I thought that for a long time of my life. Turns out, all of my childhood my feelings, my likes and my dislikes were all invalidated constantly by everyone around me. Which lead me to have no idea who I was or what I wanted.
Not saying that's the same case for you but, might be time to do some inner work.
Non tech, I currently work in municipal water but previous to that was municipal sewer.
I also saw in this thread I'm not the only woman working on a racecar! Hell yeah
That's a 10/10 quote
This made it so big people outside of Lemmy were talking about it. I overheard some co-workers talking about it and I was like you're on Lemmy?? And they were confused.
I probably wouldn't quit my job because I like it. I probably wouldn't even tell many people I had that much money. My only debt is my mortgage so that would be gone. I'd probably buy a better house with an actual yard. Sell this house to my roommate for dirt cheap. (There's no way he'd just take it)
Probably do some lying that my brother won some kind of raffle and give him a bunch of racecar parts. Shit maybe even sponsor a race team or two, gotta get the young kids back in the sport as all the old guys retire.
I'd probably buy some land in another area, give myself a vacation house. But this wouldn't be immediate. Probably get a new car, mines pretty old. Build a greenhouse on my new property, have way too many rescue animals. Maybe even run a small rescue.
All this is assuming I've already set myself up for retirement and I'm good to go with everything else.
This post just makes me want to be friends with you lol
If you're into it, https://slrpnk net is a pretty sweet instance. Lots of ecological and other solar punk communities. It's where I set up the new NoLawns community.
Idk about niche so much as, not nearly as popular as it used to be. Circle track asphalt racing. My whole family is in on it. My grandpa did it, my dad and my uncle's did it (and are helping us) now my brother's and I are carrying the legacy. Used to be 17 people from our town showing up to the track every weekend. Now there's 2 of us crews that show up.
My brother used to be really big into his ham radio. It got smashed in his move and he never bought another one =\
If you're not stretching daily, you're gonna hate life. I'm also not stretching daily so uhhh do as I say not as I do? Lol
To your point about how all the spez lovers stayed there, I just had a disagreement with someone here. We brought up our points like adults and I agreed I missed something in the original post and that they are right. I rarely if ever got to see that on Reddit in the last few years.
Funny how this works but yet I got diagnosed as an adult THEN my brother got diagnosed haha. We do everything backwards.
