Nope, my bachelor's was in person eons ago in 2006-2011 in electrical engineering, I applied for the MS in 2017 after I had a mental breakdown when my boss said something along the lines of me not being smart enough for a promotion so I went into the GT program and aced it then got a job offer as a senior engineer. I proved to myself I am good enough so I don't give a shit what other people say anymore so I am gonna just do what I wanna do now and stop letting the haters and scared pussy bitches throw shade.
Get out there and go get it. I was always non neurotypical and working in the office always was a struggle from the work scheduling to having to kinda always control myself to act professional and dress professional etc.. This always led to me feeling like there was something wrong with me because it never felt easy and never was easy to do what seemed to come naturally for some people to just march in and out of the office everyday, same time, attend meetings everyday and just talk nonsense and get nothing done. I decided a while ago I didn't want to keep doing this for another 10 years because it was miserable, walking into the same place to pretend and be someone else and then having a few hours to be myself and sleep and do it again. A lot of extra energy to not cuss people out too for making the same mistakes.
Over the last year I have really lost it, and started snapping at people because I don't care about being fired but they didn't fire me, but they weren't happy either so work became this really toxic place where people don't communicate or do this petty hate shit of ignoring emails, not attending meetings, or scheduling meetings last min right at the crack of dawn knowing I'm not a morning person 
I'm worried because I won't have income but I got savings I can use, and that's really what it is there for. I realize I was just working and staying home all day hoarding money and being miserable because I had no energy to do what I wanted after spending it all dealing with corporate culture.
I'm not gonna say I recommend what I am doing of quitting work but if you're like me, and willing to live in a 3rd world country based on which currency rate is popping then maybe, but it's a nomadic life and lonely when you are in a country where you don't know anyone, too much for some people but I accept it because I really love what I am getting back in terms of feelings of freedom.
I grinded for 12 years and got savings and corporate jobs are fucking good in terms of pay and benefits so I don't discourage yall from working them. You do have to deal with a lot of stress and shit but it overall makes you into a more resilient and mature person, but once you obtain that skillet I don't see any benefit to continuing to expose yourself to that shit stress like corporate lifers who are too scared to quit their comfy life.
But no number will ever feel 'good enough' which is why I can see everyone working so long.. But I have better retirement right now quitting than most people do in their 60s so that helps put my mind at ease that I can afford to take the time off and not succumb to an anxiety attack.

that doctor doobie guy is too full of himself imo
Yes it's the result of taking mushrooms/weed gummies and thinking your thoughts are super deep
You perceive it in his entire affect, speaking slowly, making hour or two hour-long videos
He said he stopped taking weed gummies so hopefully the effect will go away in a few months. But yea he was taking them daily for 7 months - basically living a permanently fried life
Hello gents. I am now in Taiwan, heading to Korea then Thailand for a wedding then I'll be back in Malaysia.
Turns out there is a gold card visa for remote workers in Taiwan. I applied for a 2 year card and it looks like I might receive it while I somehow ended up on the Malaysian immigration depts shit list, so it looks like I might be living in Taiwan (?). Taiwan is much worse than Malaysia in terms of cost but still lower than California however at this point it's nearly on par with cities like Tuson AZ which I might prefer living.
I applied for the Thailand visa too so let's see if I get that. If I manage to settle in Asia then come hit me up boys. But fuck it ain't easy, being a nomad traveling around is one thing but actually trying to settle in one of these countries is like pulling out teeth.
Few pics, Taipei Main Station, basically a meeting point for all the trains and a mega mall

I started day trading oil futures again and having the full mental capacity to deal with the stress I am performing well. In the past I was making impulsive greedy trades from being tired with work but right now the ship is running... Smooth ish lol. Started with 10k earlier this month in Oct and had a hiccup where I lost 8k but now I am back and up to 18k on the portfolio. If the trading pans out well I might just scrap the plans to develop the video game although the plan was to try to make a video game that simulates the stress/excitement from day trading because the high you get is better than gambling since it feels like it's not just dumb luck. If I do develop the game of course I will invite all of you guys to come play the demo and get free early access

Come on up to Kyushu Japan.
Interesting. What city do you recommend? I might check it out. I don't speak a lick of Japanese tho so it would be hard to stay there long term besides a visit.
With that said, it would be fun if there's an area you know with a lot of expats that speak English, but my time in Da Nang has made me also wary of socializing with expats because a lot of them are these spiritual white people who I honestly don't vibe with at all because they're really poor and ■■■■■■■■■ but also seem to have this weird behavior I can only label as a superiority complex.
If you're serious ill look into visiting early next year.

That's correct everybody I know who moved to asia permanently posts on social media as if they are bold and innovative and doing incredible things with their lives but actually left the west because they were no longer welcome due to widespread awareness of their sexual assault allegations and generally bad character
It's true especially in the big cities that a lot of expats in asian countries are like that. But much less so in Japan I think. Japan is a wealthy country and those types like to choose countries where their modest savings becomes a fortune to attract women and live easy.

I live in the middle of nowhere and wouldn't want anyone wasting their money to visit here really. The major city closest to me, Fukuoka, is a pretty cool place to travel to though. The foreigners in Fukuoka are more from Korea, China, Vietnam, etc. instead of the west.
There are a lot of western expats in the big cities like Tokyo and Osaka. They aren't the spiritual weirdo type usually I think. They're usually anime nerds or frat boy types.
I lived in Tokyo for a year, and it was cool but I really prefer the more remote area I live in now as a place to live. People are just more ordinary and down to earth here.
