Find a job, or work with other people. People with more experience than you, you can learn from. Don't chase abstract things like 'success', 'money', 'fame', because those things don't focus you on anything. Make concrete plans and figure out what you need to know or do to execute your own plans. You clearly don't have a plan, and that's fine. It took me until I was 35 until i really figured out what i wanted to achieve and this plan that I drew out for myself took me ten years and I hope to finish by next year. I set very lofty but concrete goals for myself, and I had to work very hard to get this far. Anyway, moral of the story is that you have plenty of time to figure out what you want. Try stuff out.

Why the fuck would a bird flu originate from Africa? That's the dumbest thing I've heard. That's just mentioning Africa because it sounds exotic.

on how to earn money ? · c/asklemmy · 3 pts · 53d

Step one, come from a rich family. Step two, ask dad for money. Step three, lose said money on stupid decisions. Step four, stumble into a lucky situation. Step five, ask dad for more money. Step six, your luck isn't running out.

Why aren't you thinking about experience? Whatever you do, and however much you succeed or fail, the point is to enjoy yourself and learn from your mistakes. Life takes a long ass fucking time, you will suffer, you will succeed, there will be pain and happiness. You will feel like you wasted your life and you will feel like you're on top of the world. Just try to be true to yourself.

And ripping people off is only done through lying and deceiving. If you give your customers the space to say no, and a fair time to compare your prices to others, you can ask whatever you want. That has nothing to do with ripping people off. Market value is market value. Which is just as high as people are willing to pay. It's up to you to find a good balance between the amount of time you have and the market value. There is nothing wrong with undercharging or overcharging. It all depends on how much time you have.

You're not going to be a millionaire, you're not going to make it big, your life is going to be a boring struggle like everyone else's. There is no 'American dream', it's all fake, stop clinging to it. Do things you enjoy, you have ambition to get good at, find out what motivates you, stay humble, stay human.

More rubber on the road means more grip. As the weight and corner speeds increase, you need more of it.

In adverse conditions, wet, mud, you need profile on your tires to channel the water while keeping rubber on the road and maintaining grip. Wider tires make up for the rubber lost in grooves.

More grip also means more resistance. So there is always a balancing act between the grip you need and the resistance you can put up with.

When I'm doing calligraphy, the letters are made out of building blocks. And I deliberately look over my work to check if I missed something somewhere.

In handwriting I keep track of the t's, j's and i's and strike those when the word is finished. We also have ยจ above some letters sometimes which I also keep track of. I never forget, it's unreadable when I forget. That's how you know, when you read the word and it doesn't read right.

I also drilled my signature, I don't think about it, it's just a fluid motion.

Realistically there would be fox news blasting propaganda on how much the country is going into debt to fund the madness. "People are going to the doctor for everything now! Back in my days when we fell with our bike we put a plaster on it, we didn't burden the healthcare system with a few scrapes. Our mom gave a kiss on it and we'd be okay. A kid on our block Jimmy broke gis arm once and his mom did surgery on the kitchen table. But now? What do you think putting a plaster on by a doctor costs? 500 dollars. Yes, that's right. It's madness, Trump would have never stood for this, God bless his soul. We had it good under him. Now look. Wars, famine, heat waves, our economy is in shambles! And why? People don't live like they do no more, sad. Do you wish we could go back sometimes? I do. I sit on my front porch and I wonder... what would life be if our great leader would still be here with us. I think we need to all channel our inner Trump tonight. We need it. America needs it. You need it."

realistically that's what's going to happen on fox

Black budget hits 100 billion. I'm certain there are people high up in the government who get warm fuzzy feelings from that type of stuff.
