Paying monthly for a fucking car is the stupidest part of american culture. My 2 closest friends told me I was stupid for buying a $4000 used car years ago because I'd "have to make repairs" and it could "cost just as much as a new car" even though it was checked by a mechanic and was legally reconstructed because of multiple new parts. Except both are now 10-15k in debt and have had thousands of dollars worth of repairs. The only thing I have ever had to replace on my car was the battery, for about $200. Just think about that. They each are in debt for more than twice what I paid for my car STILL after a few years of payments and they have had to pay about half of what I paid in repairs even though the cars were new because they got "cheap" new cars rather than a reliable lasts-forever car with a good track record.

I can understand rent, because rent is obscenely high in places, but holy fuck. You do not NEED a brand new car. You spend mabe 1 hour tops in your car on weekdays unless you do delivery driving or regular road trips. The myth that it's better value in the long run is stupid. A beater with a legitimate mechanic check under 5k is all you need.

i'm addicted to it because, like 4chan, it provides me with a simulacrum of human interaction, and i'm lonely and bored. it's interesting moving around the different subcultures/worlds, just like different boards on 4chan there are different little bubbles each with their own lingo and memes and inside jokes. i like the weird esoteric right wing Evola bodybuilder twitter, and paranormal twitter, and edgy Cumtown-type joke twitter, and harm reduction twitter. so many different worlds. i'm really bad at the self promotion required to become a personality/influencer/content creator or whatever, but then again selling myself has never been one of my strong suits, and i'm okay with that.

i think you've got the right idea. i want to put at least 2/3 of my current stack into Flare and Flare Finance, probably more like 3/4...reinvest half of the rest into other cryptos and assets, and use the rest to do some cool shit.
