  • At this point Putin has no choice but to keep the war going. His economy is sliding, and has been, and all that’s propping it up is the switch to a wartime economy. Take that away and the whole house of cards collapses. So I don’t give two shits what he says about anything regarding all this. He’s stuck with no moves left.

    Oh, and his population has been crashing for years. And now Russia is losing a solid chunk of healthy young men. Remember Putin creating a national holiday years ago? Everyone was to stay home and fuck. I’m not making this up. Haven’t heard about it for a long time. Anyone?

    I’d work double and rake in the simoleans, at least for awhile. Technically, I’m not doing any more work than I was already. Even for the long term, retire in 20 vs 40?

    OR, we split down and use the free time to pursue other lines of making money. “Fuck you. Your turn at Lowe’s, I’m making dog houses today.”











  • 21 is a weird age. From the outside I seemed fine, but the inner turmoil was like going through puberty again. And the same happened at 29 or so! I thought, “Am I going to go through this shit every seven years for life?!”

    Sounds like your problem is self confidence, and while I’m healthily confident, I’m certainly not qualified to say much. When I’ve gotten down in the past I’ve taken a step back and worked on my appearance. That’s all on you and doesn’t depend on others. The nicer you look, the better people treat you and that blooms confidence.

    Looking good isn’t as hard as people make out. No, you don’t have to be rich. Can you get your teeth whiter, lose weight, catch a bit of sun, dress better, exercise, do something with your hair? I’ve noticed in life that the vast majority of us could easily be more attractive with a little work, and it’s a truly rare person I’d consider “maxed out”, no room to improve.

    Any of that make sense?
