  • XMas just makes me feel exhausted and wishing it’d be over. I’ve steadily grown less and less festive over the years. I just can’t get that worked up, every year, over any holiday. And XMas is the worst of it because it’s everywhere all around you. You can’t go anywhere or listen to anything or talk to anyone without it ever being brought up.

    I’m tired of the pressure to buy this or buy that. I’m tired of this month long pause with people because of how hyperfocused they are to celebrate a holiday that’s been so tainted by capitalism that any spirit left over has been drained.



  • To be quite honest, I’ve not made a single bit of effort in making a will, nor have I decided on life insurance nor have I made any arrangements to heirs or anything else. My family is beyond trusting, to me, so that is entirely out the window regarding them. And another thing is that my ‘retirement’ plan is a plan of permanence at my own discretion, so the thought of making a will or having life insurance is on the bottom of a priority list.

    My main concerns when I decide my time is up, is where I’m going to be and how much I want to leave behind and for whom. That’s pretty much it.














  • UBI is a great system, but I would want it heavily regulated. Because you just know and it’s the truth, that a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it. This is a system that should be for those who’re actually struggling.

    And I say this because I’ve heard stories and seen it first hand, of people lying on documents and forms to get benefits that they don’t deserve. You cannot introduce and incorporate UBI with the mindset that nothing can go wrong - because it could, if it’s unchecked.

    I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.
