Talk to the people that helped you! Don't assume they don't need help from you now, because a lot of people put up a brave front

It is pretty decent strategy. Wait for a once a century global pandemic, then buy like crazy at the bottom!
I didn't know it was gonna be the pandemic that did it. I was getting ready to get in because I saw the tiny yield curve inversion in like August or September of 2019 and was preparing to make up for lost decades of not investing at all. I learned all I needed to know in three weeks on youtube and I dunno, it worked for me.
I'm no expert myself in anything, but I pick my experts carefully
You can be incredibly fucking lazy for most of your life except for a few key hinges
I got out of your situation by getting interested in investing in 2020. I made smart bets in march that year and had 5X the money when I dumped all my tsla stock teo years ago
I suggest getting a job that you like and is low stress. I spend all my free time studying everything there is to know about human interaction. there are all kinds of subtleties in dating an I'm learning the purpose of each structure. it's like a clutch
if you reveal your hand too fast, you dump the clutch and stall the entine and maybe jerk forward. if you do the the opposite, that's called riding the clutch and in this analogy you wait too long to act toward your nascent goal and the other party loses whatever interest they may have had
you have to constantly re-evaluate this after every single interaction
you have to take an interest in their lives and anticipate their needs
I refused to buy the first one because it didn't have a round face. and since then I've decided that I don't want anything at all from Apple in my life, even if they one day do manage to make it pretty and round. everything they make is exploitative

NATO and the UN are both American institutions, and they ultimately serve American interests above all else.
No matter what the future holds for these particular organizations, we should all hope for better and more neutral ones that actually maintain fairness and peace. We need something that's truly independent of all three superpowers

I'm saddened to see this is the thing that's being resisted, rather than the Trump administration's desire to throw me in prison for being a trans woman
I spent a very long time giving SolveSpace a native Haiku UI. I'm going to keep doing this kind of thing because there's nothing I personally dislike more than apps that don't use the platform's native UI.
I don't care that my approach is harder for the developer, because the thing I care about is consistency and convenience for the user.
I know the thing you built is neat (I've spent quite a few years working on almost the same thing), but I guess this is why I gave up on pushing my own solution
I'd go for ARM anyway. I don't need to run binaries from the 90s
Over the years, I learned more about Jung, what cognitive functions are and how to identify them, the research of Dr. Dario Nardi, etc. When I think about MBTI types these days, I have a lot of experiences to draw on that make them more real to me.
It took me a long time to understand that the MBTI tests out there are of limited value. I only treat them as a starting point when establishing someone else's type in my mind. To really figure someone out, you have to be able to take into account a ton of other things, including childhood traumas, neurodivergence, etc.
