No, not all things.

However, we’re - in this post - operating on the premise of immortality.

There are less and less “free” things to do as the days pass.

Something something capitalism, something something monetization.

Not entirely relevant to the hypothetical, but as LPT - it falls a little flat.

People optimize to make their life easier, less chaotic, or stressful.

I’m not gonna take an hour detour for the views and risk losing my job. I need that. To live. Of course, immortality solves that - but that falls outside of the “Life” part of the Life Pro Tip.

Maybe my perception is warped however. ADHD and the requirement for constant novelty can be draining. I freely admit I don’t have the healthiest views on everything, and what works for others may not work for me.

I’m a gamer. And I can LOVE a game. For a while. As I get older, it seems to take less and less time for the honeymoon effect to wear off. But hey, that could be the bipolar disorder clouding perspective as well.

So focus on my mental health? See a therapist, get different meds? Yeah, not in America. Not easily, and not cheaply… oh wait, back to money.

Easier said than done.

Seeking daily novelty would get expensive quickly.

That being said, if I were immortal I’d probably just sock away funds into a low risk investment vehicle and do a variety of drugs to keep me comatose until my investments made life easier.

If you can’t die, you don’t need a lot of fentanyl to keep you under, and from what I gather it can be had relatively cheaply - though I’ve never looked into it much. I realize from my brushes with opiates that were legitimately prescribed and mostly taken as directed (I’m sorry, if I’m in enough pain to warrant them, I’m popping two of em and going to lay down for a nap, then taking as directed) and I like them waaay too much to think of doing it for fun - I would ruin my life, and fast.

I remember a friend’s first child’s birthday.

Me and the mom killed a pony keg because no one else had the balls too.

I’m about that friend’s age now… man, she went hard. Gonna miss her. I couldn’t keep up now.

Edit: She’s alive and well, married with a gaggle of kids, we grew apart. Just miss those late summer nights where the only place we had to be was a shit retail job, and we could get stoned for that.

I don’t disagree. My last job was using winget to update some things. I raised the concept of trusting otherwise unknown updates, but I was pushed aside for the quick utility.

I’m only a student of cybersecurity, but I harshly judge my former “security expert” on far more than that.

Like fuck, the help desk has to install every patch, to every machine, through a spreadsheet?

No, deploy that shit from a server. Fuck.

In a way, I’m glad I left. In another way, I would really like a pay check again… and I moved to a well, tech illiterate state. Fuck me.

I like that you brought this up.

Dogs are omnivores with sensitive stomachs. Kinda like me, and a host of other people on this planet.

Cats are obligate carnivores. They also have sensitive stomachs. This is how I prefer to eat, but I do in fact needs to eat more fruits and veggies.

Please don’t I barely understand subnetting as it is.

I’m sorry, I missed this. Reputable link please?

I don’t need more reasons to boycott Ubi, but more gas for the fire.

I was the SME over POS terminals in a past job.

Owners are often the biggest morons at the location.

Before that, I used the same basic software package at Subway because the owner couldn’t be bothered, and the manager, great lady, was not technically apt.
