Hi everyone! I've been having trouble sleeping for quite a while. In addition to the lack of motivation to just go on living (that's been going on for far longer though). Plus my psychiatrist has not replied to my text. La di da. Surviving mostly on a couple of hours of sleep and the song 'What a life' from Another Round.

bob-coppola - Thanks buddy. Japan is still closed to international tourists as of now, so why not Hawaii? The fact that I can access Hawaii via a direct flight from North Carolina is a huge plus for me, too. Aloha!

Packing up your entire house to move out really blows.
Selling your house and not having bought a new house yet really blows.
The current housing market is insane. Made an offer $5k about list price the same day a house was listed and still was rejected for another offer. Trying to buy a house right now really blows.
Moving in with my parents while between houses (me, my wife, and 2 kids)...well you get the gist.

Passed my dissertation defense today! Still have to do some minor revisions by May, but everyone can call me Dr. Cake now. Kind of surreal knowing that I started writing it over 5 years ago... and itβs now done. Was hoping that the end of my committee meeting would play out like the scene below. Alas, it didnβt, but I guess it wouldnβt have been the same over Zoom...

welp, I bought my first stocks today We need details man put it all into GME obviously no, not really. On that day I bought 2 shares of AGCO, 1 share of AMD, and 4 shares of CRSR. Yesterday I bought 2 shares of VIAC after its insane 55% dip. Today I bought 2 shares of AAPL and 1 share of DIS I've spent almost exactly $1000 to make $17 bucks lol. That's how it goes. Agco, Apple and Disney are buy and hold forever, the others are shorter term but don't have exit strategies yet. I'm kicking myself because if I got into investing back in December/January I could've bought these much cheaper.

You should check out spce which has dropped 50% since last month but tends to back well after dips. Market just needs to quit being choppy first Give it a few months and that $17 profit will be like $200 if the bull market doesnβt die have you given options a thought?

Also fantastic recs, dkng is a personal fav of mine. Been hodling that one since it was in the 20s. Iβm confident it hits 100 by the end of the year. This morning wouldβve been a perfect time to buy, if you can get it under 60 youβre getting a bargain

In my Star Wars RPG group I rolled an INSANE brawl (34) and then followed it up with all ones (3) for damage. Sadface.

I got myself a Polaroid camera. Too bad I don't have a (dead) girlfriend whose arty, out-of-focus photos I could look at and then stare into the distance.
Seriously though, the film required is so expensive!

Had my 3 year old nephew over and he wanted ketchup so I gave him ketchup for his chicken... but got angry at me because it wasn't from one of the packets in the bag. I told him that the stuff out of the bottle was the same exact brand and those packets are emergency relief packets for when I run out of the bottle! He would not listen to reason and I would not back down. Needless to say he ate cold chicken with the ketchup from the bottle. TRY ME AGAIN, THREE YEAR OLD!
Also have 5 packets of ketchup added to the emergency condiment bag. Double score.

Also have 5 packets of ketchup added to the emergency condiment bag. Double score. Up until this past week, I thought I had accumulated a lifetime supply of ketchup packets from getting so much takeout over the past year, but discovered I somehow only had one packet left when I sat down to eat one night, so I had to squeeze that thing for all it was worth (I didn't have a bottle). Jerry Seinfeld's advice for a husband whose wife would rather throw out ketchup packets instead of saving them (5:50):

thank you! It's just a phone interviewer job for a survey company I applied to like three weeks ago on Indeed. I imagine the pay isn't great but anything right now would be amazing. Nervous/excited. My best advise is to look up common interview questions so you can at least think thru how youβd answer them and not get caught off guard. I generally do a decent amount of prep for interviews. Also, have some questions ready to go for at the end if they ask if you have any questions for them. Always ask a question in that scenario. Hereβs some ones to cherry pick from. www.thecut.com/article/questions-to-ask-in-a-job-interview.html
