That could be true, the only question then remains whether having a certain X ammount of power in Z area of your life is worth taking on Y ammount of responsibility, and the answer to that question is not so obvious as outright "yes" sometimes It's also not so obvious what are the things you control and can become responsible of

@Emerald I do tend to avoid responsibility, that much is true. But I think most responsibility is just BS someone else enforced upon us and doesn't actually benefit an individual in any specific way, I tend to view the word "responsibility" as something rather repulsive and something to stray away from. And get to a place in life in which there's the least ammount of responsibility possible, while also living an enjoyable life

Just continue to try until you get some. And if you don't, well, make peace with being a virgin for the rest of your life. Or start making money and keep visiting prostitutes and try to marry one of them. Like that guy from Pretty Woman, you know, be a mister save-a-hoe It is just a fact of life that for some men, rizzing up women is like going on a stroll on a nice Saturday morning, while for other men it is like the labour of Sisyphus

Hopefully there once comes a point at which I'll be pursuing specific XY things to such a degree that their pursuit becomes a sufficient evidence for me to have an actual use of this journal LMAO (Im not actually laughing but I am amused) and start tracking them down systematically

No more chit chatting with other users. I will still be posting responses to any topic from other people or even trolly response if it pleases me to do so, but only a singular response per topic, no more. And absolutely no back and forth type of thing. I believe just by seeing how you posters respond to others, I can already know what your views are and how they compare to my own views, so I would not get any additional value from any bit of back and forth. I am of the belief that I am smarter than all of you (yes, even smarter than you, dear reader)

I've been doing some thinking. About my options. I think a goal that might motivate me, is a goal of "stop working by the age of 40". Whether that means actually stop working i.e. early retirement, or on the other hand doing something I actually would do for free anyway - or whatever really. But the idea is that I don't want to work anymore by the age of 40. I think this could be realistic, I've got 15 years to figure something out Society would like you to work until you die because they want to extract as much value and juice out of you as possible. But I don't even want to work until the official retirement age.

If yall wouldn't mind relocating to a third world countries or to eastern Europe, then yeah it could be aviable option. This assumes that you would be able to hold down a US job while living abroad, and not that many people can do that Althought ofc I expected the thought train wouldn't go this far, given the great discrepancy between American positive view of their inteligence vs their actual inteligence and financial literacy

I do not think in these bullshit self help terms You have a certain ammount of free will to choose what you're going to do, but the choices you make are deeply influenced by tens or even perhaps houndreds of factors outside of your control, be it internal or external factors. You can help yourself somewhat, but you are ultimately at life's mercy You can shake your hands with Emerald now LOL also called me a victim, just for criticizing women. I still stand by all of those criticisms btw, but, it's important to realize that men are even more retarded, so I guess other men here can call me victim as well and you can all join together in a big celebration and keep calling me a victim, for all I care LOL Also, I'm not taking life advice from crypto bros LEL

Men like them (and men in general - but especially men like them) are responsible for about 70% of male collective missery

We are fools. What else to say

Sort of like an emperor of the mankind from the Warhammer 40k universe. LOL I guess we don't really need to expand into space at all. After all there's no evidence of any aliens doing that either. Maybe the space is just supposed to be left as it is, lifeless and barren. Maybe that's why the distances between all the objects of the universe are so vast, it's a way for a God to say "Why you even bother you stupid mortal, just stay at your home planet"

Genocide is not a necessary prerequisite for a fascist/nazi system. And I don't think any such genocides will ever happen again. But wars, deportations and authoritarian regimes are still possible

They're capitalist nazis, is what they are. They're essentially attempting the same concept of national socialism, but with not much emphasis on race, ethnicity and nationality, but instead they diluted it with capitalism. That's because the party is led by Trump, who's a narcisistic capitalist toddler - and he doesn't care that much about any principle or belief other than the ones that'd further fuel his narcisism. But then there are other people around him, working with him who do care about the nationalistic element of it all as well as getting rich of it all. So yes, all the evidence points out that they are indeed nazis, although a slightly different kind You Americans fucked up big time. BIG TIME. Expect some proper turbulences

Yeah obviously if you take it to that extreme the nerves in the parts of your body which are staying stationary will start to deaden very soon, and then progressively worse and worse effects which we all probably know about will manifest themselves later on. I guess my ultimate point is to listen to your body and mind, and do the kind and the ammount of physical activity that soothes both the best in your specific case

And this is based on? Or have all mods collectively decided to speak out of their bottoms today? LOL

No, good diet and being out in nature and getting enough sun is what's actually crucial for your health. Exercise is just a coping mechanism we've created in the modern age to offset all the "privileges" we've made for ourselves, such as sitting in an office, scrolling phone endlessly to see what's new in the social media matrix, having access to plentifull of tasty low quality food, breathing toxic car fumes, and plenty of other such priviliges. Notice that I never claimed that you shouldn't exercise. You'll never find such a thing in my previous posts. But hyping it so much is kinda cringe, especially justifying it by some numbers and percentages pulled from ass basically. Diet and sunlight exposure in nature is the king, not exercise. That's oversimplification

Stuck in what way tho? You guys are just missing my point entirely. You can't even tell me what exactly this imaginary progress really is. LOL but I am the one who's lost here, right. I'm just not the type of guy to just robotically do certain activities without any proper reason behind doing them. But by all means, suit yourselves and go track your "progress" which you can't really even define a worth of LOL

LUL I know a certain guy who'd love to wear that

It wouldn't be that hard, it's not like these hunters were superhuman or something, it's all about running in a consistent tempo and fast enough so that an antilope keeps seeing you as a threat so it keeps running, but slow enough to not make it a sprint, it's guaranteed that it's gonna get tired eventually. Most long distance running exercises are harder than that Then why have all these inteligent geniuses never exercised while it's always meatheads who have low IQ. I'm not buying it.

Lol we were not "designed to exercise". We just did whatever was needed to survive, if that required chasing down an antilope or a mammoth, then that's what we did. We never did even an ounce more than what was required of us to survive, and at large we used the rest of the time to do nothing and be lazy. Nowadays we have no real motivators like that (survival based), they're gone completely. Thus all these attempts at promoting exercise always feel rather empty. What does even "potential" mean in this case - that throught enough exercise you can.... do more and better exercise? LOL

Yes indeed, it is the boring stuff that always works. But ofc that won't stop people from endlessly talking about investing as if it was some hard science worthy of being discussed endlessly LOL ideally you'd do all these strategies at once - consistently auto investing the exact way you've described, while also trying to time the market with a portion of your money saved up, buying property and gold, speculating with crypto, etc. Tbh sometimes I'm at a bit of a loss about the choices investors collectively make, like, for example what is their reasoning behind pulling out of S&P 500 ETFs. "Trump create tarifs so me no trust American economy no more" not realizing that by doing that they'll eventually make those stocks a good investment again. It's just all one big illusion and game

Ba-dam-tssssss I'm Don Di Don Don

It is a strange thing that I've chosen and am continually choosing to live out my days in such a passive, uneventfull manner, just sort of letting the days slip by. But I can't help it, I've always liked to be comfortable a bit too much. But it is a specific kind of comfortable joy I am seeking, it is not the kind of comfort fat people seek for example, it's different. It's like I keep wanting to remain a child

Bro, and here I am, fantasizing about how I would only need a 100k for me to invest properly in a way in which it would easilly sustain me for a lifetime. We trully are living in different realities

That's kinda true in a way, but at the same time you wouldn't want any place to be constantly spammed with profanities, it would get disguisting and tiresome to look at after a certain period of time. Honest to God, I would talk much more shit to people and would be more of a trashtalker if it wasn't penalized, but then it'd be difficult for me to stop, or I would stop too late. So, I recognize that, at the end of the day, the work mods are doing here is very much valid. But of course, just because the profanities are not on the screen doesn't make them dissapear from my mind, and in the most cases they are truthfull
