Hit up REI during one of the garage sales

Voraciously reading gURL.com. Got me into zine and riot grrl culture, and helped me actually learn about my body and sex in a positive way despite growing up in a conservative home.

I think I'd go paleolithic. Pre-agricultural, on the move finding food, being in nature. It'd be dicey obviously but like whatever, if you die you die. I feel like the physical activity, adrenaline, living in community, being in nature... Would just be nice. I feel like I probably wouldn't be depressed anymore eventually. Like who would have the time?

Also damn can you imagine seeing like 4000 lb armadillos and shit? Living among a bunch of now-extinct megafauna seems like it would be both thrilling and terrifying. Honestly I'd probably die by trying to Disney princess with a twelve foot tall deer or some shit.

Think big, how about 28 hours so you're off work for the weekend instead of just the day?

I'll reiterate what other folks have said about it not being a huge moneymaker. I sell my art and basically make enough to cover my art supplies to do the things I love (plus the validation of people wanting my art lol). But if you're going into it even looking to make beer money you might be disappointed. Especially because while you figure out what the market is looking for you'll probably spend a good deal of money with no returns.

Make what you want to make, sell it if you want to and people want to buy it.

I will say, online selling is incredibly oversaturated and hard to do. Sites like Etsy are now filled with instant garbage drop shipped from Aliexpress so it can be hard for people to actually find your stuff. Making your own website costs money and may require skills you don't have (but could learn!) Look for local art markets in your area instead. People come to those things looking to shop, specifically looking to shop local. It might be harder if you're not in an urban area, but where I live is filled with them.

Why buy something when you could spent dozens of hours and * checks watch * wait, also spend way more money??

Not only that, but when you swipe on the browser to go back, it's a brand new window that has closed the previous one so it can't be early recessed by someone taking a phone and pressing the back button.

May I also recommend adding deep breathing? A 30 second ad gives you time for two or three deep inhale-hold-exhales.

Man though the Black Mirror nightmare scenario of devices being able to tell when you close your eyes or look away and the ad stops until you're looking. Let's hope we don't get there in real life any time soon.

Truly when I have to hard restart Chrome or my laptop, it's a blessing to lose the hoarded tabs and start fresh. Why am I like this.

Something like the multireddit function then, maybe? Custom feeds where you can add any communities that you want (doesn't even have to be the same topic).

I don't think it makes sense to combine the feeds at a federation level (which I think is what you're talking about, but correct me if I'm wrong). There may be non-topic reasons that some users would want to join/read one but not another. And who would determine whether topics were similar enough to warrant having combined feeds?

Being able to make your own personal multi-community feeds would definitely be a nice feature. That wouldn't have any issue with posting, either.
