Not for randomly drinking on the weekends.
Explains a lot.

Go to therapy. Quit and go backpacking. Have an affair or open up your relationship.

Sure, but you can share you account with 3 other households.

Re:What If You Could Do It All Over? on Sunday December 27, 2020 @12:27PM (#25552545)
There is nothing to do over, as I have not done anything. I am here through a series of events that have been out of my control.

As I currently lay on a bunkbed on a little cottage on a mountain somewhere in Europe, I could have never predicted or actively have made a choice to bring me here. If I believe I did, through consciously setting a goal, the series of events or choice to get me to that point would have been out of my control.

There is no control. Our decisions are influenced by all the previous decisions, decisions of others (our parents, our significant others, our bosses, etc), and external events outside of our control.

External events as insignificant as bus being late. Such an insignificant event but it could prevent someone from having meet their significant other, or to have lost a job, to have escaped a traffic accident, or to have heard an idea that completely changed their lives.

There is no free will. This is freeing and humbling. Freeing because you know you are doing the best you can, with the capabilities you have at this moment. Humbling because you know other people are too.

Sure my life would have been better had my parents stayed together, and my mom not immigrated but then I would have grown up in a third world country and would be confined to that normal life. Sure I went through a lot of trauma, but I have now the ability and freedom to travel the world.

All the trauma of my childhood and teenage years left me with intimacy issues, unable to sustain a long-term relationship. Do I wish that was not the case? I'm not too sure. I like my life, with the travelling and chaos. Had I not had emotional issues, I would probably have a family and kids by now, and be settle down. It's likely I would have enjoyed that, as I would be that guy who wants the family life, but I'm glad I'm this guy. It was not up to me anyway, who I will be in 10 years it's not up to me either.

This makes no sense. How about someone from a bootcamp or with an associate's degree?
They shouldn't
I wonder if Sabre's printers still catch on fire.

Stay at hostels, go to coworking spaces.

I got a really happy vibe from it. To finally come to the state at which you are truly content. It is just so perfect.

"Obviously making people purposely sick would be unethical"

What if it could save or improve their lives?

Re:Don’t work “remotely” on Monday November 19, 2018 @12:25PM (#18487954)
You just fix those problems in the future, it's just software.
They are not better off. Have you worked or even been there? Their culture is horrible? People are literally worked to death and sexism and xenophobia is rampant. The summers suck as it's too damn hot, to the point it sucks going out.
Re:Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2018) on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @11:23PM (#18127418)
don't make people have to create an account to apply to your positions.
Netflix has created some of the best TV shows I have watched in the past few years.

Strangers things, Maniac, The End of the F*ing World, Narcos, On my block, Master of none, El Chapo, Ozark, Glow, Disenchanted, Black mirror, Dare Devil, 13 reasons why, Jessica Jones, The Punisher, A series of unfortunate events, The OA, Orange is the new black

Those are just some of the ones I can recall at the moment.

Only other shows that I use popcorn time to watch are Game of thrones and Homeland.

Re:Next.js 7 on Wednesday September 19, 2018 @10:23PM (#18029294)
so with Next for SSR you use React as a templating engine and just send that back?
How do you feel about the travelling part?
- Why don't you try taking a long vacation? Stay in some hostels in South America. Meet some new people along the way. Maybe work remotely from there after you travel.

- You could try microdosing LSD for the low-level depression.

Re:How true hackers write JavaScript on Wednesday September 05, 2018 @12:26PM (#17919426)
should be using fat arrow functions.
- Travel

- Don't take life too seriously

- Party. Enjoy the nightlife. Go to clubs and bars and meet people.

- Approach anybody you are interested in.

That just sounds so boring and scary. I am 30 and the thought of being with the same person for the rest of my life sounds scary. To be honest I would most likely cheat in that situation.
