My only regret is nicotine. All the other stuff I put in my post is about things I’m happy I did right.

Never too late for a career change. Started my 2nd career at 30. 12 years later I’m the lead software engineer on a large project.

Know your financials, income and outflow. Use a credit card for everything but pay it off every month don’t over spend.

Unless you have a full ride scholarship do your general education at a community college.

If you don’t want to go to school join a trade union apprenticeship program. Talk to your local unions while you’re still in highschool so you can be prepared for the process.

IMO electrician > plumber/pipefitter > HVAC > the rest. Carpenter might be above HVAC but I didn’t really talk with any of them. I got hurt in my final year of my plumbing apprenticeship, I did graduate and become a journeyman plumber but left the field shortly after graduation to avoid back surgery. I’m a software engineer now.

Wait for kids. Learn to cook. Exercise. Work hard. Read. No nicotine, cocaine, opioids or other fiercely addictive substances. Everything else in moderation Don’t rush to have sex, but I’m def not advocating waiting till marriage.

Didn’t settle in your relationships, just because you’ve been together a long time doesn’t mean it needs to be forever. I didn’t marry or give up my desire to not have kids with my 5.5 year relationship. Turns out I just didn’t want kids with her. Imeet my wife 3 years later married her after a year and intentionally had a kid the following year(more than 9 months after our wedding thank you very much)

Now share the craziest stories!

Inglorious bastards is the best hands down.

Ubuntu - RHEL - Fedora - Arch

Trump creams in his pants thinking about having the control the Chinese government has.

It’s not even hate, I listened to their music, but I never thought they were great music. I read a lot of books mostly litrpg, I’ll never pretend they are great literature but it’s enjoyable, fast food books. Limp Bizkit is fast food music.

Records sold doesn’t = valuable music, culturally. Blink 182 was huge they didn’t make a lasting impact on music.

It’s ok if you like limp Bizkit but stop pretending like they made meaningful music. Next you’ll be comparing them to the Beatles.

I was in highschool when they came on the scene. I’m well aware of Woodstock 99. Nothing you said counters my point. Looking back they didn’t belong in the same breath as the other bands you listed except puddle of mudd.

Just because they were big for a couple years doesn’t mean they produced anything of value. Angsty music for middle class white boys is nothing special.

Limp Bizkit isn’t anywhere close to the others on the list, might as well listed Papa Roach.

As a cis male who never experienced dysphoria I can’t relate to your feelings. Exploring who you are is a great choice. You are 14 you don’t need to make any concrete decisions about who you are. You might not be what your agab was and you might not truly identify as a female but from my limited understanding it’s a spectrum so don’t decide who you are find it out. Best of luck, I hope you have great people to surround you at home, If you don’t find your people and leave the baggage behind.

It won’t be like the dot com bubble. The AI bubble is far more corporate investment with far fewer entities having money thrown at them.

Have you seen a psychiatrist or were you talking to a GP? I got diagnosed with ADHD 3 different times in a 15 year period without a problem. Only stuck with the meds the last time about 4 years ago, and it was a game changer.

I didn’t want kids til I met my wife when I was 38. I knew she was the one pretty early on and I knew that if I wanted to to keep dating her I’d have to reconsider my position. I had my first kid at 40 and my 2nd is on the way, and being a father is awesome.

I ended a 5 1/2 year relationship because I didn’t want kids with her. The partner you’re with definitely matters.

Not your shoe but has the wide toe box and I’ve had a couple pairs and love them. They have a lot of other styles as well but this is the kind I have. I actually ordered a new pair while looking for the link. https://a.co/d/g3lv7Ye

Iran sucks, Israel sucks too.

I don’t want Israel wiped off the map. I just want Netanyahu to crawl in a hole and off himself like his hero Hitler.
