I’m working on adding to my vocabulary:

“Please be yourself.”

🚀🌝

Free space.

Excellent. Can “brings up love of trains in an unrelated conversation” have a separate space from “the world would be a utopia without cars”?

It’s basically the same, but I really like trains and wanted an excuse to mention them.

Sub-thread of a conversation of something unrelated becomes an open source software recommendations mini thread.

I heard one of their private rape islands got shut down. That had to be inconvenient.

Luckily for the billionaires they don’t own any homes, their homes are part of a complex companies, or some bullshit.

We got the nerd tech who exudes, “I’d rather be at ComiCon.”

Wow. That describes my whole team.

Probably depends where the Bayer funding is at.

also anyone here into manifestation/law of attraction, does it actually work for you? not asking to like wish for money lol, more curious how you actually get into a good headspace and stay there day to day

I remember the random people I’ve interacted that I really liked.

Then I taught myself enough acting skills to pretend to be that person.

(Edit: I’m not amazing at this. It just doesn’t take that much skill or effort to become a favorite customer, while so many customers suck.)

I get genrally better service than anyone else.

I also tip well, because I can. That probably helps, but that’s not why I do it.

As others said: Choose to fall in love with brushing and flossing your teeth.

Make that shit your “me” time.

Experiment with expensive or esoteric ways to make it feel great.

If it’s not the best part of your day, change things up until it is.

I would have suffered less if I had figured this out sooner.

does manifestation actually work

Not unless your parents are rich.

had some bad losses in trading lately, took a short break and now trying to actually fix my risk management before going back in

Good for you getting out. Don’t get back in. No more day trading. Day trading is anti-social shithead behavior, anyway. If you don’t feel bad for doing it, take a closer look. It doesn’t pass any kind of pro-social test.

if you’re older and already been through your 20s, what do you wish someone told you back then?

Someone did tell me this, but I was a stupid kid. I followed it, but I started stupdily late.

Maybe you’re smarter than I was, but forgive yourself later if you’re not - you’re at least in good company.

Here is is:

"Time in the market always beats market timing. Buy conservative things with real value - ideally that routinely pay a dividend. Hold on to them.

However powerful you think you know compounding interest is, you’re wrong. It’s substantially more powerful than that.

Get it - compounding interest - on your side right now, and keep it there, anytime you can.

Don’t take out any debt that you can possibly avoid."

Probably zone out all day on my home emotional manipulaor machine.

That guy is clearly an expert.

Thought about a couple cases of his favorite beer. Still might do that. Any other ideas?

Consumables that the person already likes make great gifts, since they will get used up and not sit around.

I usually avoid abusable substances, just in case the person has a carefully balanced relationship with that substance.

But you know your friend.

Sometimes I just ask first. No real reason this needs to be a surprise.

“I know you said you won’t take cash, but I’m going to grab you two cases of X as a thank you, on my way back.”

Then they get a chance to call me off, or redirect me if it would be a problem.

And I’ll always let them call it off with even a mild “no thanks”, since they might not want to say to me “I have a real problem with X and I can’t safely have thay much on hand.”.
