Imagine becomming a hacker under the disguise of penetration tester. That would some epic Palpatine moment for sure

I was thinking today of this topic of having children. I've come to a conclussion that, unless you made a kid by an accident - which is of course very common - as long as we are asumming any level of conscious, "premeditated" (lol) intent of having children before an act - I would say it is a society's job to convince us to want to have children. So far, it isn't doing a very good job at it. So.

In case I won't make any moves to advance in my goals during the day, I will at least write about it here to keep the focus and the idea alive. Just focusing and thinking about this topic of financial freedom and the ways I can achieve it - as well as the specific career paths and describing the various skills I can learn and actions I can take, are already contributing towards this goal. This is definitely true, but also - I want to be forgiving and good to myself, cause nobody else in this world will be (except for the ammount of people I can definitely count on the fingers of 2 hands). It's fine. I arrived tired from work and I went to sleep late last night. My bad, but also I won't push myself needlesly, since this is a marathon not a sprint. I definitely will need to sacrifice some foolish fun such as video games tho, and stuff like that. Life is about trade offs. I am choosing to better real life, because without my real life being dope I will never enjoy video games. And to have a dope life I pretty much have to get rid off this habit forever lol there really is no other choice. Like. I'll still be playing chess tho cause you can play chess when you're sitting in a train bored, so that's fine. I'm pretty shit at it (probably still better than you tho) but that's fine. Definitely need to start sleeping long enough ofc. Some days I have to wake up early so that sucks. I tend to like staying up late and pondering about shit, looking from the window, romanticizing about how life could look like. It is what it is. I'm just a human.

Bonus percentages added to my total chance of making this goal a reality, given that I: - focus on existing profitable niche with perspective reaching to far future - Maybe even think of niches that don't even exist yet but could start existing within my life time - Learn languages of high potential nations/countries (knowing english hasn't been an advantage for a long ass time now, since even a troglodite can learn that language on a level sufficient for proffessional communication. Knowing multiple major languages on the same level that I know english on however, is significant). - Investing is a given for me, but I'll mention it nevertheless - Somehow ending up doing something which I end up going to genuinely enjoy. That would give me a huge advantage and chance for success

Well, I kind of already laid out my proto plan in here, ofc I wasn't very intentional about it at all and let it just be - time to dust it off and start acting towards it again. Basically the most realistic path for me is to keep working 9-5 and working towards getting better and better 9-5s - while simultaneously working on solo projects, it can be via freelance model, but ideally I'd like to make something which would pour money towards me passivelly. And if I really focus on doing these 2 things simultaneously - I think in 10-20 years I should be able to acumulate enough money to retire. That's the basic idea. The reason why I estimate it'd take this long is due to my current lack of experience, having to develop those internal qualities such as focus and discipline etc., and I expect it to be very difficult. And I also wanna enjoy some life in the process. Nevertheless - it beats just slugging along, working for 40-50 fuckin years. I essentially aim to cut this time by half, or even by 3 quarters. By that time my appartment loan should be paid off too, so I'll be completely debt free and retired

My "shift" ending soon, I'll focus more on this topic

I'm gonna prioritize achieving financial freedom, it just makes the most sense to focus on that. After that I'll focus on other things

It's cool man, I'm not some prude, yall can post as much as yall like😅 Yeah I'm aware of him, haven't really watched any of his videos. Tbh I came to conclusion that I need to draw inspiration and confidence from within, somehow, instead of getting inspiration from the external world or people, or the internet. That's what I'm trying to do but it's difficult

Ability to have and mantain a smooth life is a necessary prerequisite for me to even consider having children. Which really just means having a fuckton of money. To the point you don't have to work anymore. No point in having children if you're a brokie or average earner in my opinion. Ofc most people having children are brokies or average earners and that's fine and I respect it. But it sucks. Limits your options severely. I'd rather wait till I got some bread or not have any children at all

I'm constantly confused and undecided about what I want from life, sometimes it's nothing. Sometimes I get bothered about something enough to start thinking about doing something and the steps I could take towards it, but then my mood changes and I couldn't give a fuck. Or the enviroment influences me. Or the difficulty of the goal, or my impatience. Or just the thought "What the fuck is the point of it all, at the end of the day" seems like I'm just cursed to forever be stuck in the purgatory stage and just be mediocre, or even slightly bellow mediocre

It's not about a religion, or any isolated factor like that. We as men are just inherently violent. That's something that simply cannot be unadressed

I would start rapping about my wealth in trap tracks. Do a colab with Future

I wonder if there's genuinely anything on this planet that I could legitimately enjoy. (Except the obvious stuff). Why does life have to be about discipline, and "you need to put in an effort bro" typa fa* shit. Why is life either so meh, or painfull. And then once in a while something positive will happen to you or a positive thought or mood come to you, and suddenly it fools you that yeah bro, this life shit is so totally worth it, you're winning bro, don't you see, I'm so glad that I've been doing this XY thing for all this time - only for it to be meh, or shit again.

Sounds like the most random war I've ever heard of from my perspective. You would think that 2 countries that are barely even mentioned (well, Thailand is mentioned in some very specific topics, lol) would have enough common sense to know that their geopolitical and economic situation should not warrant any conflict, it's like this border clash between Kosovo and Serbia except even less known about

Let's see what my options are for the rest of this day: 1. I can lay in my bed playing a video game 2. I can lay in my bed to play a video game, but move to my flat to do so 3. I can go out to a city, find a nice spot, preferably a wooden bench so that I can sit on it as comfortably as possible and play a video game 4. I can learn to speak fluent mandarin Hard choices. Very difficult indeed
