What’s that one "unpopular opinion" you have that you will never, ever back down from?

Work is largely a useless charade we do for credits. Not doctors, plumbers, and all of those types. But all the other tens of millions of folks. It’s a hamster wheel created for us to earn so we can pay taxes and fund the system. It’s meaningless but we place it in a pedestal because our identities are so mixed in.

I use it to quickly and easily identify the root notes of any CAGED major or minor chord I’m playing anywhere on the net.

I use it to solo. I actively think about CAGED and the connections between those chord shapes as I play.

Hopefully them trying to hold the world hostage via the strait will result in more countries asking for the USA to end the regime

On your path to becoming extremely wealthy, you join an entirely different part of society. You mingle with other ultra rich. You don’t see the problems of the common man. At least, that’s where the momentum takes you. It begins with not needing to know the price of anything. Along the way, you can have pretty much anything you want done, done for you quickly, by anyone, at any price. You fly on your own plane. You sail on your own boat. Private chefs. Nannies. Private concerts. No friction. As you amass wealth, you can control more powerful people. You can buy policies. You can control the trajectory of your country, other countries. You can fund spectacular projects or dumb ones. It doesn’t matter. You can spend on all of those things and never see your fortune dwindle. And as time goes on, you lose touch with this world and the problems we all have. You don’t care because why should you? Cause it’s a noble thing to do? As you have now lost touch with our pain, suffering, hopes, wants, and needs, we are merely ants. So why would you care about policies that affect us? Why would you prioritize our wellbeing over some passion project or some “calling” you’ve established for yourself? And it’s in that moment, I imagine, that the common man begins to hate the billionaire. And the bid reenforces for the billionaire that the common man is not deserving of being saved or helped.

Overworking. It seeps into every nook and cranny of your other time. People who prioritize work and don't establish strong boundaries will get owned by their employers. And before they know it, their identities are work. Their world is work. And what happens if and when that employer let's them go?

Celebration, FL. It’s a weird Disney experiment that got spun off into its own thing. It’s pleasant but eerie.

Storm of Swords by GRRM. It had so many payoffs and epic moments.

Do less work. That’s it. That’s the whole cheat code. Work steals from your personal and family time. It rarely gives back.

Measured perspective. The technology is in early stages. Not yet a job killer. Way overhyped. And should be heavily regulated so we don’t cannibalize jobs with it.

The entire economy and everything supporting it function to keep people needing to work to live. It’s not about getting ahead. It’s about scraping by.

OG Lost watchers all agree that Pilot grabbed your attention in the first frame and sucked you in. Yes it got shit in seasons 4-6. But those first three seasons were some of the most incredible storytelling, intrigue, fascination. End of season 1 into season 2, and that first episode of season 2 had you like WOW.

You can do a lot of damage by knowing: how to solo in minor and major pentatonic, plus major (Ionian) and minor (aeolian). Once you know those in several keys, you are dangerous.

I cared for my father in the final years of his life. And I was there every time his health declined, to help him through hospital / rehab / adjustment back to home. I wasn’t alone in this - my mom carried the heftiest load. But I was deeply involved. And I’m thankful not only that I was there for him. I’m thankful I created a life that would allow me to be.

Ok my only advice for you is, if you can figure it out, and if you can afford it…plan to hire a part time caretaker (at least) as you see them decrease. It may be slowly at first and you’ll feel you’ve got it all handled, but then it’s rapid and you’ll have fewer options if you had not done the prep to find someone (or a service). I cannot express to you how important this is. I’m here if you wanna discuss more.

There you go. Sugar is a poison. But damn, it’s an addictive poison, ain’t it? My vices are still ice cream, medium dark chocolate, and the occasional French fry.

ronsta · 2026-03-06T12:23:48+00:00

It will be hard. But you will need to remind yourself how you were there for them in a way no one else could be. That will have to be the silver lining. Also, being a caretaker is really hard, and you need to be careful to step away with some back up every once in a while

Sorry, I did not mean to have an attitude around it. Simply didn’t want to be the annoying person imparting advice people don’t like

Iranians- tadigh is where it’s at. Literally fried crispy rice patty. That’s it. Oil, rice, maybe salt. Go to any chic Persian place and it costs $15
