  • Outside of a few essentially third world countries that I could save up a few grand and bribe my way into, there really aren’t any countries that are too keen on accepting Usians for citizenship. You might have better luck if you have a doctorate and speak the local language fluently.

    I had a buddy that expatriated to South Korea years ago to teach English, but I think last time I checked in he was still juggling work visas and had no real chance of being a citizen.

    I could be wrong though, I haven’t checked in on him in a while.

    That thing you like doing that makes you feel better? Stop it.

    Instead do this thing that is tedious/boring that you never look forward to.

    Eventually you will fool yourself into enjoying this boring/tedious task and trick your brain into releasing dopamine when you perform it.




  • My mother had a doctor that refused to move forward with knee surgery because she was so depressed and refused to do therapy because it hurt her knee so much to move around.

    I guess I understand, why go through the trouble of surgery if she’s just going to be a bummer couch potato afterwards and never change her ways?

    But at least she’d be a bummer couch potato whose knee didn’t threaten to give out on her whenever she tried to do laundry in the basement.

    If I take my car in for new brake pads, don’t refuse me service because the transmission is on its way out.
