I’m in a lonely big house with my pet cats and my fleshlight and a bunch of bookmarked pdf research papers to read. It never ends. I’m getting fatter. I’m getting older. If I could do it again, ...Read more

I have to admit that the aura testing was a really fascinating experience!

According to alternative medicine, this light reflects a person's mental and e...Read more
My parents are visiting from India for the first time. I have heard real scary stories of insurance claims failures. I would like to do good research of best travel insurances who have used it for any major surgery and their experience with it. Any recommendations are welcome!
After health, its the most imp thing. Relationships and other stuff are all secondary and very over rated. Especially kids and spouses. With money, the world is your oyster. Think money, make money, enjoy money. Fuck everything else.

I feel like I squandered my life. I'm in my mid-30s. Focused too much on my career but don't have a lot to show for it. Most peers are GMs and directors at FAANG. I am just an SDE. NW is short of 4M$ which is nothing compared to my peers. Wish I'd become an actor or athlete. Fuck tech
Life has a way of putting things into perspective. Despite being unemployed and facing a daunting job market, I chose to prioritize the little things that bring me joy.

Actively preparing for interviews and retention is poor. Stress is also high. Does Ashwagandha help? If not, what will help (other than the usual - good sleep, meditation and exercise)? Edit: please don’t suggest drugs (you know what kind I mean)
Prioritize money. Invest. Max out 401K. Buy real estate. Rent shit. In mid-30s with only 3.5 Million $ NW. Most of my friends or peers are above that. Without money, you're fucked in life.
