        Lol, you couldn’t do that in 1990 either. You could barely afford to pay your portion of the rent on the 2 bd apartment you split with 4 people from a part-time pizza delivery job.

        I don’t understand why everyone in the internet thinks people will understand their niche subcultures’ acronyms. US military people are the worst culprits.

      As someone that does BJJ, I wonder how sustainable this is. It’s not particularly great on the body, so the idea of training when you feel like it, and then taking time off to rest through work sounds nice in theory, but the reality is that unless you’ve got incredible genetics or are just starting out in that white belt beginner phase, you’re going to just end up hurt.

      Don’t get me wrong, I see it all the time, but it’s not sustainable in the time it takes to get good. Ultimately you just end up as that poor twenty-something blue belt with the knees and hips of a fifty-something, still getting smeshed by higher belts.

      I knew a guy who loved to travel. He would work for 1 year abroad teaching English, and then live for about 5 years off his earnings, while traveling the world. He managed about 12 years abroad before getting killed in a motorcycle accident in SE Asia.
