Might be a bit simple but why not the "North Star" (Polaris)? Navigation could work via analysis of stars positions relative to eachother/positions of constellations relative to the ship. You could justify it in-universe as being a nod to how early mariners used these same stars to navigate Earth's oceans.

I think if you seriously hold those views you should consider the fact that there are many reprehensible individuals which thought exactly like you do in the past. Though the groups they chose and the reasoning provided varied, all being equally irrational, they found reasons to neglect if not outright try to erase individuals which they perceived as somehow inferior to themselves because of their lifestyle choices. They falsely thought, like you do, that society would be better off if these individuals were not part of it and "punished" for their lifestyle choices.

This is a point where you need to actually realize for yourself what you're arguing for is reflective of a worldview which is objectively evil. You need only to look up the horrors of eugenics, of every ethnic genocide, of every society which chose to discriminate rather than uplift its members.

From the way you speak you seem to think that those who are strong or smart or talented have no duty to anyone but themselves. But you fail to realize that one day you may get sick, one day you may be old, one day you may be involved in an accident through no fault of your own, or by means of your lifestyle choices. At that time, you will need people to care for you, and you will realize exactly what I'm trying to tell you here.

For reference, the way you think is not new. I suggest you look through the chapter in Plato's republic where Socrates speaks with Thrasymachus about how "might does not equal right" to gain perspective on this. Thrasymachus held your worldview. It was one of the first positions that Socrates showed to be indefensible.

I suggest you look up just how often motorcycle injuries/deaths happen. What you're saying only applies if you never get into an accident or fall off the bike ever, in the entire period it is owned (which could be 20-30 years). Something which is incredibly unlikely. From the language you're using (i.e whale) I'm getting the impression that your position isn't rational and instead based on a dislike of overweight people. I've done what I can here but I don't think you're messaging back in good faith and don't want to entertain the perspective of someone who tries to put others beneath them based on their body and eating habits.

Go to your local food bank, that should help your food situation for now. Once you get some money get a giant bag of white rice and a cheap rice cooker. Eat the rice plus any protein and veggies you can get to make low cost meals as you financially recover. In terms of tech skills that can be developed Google offers several free certifications in Google analytics, Google ads, etc. Get a few of those and practice (should only take a few days) and try to get an entry level digital marketing, SEM, or PPC role. Once you get the role keep practicing and expanding your certifications to increase stability.

Looks like you saw right through the marketing. Seems like that product failed to materialize. It fairs to reason those claims were intangible.

The collective has decided not to assimilate you on account of perceived "bad smell" which is perhaps too distinct to add to our own and "weird-voyager-salamander-cringe-energy ".

You and your partner are clearly goat farmers producing high quality, organic, cruelty-free, goat cheese that has made you millions.
