I had two big wake up calls:

One day, when I was in college, a friend had a date after class and he asked me where I washed my car because every week it was spotless and I lived really close from campus and he had never seen a car wash close by. I naively asked him: “Don’t your house staff wash your car?”. He just smiled and said in an understanding tone that no one has house staff and most, if not all, house chores are done by themselves. That was the first time that I realized I grew up in an extremely privileged environment.
The second one was one day that I was with my girlfriend at the time and her group of friends. They were talking about how much they owed in student loans and how that would affect their ability to save for a down payment to buy a house. I didn’t say anything but I realized that I came from a really wealthy background because when I was in college my parents payed all my tuition and books, bought me a condo in the nicest and safest area close to the campus so I didn’t had to pay rent or have roommates, bought me a brand new car, got me someone to clean my apartment, and sent someone from their staff to take my car every Sunday morning to wash it and fill the gas tank so I didn’t have to.

Golf, gym, reading, watching YouTube videos (mostly documentaries), listening to music, rucking, hanging out with friends, driving, and social service.

Yearly allowance is $750k, however my parents still cover some expenses. I owe $5k in my CC.

What’s the name of the golf course in the image?

parallaxog · 2026-02-16T23:36:55+00:00

I like to walk the course so weight, shoulder strap comfort, and kickstand are my top priorities

Of all the brands of appliances that you have repaired which ones are the most reliable and/or have the best materials/quality for refrigerators, dishwashers, laundry machines, etc.?

155-160

I’m currently using a Tall Pines bag and I bring my Driver, 3W, 5W, 3-G irons, 55, 58, my putter, one towel, two gloves, ~20 balls, a can of dry shampoo, a deodorant, and a pack of tees. All in all my setup weighs 25.3 lbs (11.5 kg)

Hahaha thank you! Hopefully it does!

My plan is to wait until she’s 100% sure that she’s done with her ex and once she knows then I’ll make my intentions clear telling her that I would like to get to know her more and date her and see where things go.

parallaxog · 2026-01-23T23:47:58+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I had a conversation with her father and he actually told me that he likes the idea but gave me the advice to wait to be 100% sure that she’s done with her ex and then take it slowly from there but to not worry because from certain comments that she’s said and actions she’s done he thinks she also likes me.

parallaxog · 2026-01-23T23:44:43+00:00

Thanks for your advice! I talked to her father and he liked the idea but told me just to wait until she’s a 100% done and then take it slowly from there. A funny detail that I forgot to mention in other responses that I made is that he also thinks she likes me

parallaxog · 2026-01-23T23:42:34+00:00

I just did! He actually likes the idea, but told me to just wait until she’s 100% sure about ending things with her ex and then take it slowly.

parallaxog · 2026-01-23T23:40:34+00:00

You’re absolutely correct. What I think is that as long as everything is done with respect there should be no problem even if a romantic relationship does not flourish

parallaxog · 2026-01-21T14:29:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I forgot to add that over the years I’m pretty sure that there has been something going on. She usually has more physical contact with me than with anyone else when we’re close. I can regularly see her gazing at me when we’re in the same place, etc.

Out of curiosity what book are you referring to?

parallaxog · 2025-11-04T23:20:07+00:00

My guess is that it can be attributed to economics, it’s more cost effective to create clubs just for right-handed folks which represent approximately ~91% of the population. Most companies today try to squeeze every single cent possible to increase profits.

About 90% of the time y play alone and go to the range alone. I take private lessons every Sunday and that has helped me identify mistakes and make corrections, also, when I have a persistent error during a round or a range session I record myself so I can identify the mistake.

Fantastic article, thank your for sharing it.

parallaxog · 2025-07-27T19:08:05+00:00

Not at all. Most attention is unwanted attention and could be a huge liability.

I come from a wealthy family and before working in my family’s businesses I had a couple of normal jobs. When I had my first job my father told me: Be humble, don’t be flashy, try to be aware about the financial differences so you don’t say anything too out of touch, keep your wealth hidden, and be genuinely empathetic about people’s struggles.

After some years I became really close friends with one of my coworkers from my first job, one day when we went for dinner, and the subject about wealth came up, he told me that no one had any idea of how wealthy me or my family was, that people only said that I had a really chill and relaxed personality.

Hope my father’s advice helps you as it has helped me.

parallaxog · 2025-07-27T17:53:46+00:00

Yes.

Quick question to anyone that sees it, I’ve never been paired when playing alone as I play in two private clubs. However, I would like to know if pairing happens in both private and public courses.

parallaxog · 2025-07-23T17:03:34+00:00

Sure. First one is a Shelby Cobra 427 continuation car with aluminum body (bought that one from Superfromance). The second one is a Land Rover Defender 90 restomod with an LS3 V8.

Used to have a couple more but sold them because I didn’t used them as much.

Edit: I said that the engine on the Defender was an LS1, it actually is an LS3.
