It’s been years since I saw all the movies I ever wanted to see from the beginning of cinematography up until that point. And now they only make shit movies, what’s a man to do but enjoy memes?
There’s just too much… between work, home life details, and trying to pay attention to the state of the world on 20 different fronts, I just don’t feel like I have the bandwidth to be like “gee, I’m going to pick up a new skill today!” I need that downtime to veg on the couch and look at memes, it’s way less exhausting.
Dude I’m trying to learn how to program. Some days I can’t even get started until midnight when tired brain is kicking in. There’s just not enough time in the day.
Find something programming related that really interests your curiosity no matter how useless and work on that. Nothing motivates learning like having something you want to do with the skill beyond “so I can make more money”.
Maybe you want to learn networking protocols and data parsing and connectivity, make a trojan horse, or a packet sniffer, or a key logger.
Maybe you want to understand algorithmic processing and wrap your head around design principles, build a calculator that intentionally doesn’t work and produces funny results.
Maybe you want to get into game development? Make a dope wars clone.
You have to find your interest, after that the motivation finds itself.
I like caves (been to like only 2 or 3 though, lol), but if I become stupid enough to trap myself in one, I hope no one would risk a life to rescue me. That’s what’s actually the worst thing about situations like this.
Yeah, the articles about this explain how there was a multi day rescue effort, several people were so traumatized they never wanted to cave again, one rescuer got smashed in the face with a pulley that came out of the ceiling, and the cave ended up being sealed with concrete. It was known as an easy cave though and the rescuers weren’t otherwise in danger.
The funny part about that is you eventually come back around.
The vast majority of humanity is doing their part. Most in small ways and few in ways that change the world every day.
Humanity will always prevail with the general masses benefiting no matter how many scummy people try to exploit us, the earth, and eventually other solar bodies.
Alternatively, we will go extinct having never left this solar body because of the long standing history of scummy people that would rather make profit now than address climate change
Depends on what you’re knowing. The world only starts to look worse and worse when you learn more about geopolitics and climate change. I’ve never had new knowledge about orbital mechanics or lockpicking or 3d printing give me a negative outlook on life
Not sure that’s the worst thing. The humility that brings is one of the most profound discoveries someone can make imo. You can almost feel it in people of high intellect that have tried to know everything about almost anything. Realizing this allows you to recognize that arrogance always equals ignorance.
Naaaah mate. I am currently stuck in the worst place. While still curious about shit, I know enough for the world to lose it’s magic but not enough to see the even deeper magic within various phenomena. :(
That’s a nice community, maybe we can spotlight it through out Community Spotlight feature. I’ll suggest it!
In reality, I do a lot of learning for work (I’m a psychotherapist, there is always new stuff coming out and new certifications and trainings to take. We have to take a certain number of credits annually, and I always exceed that number). Add in keeping up with US and world politics and news… I’m spent. I need the maymays to zone out. Give me all the raccoons and opossums you’ve got!
You just use it to buy drugs so you don’t have to use your other money for drugs. Kinda like how you use your dirty cash for filling up your car, paying for groceries, contractors… You can basically build an entire house with cash and then sell it and pay taxes and shit.
You probably wouldn’t need laundered crypto, but you would need to be able to hide it from the bankruptcy court. This only works if you can clear the credit card debt.
I pay for my VPN in Monero. You can also get items shipped to an Amazon Locker near you with Monero. I agree, the adoption isn’t great but it’s better than nothing.
Edit:
Sorry, it’s late and I’m tired. I misunderstood your comment. No it doesn’t need to be laundered. It obfuscates the amount of money, recipient and receiver meaning it’s as private as giving your friend some cash in person.
Yes, I understand how monero works. Yeah you’ll get away with buying some groceries or whatever with it, but people who go through bankruptcy (especially who aren’t rich, and are felons) have a close eye from the government on their finances. If you try to buy a house or a car or anything actually life changing with that, you’re pretty likely to get caught and charged with fraud etc., unless you legitimise it, that is, launder it.
