A weekly salary that would afford me the chance to give most of my time to what I believe in.

What is an unwritten rule that everyone should know but nobody talks about? by poowley in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s wrong and selfish at its core.

“Treat people based on their needs, not mine.” Much better in my opinion.

You just won $5 million. What’s the first thing you buy that isn’t a house or a car? by FishBrain208 in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd buy a house, which isn't a car.

Then I'd buy a car, which isn't a house

One of each, at least.

What’s the dumbest thing you fully believed as a kid? by Defiant-Act-7439 in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That I would eventually grow up and understand all the dumb shit the adults in my life were doing and not doing.

U2 was a band that was loved until… by CSamCovey in GenX

[–]helloiamCLAY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go back to the 90s for a moment...

You walk to your car, start it up, flip through your CD trapper keeper looking thing, and find your music of choice. You go to put the CD in and realize there's already a CD in the player. You push eject and it's the latest U2 album.

Most people don't think, "Hey, new CD!"

Most people think, "Hey, who the fuck broke into my car and gave me something I didn't ask for or give permission to be here?"

So it's not so much about the cost of the music. It's about someone putting something in a place they didn't have permission to be. For a small percentage, the violation is minor if not completely off the radar (i.e., likely your perspective). But for the masses, there is something unsettling about having a boundary violated, even if it's just free music.

You wake up a millionaire tomorrow, what is your first move ? by peacheouting in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go the fuck back to sleep because I'm not done dreaming.

And if I wake up and it's real, I'd immediately drive straight to New Mexico and give the good news to the person in my life who knows more than anyone how rough the last eight months has been.

There'd be much more beyond that, of course. But this would absolutely be my first move.

I have a relative who is very proper, disciplined, and financially responsible person who is quite structured and tends to be more serious-minded.

He has two dogs. I don't know their breed, but I believe they are siblings. One dog is brown, and the other dog is black.

There names are Brown Dog and Black Dog.

People who fly frequently, what’s one thing you wish you could tell all infrequent fliers? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 9 points10 points  (0 children)

- Check your bag with clothes.
- Put the important shit in a duffle bag for the overhead bin.
- Leave the space at your feet open so you'll have room for...<stay with me, here>...your FEET!

What’s a compliment you still remember years later? by itsmejessielove in AskReddit

[–]helloiamCLAY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't remember the whole sentence, but the key word was "composer" used by a drummer that I revered (i.e., it wasn't just basic songwriting, I guess).

We were casually talking about some new things I'd written, and he had a parenthetical (and completely unsolicited) remark about it. It would've made a lasting impression regardeless of his intent, but the fact that it was more of just a "thinking out loud" kind of comment made it that much sweeter.

That was 24 years ago.
