I'd plug in a bunch of psychology books and start getting profiles on every politician in every G4 country. I'd find their dirty laundry and air it on the news. I would make being a politician such a risky job choice that the rich would do everything in their power to avoid it. Then once a crop of people with differing ideas and a willingness for good faith compromise appears I'll do everything I can to support them.

I think it's less of a "what I believe" thing for OP. It's probably something they've heard being told to them as to why their hours or job was cut.

  1. God is dead, embrace the suck.
  2. When people show you who they are, believe them.
  3. It's not who you are, but who you know that gets you ahead in the world.
  4. A small handful of loyal friends will last you longer than a 1000 social media followers.
  5. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
  6. The sooner you realize the race you're running isn't against the people in the other lanes the better off you'll be.
  7. Love is work. Disgusting, backbreaking, and tiring. But it is some of the most fulfilling and glorious work you will do.
  8. If you want to kill any joy you have in a hobby, do it for money.
  9. Charge everyone the same rate. Friend, family, or foe. Being seen as fair will gain you more respect than being seen as favorable.
  10. No man is an island. The things you do, even if you think will only affect you, will affect those around you.

I'm 38. I was born to a prostitute in the ghetto, went into the foster care system and landed in the suburbs, and have clawed for any ground I've gained.

If that doesn't hit close to home.....

Video Games? No. Social media on the other hand, yes.

We called her Biscuit, and the last time I bothered to look her up she was working for then presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

US, $75 per 3 months, 5GB data and unlimited talk and text. Mint Mobile. The Ryan Reynolds phone company.

For operating under the presumption that this isn't a monkey's paw sort of Midas touch, meaning that the person who granted it took it literally that I actually have to put my hand on something to turn it to gold, I'd probably go around picking up small rocks and things like that and handing them out to people who needed money. My wife would probably be upset that she had to feed me for the rest of my life but you know.

Cards Against Humanity.

I've always loathed the "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of one". Specialists exist for a reason. And I feel the same with my tech. I'd love to be able to go back to having an amazing digital camera, a phone that made sure it connected everywhere, and so on. I could do such things with a little elbow grease and research but I know I'm too lazy to do that.

It's not bad unless you intend to have more than one kid.
