Buzzkill was one of the best apps I've ever bought. Combo with Tasker and you can get things like automatic pinned "where did I park" GPS notices when you leave the car, mute a group chat if say 3 messages come through within 5 minutes, etc.

I'm convinced 10% of everyone propel society forward for the other 90% at this point.

It's been going on too many places for too long to be more than a few things...

It's ours and we're doing some sort of panic test or show of force

It's ours and we're looking for something dangerous and don't want anyone to know

Its an enemy state and we're either observing/gathering counter intel and don't want to alert that state to our capabilities

It's an enemy state and we don't want to have drones packed with ??? falling over homes

It's aliens ayyy

There's zero chance a military branch hasn't had this on satellite 8k by now but nearly every situation means they will never disclose information to citizens.

The trump technique, commit more crimes than you are able to prosecute in a bureaucratic order/timeline and get away with 90% of them while it takes years unraveling the 10%. By the time it's over, you've done it again and it doesn't matter anymore.

If you don't live off of interest from many millions invested, then you are working class. With enough money, it automates itself forever as long as your interest taken out to pay for your lifestyle is less than the rate at which it increases from its investments. If you make 7% gains but take 5% to live off of, the other 2% gets reinvested and added to the compound interest. 5m+ is 250k per year in interest at 5%.

My MIL laughed because I've been buying n95 masks again and tuna/rice/beans for my crawlspace. I'm hoping I just have extra food and paper goods I won't need but my gut tells me RFK is about to willingly introduce bird flu into our raw milk diets or whatever and trump is going to make everything else go through the roof.

If Republicans demonize democrats and project their own crimes for half a century without facts then it's honestly time to stop crying wolf and do some things that they're getting accused of. Why does a red name get a pass? If it isn't both sides but everyone thinks it is anyway then there is no reason to not do bad stuff. Trump has proven that you will get rewarded for being the worst human possible and more. He is apparently the ideal American so to not lie cheat and steal is un-American. If Biden helps his son once in the face of 30+ terrible felonies president trump did himself, not including his cronies, then so be it. I really hope Biden breaks everyone's brain about pardons because it will bring every other scummy pardon into question too from other presidents.

If there's anything all these lying rich guys have in common, it's that they say and agree with the last thing someone they want something from said. They just echo ideas that get traction and ride the wave.

I just want to reiterate that each response you've given is dismissive and also you're putting yourself down. Each comment. So it's okay to focus on your self esteem first by breaking the cyclical issue of (I don't have hobbies, therefore I am lame. I am lame because I have no hobbies) and you have to get uncomfortable and force yourself to do something new or stop doing something you think is problematic. The hard part isn't doing that though, the hard part is doing that again and again. The first week you'll be reminding yourself a lot but over the first month or two you will simply be someone who does x thing.

Clean your room. Make your bed. Every day. Seriously it's a easy way to physically and visually start seeing a daily change that makes a difference. Maybe it's lame or pointless but it's definitely progress when you're stuck in a rut.

Calling bull on your pity party. I met my wife because she messaged me online about smash bros. If you do anything besides eating pooping and sleeping then you will have an interest. If not then you should do anything besides eating pooping and sleeping and seeing if you had a good time. Here's a start... You know what you DON'T like right? So do opposites. If you hate watching TV then read a book. If you hate computers then pick up woodworking. I'm not your dad and can't tell you what to do, but I guarantee you know what you don't want to do. Start there.

Woe is me, you're not not attractive because of your financial status, you're not attractive because when you put others on a pedestal they have no choice but to look down on you.

If you can't be comfortable or happy by yourself than you can't go out of your way for others. Like how on an airplane you put your oxygen mask on before helping others put their mask on.

I had a bad bout of depression and opted to remove myself from social situations instead during my 20s. Once you realize that if other people have a problem with your problems more than you have with your own problems, that's their issue...it is an epiphany. Even absolutely successful people have endless haters, just put on horse blinders and tell yourself "fuck it" and just do what makes you happy.

You'll bump into people who want to hang out as you keep doing activities for yourself. If you like hiking or drawing, hike and draw. If you like running go run. I guarantee the people also doing those things have something to talk about to open the Pandoras box of conversation.

Don't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. Good luck, it's a process. Gotta learn how to respect yourself the same or more than you want to have others like you.

Knowledge is evidence based and has certainty based off of repeatable observable data. Belief is educated hope, based on the unknown when compared to the known.
