My advice to young men in their 20s is fairly ruthless but very practical.
If you wait till your 30s it gets harder and you lose some options…
Some people will say it’s “toxic” but the harsh truth is that deep down this is the answer, as unpleasant as it might be upfront…
Destroy your distractions and any vices you have… and I mean DESTROY THEM…
Annihilate them in a brutal fashion so there is no temptation left…
The world is not forgiving to those who don’t offer it enough utility/value.
Forsake the need for others approval.
If you have 3-5 good friends in this world that is plenty…
Don’t spend money on anything that doesn’t create value.
Your escapism and outlets are reading books from people smarter and wiser than you… both fiction and non-fiction.
Your hobbies are self improvement, working out, solo or group sports you can play and meditation.
If you’re in front of a screen, you’re either monetizing it or it’s monetizing you… so you better be monetizing it.
There is nearly zero value offered by indulging in pop culture and media for more than 5 hours a week if at all.
It isn’t a meaningful source of connection or shared interests once you look hard enough at it…
What? You’re going to spend your free time to talk about people more rich and more famous than you and more attractive who pretend to be other people? In impossible scenarios you can’t live up to or have access to if you tried?
And you’re supposed to bond with real people over your love of fake people that don’t really exist?
You don’t need to waste time relating over that…
Yes I’m being a bit extreme and hyperbolic here, but I want you to understand the absolute joke this is.
Put yourself in the position to talk about the things you’ve done…
The places you’ve been..,
The differently you have made…
The things that you think and believe in…
The things you have lived through…
Strive to become a person of depth, of value and of substance…
For escapism take up the arts or crafting or anything that allows you to CREATE…
In doing so you have more depth and value than talking about what someone else did or created…
And you gain skills that have value that you can exchange.
From a financial standpoint… being more focused and frugal means you can secure your future.
Max put your ROTH IRA or get as close as you can every single year.
When you invest properly, just remember your money doubles every 5 to years.
If you grind hard enough in your 20s you can invest $100k and the sooner you do the better, because after that wealth becomes inevitable…
Spend your 20s learning to earn.
You’re not missing out on “life”.
When people tell you that “you’ll miss out on life in your 20s”…
They are talking about
- disposable relationships
- drinking and drugging
- loosing sleep to late night parties
- eating garbage
- consuming content
- losing money on disposable relationships
- high risk behavior
None of which has any long term upside compared to finding your purpose by pursuing self improvement.
- Read 2-4 books a month and out their lessons into practice, fiction and non fiction, 1-2 of each.
- The money that would be spent on going out and eating junk food can be spent on wonderful travel experiences 1-2 times a year
- Do trips and spend time with friends and the cost of anything gets divided and the enjoyment is multiplied …
- Consider living with friends to save money and to eliminate adult loneliness, save and invest money
- Use free time outside of self improvement to side hustle and earn more money to invest and save
- Spend money on quality of life purchases instead of status symbols and distractions
- Take care of your body, dress well, good hygiene and grooming is real self care
- Keep your mind free of substances that give control to something other than yourself.
- Become someone who is always in the position to improve the lives of the people you are about
Head down for 7-10 years…

Data engineers can have an impact in many ways:
- Easily measurable impact
Efficiency gains in their pipelines and data tables. This can be measured in gigabytes or compute hours which easily translates into cloud savings.
Latency improvements in their pipelines and data tables can easily be measured by setting stricter SLAs and seeing the pipelines hit them!
Supplying metrics for experimentation that are used to measure the lift or decrease of values usually correlate with more growth, more revenue, more engagement, etc.
- Harder-to-measure impact
Data engineers increase the data quality of data sets. This measurement is harder because you're measuring "nothing bad happened" similar to cybersecurity. Just because nothing bad happened doesn't mean you've improved your data quality!
Enabling your team to move faster with streamlined processes and tech. Data engineering teams don't track their time down to the minute. This can be a hard thing to distinguish. Just because your improvement saves you 2 hours a week doesn't mean it'll save your teammates that much time!
- Immeasurable impact
Data engineers are key contributors to data-informed cultures in companies. Without trust in the data, data-informed cultures degrade. Measuring this is pretty much impossible though.
Data engineers also play a key role in the data value chain of keeping team spirits high and creating good inter and intra-team dynamics. This can be measured poorly with surveys

Jesus no wonder they're so terrified of letting @Docstockk speak. Everything I've seen from her these past few days she's absolutely nailed the core points in convincing, easy to understand points without getting bogged down in the weeds of the minutae

“Trans women are women” strips both women and trans people of the ability to have real conversations about their experiences.
I have the best talks with my female friends about our shared experiences AND how we are inherently different.
Lying that we are the same helps no one.

We’ve long said that if you replace the word “terf” with the word “woman” you see what trans activism really is
When you replace the word “transwomen” with the word “men” the same revelation applies
Here’s a quick thread of examples:

🧵During our time in CCWF, the world’s largest women’s prison, we learned:
-women are denied breast reductions that are deemed cosmetic while transwomen w penises are given breast implants.
-laser hair removal is available as healthcare for transwomen w or without penises.

BREAKING: Florida has officially outlawed the mutilation and sterilization of children! Today @GovRonDeSantis has signed into law a bill bans “gender affirming care” for minors.
He has also signed into law bills that prohibit drag shows for children, as well as barring schools from compelling the speech of students to use “proper pronouns” and prohibits students and teachers from using the bathroom opposite of their biological sex.
This is monumental and we are so happy to see another state step up and do the right thing!
We will win this war state by state!

Hold on a minute!
There is nothing on this sticker that says trans.
If stating a simple fact about WOMEN is automatically “anti-trans” then what is actually happening here is activists admitting they are anti-female.
These stickers are Pro-Women.
Woke activists are more than welcome to put up their own pro-trans stickers if they like.
Message to these dystopian men’s rights activists:
👉🏼Stop making everything women do about you!!
Three cheers for #AdultHumanFemale status. 🎆

IM BRINGING THE RECIEPTS!! It's time I destroy the narrative yet again and the NYT article Maggie Astor wrote about me, beginning with the disingenuous title, “How a Few Stories of Regret Fuel the Push to Restrict Gender Transition Care.” 🧵

Meet our team here at Transsexual Unity! @BuckAngel
My name is Buck Angel. I am a sixty year old transsexual man. I am a biological female who has gender dysphoria. Because of this diagnosis I have chosen to live my life looking as a male. It has helped my dysphoria subside so

Funny how sex and gender are really complicated concepts, too difficult for our silly gender critical brains to grasp, but five year old children have them all figured out.

Imagine living in a country where women have to meet in secret and if their meeting place is revealed there are vile protests and people threatening venues to cancel the bookings. Imagine living in a country where a perfectly lawful public event is cancelled due to vile protests,

BREAKING: Two Colorado families are suing their children's school district that encouraged their daughters to join a "LGBTQ club" and keep the activities a secret from them.
The girls, who were in 6th grade, were told if they aren't happy in their bodies that means they're trans.
Spoiler alert: No adolescent girl is completely happy in their body! They’re going through puberty and those changes can be scary and uncomfortable. That doesn’t mean they’re the opposite gender 🫠
Schools must stop brainwashing kids to believe they would be better off if they pumped themselves full of toxic drugs and chopped their breasts off.
We’re thrilled to see these parents taking action against their school.

I wonder how many transwomen would stay 'women' if the government passed a law that women cannot own property, or open a bank account, or vote.

A message to @kelly_cadigan
I’m going to explain this, really slowly, so that hopefully people will understand what I’m saying.
If you allow males, however they identify, into the womens washroom, then the violent men, who are rapists/flashers/perverts, who many trans women claim to be afraid of, will then don a wig, and join you in the womens restroom.
Therefore, no males should be given special pass, to use the womens restroom.
Everytime anyone has tried to explain this to you all you do is shout
“But I’m different! I’ve had the surgery/I pass! I’ve used the womens washroom for years and never caused a problem!”
Okay great. I’m glad you’re a good person. Truly. I wish you all the best, including safety and privacy.
But now, that activists have taken on the “trans cause” every disgusting male has now heard that by mere declaration he can access as many women as he wants in locker rooms, bathrooms, and prisons.
How exactly do you expect to put that Genie back in the bottle?
If you truly are afraid of male rapists, then these policies make transwomen just as much unsafe, as they make me, girls, and other women.
And unlike whether you are male and female, nobody can actually tell who truly has gender dysphoria, and has had “the surgery” and who exactly is doing this for nefarious reasons by looking at them.
And making it something as arbitrary as “pass-ability”, which to the eye of the beholder is going to vary with each opinion, once again you can pass very well and still be a pervert, with a penis.
Also how elitist are you that you think every trans person can just afford hundreds of thousands of dollars of surgery just to try and meet some arbitrary beauty standard, that their personal safety should be dependent on what amount of money they have to spend?
Again there are transwomen who do not pass who have had the surgery.
Where are they, according to you supposed to go?
You claim you’re against transitioning minors but yet pass-ability is exactly what people who are for transitioning minors argue is the reason for doing it!
And I would argue that making lifelong medical decisions affecting bone health, brain health, sexual health, and fertility based on looks is not a good standard.
And by emphasizing pass-ability you are arguing for the very thing you are fighting against.
I’ve tried to be kind, and say that I care about you, because I do, you have innate human dignity.
And you apparently care about not transitioning minors, so you’re on the “same team”
But if arguing for third spaces isn’t appreciated than I won’t waste my time arguing for it.
I’m extremely frustrated in case you can’t tell.
I’m frustrated because no matter how many perverts/flashers/rapists take advantage of trans friendly policies to hurt women and girls, you don’t seem to care.
And I’m mad about it.
So the end.

We can’t believe this is a serious discussion even taking place right now.
