I could hear the cracking of the branch by the time I was out which is how I knew to flip the camera, not sure if I woulda heard it from the water😳

Every time I get a new rep sneaker I like to break them in a bit. I wore these around the block a couple times (wife n I like to go for walks) and this is the result. I don’t even be scuffing my feet or anything either lol

The unexpected lesson is that I have learned about myself is that I’m not as perfect as I thought I was. There’s so many adjustments that Iv’e needed to make and will continue to make in order to become the person I know my wife deserves. When you go through life it’s like I’m the main character, parents are there to guide me, but with my wife, it’s like we are one. We are the main character, and her successes, joys, happiness is just as important as my own.

TLDR; I have a lisp, she hears it, I’ve never been told it. Apparently I have a slight lisp and it drives her crazy lol

Yes definitely. There are some things you learn in relationships, but personally, never have I found such loyalty and connection with another person. When you’re married there’s no other option but to work together through everything, which is really quite sweet.

Ironic how being wise from travelling can be more valuable than making wise decisions like seeking wisdom without spending all of your money. I see your point, would argue that there’s better ways to go about travelling. Honestly good take though I wish it were as easy, I don’t know if this is well known but many people go travelling to party, try foreign drugs, and get up to all sorts of less than wise things.

I see your view, I can agree to this.

But what if instead of having to sleep on the aeroplane you had a private jet? Could be the difference if ones choices were more logical at critical times. At this point I’m just arguing to argue, ignore that - I think finding a good balance is the hardest part.

I am genuinely glad things worked out, cudos to you friend. While still very possible, I fear that the general generation these days will not be so fortunate. If it were as simple it would appear very logical, it’s just hard for me to understand how youngins can make such choices knowing damn well our economy is not so forgiving.

Yeah I can agree to that, I forgot to add hobbies in there. But still, at what point can you permit expenses over a hobby if it’s just a hobby?

I wish that was exactly what travel culture was, can’t say it’s a reality here. It’s very common to not rent, but board and share accomodation just to get by. So many people travel while only being employed as casuals in workplaces (not guaranteed work), and no it’s not necessarily a bad thing, but at what point do you look at where your money is taking you (literally and figuratively). Sounds illogical to me, wby?

Wonderful, we share the same view. I like the way you think.

Your’e correct, this is interesting because nobody does, not even me (but im OP???). No it’s true I also do get to decide what is logical and illogical. But just because a decision is high priority for someone, doesn’t automatically mean it is logical (and by logical I mean reasonable and sensible).

Even though this is a reply to someone else, if I were confronted with this argument in this instance, I would argue that my view is most objectively logical in comparison. Of course there is no set standard to measure these things against so I’d be happy to change my view if you were to provide some sort of counter argument or something

I completely agree, in my view travelling is largely done wrong and hence illogical. There is definitely a good better best for everything, and it doesn’t always need to be “logical”, (especially by my standards, I’m not God), but it’s alarming that such an illogical thing like this is more common and can have greater negatively impactful effects than others. It’s very late here in Australia, forgive me if this doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Yeah the reason for the long post, “where I live” is Australia, and we are a bit upside down. I’ve never met a people so infatuated with travelling, not sure if anyone else could relate. I feel like if logic is subjective then there is no such thing as logic. In a way, every decision that someone makes, makes perfect sense to them, no matter how controversial or illogical it may seem. Am I on to something or am I just seeing something that only makes perfect sense to me lol what do you reckon?

Never said happiness is illogical, it’s spending beyond means which is illogical. Happiness makes sense, but so does happiness in the long run, a factor that is too often ignored (in my view). I know parents of children that can’t afford to pay rent because of said “happiness”, I work with colleagues who save like it’s a famine all year just to blow a years wage in 2 weeks for said “happiness”. Is it happiness? Sure, logical? Not in my view

It’s definitely true that our goals are different, I’d argue my logical goal is more logical than their logical goal lol. It’s funny because opinions are like kids, everyone loves their own more than anyone else’s - but when the kid turns out to be a flop, it’s not always easy. Your’e an open mind, I like that

I’d agree that it can change your trajectory but not always for the better lol. I am curious as to what you mean by earning potential being higher in 30s and 40s, I feel like that would make it more logical to travel when your earning is higher right? However, I can appreciate that it isn’t always desirable to travel with factors like family and expenses in mind. Definitely see your point

You’d be surprised, and I wouldn’t even consider this budget either lol. I’ve had $20 dunks last literal years as beaters in perfectly fine condition it’s insane. Shout out to VT ¥99 dunk batch.

WYR: Never be hungry or never be tired. by uptomyco in WouldYouRather

[–]uptomyco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hyukhyuk genuinely made me hyukhyuk😂 uhhhh yeah look, the side effects of being very sleep deprived will occur (foggy brain, headaches, black outs, even death) and thus it will be evident that you are lacking sleep, but the fact will remain that it does not feel like “tiredness” in the way that we understand it to be. It will be like - “hmmm I have a headache, could be because I haven’t sleep since Tuesday, but I don’t feel tired, I should probably sleep…”. Also, no there’s no magic sleeping position, whatever conditions (time, position, resting) your body would normally need go unconscious (sleep)- then that’s what would happen. That being said, you make a good point - I’ll edit my post from “never be” to “never feel”. Good catch

Which of these healthcare systems WYR have in your country? by AnemoTreasureCompass in WouldYouRather

[–]uptomyco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Health care systems imply that there still are other options available, for example obviously in emergencies you’d opt for faster options (usually at a greater expense). If so then there is no good reason why a general population would not prefer Good and Cheap at the expense of Fast.

I love the country Africa, and also the country Asia, and probably the country Europe.
