Right, but tiresome

If you would consult the graph...
I’ve completely switched my default mode of operation this past year from saving as much as possible to just simply make more. It happened naturally for various reasons; the most prominent being running the HFT startup. Quite the difference on how I operate now. I’d say it’s a much better mental model for like generally speaking.

再强调一遍,浏览外网或翻墙被派出所传唤,根本不用慌。 首先是网警从流量监控系统中标记了你,然后会通知你当地的派出所片儿警将你传唤问话。 你的不当言论,会被打印出来,放在你面前。 你的手机,会要求解锁,他们会检查你在群里,聊天软件里还说了什么。 民警是很忙,但如果接到系统派发的工单,再忙也要处理,不然就一直挂在系统里,影响KPI了。 处理这种事,民警作为体制内打工人,他的自由裁量权很大的。你其实是增加他们工作量的一个小麻烦。只要好好配合,他们没必要跟你计较太多。 所以只要保证流程合规,上交资料完整,应付检查就行了。但你如果要装逼,摆出不合作的姿态,那不好意思,想整你的途径和方法太多了,哈哈。 去了之后,态度好一点,姿态低一点,开口说:“领导,不好意思,给你添麻烦了。” 然后最重要的是问话环节,他问你答。你不要没事找事,自己多说乱说。不知道、不了解、没做过的,直接就说不知道,别的一概不说。但你确实做过的,而且白纸黑字的放在你面前,那就不要抵赖。 不要说任何对抗性的言论。比如什么什么做的不对,所以我要批判。 如果你是因为不当发言被传唤,就说:“我理解错了意思,以为他在说什么,所以我才说了什么,表达有偏差。其实我不是这个意思。” 如果你是因为浏览了网站被传唤,就说我是不小心点到的,我一点开它就推送了,我也不知道为什么。 只要你态度好,把事情往小了说,一般也就是记录一下。没人愿意增加自己的工作量,对不对? 笔录确认没问题,签字盖章,这事儿就翻篇儿了。 千万不要装逼硬刚。 还有,虽然翻墙了,但什么该说、什么不该说,作为一个成年人,生在红旗下,长在春风里,接受了国家这么多年的教育,自己心里应该有点逼数。 毕竟你爸不是李刚,就算是,也不行。

My youngest came to our bed to sleep with us last night (as she does most nights) I woke up half off the bed and cannot move my neck today. Self-medicating with Lagavulin and hot compresses. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

Jesus christ, I can barely walk, I'm drunk, and I'm asking my boss for a 30% raise tomorrow. We'll see how it goes.

Your "peers" aren't making this money at 25. People who are smarter than you, luckier than you, and higher agency than you are "I didn't make as much as the .001%" is and always has been an idiotic yardstick. There are children to raise, grass to touch and sunshine to feel
We're living in a horrifying, fascinating new era of Silicon Valley where: 1. You can build a startup in 9 months, get acquired (but rly acquihired) by OpenAI, Anthropic, or Cognition, and walk away a multi-millionaire 2. You can join the right company at 22 and become effectively post-economic And I don't think we've even begun to grapple with the degree to which this is warping an entire generation's relationship with money, ambition, work, and success. When your peers are making generational wealth before 25, what does a normal career even look like anymore

I pulled the IRS data, 110 people in the United States under the age of 25 made $10M or more total in 2023

I just explained shrimp welfare to my wife, and she said "they should go to church"
Every ethical system not explicitly about duty will sooner or later become about shrimp welfare.

Brazil's $EWZ ETF is down nearly 20% in the overnight market after Lula's surprise presidential victory over Bolsonaro.
*LULA WINS BRAZIL PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, DATAFOLHA PROJECTS This is a huge shock and will lead to more volatility both in Brazil and in the market. Investing in emerging markets is not for the faint of heart. Thanks for playing, good luck.

When you're married to her and the father of her children, she lets you do it. You can do anything you want. As often as you want.

The solution is to stop caring what other people's place in society is relative to yours. I am and will always be "behind" people who inherited 8 figs in their 20s. IDGAF
We are both 35 years old I have $0 and you have $200,000 Moving forward you invest $0 and I start investing $1,000 a month every single month We each get a 8% average return I will never catch up to you

This isn't easy to do, by the way. I had to spend a decade burning envy out of my heart. But I'm a better man for it.
