I bought a PS4 pro and a flatscreen 4K TV to take advantage of it, so that added a lot. Also bought a PS Vita.

A lot of my $$$ was basically catching up on the library through various sales (I own most of the library for both systems now).

I excluded the mortgage payments and interest because they're largely balanced out by the rent I get back. the main effect of this is to lower my tax burden.

in my original life plan, I wanted to be married with a kid by age 22. this failed for various reasons, largely due to rapid social changes around me that have made such a plan impossible. just the massively elevated expectations arm-race of both men and women in our modern hypergamous winner-take-all-society have made human connections impossible.

now I am old and nihilistic, ready for all libs to pay for what they have done to society.

mfcr about tech.

tbqf, I was probably the first generation to suffer through this. I grew up in Palo Alto and basically almost all of my interactions with other children was intensely mentally ill.

now I poast.

Fasting helps clarify your thinking. You should consider doing a 30 or 60 day fast. I've done one before in the Sinai desert and it was rewarding. I'm starbucks, btw

I think I might die with a 60 day fast lol. like not from fasting (fasting is safe & good for you), but I don't have THAT much body fat to lose.

I do some part-time work for my mom's company. Semi-legal (very legal-like, but not something you need to be barred for).
