    I hate to be that annoying fuck who mentions having money to get by.

    But I have been broke for such a long time (until I started working on getting my life back on track), I even once got evicted from my then relatively cheap apartment in Berlin. I spent all the money I had back then on smoking pot. Tried getting away from my problems, mainly caused by being broke, by being stoned off my face 24/7. You can imagine how that went.

    So yeah. 15 years later, having saved enough so I don’t have to worry about these things anymore is a huge deal for me.

      Getting fully sober including quitting weed as an escape mechanism brought me a huge amount of peace, plus $500/mo back in money. I’m still struggling in many ways, took a huge pay cut to get into my current job (protected from AI for many years) but I have a savings account and a retirement account for the first time ever. Paying down debt, slowly. I get dopamine hits from interacting with people, fixing problems in my life. Instead of from a glass bowl and lighter, a bottle, etc.

    A satisfying bowel movement.

    The literal translation for “bathroom” in my native language is “house of peace”. Not sure if that applies whilst fighting for my life against a multi-burrito, beer bash bender, but I think it’s the general principle.

    “shitposts”. You know, just some random image that means nothing, isn’t funny, and makes no point. That’s exactly what a shitpost is, yessir.

    Is this AI? Can you photograph “the moon illusion”? I only ever saw the moon illusion once in my life and it was big like this.

      I’m really struggling to figure this one out. I’m leaning AI myself but idk. I hate the constant questioning of if everything online is real now it fucking sucks. I want to be able to see a cool photograph and go “hey that’s cool” and move on

        But there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.

        Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.

    Little things. I stopped chasing the big moments to get some kind of great peaceful feeling. Today my dog woke herself up by farting and it made me happy.
