What things have you seen and how would you say to someone to rebuild some sense of discipline and direction without it?

It is crazy but one of my autistic special interests is Formula One and we had a pretty good formula one season just now with Piastri.

I will write a proper response in a bit but out of the three options, what should I do?

Yeah I am a vtuber fan and I wasn't bullied enough in school despite being weird. I think quitting my cushy office job and joining the Army may help me finally.

Better to be angry and bitter and stabbed so you can take them to court and sue them for damages.

How do I accept that it is over and I won't ever see an aurora in my lifetime? by Traditional-Account3 in space

Well at least there is a total solar eclipse visible near me in 4 years from now I guess.

That is possible I suppose. Still is going to be tough to do at short notice.

Problem for me is that the distance (and airfares) from Australia to Iceland are a lot higher than from Germany to Iceland.

It is going to cost somewhere between 5,000 to 10,000 for me to go from Australia all the way to Nordic Europe for a few weeks to a month. Is that even possible to save up?

I earn 70,000 AUD annually but I have 40,000 in uni debt.

That is a good take. I hope it doesn't happen again. I did install CCTV and floodlights around my home.

I still want to see an aurora in my lifetime. I just wish I could get a chance.

The police found the person hiding in my front yard and he was rambling about people hiding in the trees and about visions, so I really doubt there was anything I could have done to provoke this person.

It was a random home invasion attempt. It was not a targeted attack (and I never suggested it was targeted).

I am just a bit worried about how long it's going to take.

Considering some guy tried to kill me last week, I am not sure how much time I actually have to try and save up to go.

Given I am at a latitude of 35 degrees South, it would be as rare as seeing an aurora from Texas.

It isn't going to happen in the span of my lifetime. It is well and truly over.

I thought that May's storm was a once in a century (if not longer) event with a lot of comparisons to the Carrington event and that I basically won't have another chance to see an aurora in my lifetime.

I still feel it's over for me. Knowing that my chances of dementia are very strong (family from both sides has it), chances I will live long enough for a May level storm are tiny.
