    i intentionally became an alcoholic for like 5 years, during which i was not sober for a single minute (not even to sleep)

    i had been drinking casually for half a decade before that but i made the conscious choice to attempt a slow suicide by alcohol abuse

    i was like 17 or so

    Marrying my wife after letting her plan the wedding. It alone put us $30K in debt, We were already around $40K in debt...all from her excessive spending prior to us being together.

    Talk about stupid...

    But it turned better than I could have ever expected. We're mostly debt free now, and the only reason we have any debt is because I don't want to pay it off immediately since it's a 0% interest loan and the money is contributring to earning interest. So, I consider myself extremely fortunate for how it all turned out.

    I let the right-wing MAGA chuds in my biological family come to my wedding.

    I did do a smart thing within that stupid decision: it was an alcohol-free wedding. That made them fuck off after a short while to go get drunk somewhere else and everyone I actually cared about and loved stayed all day and well into the sunset.

    I still maintain my boycott of Amazon over the one-click patent.

    It's a hassle to buy stuff online without using Amazon. The patent expired years ago. Probably no other person is still boycotting them over it (not that it was ever an effective boycott in the first place). But I just can't bring myself to buy from them.

    Buying speed from a dealer who was advertising on Craigslist. It all went fine, but that doesn't stop it from being a bad idea.
