    I volunteer at a horse stables because it’s good for my mental health. I started getting lessons at a different stables and offered volunteering services if they need it and the owner got real confused because she thought I was asking for a job. Like no, I like farm work and want to help horse farmers for free because it makes me happy

      I thought the formula was to be the child of a well-to-do family, start a tech company in a garage, then scam your way up to become a billionaire.

    Hey folks, I’ve been asleep for the past few hundred years. Can’t wait to see how the profit motive has universally overlapped with providing the most utility to society! Such a neat little hack.

    Uh oh. Uhhhh… Oh no…
