FELLOW AMPHIBIANS! It's okay to feel grouchy about this never-ending, slow-motion horror show. We're all in this together. Frogs, be extra cozy with each other in the comments this week! Can you feel it? Something is just around the corner. It's about to get WEIRD!

It’d be a little easier if I had any real group of friends, a partner, and could find a job that I could fit in well and not suck out my soul.
Looks like it’s just Ubering and video editing for me
Learn a trade. Plumbers who work for themselves make a ton of money. Any trade where you accomplish something with your hands will give you satisfaction.
If you have any hobbies, look for clubs in your area. I have friends through genealogy and history. Gun clubs and hunting clubs would almost guarantee you some friends who know what's really going on. Almost everyone I know is aware that Epstein didn't kill himself. I have a cousin who is super rich, and he complained about how much the diesel cost for his yacht on FB and added "FJB" at the end of his post.
If you're good at video editing, you might consider having your own YouTube channel. There is stock footage, AI narration, and even AI writing. If you're presentable and personable, you might do the videos of yourself opining on your favorite topics. And don't forget to add merch. I sell shirts, totes, and more. Here's the site I use for creating my merch: https://www.spri.ng/ You make up a logo for your channel or any other design, and they can print it on custom items that you sell on your channel for a good markup. This gets you income even if YouTube demonetizes your channel.
Thanks for the advice, I actually already tried the trade route with becoming an electrician, and I got essentially bullied out of the work. I understand that they bust your balls in the trade, but they were downright cruel and unwelcoming to me.
As much as I advocate for gun ownership, my family has worries about me owning one as I‘ve had episodes of manic depression and suicidal ideation in the past.
I’m already in the early works of starting a YouTube channel and make money online. Because after a long decade, and job hopping over a dozen times, being lucky to hold one down for a year, let alone 6 months, I’m ready to try working for myself, because as much as I’ve tried, the traditional route just isn’t working for me.
I have been in low places over the years, but I never considered quitting, as I'm too curious about what's going to happen next. I've seen so many things happen through the decades. We may yet get flying cars. When I was born, there were zero TV stations in my area and there were zero commercial jet airliners operating. We hadn't been to space, we didn't have computers, and we didn't even have pocket calculators until I was in college. I read about computers for 7 years before there was one I could afford.
So think about everything coming down the pike that you might miss seeing. Also get involved in hobbies, go outside and do some gardening, yard work, and hiking through the neighborhood. There are groups in every town that are willing to talk and help.
With trade work, you can go out on your own and do small jobs. You'll only be in contact with homeowners and renters, not others in the trade. At least in my area, it's hard to find good tradesmen who want the small jobs. So many want to work big jobs, like all the houses in a new subdivision or government housing.
Every time I've been at my lowest, a little waiting would bring something good. A job would end, and almost immediately a better one would fall in my lap. This happened until I was able to retire at age 50. Now I can work on genealogy, music, and websites, and spend a lot of time playing online and helping where I can.
Wow that's awesome fren. May I ask what your channel will be about? Would love to hear more about anything ur willing to share
Actually, I have only set up the channel and set up the merch. I have done a single video yet. What I plan to do is short videos explaining things that younger people have problems with. For example, there are numerous music reaction channels, and many of the people don't even know the names of musical instruments or styles of music or names of the top people in various fields. A possible series might include a video showing what a trombone is, giving a short history, photos, and samples of how it sounds played by famous trombonists.
I haven't seen anything just like that yet, so perhaps it will take off when I get the time to make the videos. I'm working on a book project for someone else right now. He's rich and pays me a lot, so I can't stop till it's done.
Very good advice, all of it. It's always encouraging to me when I see people post things like this.
As for me, personally, I've decided to try out falconry. It's something I've been interested in since I was a kid. So after years of reading about it, and watching videos of other people doing it, I've taken the next step of seeking out a club near(ish) me. Hopefully I can start the clock on the apprenticeship soon and hopefully 8 or 9 years from now, I can have my own peregrine.
So, yay goals! 🙂
Edited to add: It takes at least 7 years to become a Master Falconer, which is my goal. Not how long it takes to be able to keep your own falcon. Just wanted to clarify.
Very good Advice. I am wanting to get into Dog Training. Since Covid, there have been so many dogs abandoned etc. I Have such a big yard and love animals, so I thought it would be nice to be able to train dogs to be helpers etc.
This is great news. Are you going to do force-free / clicker training? So happy, such a new way of doing things.
YESYESYES!! Clicker and Kibble :-)
Great advice
Fuckin A right.
Build something. Anything.
It's good for the spirit.
I'm always looking for help with my podcast. I lack many skills to really make it shine. Video editing is one of them. Right now I'm just working to bring people together. That would be my other advice. Seek purpose/find your role in this movie

Video editing sounds cool. I wish I could understand stuff like that
