But that is no longer a niche community for my specific interest. Tai Chi, Muay Thai and BJJ are all martial arts. They are not alike.

If these creatures can experience pain in the same conceptual way we do: they painfully clipped the ants legs and they didn't return them to normal. Those ants were in hell.

Else: it was painless and the ants still had stump legs for the rest of their existence.

Which is why the meme is "Haha funny tall ants are dumb" instead of the slightly less fun "Ants without legs are confused af"

This hellhole (affectionate)of a site is made better by the belief that you are the actual Margot Robbie and spend your off time trolling. God speed!

Not just companies. Governments. I know of entire governmental departments that run exclusively off of a M$ environment. People who deal with capital C Confidential information are backing it up into OneDrive. It's lunacy.

That one question "If you woke up tomorrow with 100 million dollars, what would you do to improve your life right now?" Is very powerful. My first response was "Pay off all my debt".

The second most powerful question is: "What else?"

What else would you do after your debts are paid?
What else would make you happy once you don't HAVE to work?
What else would you do now you are debt free and have the time you need to enjoy life?
What else fulfills you?

By the time I hit the 3rd/4th "What else?" I realised what I was actually needing. In my specific case it was a creative outlet that I had been neglecting for years. I would remind myself daily about that one goal and, thought it took me 3 weeks, I eventually managed to pull out my guitar and start playing again.

2 years later and I'm sucking at guitar daily and going for runs. I have remade connections with people I thought were lost and genuinely started enjoying the little bits of life I have made. Debt is still there and work is relentless, but my 30min with my guitar has become a grounding point where I can remind myself "Things will get better, incrementally. What else can I do to make the little things better?"

Apologies about the wall of text. Depression is the worst version of ourselves and I hope OP can get through it.

There's a lot of money in nostalgia these days. I agree. He's made the intelligent decision and we should be seeking to uphold the nostalgia momentum he's generated.
