    Nothing. No money for investments then or now, which is also why I never kept up enough with stocks, crypto etc. to be able to cheat the market as a one-time time traveller. Plus I have several medical issues (then and now) that remain unsolved mysteries.

    Only thing I can think of is using a bigger boot partition when I installed reinstalled Ubuntu from scratch about 5 years ago.

      Besides moving to linux sooner, I would not dual boot at all, since I almost never used the other system.

        It’s mostly just a recent issue that popped up. I’m currently running Ubuntu 20.04 (i.e. version from 2020, there have been two major releases since then) and since I use LUKS, resizing the boot partition is going to be fairly complicated, if I can figure it out at all.

    Besides the obvious monetary stuff, I’d be going into my second year of university knowing that I am autistic and having learned a lot of the social skills and coping strategies that I learned from therapy. I’d probably be able to find a fulfilling relationship before I turned 20 (rather than 28), and I would have felt far more comfortable joining up with clubs and groups at school and developing a social network.

    I often feel bad that I only started getting help with those aspects of myself within the last couple of years. But I wasn’t aware that I was autistic.

    I wouldn’t change anything, but I would be far less stressed that everything would work out just fine.

    Well I’d have more time to practice flow arts, and I’d know where not to be to get hit with a fake conviction.

    First I wouldn’t buy my Mustang, I’d rebuild my Jeep and stick to Offroading instead of racecars wayyy cheaper over time. Then I wouldnt get out of the Army because the real world sucks, from there everything I know now wouldn’t have happened and I probably wouldn’t even live in the State I live in now

    One thing I’m learning from these types of questions is that knowledge isn’t power, money is. There is precious little I could do with future knolewedge outside of personal/family matters without first using that knowledge to make as much money as possible.

    You saying “right now” kinda ruins it :)

    I’d rather take two more hours to collect some data from the stock markets, and how they went up and down after our beloved lunatic CEO’s bigmouth accidents.

    Buy bitcoin, then eth when it’s released, then solana when it’s released. Sell at the top and start a cat sanctuary.

    I’d probably just shoot my younger self. It’s not suicide when it’s murder. Or something. Anyway obliterating the universe with a paradox would definitely be a better result than the hell we’re currently living in.
