So much for me to process here, but I’ll give it a try. First let me say I respect and acknowledge you as a human being FIRST. I don’t know which gender you were born into and to which you do desperately want to transition. What I’m confuse

I’m baffled as to why nihilism is equated with hopelessness or “asshole-ism” when I speak to others about it. I (almost jokingly) call myself a nihilist because I truly believe my life has no meaning. I am but one organism in a giant soup o

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to bring this up. Native Floridian, born and raised. My whole life I’ve lovingly referred to our mad little peninsula as “The Freakshow State” (from personal observation growing up in Miami-Dade). This

Heck,yeah! They’ll have to pry my RSS feed out of my cold, dead hands. Getting my “content” via RSS is like reading in a cozy, quiet library, whereas with social it’s like trying to read between a busy construction site and a highway on-ram

How would you describe your "own thing"? What does a day look like when you're living off the 80k interest? Be as specific as possible. I have a lot of experience in this area. (Obsessed about retirement from about age 22, an

What Mizza said: "Realize that you are an artist." What perfect, elegant statement. And so very true! I'm a professional artist and have been earning 50-100% of my living through my art for about 20 years. I sold a publishin

So I see you've learned everything you know about the South from TV/movies. When you get a chance, visit (in person) Jacksonville, Savannah, Asheville, Charleston, Austin, Birmingham, Atlanta...and on and on. It's amazing how

Dude, I'd actually pay a toll to have safe, isolated bike lanes wherever I wanted to go. If there's not enough demand/money for bike lanes I'm sure others would pony up too. The lack of human-navigable roads in my neck o

I don't know if this answers your question, but do read The Vegetarian Myth when you get a chance. It is one of the most profound and wonderful books I've ever read about the subject of sustainability/ethics for vegetarianism

+1 Debt: The First 5000 Years. Fantastic! Especially for economic theory/sociology nerds.

I completely agree. The Selfish Gene did more to change my view of the world than any other book I've ever read. Not in a religious sense, as many others cite, but rather it laid the foundation for a deeper understanding of people, cul

Everything? True, some prices have risen. But, if I may, here are some fun equations to ponder. 1996 (Florida) Minimum wage $4.25 Gallon of milk $2.73 Gallon of gas $1.26 Dozen eggs $1.31 2017 Minimum wage $8.10 Gallon of milk $3.31 Gallon
