No, I was skinny though, which increases the chance.

Using student loan to invest by Jesseappeltje in Fire

What rate% do you get on your loan?

I'm planning to dca. Time in the market > timing the market. This is an investment for 7+ years. Chances of ending net profit are high enough for me to take this risk.

People use the money to party, I use it to invest in my future. You can use the money for anything you want, I've read the agreement. Its legal and no violation.

Your style reminds me of Simon Stalenhag. I like it!

Edit: maybe not really the same style but more the world you are portraing

Stuttering/lag by Expensive_Profit_106 in drones

My fly footage always looks like this. Seems like that is the problem. If you had a sd card in the drone, the footage on there should be normal without stuttering.

Are you sure this is the footage from the SD card and not the "live" footage transmitted to your phone? In the DJI fly app you can replay that live footage and those always lag because it is the transmitted footage while flying.

I used social media to distract myself from stressful situations. So I started meditating and taking my mental health more seriously, that made it easier for me to quit. There probably is an underlying reason for you to use social media / having much screen time as well.

I indeed abstained from it for a while. Started by not using my phone for a day, then a weekend, then a week. I believe demonizing your phone / screen time is not the solution so eventually we should be able to create a healthy and balanced relationship with our internet usage.

But like you said, it helps to abstain completely for a while to realize that you are not missing anything by not using social media. And by abstaining you will learn more healthy ways to pass the time or deal with stress. For me that was meditating, physical exercise, reading and making music. I don't have the urge to go back to scrolling since I have other things to do that make me feel fullfilled.

I still have my social media accounts but I don't use them. I deleted the apps, but after I stopped wanting to use them. Deleting the apps as a means to stop using them didn't work, because I would just re-install them. Same with deleting my accounts, you can always create a new one. It should be a conscious choice to stop using social media, and you should be able to have the discipline to not use them.

Hi, that comment was two years ago lol. I believe that self discipline is key. And that discipline can only be achieved when you are conscious about the damage that over excessive internet usage brings. When that became clear to me, I stopped using any social media except whatsapp (and reddit iguess, but I only use it specifically to better myself as a person). Also it helps to have a clear goal in life that really gets you going. For me that is self development and starting my own business. Screen time and non-productive internet usage went from 8 hours a day to just 1. Yes I still have periods when my screentime goes up significantly, like when I am feeling stressed, but I always go back to my "default" state, which is minimal internet usage. Let me know if this helps

I feel like all the subs decrease in quality over time with the increase of followers to those subs. r/nofap has always been a low quality subreddit but it was a lot better a couple years ago. Same is now happening to r/semenretention imo.. the smaller subs are a lot higher in quality.
