Since I stopped working in the music industry, I can now safely think about the funny low points. For example, one time my bar had a sold out show with 110 people on a Saturday night and our cashout was less than $200.
my coworker is a frontend dev, insanely cracked, i was looking at the timeline and saw this website. i sent it to him and asked what it could cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer...
"we can't, we don't know how to do it"
The optimal life is simple for girls. One pregnancy a year, starting at puberty. Living with parents means offloading care duties. Assuming twins/triplets, that's a dozen kids by the time for college. Graduate in 3 years while leetcoding. Get a job at big tech. Then transition to being a man. Transition *after* being hired, but *before* starting work. Very important to get the order right. Take the signing bonus and buy a house in detroit. Store kids/nannies there. After 2 years, start looking for a remote job. Offload the actual labor to your first born. Other kids watch/learn. All work as they age into prime coding years (10ish). After 5 years, you have 12 experienced coders and $3 million in savings. Everyone's expecting you to use that capital to found a startup with your kids as the labor. No. You're a maverick. You buy a commercial barge with a marine loan. 3 million down payment gets you a solid 15 mil tank barge with living accommodations. Kids continue working remotely via starlink. You form rationalist fleet and smuggle oil for Russia. On your 30th birthday you "die" at sea. Your 2 dozen grandkids put on a show crying. The fbi ends its investigation.
if you’re a young right wing man please just be honest with yourself in the coming years
it’s ok to cry and also bench 225 and do bjj and give a shit about people who are different from you, you can have it all i promise, it’s not gay or feminine it’s all in your head
