It doesn’t outweigh the sheer quantity of step income though, even if you’re hyperventilating.

You still step far more during running or walking than breathing, though. Steps is still passive, and allows you to actually get in shape and front-load your money. Invest your gains and that covers the passive income aspect.

This is the absolute easiest question. If you ever get this, the answer is steps. Get your 10k steps a day, or even 20k if you’re feeling frisky. Get in shape, buy some nice walking or running shoes, and invest the massive difference between walking and what breathing would get you.

Once you reach a good level invested, you’re functionally able to retire and never even take another step. Your investments will cover everything.

Anyone who says breath doesn’t realize the sheer difference steps can make.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yes, but you wouldn’t make nearly as much money. You have to breathe 5 times per step to break even.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You do the same with steps, just far faster. You can make 2.5k or so per day with steps, easily. If you get into running? Far more, maybe 5k per day. Even after taxes, you’ll be a millionaire or close to it within 1 year, which you can’t do with breaths.

Choosing breaths is like choosing 50 bucks a month forever instead of 1 mil up front. You get your money slower and you can make far more with the 1 mil just by investing, even if you wait forever. The 50 dollars a month literally can never catch up outside of insane market crashes, and even then you’re only up 50 a month.

You can do all of that with steps even if you moderately touch grass. It’s extremely passive, and you can leverage it to get in shape and make a ton of money in the short term if you need it, and can use it to invest if you want.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Still more by casually walking.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yes, far less than steps would ever make you. Then you can invest the difference and make money while you sleep either way.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You can donate far more with steps, though. That can be your new motivation.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You’re not taking 5+ breaths per step even when running, and as your cardiovascular health increases you take fewer breaths.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You can do that with steps, just invest the massive difference in money you can make with steps.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

If you can’t take advantage of the huge increase in income steps have over breaths, then that’s more of a budgeting problem. It’s incredibly easy to pay off your home and have a huge chunk of emergency funds available even if you get injured if you average 5000+ dollars a day with steps.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You would have to be bedridden, the average step count for most people outweighs their breaths.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

That’s planning for absurd edge cases, and if you’re truly concerned about that, you can buy a treadmill.

That’s like saying you could get shot in the head randomly if you pick breathing, because you look odd hyperventilating to make cash.

Become a millionaire with 1 year of getting in shape, then you can be free of obligations and stay in shape. Steps wins.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

It’s actually several times more money, especially if you actively pursue it.

Usually, the devs aren’t thinking that, management is and that’s what’s shoveled downward. Still people at tencent, but I imagine it’s not everyone ludicrously evil.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Nothing directly. I’ve seen my backlog of 70 or so games, and now my goal for 2024 is to just let go of the feeling that I need to complete games, and just play what I want, when I feel like it.

That being said, I’m trying out Cassette Beasts! Pretty fun so far, though I’m only around an hour in.

Also not a patient gamer for this one, but it’s free so I hope it counts: Fallout: London is a release I’m looking forward to.

This is ahistorical. Leftists have always fought fascists, when revealed to be fascists. Typically it’s the liberals and social democrats who side with fascists, like what happened in Nazi Germany.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Anarcho-Communism is one of the most popular forms of Anarchism, and Anarchism has rules, just not authority or hierarchy. It’s a horizontal organizational structure, not the absence of all structure.

Caesar’s Legion is dangerously popular in certain crowds

Cowbee, 4 months ago

The issue is that leftism is incompatible with fascism. Not that leftists can’t be bad or evil, they can, but leftism itself cannot coexist with fascism. However, liberalism leads to fascism eventually, and social Democracy is still fundamentally a Capitalist ideology, and is just as easy to corrupt into fascism as shown in Nazi Germany.

If it’s been more than a few years, you’ll be blown away by recent mods. There’s been a bit of a modding Renaissance.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Steam Deck definitely has a learning curve to mod with, but I’ve done it. You can either go the Wabajack route and transfer the list from a Windows PC, or manually mod it using Linux natively on the deck. Viva New Vegas is fantastic, if you want a TTW list the Wasteland Survival Guide is fantastic too. You can add the Mojave Express Guide on tip of VNV if you want more content.

They’re transphobic, this is a conservative account. Feel free to report.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Being a good listener means this happens frequently, haha.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Capitalism is both disgusting and predictable.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yep, so we should abolish Capitalism.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Scalping is wrong, and scalping houses is worse.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

That’s Capitalism, buddy. I’m advocating for Worker Ownership of their own labor, and collective ownership of the Means of Production. Personal Property is fine, but the end goal of Capitalism is everyone renting everything from a few Capitalists.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yes, but luxuries are not as bad as necessities.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Do you clean your room?

On a more serious note, Communism is a future ideal, money would still exist until its possible to abolish. There are tons of writings on this that can help elaborate, why do you believe work must be done with monetary inventive?

Edit: oh yea, you’re the landlord everyone called out a while ago, and rather than making any points to defend yourself you just pretended you were superior. Lmao

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Just make workers share ownership and unable to have unequal shares. Ez.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You like the feeling of order, so you work. Seems like a non-monetary motivation for me.

You also think worker ownership of the Means of Production is Capitalism if it has profit, so I think you’d do better by actually researching what you talk about first.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yes, and you aren’t paid to do so. Sounds like non-monetary motivation.

Why do you think Socialism is Capitalism?

Cowbee, 4 months ago

You’re a landlord, lmao.

But either way, even if you’re fully self-interested, you still work for non-monetary reasons.

Again, please address why you think Socialism is actually Capitalism, we can’t even begin to discuss a future system like Communism if you can’t even understand Socialism.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Right here: “I was specifically asking for communes and you show me coops that still have capitalist gain in mind. Delusional”

Worker co-operatives are Socialist structures, what separates Capitalism from Socialism is the distribution of ownership of the Means of Production.

Again, we cannot even hope to discuss a post-Socialist system like Communism without first understanding Socialism, and we can’t discuss Socialism without understanding Capitalism. You don’t even understand Capitalism if you equate it to profit.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Equal, collective ownership via workers is Socialist. You’re pulling the superiority card because it’s your way of avoiding actually having to logically comprehend Socialism, which is why anything you say can be tossed in the trash regarding leftism, or even Capitalism.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

What’s the point of you trying to engage with my comment first, then running away without actually saying anything?

Cowbee, 4 months ago

What is Capitalism? What is Socialism?

Think about those questions before you mouth off next time, it’ll go better for you.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Depends on the day. Big pant days slay, big Jakt days serve.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Agreed. Symbols are incredibly important for helping people feel safe and welcome, if there are a bunch of antifascist and pro-leftist symbols, I feel way safer than if there were confederate flags, Nazi symbols, or MAGA symbols.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

To be fair, subsidies aren’t really Socialism. Socialism is more about who owns the Means of Production than it is who gets the benefits from the state.

If people are calling you racist, bigoted, sexist, and transphobic simply because you identify as a conservative, you should probably reevaluate your positions and if you truly identify with conservative values.

Nobody is aborting 9 month old fetuses outside of exceptional medical emergencies, and denying women bodily autonomy is incredibly authoritarian.

Nobody thinks there shouldn’t be any rules about crossing borders, even the fringe people that are for open borders. What people disagree with is intentionally drowning people via razorwire as a deterrent, and instead want an easier path to citizenship.

Everyone thinks paying debts is a good thing, but may disagree on what constitutes a faulty, predatory system of debt that ought to be abolished in the first place, like medical debt and school debt.

The thoughts you listed alone will not get you banned from social media (outside of specific communities for specific purposes), what would is how you express those views, which can in fact be sexist, bigoted, or perhaps even racist or transphobic.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Yes, absolutely correct, thanks for expanding.

Housing, food, and transportation should indeed be decommodified. Vacation is a luxury, and doesn’t need to be free at point of service.

People work because they still need to. Do you get paid to clean your room? Even then, you’d still get paid, but certain things should not be extorted by profit.

Cowbee, 4 months ago

Religion should be opposed via education, culture, and general science, not via the state. Religion is conservative, but there are good religious people.
