I'd be happy with $40,000 to be honest. It doesen't go along way but that number is a decent enough number if the work isn't too soul crushing. I have some car stuff I need to take care of, I'd like a bicycle, some guitar pedals, maybe a Fender Stratocaster (Mexican) or like a PRS SE Silver Sky Rosewood (China). There are actually a lot of Neo-Strats I could potentially go with.


I would be happy with less than 40k except that I know how to spend money way better than other people, so I should actually get paid like $40k an hour because I know how to spend it better than other people that earn that kind of money.

I read another Byung-Chul Han (The Crisis of Narration) which instilled in me that I should no longer post here or "post" anywhere or engage in Twitter. He is right but I am likely addicted. There is no tree in my city to sing and tell stories under though so we are all kind of fucked.

MMA training no good anymore. I'm too old. I do a program called Westside for washed up meatheads. It may not get as good of gains as Greyskull but imo it's better suited for me. I'm not looking to hustle anyone anymore and I don't want anything to do with China so I will not learn Mandarin. It looks like it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. I need some sort of attitude adjustment just so I can get some income going. The situation feels to be getting dire.


China isn’t perfect but it’s not as bad as you think

I don't think my goal is to be my own boss anymore. That can actually be a shit ton of work. Poker I was my own boss and that is a little different than most entreprenurial endeavors I think? I could outsource most things and that was smart. Travelling is cool but I think I played my best poker in a quiet, isolated desktop / monitor setup. It sucks not having friends near by though.

I've been kind of beaten into submission that I need 40 hrs / week of something not too soul crushing. I don't even want to be a manager. Just let me clock in and clock out and be done with it.

I don't want to hustle. Whether that be moving fast or hustling friends at bowling. I want to move slow / andante.


You can make 40k a year being your own boss though n might be easier

China may slightly intrigue me but not enough to learn Mandarin. Anecdotal evidence I have no desire to travel there.

A lot of people want to be their own boss. I don't really see how I would be my own boss at this point.

My Korean is non-existant. Sure, I'd love to learn Korean but it's not like the Matrix where I can just download Korean in 10 sec. and be fluent. I'll probably never go to South Korea. I would love to read The Burnout Society in Byung-Chul Han's mother tongue but he wrote it in German. I spent 6 years studying German and now my German is terrible. I think once people hit 40 they are doomed in languages unless they really have a reason to thrive with a new language. I mean I was really good at German. I got an A+ in my last course in uni. Maybe if I moved to Berlin and studied German I could really pick it up like I did with Spanish in Buenos Aires but now my Spanish is shit too.

Been living in China the past ~4.5 years and pretty much agree. Societal/institutional issues aside, it's pretty comfortable here as a random expat. That said I'm not sure it's the place Rik will find his fulfillment.

Good to see you bigredhoss,

I am not sure if I find fullfullment anywhere. It's the kind of thing where if I can be fullfilled where I am currently at maybe I have a chance somewhere else. I can run but I have to bring myself kind of thing.

I don’t know about u guys but I’m pretty happy now but was a long struggle to get to where I am today. I believe u will make it to rikd just maybe another 5-10 years of struggling but enjoy the ride to get fulfillment in the end

I joked about going to Thailand and fucking all the sex workers there. I'm 40+ now with a bit of a pot belly from the West I could really fullfill a charicature that's for sure.

I attain fullfillment for periods of time until it's gone. I don't think it is the type of thing that I struggle for 5-10 years and then I reach a point of enlightenment.

I just ate some strawberry cake, drank some white tea (China!), and I'm posting on LP listening to some euphoric techno also also also I have an audio interface setup which the details don't matter besides the fact when I turn up the music I don't click on the screen I manually turn up the volume on the interface it's fucking sick! I am fullfilled in this moment but it will be gone before I know it.

lostaccount,

We could probably commiserate and greive over the loss of Loco. Anytime I eat cake and drink tea I think of Death Cafes and inherently think of Loco. I don't know what stage I'm in. Probably acceptance but the way greif works is that it can bounce back into any other stage at any time. I think Death Cafes are a great idea. I mostly just take solitary walks through graveyards / cemeteries.

I can be in the deepest meditation or the deepest forest and in the general sense of working it works but it doesn't always work how I want it to work.

Instead of posting I could be reading Byung-Chul Han. I am happy to be meeting a friend tomorrow for lunch but she probably doesn't want to talk about Byung-Chul Han. That's ok. Meeting a friend for a tea or lunch or dinner or a walk or whatever is probably on the highest level of tiers. That is an S-tier activity. Posting, liking, sharing has got to be on the lowest tier. Deadlifting some heavy ass weight is S-Tier. Getting lost in the algorithm on Twitter has got to be on the lowest tier. It is much easier to write this out than follow it perfectly. I'm currently engaging in an F-Tier activity... BYE NOW I may as well hit post at this point then delete and walk away..... dawwwwwwww
