That one question "If you woke up tomorrow with 100 million dollars, what would you do to improve your life right now?" Is very powerful. My first response was "Pay off all my debt".

The second most powerful question is: "What else?"

What else would you do after your debts are paid? What else would make you happy once you don't HAVE to work? What else would you do now you are debt free and have the time you need to enjoy life? What else fulfills you?

By the time I hit the 3rd/4th "What else?" I realised what I was actually needing. In my specific case it was a creative outlet that I had been neglecting for years. I would remind myself daily about that one goal and, thought it took me 3 weeks, I eventually managed to pull out my guitar and start playing again.

2 years later and I'm sucking at guitar daily and going for runs. I have remade connections with people I thought were lost and genuinely started enjoying the little bits of life I have made. Debt is still there and work is relentless, but my 30min with my guitar has become a grounding point where I can remind myself "Things will get better, incrementally. What else can I do to make the little things better?"

Apologies about the wall of text. Depression is the worst version of ourselves and I hope OP can get through it.

There's a lot of money in nostalgia these days. I agree. He's made the intelligent decision and we should be seeking to uphold the nostalgia momentum he's generated.

I don't know what you're doing, but the way you can turn a phrase around is remarkable. You've gotten a few chuckles outta me this morning.

I post infrequently for a number of reasons, but prime among them is the thought "Nobody actually cares". Your sincerity was touching and sorely needed in all online spaces.

Keep being you. Thank you for bringing some humanity into this inhuman space.

But there is nothing more versatile and meaningful than a good "Fuck".

"That fucking fucker fucked me over". Doesn't that phrase just warm the cockles of your heart?

Do you have any recommendations for a non-disposable that is good for legs? I have had the same safety razor for almost a decade but still shill out too much money for disposables because the safety razor tears up my knees/ankles.

Just got engaged to my long term partner. We live with 2 other people and, with the way things are going, we will be married and still sharing accommodation because 2 full time jobs aren't enough to cover rent AND food.

My bootstraps can't be pulled any higher. I work 6 days a week and spend my Sunday working on my web design business to try make ends meet. Thank god I'm paying my landlords mortgage. I can't imagine how they're coping at the moment...

Its a clown world.

Aussie here. Using Firefox and UBO, but with default settings. I downloaded the extension, popped it on about 4 years ago and haven't done anything since. I've had the same experience as you - no video delays or pop ups.

Could we just be "lucky"?

Sorry if this isn't the right place. But the comments here spurred this train of thought.

It seems everyone agrees that the ultra wealthy are the real problem. Yet there is always consistent divisive arguments about which group of people that the wealthy should be oppressing 'more'.

Men and women of every race are being brutalized by a system that doesn't give two shits about us. This system is governed by people who are incapable of empathy.

Studies and articles are released constantly detailing the destruction of our society/civilisation and instead of humans banding against the monsters that control the wealth (and, by extension, the world), yet we argue amongst ourselves.

We are being systematically turned on each other so that the 1% can become the .1%. Until the 99% can actually co-operate against the system, we are doomed to repeat this God forsaken cycle.

Is this in reference to the eyes? I rapid-fired through the stages of grief looking at them before landing on "It's neat. They look weird but the artist makes it work"

The distinction was being made between Hamas and Palestinian people. I think it's a safe assumption that Hamas isn't fighting the land of Israel itself, but instead the people. Sure, Israel (the land, the physical location) is definitely being damaged and attacked, but I'm certain the OP didn't want to bring attention to some damaged environment- rather the dead and dying people.

You deserve all the happiness in the world and I hope you get it.
