If you do, start from season 1 episode 1. It’ll be much better that way. I think there’s only 3 seasons so it won’t take you long.
I HATED high school. Gave the bare minimum effort to pass my classes. Seriously, I probably did my homework 5x a year. Then I was told to go to a community college and I dropped out. Went back to college when I was 35 and had a 4.0 GPA. I’ve always wondered what happened between 1995 and 2015. It’s like night and day.

The most insidious fantasy I have is to go back and relive my life knowing what I know now from some earlier point in time… which is really just wishing for the ability to see the future and be a better version of yourself now without actually having to do any of the work.
It’s insidious because it drives me towards wanting to blow shit up and start over every time something doesn’t go absolutely perfectly. It’s one of those things that seems harmless but really isn’t.

I remember being absolutely insufferable.
I enjoyed high school, I suppose, but I’ve always had a strong interest in knowledge for the sake of knowledge. I get bored with acquiring knowledge for the sake of financial success.
I’ve thought about this myself, but if I’m being honest I got a couple of lucky breaks that I don’t think I would necessarily get if I ran it again. The chance that I would need them goes way down, though. So, while it would be very likely that I’d end up better off than I am, it would not be a lock.
I’m not even thinking about knowing the future. I’m just thinking if I had all the knowledge and wisdom that I now possess.
Getting a 4.0 in college is 10% intelligence and 90% giving a shit to put in effort. That’s really it.
I remember a convo I had with a friend when I was in college:
Friend: You know, I think if that if I just went to class and just spent 3 hrs a days studying/doing homework/etc. I could get an A in every class. And I’d still have plenty of time to fuck around.
Me: Yeah, I’m pretty sure that would do it. That might even be overkill.
Friend: So, why don’t you do that
Me: I don’t know. Too lazy, I guess
Friend: Me too

have you watched the butterfly effect?
Yeah I have… and I know how big the changes would be. I was kind of a late bloomer so the gap between late teenage me and 35 year old me is… well it’s so large that my life would change within a week or so of the switch happening and the old timeline would be gone. Thing is it would really struggle to start worse.
Yea because I gotta be honest. I didn’t give 100% either. But I knew the “right parts” of the chapters to study for exams. I remember in Anatomy Lab, my partner was trying really hard to get an A and she ended up with a B in Anatomy. But the Anatomy class was 3 credits and the lab was 1. She prioritized the wrong class.
i was just joking really, obviously everyone has that fantasy.

I still have no idea how I graduated from undergrad. I almost never went to class and rarely studied. Yet I somehow obtained a 2.5 gpa and a diploma.
I read “Hacker News” a couple times a day, an article was posted about Voat getting shut down, and sure enough
the true colors of tech bros come out shortly there after in the comments.
