Mine:
- Learn a second language and keep up with the language your parents speak. You will regret being a brat about not wanting to speak this language especially as your family members pass.
- The only opinions about you that really matter are from the people you respect and who respect you back
- Being a kind humble person, who leads their political convictions with curiosity and not self righteousness is important. As that one person said: “I am no hero and neither are you.”
- Don’t throw out your old media (mix cds, tapes, records, photos, zinee, etc) because you think they’re embarrassing. They either will not be embarrassing later or they will become expensive and you can tell them for mad bucks.
My advice would be not to listen to advice people on the internet give you.
Which would include your advice you’re posting right now so then that means that they should listen to the advice people on the internet give you ?
Yeah, getting people to think for themselves is a paradox.
Exactly! 😂
This life has no meaning. Absolutely none. Do what you enjoy. You don’t need a “purpose,” grind culture is toxic and will only lead to burnout. Slow down and listen to the birds sing.
What’s your advice for younger folks? Nihilism!
Dont do any drugs harder then psychedelics. But especially dont do opiates and benzos. I would rate opiates, besides, and alcohol as the worst drugs to use.
Yes I am an alcoholic, but I avoided the other two. Honestly wish i had access to clean cocaine because id probably prefer that over drinking. Saving opiates for my elder years because im sure I will be hurting alot by then and will need them.
However, its your body. You choose. Heck the rules. Isn’t it obvious the rules never mattered? Some think it is a recent phenomenon, but we are only being publicly informed. it has always been true. Oh the slaves are free? Guess they are prisoners now (slaves).
Educate yourself, and question everything. No one is worth following blindly. If you don’t understand the “why” of something, keep digging until you do. Critically thinking is the most valuable skill you can have, so develop it as much as you can.
Never, ever stop asking why
1.) If you think you’d be happier living somewhere else, start putting things into motion now. Moving is hard, but it’s harder when you’re older.
2.) If you’re depressed, working out will not make your depression worse. It’s supposed to help. Give it a shot. Don’t forget.
3.) Don’t have kids.
4.) Don’t date people that you think are dumb, even if they’re incredibly attractive.
Absolutely second the don’t have kids. Best decision I made in life.
I absolutely agree that many people should not have kids, and nobody should feel pressured to do so, and everybody should think twice before they do if it really is what they want and they are ready for that.
But as “general advice”? Sorry, but this is ridiculous.
Saying this as a fucking exhausted parent of a baby. It is hard, but absolutely no regrets here.
Of course if you value your own free time and activities above everything else, then yes, definitely please do not have kids. There will be no time for anything but baby care and the bare minimum household maintenance for a long time.
When I was born, there were 4 billion people in the world.
There are now over 8 billion.
That means in just my lifetime, there are twice as many humans on Earth.
I 100% feel the planet is over populated, and that it is a major factor in issues we face today.
I absolutely think people should be encouraged not to have children.
There is plenty of space and resources to go around. The problem is the 1% dumping all waste in the ocean so they can buy more boats.
Also, if everyone would get at most 2 children, humanity will shrink on average. Don’t see why somebody should not have kids just because somebody else had “too many”.
Richer people in general have less kids. Fixing world hunger would go a long way. But somehow with an abundance of food the elites decided that starving Congo is better for that 0.01% extra profit.
From what I’ve read fixing world hunger would not be that expensive, in the grand scheme of things. Too bad that the poor just don’t have a lobby.
