Under appreciate them right back. Try to keep work about funding your lifestyle.

I don't know how intense or emotional your job is, so that advice might not be practical. But I do think everyone needs to set boundaries, but also emotional boundaries. Please make sure work isn't wearing you down when you aren't there. Try taking a few minutes to reset after clocking out, and close the door on your work day.

I am not hopeful about our future. But something I came to terms with is that I am going to die. It might be in 40 years or it might be sooner, it could be next year. But it will happen. Also, it's possible that I don't just die but life becomes incredibly unpleasant. All the same to me in this current point in time, where I am able and I have means to do interesting things.

I know this is hand-wavy but I heard someone say something along the lines "we need to stop worrying about putting more years in our life, but work on putting more life in our years."

This sort of mantra helps keep me grounded when I'm deciding what to do with myself and my family on a day to day basis.

Thanks. The android keyboard ruins my life.

I put a good chunk of my 401k in CDs.

Edit:

It's less than an 8th of my fund, just because I don't like where the market is sitting right now, I'm keeping something secure in case something bad happens to me while something bad happens to the world.

My point was to respond to someone who is morally opposed to stocks. There are other ways to go about it (irrespective of good advice).

Take what you can't afford, support what you can, share if you dare, and do not trade for money.

"What is the human thinking about?'

Get obsessed with learning new ways to be safe. It's more fun than it sounds like, I think doing a great job being in traffic and choosing the right way to control your bike is a really rewarding path. And the safer you are the longer you get to ride.

Oh no! I hope you all can get along still anyway.

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Hardware and platforms are just for running software on, pick what works for you!

You can't possibly know that

I hate doing my bedding too.

Actually I don't even hate it, I just never think of it. It never seems to force me to think about it like other dirty things do.

May I ask what kind of tool you use for the automated checklist?

Reminds me of a few different darknet diaries episodes. https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/24/

A friendship built on a foundation of egocentric manipulation? No thank you.

I have the best success using a towel snap against flies.

Sometimes I think I don't even hit them but it stuns them so they fall to the floor.

There is always an element of luck, but we do have to be prepared to leverage that luck. Thanks for sharing!

If you exist you are not underqualified! I want to hear everyone's version of the human experience and making things work in our societies.

If you aren't satisfied with where you're at, it may put things in perspectivefor other readers just as much as the earlier portions of someone else's story who is pleased with their career progress.

I recently heard an idea that "success is a lagging indicator". You cannot know that you are not currently on a path to success.

I guess that's probably easier than learning how to wipe your ass.

I don't know how to contribute but I'm looking forward to following the insights here. I desperately need to become more intentional in my life and fix up my default behaviors especially with my Internet habits.

YouTube doesn't owe you this. It's up to you and creators to accept it or move away
