state institutions are able to afford it in the first place. It's complete BS. Just invest on your own, it's much more flexible and your brain matter will increase by thinking a bit Pensions? Are you working in a state institution for several decades, then maybe you'll get one but it's value halved severely by inflation. Other than that, there are no pensions anymore. Social security? LOL it's a ponzi scheme dude. It's existence and stability depends on the young generation paying the social security tax which then directly feeds the old retirees. You can't depend on that with this birth rate, this disguistingly exploitative system, and the kind of prices we have while wages keep being stagnant. Are you actually a troll? Or a boomer? Or both? Yes we need collective retirement strategies, but NOT like those things you mentioned. It has to be something different, but that has to be accomplished by political and social changes, not individual changes Ok? I said the same thing. But most people won't be able to. Prove me wrong. LEL Your ideas about increasing income is the real fantasy. It's what all this retarded hustle culture fantasy and American dream is based on. And majority of self improooovement advice In reality, both increasing your income and investing is more dependent on the actions and mood of other people, than your actions. To think otherwise is delusional. It is a bad investment that should not exist. Just because there's a chance that your future wage/income will be significantly higher after passing college and getting a degree, and that you'll be able to handily pay off student loan as a result, is not a justification for the existence of these loans. They should not be getting a single penny and instead should be state funded completely

Radioactive mutant😄

You ARE the cringe (Have I just outyimpad you?)

I'm too much of a manchild generally, to achieve goals of a too serious, too mature nature is what I'm realizing. But I honestly like it. As long as I can take care of myself (which I can) and I'm not a burden on others (which I'm not) then everything's golden

Idealism nor materialism does not inherently claim that there is no external reality, that would be solipsism. Idealism just claims that everything is made out of mind/consciousness. You can still believe in God as the ultimate perceiver (as an external force outside of yourself) or in objective idealism for example like Hegel did. Etc. etc. Hitler replaced the idea of God with mythical concepts such as Aryan race, "Volk" etc. effectively making it a religious cult

Well, I see the word 'politics' mentioned three times in that headline and subheading, so I have the legal right to talk about politics here - at least until the topic gets moved elsewhere. Checkmate, wokies

Yes You don't need to be a savvy investor anyway, just need patience and some wits LUL well you see, when you are talking about millions of people, there is no "serious strategy". My strategy is that of lowest expectations, so that the lowest common denominator can apply it to their financial life. But some people just win and some people just lose. Such is capitalism. It is a zero sum game. Do you honestly think that millions of people can all magically increase their income? LEL you as an individual can do that. A limited group of people can do that. A whole nation is not going to get paid better by "pulling yourself by the bootstraps" type of philosophy If you see taking student loans as a valid unexpected expense then I don't know what to tell you. You should not be going to any of these universities and feeding this predatory loan system, especially during this job market situation. You'd have to be out if your mind to do that. I'd also feel extra stupid knowing Europeans get access to most of their unis for free

Ehm... maybe you should take a second look at the title of this subforum. LUL The general topic of transgenderism is one of the reasons why populist politicians such as Trump keep winning. So yeah, I'd say this is pretty political

Well the whole point of investing is to set aside money that you won't use for a very long time. Ideally these money should be retirement money. Just keep investing regurarly ammounts of money you can afford to invest and you'll be fine Most people will never be making high incomes and we all kinda know it deep down. Investing into ever growing economies and industries is therefore the only way for lower income people to save enough money for retirement to survive, or even live a nice life. There's honestly no point in investing unless it's for your retirement. If it's not for retirement, it's automatically trading in my opinion - just a long term trading and speculation, that's all Leo has already made retirement money long time ago, so for him it's all about trading and multiplying or even protecting his assets. Which skews his perspective on what regular people shouldn't do. The best way to solve unexpected bills is to not have them in the first place. Being smart, strategic and staying out of trouble. The second best way is to of course make more money, like you said. Easier said than done tho

I can't really understand what these people who genuinely suffer from gender dysphoria are going through. It just never even occurred to me to question my expression of being a dude, or the fact that I'm a dude, etc. But it seems to be, to put it kinda offensively, just a prenatal mess-up in brain development and hormonal levels in these individuals. And it seems to me that all this discourse about "gender identity" is just a projection of these people's troubled psyche - it's like they're projecting their issues onto us, the normal, regular majority, and even categorizing us into newly created boxes such as "cis man," "cis woman," and shit like that. It's almost like they want us to experience the same kind of problems they're experiencing internally in their own minds. But what they don't realize is that this topic was basically non-existent until people like them brought it up (and rich elites used it as one of the main topics of culture war distractions, to divert attention from real problems). You know, I never had to have that internal monologue, and I'm pretty sure most people never had to either—yet the majority chose to treat this problem as if it were one of the most important issues they were facing. Let the mentally ill people find the help they need, sure, be compassionate towards them, sure, hell, even call them by their own pronouns if you feel like it, but don't make it a political issue. That should be common sense

Well of course it's not the same as idealism, but Hitler used that idea and of course twisted it as he saw fit. Nazism was a religion and a cult, it is fairly difficult to subscribe to materialist paradigm and be religious at the same time

Well, I will always be able to afford to "ride out the bump" as long as I'm holding on the long enough time frame. Which is what I'm doing. It doesn't matter how much the economy will crash because I know everything will rise back up again, even after foolish mismanagments of people like Trump. I'm not looking to protect my invested assets because the time frame I'm operating in is measured in decades, not years I could write more but this is common sense at this point
