What did you grow?

Graphic design of print on demand products. I started it in 2017 when I was between jobs, put in serious effort for about two years, I still make around $200 a month passively from it. Doesn’t pay all the bills but it does give me a decent chunk of beer money.

I’m now exploring choice mushroom growing, as there is a shit ton of money to be made in oysters and lions mane rn.

And what about the ones, like me, in red states? How fucked are we? (I know the answer and hence drunk and high rn)

Thank you!

No they’re like if seafood had edges. It is super delicious.

I just handed my notice in to a job I tried to quiet quit, but failed at. Turns out I have too much guilt to just not work, and intentionally becoming shit at my job seems to feed the imposter syndrome in my brain. Anyway, I decided just to cut ties, and we are parting on good terms. I am working my last month now, and will be officially unemployed as of December 1st.

I am FUCKING THRILLED! For the first time in 25 years I’ll be intentionally not working and not looking for work, and I’ll also not struggle financially because of it. I plan to find a job in early 2025, but I’m gonna enjoy a few months to myself first. I’m gonna indulge in my hobbies, enjoy my home, my yard, take walks, have coffee on the deck, sleep in. I’m going to use my office for my own personal endeavors and explore starting my own software project.

I’m already dreading looking back at this period and wishing I was still in it.

Mmm it tastes fizzy!

Is it like lions mane?

Thanks!

Outdoor hobbies. I’ve got really into foraging, which has multiple benefits, I get to be outside, I get exercise, I learn new things which stimulates my brain, and if I’m lucky I also get free food (which is usually superior in taste and nutrition to store bought). I combine it with hiking, fishing, geocaching etc and if I’m alone I sometimes listen to music on my headphones. Once you start developing outdoor hobbies it’s like you unlock an insanely intricate open world video game.

I just recently quit my job and it’s got me thinking about app development around this idea.

I just quit yesterday with nothing else lined up. Gonna take a WHOLE MONTH for healing (isn’t it ridiculous how ridiculous that feels?) and then figure out my next move. I wanna build an app or something.

Oh so he only has two billion? Well, we’re basically equals then. I wonder how he takes his avocado toast…

Incredibly pro trump to the point of starting The Donald style communities and posting old school cool style photos of the weirdo pedo.

Normally I welcome people with different opinions, but I truly believe that people still following Trump are absolutely in the wrong. He is a foul, broken, weird human, and his goals are to fuck up all of our lives (yes, yours too) so that he and a dozen others can have money and power. This is as clear, proven, and obvious as it is reading the history books about prior dictators, so I have zero sympathy or respect for seemingly intelligent people who still support him.

So uh, welcome I guess, you do you, but I don’t think we are gonna be your crowd.

I’m indifferent, especially if I get money to distract me from it.

That’s why passive was in quotes.

He’d probably have empathy pains for any future subscribers.

This is absolutely the kind of crime I want to commit when I’m 83.
