I donât disagree with this.
Some things are worth the risk of âlosing everythingâ though. I guess I take the tact that I have lost everything and that does not scare me. I know I can do it all again.
Everything is calculated. It depends on the time and place and what I want to do. 
A few of the best things in my life have happened after pretty shitty things that I didnât really see an upside to. The outcome of an event is a maybe, not a good or bad in many cases (at least for me, but I suspect this is true for most). I try to remember this.
At my last job, my role kinda changed as the company really started to dial back R&D (product development). I was formally doing lots of creative design work, and my role changed into basically a paperwork engineer. I wasnât a good fit, wasnât motivated, and probably wouldnât have lasted much longer (I bet they would have fired me within a year, based on how things were going, I was pretty terrible at this new role). I was pretty down about all of this. The upcoming loss of financial security mostly. Was having trouble sleeping. Well, that drove me to look for a different job, and I found one that was a much better fit for me. Much more autonomy, a third of the commute, a private office, a big increase in pay, and I just like it much much better. It is a better fit. So that terrible upcoming event turned into something I am so glad happened.
Glad you appreciate my humor. Itâs a rare cat that gets me.
To set the record straight, my vitriol should not have been directed at you, but some of your posts triggered me. Triggers are, typically, a sign of things I need to work on.
I expect that in real life, we would get along well - we are both well educated, like to lift.
So, mea culpa. I recognize that my anger was misdirected.
Maybe youâre just an asshole.
Thatâs fair - no hard feelings.
And I agree on getting along in person.
Drop the maybe, capitalize the Y and you would be correct.
Game recognizes game.
Weird deal, I tend to get along with people with whom I have had conflict. Itâs kind of a mutual respect thing.
Or at least I respect a combatant.
Yeah, and seriously, who doesnât like a Bugatti? Iâm not even a car guy and I love them.
I think we are mutually discussing limitation, manifested differently.
I would suggest itâs a burden to unshackle from in any case.
I am partial to Porsches. While I grew up middle class, circumstances led my family to having a 924 and a 911 SC.
I have not bought a new car nor had a car payment in 24 years. I am not sure if it is because I am broke or because they just arenât important to me.
My brother, on the other hand, has had a Boxster, a 735i, a Ferrari, and several large trucks (small dick energy), including his current GMC Sierra Denali with some godawfully large diesel.
The asshole lawyer brother, not the dead doctor brother. He drove a Mazda PU.
From humble beginnings, right?
A friend of mine had a Boxster for a good while. Damn, that thing was fun.
My one brother got himself some kind of awesome Audi and recently got his wife the nice Porsche suv.
But in a couple years my aveo will be a âclassicâ. 
The Boxster was great. A phenomenal car. I think my brother sold it for $16K. Definitely not a supercar, but a cool ride.
His Ferrari was a piece of shit, as was the BMW.
My favorite car to this day was the 1980 Honda Prelude.
The 911SC was nice, but it was my dadâs and we really couldnât afford it. A product of financial power play between business owners.
It was new, 1981, very fast!
The 924 did not suck if you can believe that.
But, you get tired of German engineering not paying attention to door handles, window cranks, and driver comfort.
The Prelude was a great car. The Bronco and the Legend, close seconds.
I am most fond of my bicycle these days. It has a tandem and panniers and serves me well. Repairs are easy, cheap, and infrequent.
Itâs only getting worse. Weâll wear clean clothes⊠WtfâŠ
They are worried about parvovirus. Paranoid is more like it.
My hot takeâŠ.
Gaston had every right to go after the beast.
Flame away~
Thatâs pretty funny.
Gaston, based on Avenant from an earlier film version, is the beast.
No Spoiler Alert?
Definitely!
