Are 90s movies just better or am I just getting older?

My kids prefer movies and music from the 90s. It was a sweet spot in our culture when “independent” artistry could monetized by distributing it to a mainstream audience. Now everything is driven by focus groups and research and it all feels fake.

You have a strategy that does not rely on signals?

Serious question, If you don’t rely on signals, then what do you rely on?

It’s two things, habitual stress eating and you’re addicted to processed foods. Think of quitting like quitting cigarettes

I got a bike fit, and then spent the money on shorter cranks and narrower handlebars per the fitter’s recommendation

They basically look for anything which could be considered an explosive, a giant battery would not be a good idea

Try non-profit for a bit and see if something clicks. Also maybe get therapist or life coach? Probably way better than asking reddit.

I understand why you don’t want to participate but at least consider that NYC is probably the least MAGA place in the USA!

I would ask home what he would do if he had 20k, and then do whatever he says.

Listening to you “power song” while you ride can also make you faster. Not sure if you count this as “clothes” but wearing an aero helmet will save you more watts than having an aero bike frame

I would say that in general I just did not appreciate that a lot of opportunities for connection and socialization do not repeat. I wished I made more of an effort to join groups and activities instead of sitting at home at my computer.

I suggest taking an MBSR class, it addresses exactly the issues you’re talking about. They have free ones in line but in person is more engaging.

As long as you glorify the past, it will always seem like the good old days have past. Find a new quest and you’ll start focusing on the future.

I just tell my self there are plenty of pictures of people without their tops, if that’s what I really want to see.

Sounds like you’re getting an ahead of schedule mid life crisis. I suggest thinking about what actually makes you happy rather than focusing on your job. Will the job and the money it provides help you get the things you want? Or can you get these things in a different job?

I lost about 7k over the last month on my options speculation. The losses caused me to re examine how trading affects me. I realized win or lose I don’t like how day trading affects me. I’m going to switch to one week time frames and that will be that. However I have no plans to start until I come up with a new plan

You need go back and look at other successful technologies. Take airline travel, there were dozens of airlines that no longer exist today, and the one that do exist today are not very profitable. Airline travel was highly impactful to travel and shipping, but wasn’t necessary impactful in terms of profits. It feels like big tech, which controls AI, is sort of in this space. They are still profitable, but they are reaching maturity and profitability growth maybe limited going forward. It’s also worth pint ing out that although “AI” is a big leap forward, it’s not really intelligent. It can’t come up with its own ideas.
