Is this what we wanted?

A friend of mine just moved to New Zealand from the UK and she documented her first day in NZ on Instagram. She's a vet, and owns several pets, and one of them is a cat whose favourite hobby is having an accident. Somewhere around midnight, the cat...

A great example of how government overreach can cause issues

Juventus player Nicolò Fagioli opened the floodgates and now everyone's trying to swim upstream. And failing. The young footballer, who's on a $1m salary (per year) at 22 years of age, is in deep s**t 'cause he got caught betting (and apparently los...

The European capital city everyone forgot exists

When I first visited it, the Moon Safari club was stupendously vulgar. Coarse beyond belief. Up until the moment I set foot in this amazingly terrible and terribly amazing club, the most vulgar club I'd ever been to was a strip club in Las Vegas. Th...

The seventh smallest country in the world

Travelling is anything. Travelling may as well be a sport. It should be one. The most subjective sport this side of the pitch. Travelling keeps you fit and on point. It's a choice, though. You can either stay home or move around. You either use yo...

This is what $2,500 per month buys you in NEW YORK CITY

When you hear people say "inflation is not real", or "inflation is not that bad" - show them this video. This is what $2,500 (rent) per month gets you in New York City. There's no mention of where the apt is actually located, but I'm gonna give it...

My plan for multiple sources of income

13 Oct 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

At the moment, I've got two sources of income. There's my salary, which is like 90 percent of the whole thing, and then's crypto stuff. Crypto stuff is both active stuff, ie writing on Publish0x for example, and passive stuff, ie staking rewards and...

My first paid article

12 Oct 2023 3 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I penned my first-ever article in 2010 and wrote several every year for four years. For free. It didn't feel great but I did it for two reasons. One, I like writing anyway and two, I knew I needed to build a resume. I'm not a trained journalist. I...

I'm writing a book - and you're all in it

10 Oct 2023 1 minute read 4 comments LeftFooted

I wrote a few books between 2009 and 2015. All of them self-published, and one is available on Amazon. Since 2015, I've started writing many books, but I haven't finished any. And I intend to change that. The book I'm writing will be a collection o...

"It's just money"

10 Oct 2023 1 minute read 10 comments LeftFooted

I kinda hate it when people say "it's just money". It's a deadly, weird expression. First of all, it's always people with money that say "it's just money, you can always make it back". Yeah. This is especially true if you already have MORE money se...

As ever, understanding the problem is half the solution

Countries are made of people. We seem to forget that. No, actually, we seem to think that's not the case. Put it this way. If you live in a home by yourself, you live by your own rules. But add another person to the equation and already there'll be...
