    Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon that I use is quite stable. I had some issues with sound, but I asked ChatGPT and had them fixed within 15 minutes. No other major issues. It is fast, and games run smoothly. I also “saved” older overheating laptops with it, fixed their overheating problem so they can be...

    To be honest, on my personal PC I deleted the bloatware and moved to Linux Mint. With a bit of setup and the help of ChatGPT, it works very well. By the way, I am not very good with tech. I’m never going back to Windows. Linux systems are much faster and more customizable, and they can still...

    Is Passive Income Less Attainable Than Before?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    Be aware: Some work and some sacrifice = Some results. You can half-a$$ things and get halfway. That’s better than nothing, and there’s no shame in it. However, the probabilities of asymmetric returns are reduced in that case. The more constraints you impose (e.g., not showing your face on...

    Is Passive Income Less Attainable Than Before?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    That is key. THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT. The only thing you can do is create systems and strategies where working toward the things you care about, also when it sucks balls, becomes part of your daily routine automatically. Think of what is discussed in Atomic Habits by James Clear and in habit...

    Document and Bookkeeping Database

    IDEA 
    I think it’s a very good idea: an ERP system built in the era of AI. That being said, AI still hallucinates, and in finance and accounting, that’s a huge red flag. Just my two cents. I might be wrong, though, because small businesses could be much less sensitive to inaccurate data. To be...

    There is no non-inherited passive income; just frontloading work. @MTF , there, fixed that for you.

    Then we are 100% aligned. I would follow up with: young people definitely need to get out more, do more drugs, and have a lot more sex than they are currently having; responsibly, of course and without breaking the law.

    I think you must be in the wrong circles. I see a lot of extremely smart young people. Of course, there are also some who are not as smart. I don’t see significant differences compared to my generation. That’s why I’ll say it again: people in this forum really, really need to go out and meet...

    Totally agree. I think many people, especially here, should just turn off the TV and social media, go out, and meet people in person to understand how they see the world. Or, God forbid, even travel to another country. This is how you broaden your horizons, gain a better understanding of the...

    Should I buy the car? (I did, then sold it)

    HOT! IDEA 
    Good job! People often underestimate how important it is to own things at 18 compared to 50+. A fancy car at 18, bought with money you earned from running a successful business, can be a huge fuel for future success because it reinforces your work-to-reward loop. Once again, congratulations on...

    Totally agree. Paradoxically (or not) this worked. So I got what I needed in the end and I have enough people to talk to. Just need to do the calls now.

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    I did Krav Maga for three years and earned three belts. It was cool because the gym also incorporated conditioning training. I liked it since it combined best practices from many martial arts and included somewhat realistic scenarios. It was quite interesting, but I think for someone at your...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    This becomes a problem when self-improvement becomes the end-all, be-all goal of your life, and when you inherently believe that you are valuable only if you reach [insert target here]. Think of it this way: you are valuable, alive, and healthy now, and everything else is a bonus. The more you...

    No, you don’t sound like an a**hole. If my approach was working, I wouldn’t be asking for advice. That said, I wouldn’t call my messages lazy. I always do real research, personalize them, and make sure they’re thoughtful. When I say 10 minutes, I mean 10 minutes, not a bait-and-switch. Thanks...

    Just a pleasant conversation. Not much I can give them. And if I offer something, it will sound like a sales pitch (I think). But I am willing to change my approach. Also I do not tell people that I need it because I might do something (dah) I just say that I would like to know their story.
