I bought nvidia in 2 different batches somewhere around 2016-2017. Put in 4000 twice. Sold for 100k in 2022. That same amount would be worth over a half a mil now. 1000 worth bought in 2013 would have been 600k today. I bought my first nvidia gpu in 2008. It's just crazy to think about. Bitcoin was never worth anything so I dont think about it that much. Never bought it. But nvidia was always a company I believed in. It's just hindsight but still crazy to think about.

I know this is very common, but:
>Work Monday-Friday
>Spend all week eager for the weekend
>Weekend finally arrives
>A portion of the weekend is spent running errands or doing household chores
>The rest of the weekend flies by
>tfw it's already Sunday night and I have work again in the morning
I hate this. I feel like Friday was just yesterday, Saturday didn't happen, and Sunday was only half a day. I hate how much of a person's time is consumed by work. It's not even just the work itself, but also the time used up with commute there and back plus the preparations (showers, packing lunches, washing clothes, etc.) for the work week, and of course the stress and anxiety of knowing I have to go and can't just flake out of it whenever because I have bills and other expenses. I feel like I never really get any actual rest. I know that this was all done by design to contain and oppress the masses, and I hate that I'm too stupid and unmotivated to achieve self-employment or true financial freedom, which leaves me stuck in this dystopian loop and I'm all the more miserable for it.

>>302440>A portion of the weekend is spent running errands or doing household choresI have a trick for washing machines. Nearly every washing machine has a times. You can load your machine in the evening and the machine will do its loudest part - tumbling - somewhere after the time your alarm strikes and you wake up.
Besides, you can get a cheap 15$ foldable dryer to hang your washed stuff to dry indoors. This will reduce your "chores" weekend time expences.

besides, you can get a disgustingly cheap Blueetooth/MP3 player thingy (under 10$), wrap it into a iplock/an A4 file for water protection and blast some music while you shower.

It literally tells them what they need to do and they still insist on asking the cashiers for help as if it's too much. One of the customers I've encountered, an overweight black succubus in a mobility scooter, literally broke down crying because the screen told her to tap to begin checking out. God, I fucking hate Americans.

I realized what makes so many jobs so shit.
In my experience a lot of the inefficiencies and promotion of those banal petty types, who quickly surround themselves with ballbag sycophants, does help maintain a monopoly or duopoly in an area, paradoxically.
If competitive pressures are off, poisoning the industry for anyone with ambition and common sense makes them fuck off to where the pasture is greener in other industries. If these companies did operate lean and efficient and have a healthy workflow, eventually someone good with enough experience will have everything he needs to strike it out on his own, and take a lot of now-good staff with him. People only really go out on their own when they have a taste of the industry, in many niches that can be prevented by poisoning the environment.
If the environment is completely toxic and the staff turnover is constant, people do struggle to break in. Plus the feudal-minded managers who have a cluster of sycophants will never jump ship as long as they get their egos satisfied and be the king of their domain. The toxicity does come with stability and loyalty, in a roundabout way. It's similar to how autocratic societies achieve stability.

Another day at work, another day of witnessing the retardation of the general public. Case in point: A dumbass takes a plastic cup and asks to buy $1 worth of gas. He ends up putting the gas in the cup, then digs into the trash and pulls out a bottle, and puts the gas that he had in the cup into the water bottle he got out of the trash. Then he tried to fill his gas tank with the bottle of gas he got earlier, and I never saw him again. Hopefully it stays that way.
