It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.
When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.
I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.
Gotcha, sorry. I’ll hold off on posting reddit screenshots here.

I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.
I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.
The band Green Day invited a fan up on stage to play one of their songs, but he played the song Wonderwall instead as a joke.
Guitarists playing Wonderwall for people has been a meme since the 90s. Here’s more about it if you’re interested:
I nearly dropped this in c/mildlyinteresting, but I also thought it was too cool.
It’s back, especially with Gen Z, I think. Tobacco companies always seem to find a way.
You know, I just made a PieFed account and haven’t customized it yet. Maybe using an alternate timeline banner like that would be fitting.
(If PieFed has banners. I haven’t really explored all the options.)

Basically church clothes!
Full solar power is the dream! That’s awesome.
3·5 个月前Chess has taken over a significant portion of my gaming time since getting into it a couple of years ago.
It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.
I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.
Or
AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.
