my nerves were on the outside of my body today, so it was a little rough to move out among people

you don't know anything about how well your country functions unless you've made friends with a few people who don't fit into the system

why is it always that when you get attention you get addicted to it

as a person with executive function issues (#ADHD) i see the value of having that more than others, i think. it gives some insight. all people vary in how much they have of that trait. some people are almost machine-like in their ability to coherently execute a plan. others are less so. this ability to persistently organise and execute is how people make more money, gain more power, have more sex. it's not entirely up to you. circumstances and genes play a significant role. significant enough that i can't really be a right winger. it's just too obvious that the playing field isn't even.

a friend of mine has all these airline miles he doesn't know what to do with, and also, free cruises to Denmark. they're usually off-season cruises on inconvenient days, but seeing as i'm not employed, that's not really a problem for me.

whether you're male or female and whether you're friends with a male or a female, one of the least interesting things you can talk about with your friends is your love interests and partners, unless they're mutual friends. more broadly speaking, listening to people talk about people you've never met is pretty uninteresting.

this is what sucks about being friends with people who are in relationships, car stuff or not

you read it on Wikipedia once? i read Wikipedia too. shocking, isn't it...

here's a job i would do everyone comes to me for something and i give them to me, and i'm the guy everyone in my community knows for that thing. i'm extremely motivated by attention and affection from others. there was ZERO of that in my programming jobs. i don't work for anyone unless i feel seen. money is cold and doesn't motivate me. it's just this crap i need to survive and buy things i want. i'd be fine with the Star Trek replicator. but i'd still want a job like i described above.

and if you put Linux on it, hardly anyone will like it

don't try to start a business on your own unless you already have customers. this sounds a bit backward but let me explain: you can do business as an individual and sell goods and services to people that you encounter. if you start earning real money on that, and business is growing to the point where you need more than one person, that's the time to do the paperwork to register a business, get an accountant, etc. if you do it too early, you're just going to be doing more paperwork and waste money. it needs to have a certain scale before the authorities care to tax it anyway. for a brick and mortar business the story is a bit different, but again, this is much easier to do if you already know people who would want to be customers of such a shop. starting anything completely from scratch with no network is though. cold calling is the least efficient way of getting sales except for advertising. as you can see, none of this is about how cool your business idea is. it's usually the case that the best business idea is determined by your circumstances and abilities, and what people in your network are looking to buy. not all circumstances and abilities are conducive to starting a business. this is not a level playing field.
