Thanks for the explanation!

If only we could have a nice unexpected downturn that wouldn’t affect “us” right about now lol

But how do they pay off the loan? They eventually need some sort of cash of their own right? Do they literally borrow to pay off a loan and do that infinitely?

Can I add more trolleys? Can the highspeed rail go back and cover the same path the trolley took? Please?

In a similar position, nowhere near what my perfect life would be. Not even remotely close to it ever happening.

Be in a loving relationship. (Been single for ~10 years. Longest relationship was 8 months…)

Have a secure job that pays well that I enjoy. (I’m 40, uneducated, and work in a factory.)

Own a home where I can have a garden and a workspace for crafts.(See #1&2 for why that’s never happening, currently renting a garage “apartment.”)

Fixing things. Mostly if it’s for someone else.

Unfortunately as far as work goes, two of the things that make me most unhappy: driving, traffic, are tied to the job of fixing things for people so I quit that job :/

It’s either LSA or LSH, it’s been almost 20 years since I made it so I forget which is which, but basically the process involves extracting one of those and turning it into the more potent other.

For me it was like a much weaker LSD, but you still felt it quite a bit.

Lol a few days straight, but then just sporadically over a few months. I didn’t notice much as far as tolerance buildup over those few days

I did LSD for a few months when I lived with a few friends, I loved that stuff.

LSA is pretty cool too and you can make it yourself without any risk of poisoning. Not sure about the rules so I won’t explain how unless someone says it’s cool lol

As far as what constitutes a good sense of humor I think there are a few ways to see it. One way to see it is being able to “take a joke,” to know that you shouldn’t be offended depending on the joke.

Another way to see it is the actual understanding/ability to make jokes and to know when to do so.

A third way to see it is with your eyes.

…ok I’ll leave. :P

The hard part is that you have to be opposed to the marriage as well. She has to choose you, latch on, and then yandere you down the aisle against your will.

I’ve been single for the last decade, resisting it that much will be impossible lol

They’re saying you’re taking things too literally and not thinking about the potential meaning of the sentence.

There is a belief that a lot of Vegans basically preach to others and look down on people who still consume meat. Their use of AI Vegan was meant to utilize that background and apply it to AI, so they don’t want to come off as someone preaching or being a snob about their issues with AI.

The Costanza Rule is real, but any attempt to utilize it is a paradox.

Rule: any decision I make is the wrong decision because I made it therefore I should always do the opposite.

But to do the opposite is also a choice I am making and therefore it too will be the wrong choice.

Funny enough he ends up marrying into extreme wealth lol

Ah yes the Incels famous novel: Atlas Sucks

A copy of the anarchists cookbook.

When you can’t have it anymore you kinda miss it. At your age I had shoulder length hair and loved it.

Now I have the Vegeta hairline and the typical bald spot on the top so I buzz my hair super super short. I hate it to be honest, but it’s better than looking pathetic holding on to what little hair I have just to have it longer lol

This is pretty much what I do with every “upper level” comment I write. It’s almost never directed at OP, it’s meant for anyone reading it.

“They’re not rocks Marie!!”

…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!

I’d like to think I’d find meaning elsewhere, and maybe that’s true, but I’m skeptical. I’m almost certainly just kidding myself when I think that I would. I’d just sit at home smoking weed and watching YouTube videos.

But if that’s what you enjoyed then that is what you’d do and it would make you happy. If it didn’t make you happy you wouldn’t do it. So maybe that’s how your life after work would start, but if you became restless and stopped enjoying it you have your background in contracting and you’d probably take on some more enjoyable creative aspect of that role.

In the end your life doesn’t only have meaning if it’s defined by a job title, it’s defined by how you live it. It doesn’t even need to have “meaning” outside of your own enjoyment of life.
