Disheveled hair. If you have long(ish) hair and you’re going out in public, at least drag a comb through it so you don’t look like a bed-head.
This is 100% a China and US problem - nowhere else in the world would these Wankpanzers be a status symbol. What’s required is a re-education of the Nouveau Riche to make a better choice.
Yes, living well. Happy mostly. Embodying values and dreams - as much as possible since some dreams would have needed to be started years ago to be realized - like my vineyard and my orchard.

I was self employed for most of the time, and I can recommend that for those who have a pretty good work ethic. Having a goal in high school was also a key factor, since it led to a useful degree. I was also doing constant internal evaluation - like the feeling where you’re going over your desired job description for a job interview - via a journal or a self help program like “The Red Bucket Strategy”. So, in answer to how did this happen question: it was pretty methodical in using the steering gear you have to make course corrections all the time.
There’s this back story about the “LoongArch instruction system, a RISC ISA that blends ideas from MIPS and RISC-V”. The article says it is MIPS-compatible and even runs the same Linux code [Loongson’s] old MIPS-based CPUs did. Why not just use RISC-V? MIPS is licensed from the USA. I guess they have a lot of legacy people at Loongson.
A little saddened because I sold Bitcoin way too early. I wanted to get out, but if I had set the bar a little higher… Of course, if you had a crystal ball you could make a lot of money.
