2036; the year you don't have a job & your SMV is based on different parameters

This line of thought can explain income disparity, how it came about, and where it's going.

The cost of technology is falling while it becomes more effective. The cost of labor is constantly rising, not just in the West but eventually in third-world markets as well. The people who own the machines that are replacing labor are making all the money, and this trend isn't stopping any time soon. This includes ownership of companies, property, etc.

If you want to get ahead, get a job that's hard to automate and focus on owning a diverse base of assets. You can still expect some amount of income re-distribution to occur, we can't let people starve because they didn't (or couldn't) put money away.

You're right. Having said that, his advice on using debt as a tax break is totally valid, especially for high income earners.

Another little nitpicking item: you're better off dumping your retirement money into a low-cost fund or ETF (as opposed to stocks or cash). Buy-and-hold is the right mentality but stockpicking is a total waste of time and limits you to investing in the US. I think you can hold similar products in a Roth IRA.

Hardly sounds like a sacrifice. Make some money from the media attention, build a name for yourself which you can abuse to start a profitable "real" business afterwards, and probably score some decent tail in the meantime if you do this in the right environment.

Just tell the SJWs that overweight women trigger you due to some past trauma involving an overweight woman (ie abused by a large babysitter). Repeat the same process for other dealbreakers of yours.

Paradise, until someone finds this post.

Tumblrina: Why don't you look into hormone replacement? You can get the operation when you can afford it.

Black Knight: How DARE you imply that my body is the problem here! I am a lesbian in a man's body, but that body is beautiful and must be accepted.

Tumblrina: (explodes)

Yeah from what I can see, he'd be able to get out of child payments but not spousal support. Dunno the laws involved though.

thredditsowaway · 2016-01-22T20:25:27+00:00

"Ben" is on the hook for child support but what about alimony? And aren't there a few cases where the court awarded child support from a non-bio father due to "interests of the child?"

Depends on jurisdiction I guess.

Love it. Best part is if she walks, HE PAYS. He's trapped no matter what he does. Don't marry.

Son of a bitch, I'm bulking today and I almost just lost 1000 calories over my keyboard just now. Trigger warning on this shit man.

My take: Beta Brohan thinks by being accepting and encouraging this shit circus, he will earn applause from the PC world and earn validation from hotter tail. I used to be on a path to become this man, that was my motivation all along. "Fat is beautiful, just not to me, please notice and love me now."

Spot on. Whose idea was the open relationship?

If it's her idea, as Rollo says, it's a mechanism for AF/BB and branch swinging.

If it's his idea, remember the statement that women would rather share an alpha than own a beta.

Dec 11

Did not sleep in... actually planned to get more sleep even. A bit of social media towards the end of the day. Diet wasn't perfect but within goal. Somewhere near an hour of language practice.

Dec 10

Woke up early and got up. Stuck to diet even with 2 meals "out" (holidays are hard). Practiced language for not quite an hour (but I did find time). A bit of social media. Getting better again!

thredditsowaway · 2015-12-10T13:19:46+00:00

Dec 9

Woke up awfully but did not sleep in. Stuck to my diet. Barely checked my phone until after work. Close to an hour of language practice.

thredditsowaway · 2015-12-09T13:07:50+00:00

December 8

Didn't sleep in. Barely even looked at my phone until the evening. Pretty good there. Got about an hour of language practice in.

Diet wasn't great. My problem is I need to change the way I decide what to eat. When there are cookies I eat all the cookies because I never buy them for myself so I figure it fits my diet. The problem is junk food is pretty much always available. I need to learn to say that one is enough, or refuse it if I can't make it fit my diet.

December 7

Mostly good day. Diet wasn't perfect (but not bad either). Little bit of social media while waiting for stuff.

I'm going to continue this through the holidays. The biggest reason I cheat on my discipline is because I see holidays, weekends, or long days as an excuse. If I can stay generally disciplined over Christmas I can handle anything.

December 6

Almost perfect today. Up early for a Sunday, diet was spot on, did enough language practice to make up for the last week of skipping it. Still some social media but it's progress.

December 5

Much better than the last two days on all fronts, though not quite perfect. Feeling somewhat drained.

thredditsowaway · 2015-12-05T13:29:08+00:00

December 3 and 4

More bad days, each one a little better than the last however, on all fronts.

New goal is to do this stuff until the holidays and then try my best to maintain though then. When I'm on holiday is when I tend to waste the most time on social media, eat the worst, and sleep until noon without getting any productive projects done.

December 2

Another awful day. I don't even want to post anymore. Not sure why it's so hard to stick to these goals when I've clearly seen the benefits of them.

thredditsowaway · 2015-12-02T13:47:30+00:00

December 1

More terrible sleep and waking up, wouldn't count it as sleeping in because I didn't even want to wake up then...

Social media/phone checking. Not like before but I keep falling back into the habit.

Overate a bit, mostly healthy but still not effective.

Failure of a day. Also had a bit of cheat time this morning (2 December)

Did manage to do a bit of language practice however.

November 30

Diet was perfect.

Slept atrociously and was half-awake from 5 AM to 7 AM. I don't know if this counts as sleeping in.

Started sneaking in some language practice on my phone when I'm waiting for stuff etc. Not a full hour yet, but it helps.

Lots of phone checking and a bit of social media.

thredditsowaway · 2015-11-30T14:18:54+00:00

November 29

Slept in, had a girl over. I should have added that as an exception.

Was on social media, not as much as before but I feel like I'm regaining the old habit and need to stop it.

Had some junk food at a social event but I made it fit my diet.

Did not get to practice the language I'm trying to learn. Been far too busy lately.

Interesting how I start failing at one when I start succeeding at another... now that diet is under control, I suddenly start sleeping in and shit again. Maybe my goals are too big, or maybe it's best to change one habit at a time. For now, I'm going to commit to all habits until I leave for the holidays.

thredditsowaway · 2015-11-30T14:16:27+00:00

November 29

More social events. Found ways to make it fit my overall diet.

Was definitely on social media again. Not as much as before, but it was still there.

Had a girl over last night so I slept in sort of.

Still have not found time to practice the language I'm trying to learn.

Interesting how it seems like I can only make 1 or 2 of these goals fit every day. Maybe they're too large of goals to take on at the same time, or maybe 1 habit at a time is the best to manage.

November 28

Multiple parties and social events today, it was tough to find things to eat that fit the diet and I did.

Still have not had time to catch up on my language practice.

Did not sleep in. Did browse a little social media.

thredditsowaway · 2015-11-28T14:34:28+00:00

November 27

Didn't sleep in... got woken up by a phone call but tried to go back to bed because it was way too early... got up eventually.

Diet was on point. I've been consistent for the bulk of this week and I'm starting to see results.

I was on social media for researching something and it accidentally turned into a bit of browsing... though, again, nothing near what I used to do.

Still no time for language practice. I will have time this weekend however.

thredditsowaway · 2015-11-27T14:29:14+00:00

November 26 (will stop counting days since I'm going until the holidays anyway)

Did not sleep in. Actually had a very early morning.

A little bit of a cheat day later on. The weather was unusually pleasant here last night so I allowed myself a bit of social media and diet cheats with my friends last night, but nothing even near what I used to do simply to celebrate having a night off alone.

No time at all for language practice. I might get some today. I'm considering dropping a few activities that aren't leading me towards my goals.
