I'm just trying to figure things out, experiment, and enjoy.

My boy Odysseus here, he’s wicked smaht

I wanted to be on this show and Guts.

It was every kids dream to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple. This was Shangri-La. The Holy Grail.

@LoganARobison Heber feels like the new Park City. We were at last years Swiss Days and our friends who grew up there were stunned at how much it’s growing

I think for me the car was the freedom I needed. My home life sucked hard due to alcohol and drug addictions between my dad and brothers, and when I got that car it was so liberating to just be away from it all

Have had a job right before I turned 16, rode a skateboard into work until I bought a $2000 car, $150 on insurance very month.

We’d skateboard a lot, eat at Dennys, make dry ice bombs, go bowling, see movies, drive down to go cliff jumping, drive to shitty concerts in Fresno.

I get why kids aren’t racing to get their driver’s licenses anymore.

Cars are expensive. Insurance is absurd. Gas isn’t cheap. A trip through the Taco Bell drive-thru somehow requires a consultation with your financial advisor.

But young bucks, listen to the millennial:

You are massively overestimating how much money is required to have fun.

We were broke too.

We just had lower standards.

Millennials would pile six people into a 1994 Toyota Previa with a check engine light that had achieved permanent residency.

Someone knew a lake.

Someone’s older brother knew how to acquire questionable booze.

Someone had $11.

Download every fast food app on your phone. Become a scholar of the value menu. Split gas. Buy a football. Find a swimming hole. Go fishing with equipment your dad hasn’t touched since 2004. Build a fire where you’re legally allowed to build a fire.

Go to minor league baseball games. High school football games. Free concerts. County fairs. Hiking trails. Run a stupid 5K together. Get six friends and invent a competition so poorly organized someone nearly loses a shoe.

Stop waiting for entertainment to be sold to you.

That’s the trap.

You think “going out” means spending $80 at a restaurant, buying $17 cocktails and paying $40 to park because that’s what adults on Instagram do.

You’re 17.

Your advantage is that nobody expects you to have any money.

Get your license if you can. Get a shitty car. Find five good friends.

Then go.

The lake is still there.

The woods are still there.

The girls are still out there.

Taco Bell still occasionally makes serious accounting errors on its app.

Your youth is too valuable to spend complaining that fun got expensive.

Become cheaper.

Become more creative.

Go make some stories.

Just have one of you stay sober and drive the shitty van home.

On the other hand though, I’ve noticed many people I work with completely phoning it in at their jobs with AI, and just pushing garbage. And am finding mgmt not noticing it annoying as well

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

On one hand I find the folks annoying who bemoan ai slop and virtue signal against folks who rightly recognize its not going anywhere and are interested in pushing the boundaries of this new tool.

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@Templarpilled One of the best

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

I never really had any problems with my older brother being gay, however there was a time I was giving a ride to him and his boyfriend, literal 30 yr gap difference, and my brother was bragging that he did heroin with Iggy Pop…

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

I'll always laugh about one interaction w/ a co-worker where we were coming up w/ error messages for an application, and she asked, "Are we an Oops kind of company or a Whoops kind of a company?"

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

I want to believe

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@neilmwhite Outfit is what did it

[Atlas Press @realAtlasPress]

Benjamin Franklin, what a line

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@pleasemilf And if you’re persistent enough the song recs will find you

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@pleasemilf I had the same train of thoughts haha

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@rankintweets We have the same journals haha

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

At this point, if you have any interest in any self help books it’s best to just take a picture and ask gpt to give you the action items and call it good

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

@growing_daniel I truly do too. So annoying to deal with details that ultimately don’t matter

[Shane Warren @shanewwarren]

Driving down to Vegas crazy fires along the way.
