Hah. Well, maybe there isn't a real and viable path for me into working on a ship right now from my zero starting point. At least from what I'm reading on information sites.
I think therefore I need to focus on the cleaner/room attendant option at local hotels. I haven't the faintest idea what the best approach to this is, but I'm just going to get out to the areas where I can approach the receptionists and get in contact with the managers to do this.
I'm not exactly well situated to access these locations, and under-equipped financially to do so, but eliminating all my excess possessions that are not either useful or relevant to my current situation is going to help. I should be able to stretch my runway out another 2 weeks or so if I am careful.
After spending nearly 40% above what I really should have had to, to acquire the staple food of my next 4 days, I'm also going to attend to getting this supply line shored up and a better priced source settled. I wish I could have fresh milk but UHT is much easier to get my hands on and I can transport it by foot easily up to 12km so I'm going to be doing it this way before my current stock runs out.
1 out of 7 oranges I bought went fungi in the fridge also, in only 3 days, which is pretty annoying, probably I need to think in terms of securing only 2 days ahead on this supply item.
It may seem trivial to people with relatively robust health and tolerance of the endless poisons of the conventional food supply for me to focus on this, but my performance and capabilities are dramatically diminished by the wrong food, and those requirements are very strict. I am feeling incredibly better on my current regime, and I'm going to defend it like my life is at stake, because it is.
I kinda wish I could avoid needing to step outside the bitcoin world to get an income going, but my past performance is an anchor around my neck and the psychosis I was suffering as a result of my addictions to the common vices, alcohol, caffeine and nicotine, were dragging me down and keeping me constantly in a state of borderline disaster.
I'm done with that now. Every time I see advertising for alcohol and caffeine I want to spit at it. These are tools being used to enslave you all. Even if it is diminishing you only 2% you wouldn't believe how much you can do when you are trimmed down to such a margin versus not having that extra capacity available.

Having the cold hard reality visible at last has been a relief. Anyone who prefers to live in delusion doesn't want their life to get better. My life must get better. Just, must.
I'm taking the razor to everything, all the things are being cleaned up. Cleaning up my accounts and apps on my phone, changing up my passwords again to be robust, new neobank service hooked up and ready to receive fiats from robosats or other when I get enough sats to do this.
I'm looking at all my electronics now too. Since I am obviously going to need to relocate, as much as possible I'm trimming out the fat and leaving behind only the bone, sinew and muscle. Everything that can be converted into cash must be converted into cash, ASAP.
I am also making a career move. Right now I have the option to work on bitcoin related code, but that's really only possible if I have a surplus of value stored up. Currently I'm skin and bone. I'm an extremely thorough and efficient cleaner, and I can fix all the computer problems. And since I met a mysterious stranger at the age of 17 at the city park in front of the town library who told me about his adventures on the high seas, I have had in the back of my mind that maybe some day I would do this.
So I'm going hammer and tongs at finding work on cruise ships and cargo ships, whatever I can get, that lets me get on the open seas and doing the kind of work I am masterful at performing, and being valued by someone.
I have somewhat odd dietary requirements, but I don't think that will be a problem. Milk, chocolate and citrus fruit are my preference. As a whole it is a complete diet and is providing me with ample energy and with all the vices gone, no alcohol, no sugars, no caffeine, no cannabis, no amphetamines, I am going from strength to strength physically and mentally. My vision, damaged by artificial sweetener induced neurotoxins (uncertain of the mechanism but certain of the causes), is starting to recover, after 5 days I'm recovering healthy sleep patterns.
I am also in a novel new mental frame thanks to The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya, and its thesis about Atlantis, the past, and the near future, I now have a certainty about the existence of who is referred to as Jesus, and his Father, and what is coming down the pipe in the next 5 years.
I am prepared for this, and I am being guided towards the right place for me to be positioned and ready for what is coming.
To many nostriches, the expression Pura Vida is a popular idiom, but I'm living it. There is nothing better and it provides a shield for you from the toxic evil shit of this world that will give you hope and put fuel in your tank and calm your rage at the injustice of the world.
Let the dead bury the dead.
I'm getting ready for a new life, the life that I have always wanted, and the life that I am destined for.
I hope to see some of you there.
I didn't plan very well this month. I've got maybe a week's worth of food sorted out and I need more money to come in.
I made a stupid assumption that because I had been laying the groundwork for a friend to relocate, that I had a month of runway to get moving, but now I see I have no runway at all.
Not sure what to do. It's not a trivial part of my 70 euro or so remaining to go into town (about 6 for there and back) so I probably should try to make applications from here over the internet.
Any help will of course be most gratefully accepted.
I had a looming debanking problem, with my current and only bank in limbo with a proof of address problem that I can't find a solution to before I have need of the banking services.
The solution came in finding another eastern european neobank that accepted my application and now I have a payment card connected to my google wallet.
Every time banks close doors to you, they create opportunities for other banks to get your business.
Banks keep on making these mistakes, in the context of the internet, it is a collossally stupid mistake to make. It happened that it was a european based bank, but most likely I could have got another account from outside europe that is connected to SWIFT and thus resolved my issue of converting sats to fiat.
Banks are screwed, in the end, just like the three way gun situation in Reservoir Dogs. Most likely whoever tries to shoot first will end up dead.
Day 5 no caffeine.
I'm fairly awake, but I feel like I need a little more of a kick. So I'm gonna try sitting in the morning sun.
hide title bar - Linux Mint Forums
I'm utterly done with Gnome. Been running 44, and just a few days ago on the same version, I was able to, albeit by running wayland, hide the titlebars on my windows.
The offense of forcing everyone to tolerate their poop brown new dark theme with Apple inspired, insipid, alternately dark and light windows needs to end now, ok, just stop it. Also, fuck gnome.
Did :I mention, fuck gnome? Because fuck gnome.
