If everything fell apart...
« on: Thu, 17 September 2015, 08:37:59 »
Say a major life event happens that royally f&@#*s you over (losing your job, divorce, committed a felony etc.), what would you do?

Me, I would move to New York City and make pizza.  :)

Why's it gotta fall apart to make moves? Three years ago I moved 900 miles west from my hometown to work my dream job. My second time in Ohio was to shop for an apartment.

But actually, my backup plan is the same as the OP. If I can no longer persue my current career or my side jobs, I'd move to NYC and open a pizzeria. Truly a failsafe plan :P.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

I keep waiting for things to fall apart. Work especially, it's been like roller coaster for some time now.

I've put a lot of thought into it but I still have no idea what else to do.

They say the average job only lasts ~2yrs now, I've been here for almost 6.  :-\

Life definitely doesn't have to fall apart to make moves, I would just make different moves otherwise.

Also, time for me and CPT to make pizza together. Geekhack meetups at the pizza joint!

Ha, I've already told you guys...it doesn't matter WHO sits in the White House. That person is just a figurehead, anyway. Trump is just as good/bad as the next.

It doesn't matter that Trump wouldn't be able to do anything, the important part is that he'd be the face of American diplomacy, and have you ever heard him talk about other countries? Everyone would be nuking us in no time!

Not likely. But the coming collapse of 2018 has less influence by the US, anyway. Global market failures and widespread currency inflation are going to combine to make for some really bad news for everyone.

Man, I take this totally different.  My life is chaotic causality.  I don't fight entropy, I just go where it takes me.  If tomorrow it all fell apart, it would be no different than the day before.  A diverse skill set, no roots planted, and an abused liver can get you through anything.
