The pattern repeats itself again.
Wednesday: blackpill rage
Day or two later: ooh a white pill me happy again
Saturday: blackpill rage
Today: ooh some hopium me excited again
Lol.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey History may turn on a ham sandwich, but shifts in power take time to be felt. Accurate prepositioning is ideal, but I still maintain the following position:
We shall see.
@ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD @Tfmonkey
Without saying "TFM needs to move", (because I have no wish to antagonize a decent man)...I think that pattern is just a result of the tension that comes from living on the edge of collapse, and knowing he'll be in the thick of it, when it comes.
I grew up quite poor too, as an Army brat in a large family, so I can relate to "I never wanna be poor again." Thankfully, I have a really good family (excluding step-dad & bio-dad). So I have a good support network.
@ButtWorldsMan @DoubleD @Tfmonkey
But I'm not commenting to brag on that. My point is, there is real value to consider in GTFOing out of Cali.
So whatever calculus keeps TFM there, should really account for the peace of mind that comes from different surroundings.
I'm working on getting small acreage in rural country. And that point, there will be no more unnecessary anxiety. I will pay through the nose. Housing market isn't convenient right now.
Still worth it. 🍻
@YoMomz @DoubleD @Tfmonkey The problem is that he will have even worse peace of mind just abandoning the location on a whim, because we're not in the post apocalypse yet and TFM still needs to earn money to sustain himself.
If he leaves cali, his non-internet business is compromised. Then he has to somehow secure a reliable internet connection and rely on superchats and online platforms. Having such a dependence on internet platforms, for someone so banned, is not good for peace of mind.
@ButtWorldsMan - Of course, there will be a mortgage to pay... (until there isn't, I guess).
Driving truck locally (so I can take a long walk home if big bombs ever drop) is a lot more lucrative than retail work.
And I'm starting a furniture business (in progress for 5yrs now), to increase earning potential. When internet shuts down so does my business. But that's probably also when money becomes irrelevant for everyone, so 💁🏻♂️.
But yeah, some day I'll be pagan Amish - one way or another. 😅😂🍻
@YoMomz >military service
Thank you for your service. May your time there have filled you with loads and loads of experience and internal warmth.

@ButtWorldsMan - No doubt, it's a pickle.
We're all on the same edge, at the end of the day. After military service, I never went into high finance. I worked at a retail store and got married (mistakes were made). Naturally, I have a different view of money.
I've been working torward letting go of it. Nowadays, I count my meagre wealth in bullets and food - which seems to be rising in value these days.
My personal goal, is to make money as irrelevant as possible, in my personal life.
