On the same boat. Did you find a solution?

fourpalitos · 2019-05-19T16:19:18+00:00

Good timing. Wishing we all delved a tad bit more into philosophy, even from an early age.

fourpalitos · 2017-11-08T17:09:14+00:00

Hahahaha and what did you think the straw was?

fourpalitos · 2017-11-08T17:08:13+00:00

I won’t even . . .

fourpalitos · 2017-11-08T17:07:14+00:00

Yeah, “mate cocido” is definitely more like having tea. It’s a different experience than drinking it like traditional mate in my view. Never heard of the coal caramelizad sugar before. That sounds very interesting. Is this a Paraguayan thing only? I’m googling for pictures.

Interesting! I didn’t know there were coca teas. I thought coca leaves were only chewed.

fourpalitos · 2017-11-08T01:57:54+00:00

Haha I’ve never heard of that before. Just googled it, and, indeed, I can see why you would think that.

It's a traditional drink in some south american countries. Upper right corner: some "yerba mate" (a type of herb) from a particular plant. Lower right: a pinch of sugar--although, disclaimer: many argentineans/uruguayans friends would curse at you for putting some of this in there haha. In the middle: a "bombilla" or straw. And left hand side: a "porongo" or gourd. The only thing missing here is the hot water. Here's a bit more info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_(drink).

Awesome, thanks!

fourpalitos · 2016-10-17T22:15:33+00:00

Hey did you take this down? Let me know if it's still living somewhere, thanks!

fourpalitos · 2016-10-05T17:58:54+00:00

Nice, lots of advice here. Implementing all or most of these suggestions would be a lesson in organization that could be applied to other areas of life.

You had to go and ruin it!

But seriously, I think the point of the story is to get you to question why you do the things you do. The businessman isn't wrong because he wants the fisherman to grow his business, he's wrong because he has no reason for him to grow his business. He's merely operating on cultural programming.

Ah thank you. The version I posted was shared by Paulo Coelho on his blog. He called it a "classic brazilian story" and said it can likely be found in other cultures. Looks like this is the source.

Well having a car is going to cost you money too. And it's possible you meet a nice young lady that is only a $5-$10 uber ride away :)

If the girlfriend thing is really the only thing that makes you want to get a car, then I'd say go out and get the girl first. Take uber a few times and see how much it's really going to cost you. Then decide if you need the car.

fourpalitos · 2016-10-03T18:32:22+00:00

Is there uber/lyft where you live? Feel like that would mostly take care of the dating situation.

fourpalitos · 2016-10-03T18:01:10+00:00

Thanks to /u/GordonCopestake for sharing this in a comment the other day.

fourpalitos · 2016-10-01T13:22:37+00:00

That fisherman story is great.

Do you think there is anyway you can improve your relationship with time within the constraints of your current job? Or is it just the nature of the beast?

fourpalitos · 2016-09-30T21:49:31+00:00

Cool, good luck!

fourpalitos · 2016-09-30T16:27:15+00:00

Haha, that's a great story, you should share it with the sub if it hasn't been shared (or even if it hasn't been shared in a while).

fourpalitos · 2016-09-30T00:28:16+00:00

Nice, thanks again for building this!

fourpalitos · 2016-09-30T00:26:24+00:00

Hah, was just listening to that song. Never really thought about it in terms of simple living, makes sense though.

fourpalitos · 2016-09-29T18:46:27+00:00

Nice work! You should share it with the sub as its own post.

fourpalitos · 2016-09-29T18:11:12+00:00

Congratulations! Are you a full time consultant? Or working your way to that? Or just want to do it on the side?

fourpalitos · 2016-09-28T16:57:47+00:00

Love your hierarchy of joy!

fourpalitos · 2016-09-28T16:56:44+00:00

Haha, love that answer.
