Got busted for 800 kilos already this year. Why is he not in jail? How does this happen?

Got a couples massage, wife does not want a male masseuse. So I was like all right whatever I’ll do it. Bro dug his fingernails all up on me for the next 50 minutes.

If you suddenly made an extra $100,000–$200,000 a year, how would your life actually change?


I’m in my early 40s and luckily throughout my life have made smart financial decisions. I invested early, established some steady real estate income, and have generally lived within my means. At this point, I could work very little if I wanted to and still be financially comfortable. And the last few years I have done just that.

As a challenge, I recently took over a family blue-collar business. It wasn’t really the business model I had planned for, but things change and I’m doing a lot of the manual labor myself and working a lot more hours than I have in years.

I’m making roughly four times as much money as I ever have before.

But this year, I’ve mostly just been stacking the cash. I really haven’t spent much of it. I know it sounds like a terrible problem to have, but I’m working a lot more and my life hasn’t really improved that much.

So now I’m trying to figure out what I’m actually supposed to do with the extra money.

Do I buy my wife a new Tahoe? Buy a little lake house? Put more money into investments? Start another business?

For the last few years, I’ve been “working” very little. With all that free time, I mostly got myself into trouble getting political, sticking my nose into things where it probably didn’t belong, and trying to volunteer my skills to local government, where they often didn’t seem to see much value in them.

Now people actually pay me for those skills.

With varied skills, and the time I’m putting into this business, I could reasonably start several other businesses, and I have plenty of ideas. But I’m starting to realize that money is pretty useless if you don’t have the time to take care of basic things, enjoy your family, travel, or actually enjoy your free time.

So I’m curious what other people would do.

Some ideas I’ve considered:

• More and better vacations. The problem is that the rest of my family is busy and have their own schedules. Friends can’t afford to travel, and the wife doesn’t want to leave their dogs for very long.

• Buy back time through services- house cleaning, lawn and home maintenance, meal preparation, etc.

• Spend more money on better food and healthier meals without necessarily hiring a private chef.

• Put more money away for college, weddings, retirement, and the future.

• Start or buy another business, one more profitable and less labor intensive, maybe one I can scale and have an exit strategy.

• Buy something fun or meaningful, like a lake house. ( time and money pit)

What would you do with an extra $100,000 or $200,000 a year?

And more importantly, what would you do with the extra time, or lack of it that comes with making that money?

Plain leaf is fine. Synthetic was created from demand because of bans and restrictions. New bans and restrictions create new analogs. The government can’t keep up. The synthetic stuff is probably fine too. A large percentage of our senior population takes opiates every day. There’s just some people who will do anything to get high, including sniff gasoline.

Mormonism has real named witnesses to their miracles, real martyrs, no one would die for a lie. Unprecedented growth and the highest life satisfaction that could only be if their beliefs were true.

The sheer magnitude of influence upon us is undeniable. There are dozens of major unexposed influences affecting us in simple task like what we will eat for dinner, not even considering genetic and epigenetic phenomena. Take an alcoholic who is now sober for example, it seems they exercise their free will to do so, or maybe they’re just the type of person that can make it happpen.

Maybe, just maybe there is a narrow spectrum of Will that we can exercise, but even then that spectrum is probably predetermined, and some people have more agency than others. Because here’s the thing I can influence you and you can influence me, but can I influence myself. The answer is likely, yes, and that ability is likely predetermined.

What most people care about is that their influences are uniquely theirs and something they can identify with. People are OK with that.

It’s fascinating how religious traditions grow in dialogue with their historical context. By the time Christianity emerges, Judaism had already evolved through Persian and Hellenistic influence. The idea that any tradition is culturally isolated doesn’t really match history.

One’s beliefs does not determine their dispositions or how they treat people. You could find this spectrum in any belief system. For most people, a belief system is shallow, or an identity marker to defend.

One of the biggest arguments against Christianity is that Christian are scripturally said to be more fruitful, and on average they are not more than anyone else, and by their own definition.

CITY PORK!!
