Same here, I bought Strawberries for 50% off at H-Mart, they didn't even last the night lol.
My first thought was to set up a bunch of long-term investments, since you can reasonably assume that you'll live a long life. But then also, being rich might increase the odds of you being kidnapped or killed, so it might just tank whatever you choose to invest in.
Maybe you could somehow get a job testing roller coasters. Once you're in there you have no power to decide anything, so perhaps the universe will make the builders construct the safest possible roller coaster. OR, you could be a food taster for someone rich and powerful. The universe wouldn't let you eat anything that's poisoned, or it would just ensure that no food gets poisoned in the first place!
Here in Canada, the general sentiment among people I've talked to is definitely that the US has fucked up it's relationship with us in a very long-term way, if not permanently. Even if the tariffs went away tomorrow, there's still the issue that Trump threatened Canada's sovereignty, which people here are not taking lightly at all.
I've heard people say that even if Trump went away, there's no guarantee some other dickhead won't take over and start the same nonsense, or we'll just be back here again in 4 years. Even the new Prime Minister said that the relationship we used to have with the US is over now.
I started reading up on him and apparently he said this:
I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful), or that he’s America’s Hitler.
That fact that he thinks Trump could be Hitler and is still prepared to get behind him for his own gain tells me all I need to know about the principles of the man.
I have two, one is actually complicated and one was so obtuse that I never would have figured it out in a million years:
Actually complicated: I still don't know how it happened, but somehow an update on Arch filled the boot partition with junk files, which then caused the kernel update to fail because of no disk space, which then kind of tanked the whole system. It took ages, but with a boot disk and chroot-ing back into the boot partition I eventually managed to untangle it all. I was determined to see it through and not reinstall.
Ridiculous: One day when using Ubuntu, the entire system went upside-down. As in, everything was working perfectly fine, but literally the screen was upside-down. After much Googling I had no luck figuring it out, then I accidentally found the solution - I'd plugged a PS4 controller into the USB on the laptop to charge it, and for some reason Ubuntu interpreted the gyroscope on the controller as "rotate the screen display" so when I moved it, the screen spun round. I only figured it out by accident when I plugged it back it and it spun back to normal lol.
If it counts, definitely the Steam Deck. With that and emulators, it's like having almost every game I've ever owned in one portable machine.
I used to make animations for YouTube, which weren't monetized because I hate ads, and one day they copyright struck me for some very provably public domain music, but the way they did it was to insert ads into my video without my consent so they could monetize them to send the money to the scammer who flagged me. So I just deleted my entire account, fuck them.
I mean you could even take the bottom number and leave them with the top number and they could still live in unimaginable luxury forever. Or just take the lot because fuck em lol.
Proposed solution:
Make sign that says "please keep this area tidy." Send to supervisor for approval.
Wait 5 minutes
Make sign that says "please keep this space tidy." Also send for approval.
Wait for supervisor to ask why 2 different signs were sent for approval.
Say you'll look into it
Do nothing for 2 hours
Put up a sign that says "Keep this area tidy. Thanks!" Maybe add some clipart for spice.
Tell supervisor "turns out there was a mixup with the drafts but I went ahead and took care of it."
If done properly that could probably kill half a day or more.
My favourite Paul Ryan moment was when he said Rage Against The Machine was one of his favourite bands, and then Tom Morello wrote a lengthy article in response about how much of a jackass he is.
Like imagine naming your favourite band and then they go super far out of their way to tell you specifically to go fuck yourself lol.
The UK likes to go the other way by talking up a ridiculous goal and then immediately failing it, like "Our goal is to produce zero CO2 and become the global leader in renewables by 2025” and then immediately open a new coal mine.
Yeah my VPN (Mullvad) is super affordable and I just leave it on all the time so I never have to worry.
Also maybe a seedbox could work for this sort of situation? I'm not overly familiar with them but I assume that would also just be running no matter where OP is.
