    Anger Issues

    MINDSET 
    You have to "de-construct" and "de-energize" anger. Anger is a stimulus response to a person who caused you pain, then you project thoughts, justifications and actions towards that person. You need self-awareness and then you need to replace the anger with better values and more positive...

    Do you tip when picking up takeout food?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I guess if you were to try to find someone who is mad at life that would be it. Most people probably don’t tip well and taking taxes, gas and fees into account the person is probably making less than minimum wage. Not to mention American society does a good job promoting mental illness. Your...

    Do you tip when picking up takeout food?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I always tip 20% even nowadays on the terminal or on the tablet. In Mexico if you tip 20% the waiters remember you and treat you well when you come back. View: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-gKuQ6aT6lg&pp=ygUORmFtaWx5IGd1eSB0aXA%3D

    Before His Killing, Tech Executive Bob Lee Led an Underground Life of Sex and Drugs There's a lot of demons behind these activities (alcohol, drugs, negative emotions like anger and sex et. al.). I've been there before and have seen it first hand. I wasn't born yesterday. Don't do it and...

    "I would go quite a bit further, and say that the C0VlD-19 pandemic in particular has shown that the entire scientific establishment is corrupt and incompetent. In any case, it is not fit for [its alleged] purpose: protecting the future of humanity, which is now in considerable danger." -Sean...

    Curious for those into nutrition / bodybuilding

    I spend a ton of money on supplements mostly at Vitamin Shoppe. The industry has caught on to things like gluten free, dairy free, soy free, keto or vegan. There’s definitely a trade-off between making things healthy and making them taste good. For example; sucralose is horrible for your gut...

    Went ahead and bought $8k worth of QQQ Puts as I think tech is leading the way with horrible breadth. Although what did catch my attention is the increase in realized volatility. Of course just because something is overbought doesn’t mean it’s gonna go down soon but I do think we will see some...

    Young fastlaners: SHUT DOWN ALL SOCIAL MEDIA

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I guess just like everything, weed has a different effect on different people. Humans are not standardized. I never liked the effect weed had on me but I did like the THC vape pens for a while. Then stopped. The same way some people get turned on by food and lose control. It’s like drugs...

    You basically need a dopamine detox. Immediately stop everything and meditate, diet and go to the gym. Cut out all the alcohol, sugar and nicotine. There are supplements that can help with the withdrawals or cravings.

    The Sleep Thread: How to Sleep Better, Live Better

    CHAT HEALTH 
    Abstinence from alcohol works well too. I do notice a difference in falling asleep and not waking up at 3am. I also jump right out of bed in the morning with no fatigue or another hour of snoozing.

    Start a windows cleaning business…

    IDEA 
    I think we have all done yard work, wash windows or got our hands dirty. I think what happens is most people don’t have the self-confidence or the initiative to invest in some equípment, come up with a name, get a partner, learn the skill etc. You might struggle in the beggining as you build a...

    How you can avoid huge consequences from small actions

    MINDSET 
    That’s great that you have awoken. Not many people “wake up” to these psychological mechanisms. I think the key is when we realize we are actually damaging ourselves in the process.

    One thing I used to do as well was investigate different machines. Being an economics fanatic I know capital drives productivity. So I'm pretty fascinated by how machines create products or services. There are a lot of machines out there that are cost-effective that can be used to start a...

    And that's if you even find a job which most likely doesn't exist. It's because there is so much money and resources being allocated into academia that they don't want it to stop. So the government and colleges are never going to admit to the waste and inefficiency. The same way an alcoholic...

    Window cleaning was a gig I considered at one point. One of the things I loved doing was walking into Home Depot and just roaming the aisles and looking at the different tools and equipment. I always said to myself "If I can learn how to use this tool I can do this or that service for...

    I think a key thing to remember when being an investor or entrepreneur is that we don't directly experience the casual components beneath the surface. There's all these variant and invariant principles at play that we don't perceive directly. The same thing goes for humans when we experience a...

    Sell in May and go away? Interestingly if you look at the bond market it thinks the Fed will lower rates in the near months. Equities have not really priced in a recession and they think inflation has “peaked”. I actually think inflation has not “peaked” and that there are some surprise CPI’s...
