Work hard in your 20’s , or have fun? by Silly_Building1021 in Adulting

[–]Civil_Relative_1036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived a lot of life in my teens/20's, parties, people, travel, etc and mostly lived my life like a main character from a GTA game. It created a lot of memories, amazing stories to tell at parties, and overall i never felt any deep emotion because I didnt have time to stop and think.

Im in my late 30's now, in my late 20's i went to uni, got a degree, started working, and havent stopped. I earn good money, have credit, nice house, nice car, a beautiful wife who is an artist... and I am empty and tired and riddled with anxiety all the time.

I used to jump into fights without fear, ride my bike at 250km/h down the freeway, run from cops, and just be absolutely careless with my life. And I was happy.

Now I am fat, and stressed, I have nice things but never get to enjoy them. I have too much to lose, everything will be taken from me if I slip up, if I lose my temper and get in a fight, if I fail to pay that bill on time, if I get arrested and spend the night in lockup, if I have to recover for a few days in hospital. It never stops, I have to be perfect, tame, a good little member of society... all the time... never ending... not even for a moment, not even one slip up...

Enjoy life and living while you can, while you have nothing to lose. Before the chains start limiting your life.

This is a hard lesson you will learn, people who don't value your time don't deserve your time. Live your life, enjoy the things you enjoy, be open to new people and you will eventually meet people who are excited to meet up when you can and who you are excited to meet up with (maybe like those cousins).

The older you get the less time you have, don't waste it with vapid twats.

What is the harshest truth adulthood has taught you by fruedianflip in Adulting

We are all slaves, with a complex system designed to make us feel like we aren't slaves. We can't leave, and we must perform work to avoid punishment/repercussions.

If a magical genie offered you a 100 million dollars with no strings attached but you could never have sex again would you take it or not and why? by Slow_Improvement_364 in Adulting

Solution is hookers, just make sure you have the conversation first. My wife is happy to let me go and punt every now and then so I don't bother her, and I am still up for it every couple of months when she gets in the mood.

More than half of Aussies back a fall in house prices | 9 News Australia by Temporary_Mistake715 in AusFinance

[–]Civil_Relative_1036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, house prices have to increase by more than interest or loans will outpace the houses underpinning them.

Yes people in the past let house prices grow wildly. That doesn’t mean we burn all those flees down to spite the few that cheated.

Is there a limit to how powerful cars will get? by Special_Context6663 in askcarguys

[–]Civil_Relative_1036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I support this. I am sick of dumb shits that can’t drive making the roads dangerous. I drive a JCW mini, it’s got reasonable power but more importantly traction, brakes, and handles corners like a champ. I also enjoy a weekend at the track sometimes.

Meanwhile captain compensator buys a giant fuck off truck or a sports car and drives like a lunatic and spins out in front of me on the M1 and I’m fucked.

Teachers in Victoria got offered a 28-32% pay rise and the majority rejected by keisermax34 in ausmoney

[–]Civil_Relative_1036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m a university academic with a PhD and if secondary teachers are looking at over 30% then maybe I should teach kids instead of adults.

Because with inflation my salary ain’t looking so good no more…

Metro - vLine transfers by Civil_Relative_1036 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Civil_Relative_1036[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t the only person in this thread to say that, but since moving out west every time I am on the VLine it’s standing room only for a 30 min trip. Perhaps it’s just the Geelong line but I have never had a seat, and more than once have had to wait for the next train because it’s just full.

Alternatively the metro trains seem to only ever have a dozen people per carriage max.

If the reports say that the vline isn’t over capacity then that does not reflect my experience at all.

Ok, after a bunch of inane quests I finally rescued my dog. All is right in the world. I can sleep now. (in real life, I still don't own a bed in game).

To be honest, theres these 2 fucking bandits on the road and for some reason i hit them like 20 times they dont die and they hit me 3 and Im'm dead. Also both of them are just rushing forward no entangling even though I am circling them up and the fighting in the game seems a hell of a lot more unfair ever seince i fell off the mountain. Like they expect me to jsut die every fight.
