I would just be happy to have a re-start at life and a chance to make better choices. Enjoy simpler times, get a head start on hobbies and passions, see my favorite bands that are no longer around :)

Eventually I would invest in things which would earn me a safety net and extra income (hard to do that as a 10 year old), but not in companies that go against my values. I don’t need to get rich but I would like enough to be able to benefit my loved ones and community. Not the most ambitious, but practical.

I don’t see why you couldn’t have two separate devices - a basic smartphone that has only the apps you need for work (and no other personal information on it such as photos, contacts, etc.) and a “dumbphone” for personal use.

You can use the smartphone without a SIM card if you don’t need to receive calls or texts (some authenticators only require you to enter a code in their app instead of calling or texting you). There are also VOIP and virtual numbers you that you can use on that device if you need call and text features without giving away your personal number.

I like the rugged CAT dumb phones and believe Nokia still makes decent ones.

• Study skills or certifications that can help you advance at work
• Read
• Walk or do light exercises or stretches if conditions allow
• Clean up your files and personal space
• Write down things you need to get done for the rest of the day to buy (if you’re forgetful like me)

Was is Crimson Room or one of its follow-ups?

I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.

Monosaccharide mommy is what I aspire to be.

Please leave a message after the …(one ear goes mute)…eeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEE

That’s a more positive answer than “handlebars”, so let’s assume “yes”.

Language learning is one thing that can be done when you only have your phone on you but want to be productive. Browsing Wikipedia can also lead you down some interesting rabbit holes where you end up learning something new. I’ll also use downtime to clean up my files and photos.

This must be one of those two wolves that we are always being told are inside us.

First, it’s not only you: making plans that accommodate everyone’s schedules and budgets can be tricky, especially if a lot of people are involved, so you might not be doing anything wrong. You can try letting them know what you want to do earlier in advance so that they know not to make plans for the day. People are more likely to respond to concrete dates, times, and locations instead of vague ones.

Also not all of your friends are going to share your hobbies and interests and that’s ok. Try inviting just the ones you know for sure enjoy the things you do, or joining clubs or activity groups for those things to potentially meet new people to do them with. The time with your other friends can be spent on things you know they want to participate in and can afford.

Nice to see some love for RevCo here. That whole album was great.

Metallic mini backpack.

Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.

Always make sure your loved ones are buckled up.

For my next trick, I’ll be turning a liter of spirits into domestic violence.

Fake Traveler is another GPS spoofer that was recommended online, since you say MockGPS didn’t work consistently for you.

Who would have thought that people don’t want to be recorded without their knowledge or consent?

This would be a huge setback to anyone even remotely concerned about privacy.

I have on several occasions left my uncovered leg as an offering for them so that they would stop zzzzZzzzZZzZing in my ear while I’m trying to sleep. They do it anyway. This is why we don’t negotiate with terrorists.
