  • Any skills you can market? Things you can craft? As many others have said—there is no quick way to earn money.

    Gambling is an option, though you could lose it all. Not worth it in my opinion.

    If you want money and want lots of it—find and solve problems. Look at the world, identify problems, and find marketable solutions.

    Either way you’ll have to grind.


  • For me, it has been incredibly difficult to find a properly privacy oriented Linux distro that also has ease of use.

    First of all, most distros already offer adequate privacy. It’ll always beat Windows or MacOS—that’s for sure.

    Second, ease of use and privacy don’t go hand in hand. The more privacy you want the harder it gets to use. The reason I emphasised privacy is because it’s more anonymity at that point.

    What is it you want? If it’s privacy you’re after you can’t go wrong with most distros and using FOSS. If it’s anonimity be prepared to make a ton of sacrifices. Have fun putting your laptop in a Faraday bag, routing all your traffic through Tor, visiting eepsites, disconnecting your webcam and microphone, only wiring money with Monero, and so forth.

    My point is, there is no best of both worlds.

    Can’t really relate, because I am only 24yo. Rant incoming;

    Though I am sort of reluctant to try dating. In the past, I tried dating apps but they yielded no results. The women I matched with all ghosted me. Really did a number on my self-esteem. Who knows? Maybe I’ve got the face for radio?

    And in all honesty, it feels like I’ve got to abide by ridiculous standards. The likes of being buff and tall, owning a car and house, a 6-figure salary, etc. I am still studying and trying to get my bachelor degree. All of these requirements put a ton of pressure on me. Is every woman looking for that? Of course not—that’s not what I am implying. But from my personal experience it’s certainly starting to feel that way.

    Not surprised why redpill content is booming. They’re not right, but there is truth to be found in some of their statements. In the end, I do introspection to identify my flaws and improve on myself. Nevertheless, even by doing all of that it feels like it’s never enough.
