They would have been in trouble without a secondary off-site backup. You have more faith than I do that other such companies would have as good of backups.

You say that, but I suspect a good bit of your financial data is stored on them. If AWS is down, that information is not accessible even by your financial institution.

Totally fair. I’m in a similar boat on family. I’m going to reach the age soon where it’s no longer a realistic option for me to change my mind on. But I’ve seen it go sideways enough not to want it and I like my current situation.

That be said, human contact is important. Even if that means working retail like Lowes or Home Depot on the weekend just to push you to interact with people. Or if you prefer, there are plenty of communities out there whether that be religion, book clubs, or even the freemason’s for that matter. I have a few family members in that. Communities that support you. It’s been rough working from home the last few years with minimal human contact.

Between Democrats and Republicans, which one has the ideology of small government? Not what they do, what is the official rhetoric? I have never in my life heard that be a Democrat position but I have certainly heard it as a Republican position.

Not that it matters, I’m sure I could find a different example if what I said doesn’t make sense unless it’s an ideology you accept as Republican.

Right… Because every single Republican position is Nazi ideology. Like… small government. Nazi’s were notoriously small government… Right? Talk about false equivalencies, have you looked in a mirror?

You know what was a Nazi position? Socialized healthcare. Does that mean Democrats are the Nazi party?

Find the best paying job you can and start investing ASAP. My biggest regret is not investing sooner. It doesn’t even need to be substantial. Anything will snowball, the amount just makes it snowball faster.

Honestly I’d skip college at this point. Even programming jobs are rare now days. Get a trade job. Something that becomes good paying like electrician or plumber. It’s hard on the body, but if you invest well, you might be able to retire before it becomes a problem.

If you want a family, don’t wait for the “right time”. There is always going to be something going on in your life and the world. If you want kids, best to have them while you have the energy to play with them. They can also serve as your reason to get out of bed and reach for more instead of a void in your life that keeps you in bed. This assumes family is important to you of course.

If you like cheese does that make you a Packers football fan? What if you also like purple? Does that make you a Vikings fan instead?

I’m confused, you say you can’t be both and also say you have to be one, so which is true for this example? Is this person a Vikings fan or Packers fan? (U.S. football analogy)

And a Democrat in hiding. They are a triple quadruple agent who votes based on their beliefs rather than a party name. It’s some crazy shit.
