"Hope is just a first step on a road to disappointment"
After one price hike after another for almost a decade soon, roughly since 2017.
There is no point to hope anymore, there will either be some new issues or manufactures have just gotten used to the high prices and will not lower those significantly. Even if they do start to bring down prices and AI shit ends, everyone will run to upgrade their rigs and scalpers will take full advantage of it.
This is new reality.
Skill issue at communication and my plate is already overflowing when it comes to socializing. I just don't have the social energy left over to add in another social activity.
Noup, not really. Hitting the gym after breakfast, though gotta ad in arms and abs today as i cut yesterdays session shorter, then the grocery store for the weekly trip, later helping my wife package up he bicycle for a trip and in the evening finishing the day off with playing some Diablo 4 in the PC.
Though i think it's going to be kinda decent day actually.
"At all" is kinda contradictory part. Limiting harm to others would already necessitate limiting freedoms and the more people and closer together they live the more freedoms are limited.
Living in the middle of nowhere and a person can do almost whatever pops in their mind, almost absolute freedom.
Living in a city and there's a long list of laws/rules/regulations that already limit what one can do. Not that those are bad limitations.
But how does one actually even know? It's not like someone shakes your hand and congratulates you, no flashing party lights, no balloons falling from the sky, when you ponder enough and suddenly figure it out.
There aren't any clear signs, just guessing. So it's not that unfeasible that person can keep pondering over it and never get closer to the answer.
I actually rather like cars. Old American muscle cars are beautiful and sound like heaven. Those haven't been managed to reproduce to this day.Same for big cars, like The marauder from Top Gear or Mad max style cars, those are awesome.
Same for drag racing, both big and small cars. Seeing a huge truck twisting it's frame when starting is kinda awesome.
What i hate is the infrastructure demand, environmental cost and worshipping of everyday cars. It's just a transportation method, one of the least efficient, expensive, ugly and i doubt that any single person in existence enjoys sitting stuck in a traffic. Which what most of the daily driving is. In addition to the stress that's associated with actually driving responsibly, but way too many people fail that part anyway while endangering everyone around them.
That's an interesting observation. Though i can't say there's any difference between different social classes. Pretty much everyone will melt into background noise, unless I'm specifically looking for that specific individual.
Not really, still the same. Though don't get me wrong, as i can assume it gets interpreted as i treat people badly or abuse them in any way. I don't. I am not a sociopath or psychopath, that has been confirmed by a psychologist. I just completely lack the "connection" concept with people or some specific type of an attachment. ASD hits my social aspect the strongest.For me people aren't really special, we're all just biological machines. Pretty much the same as a robot vacuum cleaner, just much more complex. I treat objects and people the with the same love and care, but that means that people melt into the same indistinguishable background noise. Like how much attention do you give to a random item on the street when walking past it? Just enough to not stumble into it and that's it.
Though I've never understood why it's supposed to be bad? It's not in any way harmful to others, maybe even positive as there's no judgment or any negative treatment towards them and once i have to actively engage with anyone. I remain cordial and often times even outright friendly and helpful.
14 year old me would not even have the capacity to comprehend it.
Future was just some made up nonsense back then and absolutely every single adult was part of a hive mind connected back to my mother.
In addition, people weren't really people, they were more like background noise who i had to be cautious of. The world didn't exist outside my field of view.
Why 24? If you don't mind asking. That's kinda odd number.
Like i chose 18, as im an adult by then and all the drug lectures at school painted a picture that I'd be offered drugs everywhere. So the plan was to OD at 18th birthday, seemed kinda nice way to go and a better alternative than become communal Fleshlight in the prison. Not that there was even any realistic threat of that happening, but thats in hindsight.
Fair point, i can see it from that perspective and yeah focusing on satiety is better alternative and more sustainable than just eating less, but still eating junk.

Better to just find a new hobby.
