I'm confident that I can speak English fluently and in a way that other people can understand.
That's about it.

While not 100% certain, I am confident that in the future the working class will successfully bring about global socialism, hopefully even reaching a better, communist future, where production is run to satisfy the needs of society as best as possible rather than for profit.
That I'm a good person. Really didn't believe that for a lot of my life but therapy helped - not just in how I see myself but in how I BE myself too. I'm still really a degenerate at heart but one with self control and the ability to communicate what I'm feeling. What I want, and to clarify how other people feel.
I'm confident in my ability to communicate, to handle awkward social situations, in my hobbies.
I am confident about my ability to get back into shape. I've let myself go over the part couple years. It happens. But I'm back on track.
I'm confident that even two decades after leaving college I can write an essay on any literary, historical, or philosophical text in a single draft without more than half an hour of reading and turn it in for an above-average grade.
Very good, how long is the turnaround time for the essay production after that 0.5 hours?
Twenty minutes per twelve-point-double-spaced page, give or take, I'm not a fast typist.
for what kind of assignment, are we talking undergrad or grad school papers?
Undergrad, non-research papers. Textual analysis, that sort of thing.
thanks, I don't know why it was worth clarifying that, but it was a kind of impulse for me to do so anyway, lol - sorry about that, but also thank you 🫶
That people are extreamly easy to control and influence by governments and big tech companies.
Humanity is literally living inside their phones now and their minds are influenced daily by what they are shown, by algorithms.
I would not have children in this future.
Guessing the price of a laptop based on date of purchase, stickers and physical aspect
what is the relationship(s) between all of them
I can usually know somewhat closely the Intel processor generation based on the look of it (7th through 10th/11th straight up tell you), and you do know whether it’s an i5 7… etc with teh sticker. Additional stickers may indicate dedicated graphics. Seeing the display and form factor gives other indications to what segment the product belongs and what price class it targets. Finally the date of purchase tells me roughly if it is new, or a model that is getting discontinued soon and that should be discounted.
I feel like stickers are a big turn off for me but Im not sure why. If I had them i would want to peel them off like an old scab or something to make it smooth
You’d be surprised at how many people keep them. Not having stickers naturally increases uncertainty, but by chassis, display and date of purchase alone, I can still get a broad estimate of cost
Not that i judge or look down on, its just a cue for me that they might not e super savvy or Im probably not the market segment targeted by it
My fire eating and fire safety expertise. I have a lot of creds and am happy to share it with others.
That’s awesome! Any chance you would post a video of eating fire? What are the safety guidelines you’re following? Either way thanks for sharing that interesting information.
Not the best photo because it's outdoors, but I love it because of the backdrop. I used to be part of a historic cast at a landmark building until Trump forced me to flee the country, but I have big plans for the future.
Safety and tech is a huge topic that I can't summarize in a post, and that's without even getting into fire eating which is its own monster.
That’s so kick ass!!! So sorry to hear you were forced to flee to leave the country and what it seems a really great place that you worked at as well… I’ve definitely eyeing the same plan as you but just don’t know what country I’d go to. Any suggestions? Also, how long have you been doing the fire eating for? I’m sure you take plenary of caution and lots of training that’s got to be fun to pull out at like a party 🎉 😄
About 10 years. I do lots of other sideshow stuff too so I have a lot of party tricks.
I went to Canada and have been absolutely loving it here. Canada does have its issues, but has overall been a net positive. The overall quality of life and baseline happiness are both much higher than the US. My partner and I have only felt welcomed since we arrived.
