Poor man's partner

Why is this so poor...

Another niche for me. Hold my dębowe mocne.

2 million dollares, you know what I can build for 2 million dollares... absolutely wicked tech. Just gimme tools.

Thought you wanted to paint or do art.

Art + engineering + business to be exact. It's clear as the sky for me.
If I had to choose one, I'd do find what I found in the past, mediocre, disappointing jobs, bad payments and advice to get a degree.
Who the hell gets a degree living in hallucinatory states... this is inaccurate for me.

I’ve seen these types of robots a lot. I think you can buy kits to build your own one?

One good robot that isn't for sale is better than 100 robots built for sale.

It's like with cars, you can drive BMW or have BMW + your vision, or your vision + BMW parts.

I have only visions.

And they aren’t even built for sale. You pay to build them lol.

I assume it’s just a hobby, like buying those kits to build model cars and planes.

my favorite "hobby": staring at spreadsheets for 12 hours straight

sometimes I think people have nothing more than hobbies in their life

people may trick themselves into thinking a 12-hour grind is actually fun and everything else is just a hobby

job is neither a hobby nor point of life

you can't take a single buck with yourself to your grave

job (sometimes with a degree!) + hobbies - lifeless starter pack

if you want to see boss, maybe stare at his posts https://officeoutlaw.com/members/t0mmy.237/
or Dopious

relax and peace come naturally to me when I observe those people

edit: my point is that it doesn't have to be a hobby, it's a lifestyle few people have

I don’t understand exactly what point you are trying to make.

People fill their lives with meaningless hobbies? Something like that?

Everything is meaningless, technically. Humans have no purpose in life beyond existing. They can fill the voids in their life with whatever they want and define their own meanings themselves.

Point is in my post, I edited it. Hobbies are boring. Solo ventures and joint ventures are the cake I choose, just businessman at my core.

Point of life is having kids, feeling comfortable + what you set. And you have to find God.

And that’s how you’ve defined the point of life, so that works for you. But that isn’t universal. People don’t have to reproduce, be happy, or believe in a religion to live. They just exist regardless.

If someone decides that their purpose in life is to make art, they might pursue that as a hobby, and they wouldn’t find it meaningless.

What about creating new framework for everything? Why use the default OS system puts into us?

We all know it's not enough to pursue career or be master at one skill. Come on! It's a recipe for dissatisfaction. These limits are FAKE.

That’s what I’m saying, though. You can do that. But why do other people have to use your OS that you created? They are all using their own, or they are copying another OS that they were told was the “right way to live”.

Let them choose. But their robots are utter shite. Why? Not beautiful. That's it.

Only cute. But for 2 million you can build skyscraper if you try hard enough!! Probably never happened, but...

Oh, you’re an aestheticist, then? That makes a lot of sense.

It’s nice to have a strong sense of purpose in life. It definitely can make a person a lot happier, as long as they have the room to actually follow their beliefs. But it can make it hard to understand why other people do what they do, so I try to keep an open mind; even if I don’t personally like someone else’s lifestyle.

And I’ll still complain about them in private.

I'm constructing a single, massive work of art where every breath, every dollar, and every venture is a deliberate brushstroke.

This makes my life complete. It tunes my life and existence to signal instead of noise.

Dopious, zen masters and other people told me this when I was searching for meaning in building IT systems - it sucked. I didn't need it. I had to slow down.

I did all of those things and now I'm grateful for what I experience. Everything fits big image like a perfect puzzle - not disconnected piece that felt like pain in the past...
