Risk Management

I’ve had a few people from my old job, after they made fun of me back in February for preparing for the pandemic, ask me how I knew what was going to happen.

Well, I didn’t “know” in any conventional sense. I examined the risks, determined a spectrum of likely outcomes ordered by probability and impact, and decided to hedge, as a good trader always does. It’s just as simple as that. I don’t have a crystal ball or psychic powers. I just know how to manage risk.

Need

Ok, I’m a jerk, but I do continue to find it hilarious that the same crew who told many very lonely (mostly) men that “no one NEEDS love, sex, or human contact” is going just fucking apeshit during this long lockdown.

How’s it taste, fuckos? God I love the comedy that the universe sometimes provides. It rarely provides justice, but comedy? Yeah, it’s got that.

Own It

I’ve always kind of had this attitude, but when I got out of the army I decided to just live this way. And now when I don’t want to do something, I just don’t.

It’s such a better way to live. Don’t want to do something, fucking don’t. Quit being weak and pitiful. Own your own fucking life. Quit whining. Understand that there will be consequences, but be woman or man enough to take them.

(It helps to have money.)
