It's an older meme, so it's possible OP just googled a quick template and didn't realize it wasn't the original.

Oh man, you guys are thinking way too big. Become the CEO of 3 small companies! Abscond with your 3 100k paychecks while working 10 hours a month. You'll never make the news. Enjoy the easy life.

I really like this analogy!

One of your goals needs to be taking care of your body. Earlier nights to get better sleep, time set aside to cook healthy food, hobbies that reenergize you. Schedule days off specifically to do nothing.

I'm a goal driven person. Once I hit my 20s I realized I was doing goal after goal after goal and not taking a break. I got worn down and sluggish. I nicknamed my goals "the eternal to do list" because no matter how hard I fight to get it all done, I'm always going to add more. So I schedule time for myself alongside my other tasks. Not only did I feel better, but having the contrast between work and relax days helps me better identify when I start getting burned out.

3rd rock from the sun has some fantastic humor - one of the best shows of the 90s

Personally, I'm a big fan of emojis in usernames 😊

Absolutely. I was a big part of the non professional music production side of YouTube a decade ago. Imagine getting 100+ new songs every week, from talented artists putting everything they had into their work. It was incredible! This year I got into data hoarding and looked into downloading my old favorite songs... Turns out most of them deleted their old work from YouTube when they went pro or simply closed out their channel for personal reasons. Not even the compilation channels were still around. Hundreds of thousands of songs are just gone, along with the records of that community's culture.

So I have two thoughts about this:

  1. A lot of times, if you find something that's insanely ugly for a crazy price it's a scam. Since the shirt photo says "as seen on tv" in the bottom left I'd bet it's money laundering. Someone wanted to give their friend money and did it by funneling money from the studio budget into a ridiculously expensive wardrobe.
  2. If this shirt was originally designed as "high fashion", then I'm not surprised it's ugly. There's this whole subsection of the fashion industry that follows the "we focused so much on whether or not we could, we didn't consider if we should" philosophy. High fashion focuses more on technique and combining interesting shapes - a lot of times it's not even wearable.

Slightly unrelated, but I was just talking with a friend about how we're going to have similar issues with young artists trying to copy ai. As is, many young artists will turn to cartoons instead of real life when starting out. Their work is a bastardization of a bastardization, with serious flaws in anatomy, gravity, light, and depth. They go on to call those mistakes their "style" and point to other artists making those same mistakes to normalize them. Since "style" isn't something they think they need to improve on, they may become good artists overall while having severe, glaring holes in their skillet that any professional can see. You can sometimes even tell when someone started out because "90s anime" or "10s cartoon network" made specific stylistic choices that changed over time.

So I think ai is going to cause similar problems. Newbies will copy what looks pretty to the untrained eye and learn an ai based style. Then when they become more popular they'll be fed into ai as reference material and perpetuate the problem. Even worse is actual professionals may turn to ai instead of real life references or a desk mannequin. Then their skills may degrade because they rely too much on improper tools. (I've already seen this becoming an issue with photoshopped reference photos.)

Anyways, that's my $0.02

I mean, Tesla was dealing with a lot of accounting and labor concerns before Twitter. Not to mention stock manipulation and other illegal stuff.
