  • I have similar wants. Just a standard house, maybe some land for a bit of gardening, and a workshop to make things. Donate to certain charities and open source projects etc. Travel a bit.

    But they’re one little thing I’d do that would definitely show I’m rich:

    I’d travel to local forest parks around the world, and bury actual treasure. Like a 3 gold bars. In in actual chest too. Maybe every now and then I’d do smaller treasures that are like a fancy sword or platinum ring or just medieval armor. Idk.

    Then I’d go to the local university and set up riddles they’ll lead to a part of a hidden map, with the map being hidden both throughout the university and maybe online too, depending.

    But it wouldn’t be a straightforward map. It would be a map to a random house built near the park. And somewhere in that house, would be the final map leading to the treasure.

    Why? Because the world could use a little bit of magic adventuring I think. That’s something that just doesn’t really exist anymore in the modern era, in a way. I feel like finding treasure and going on a treasure hunt is something a lot of people as a kid probably thought would be fun.

    And second, university students can always use some money, so they get first dibs too.

    Likewise when I die any children I have would have to go to a mini mansion and solve the puzzles in order to get my last will that grants the finder my money.



  • The bigger picture is always missing in these posts.

    And that is that everything that’s happening has already happened in Russia. It’s how Putin got power - through the courts.

    All a Republican president has to do now is make an official act that they are president for life, the supreme court agrees, and that’s that.

    The second is that while only the president has immunity (meaning anyone killing people under their official order would still be illegal), the president can also pardon people. So it’s a loophole - anyone can kill under their official order, and then the president can just pardon them.




  • Well, my parents grew up in poverty. And based off what they’ve said, 380$ net worth sounds too high, unless it’s an average. At least back then (even adjusted for inflation btw).

    People really don’t understand how poor true poverty is, and why things from poor countries are so much cheaper. I have literally seen families that subsisted off of dump sites.

    Also, children usually have 0 net worth for obvious reasons, so if we include children that stat is ready to reach. Especially since children are counted in the world population after all.


  • I mean ageing technology (what the person might look like after 5 years etc) was also created for human trafficking victims, and I haven’t seen it really being talked about in many years now since it came out. Seems weird to base something on whether or not you’ve heard of it.

    If the family doesn’t have a recent picture of the person without makeup, then yeah, this would be useful, since people can look pretty different without makeup. I’m the only one who has recent pictures of my wife without makeup for example, her friends and parents only have pictures of her with makeup since she normally does some when meeting them. She’s also half Chinese, so depending on how she decides to do her make up, can look way more asian or barely asian at all. If I didn’t have those pictures and something happened, the make-up pictures wouldn’t be as useful in searching for her.



  • I did misunderstand about the association with the caffeine and your headache. But if anything, the new information provided, along with what you mentioned about water, narrows it down further to you potentially having some form of hypotension.

    You very are likely dehydrated btw. Milk and juice are not hydrating - milk is only 88% water, but the sugars and fats included in the milk reduce how much of that water your body absorbs. Likewise many juices have so much sugar that it also lowers how much water to get from it in your gut, and if your blood glucose is already high it hydrates you even less. Speaking of, have you ever done a glucose test at a doctors? Either way, water would be your best option.

    Coffee is a natural diuretic, meaning it dehydrates you faster as well. Dehydration causes hypotension as well (although in rare cases, such as me and my mother, you can experience paradoxical effects, just to keep in mind).

    High blood glucose levels and unstable blood pressure are not commonly obvious medical conditions, which is why they’re annoying.

    If you have doubts about your ADHD, speak with your doctor (not a psychologist) about it. You can also do some comparative tests on yourself (when on vacation of some sort) of before and after. Take such a test while on your medication, and then wait 3 weeks (to make sure your body is fully clear of the medication) then do such a test again (not the exact same test though). If there’s significant deviation, then you should probably keep taking the medication, but if there isn’t, then maybe talk with a doctor about it.

    It’s important you don’t quit a medication such as Ritalin at once though, so the titration schedule should look something like this:

    Day 1✓ 2× 3✓ 4× 5✓ 6× 7× 8✓ 9× 10× 11✓ 12+ stop

    Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, just someone with a lot of medical knowledge from self study from medical and pharmacological text books due to my and family members medical conditions. I recommend to a doctor first and foremost, but used to live in the USA, where going as needed is not financially viable for many, even with great insurance.

    Lastly, if you shop around, you might find a good Omron device even cheaper on sale, if you’re on a budget. Even they’re basic models are well enough, since they are actually medically calibrated on good data sets.
