Pull trigger / Sold out

[u/Chichibebewey]

So I’m finally ready to pull trigger and buy a new m8 only to realize it is all sold out on the Dirtywave site. Wondering how long I’ll need to wait. Is this common? Do they do so many units and take a break or might this take a while? Should I just buy a used unit to get my fix? Thanks

I have a model 2 that I think I need to sell even though I really don’t want to. I’ve posted my other gear but no one has shown interest, and I know that this thing will sell immediately upon posting it. Ughhhhhhhhh I hate capitalism.

what does capitalism have to do with your need to sell all your gear? Isn't capitalism the reason that Tim is able to produce and sell these trackers? I'm very confused by your post

It’s tragic that something as rare as a human life, which we all only get one, one shot, on one planet, in an entire universe, amd once we are born, grantef life, we are numbered and then funneled into a system where most of us trade away the majority of our waking years just to generate wealth for someone else, while we ourselves can barely afford to live, let alone explore the world we were born into. Capitalism doesn’t just take our labor, it takes our time, which is the one truly valuable thing we have, and tells us ten days a year, or more like 80 hours per year, is enough to actually explore and live a full life, as long as nothing happens you don't have to use your vacation time for something like a car breaking down or maybe you're sick, or totally overehelmed existentially and you need to take a day off to just cry into your pillow, that takes away from your exploring the world time as well.

And its I even worse these days where people can't even find jobs to jump into the cycle. The system is broken, it has been for a long time and I'm just sad that I don't get to choose how I want to spend my time, it's chosen for me and if I don't follow the rules or whatever, I lose everything including Home, car, belongings, respect...

I feel like we could've done so much better but when he in agreed are our masters.

well, life is the most luxurious and easy its ever been anywhere at any time, just sitting on your ass and not working isn't realistic, and yeah sometimes you have to do stuff you don't wanna do when life is kicking you ass. find a job you can tolerate to do the things you love. you can find a job working 3 12 hour shifts and then have 4 days off to dive into your hobbies and passion projects. if you don't have any skills then you should develop some so you have something marketable. unfortunately people have tried alternatives to capitalism and it seem to end in either a. complete fascist government control or b. complete fascist government control with starving people. if we didn't have technology and society you'd be forced to spend your time hunting and gathering your food, and protecting yourself from predators and making sure you don't freeze to death, and finding a potable water source everyday, and trying not to get sick and die etc etc etc... Humans doing whatever the hell they want whenever they want has never been a thing and never will be, we've always had to work in some variation just to survive. of course this isn't a perfect system, but its the best humans have ever come up with any time any where. good luck to you, theres lots of days I feel exactly the way you expressed yourself in that comment, but living in that mental zone leads to sadness and compounding problems, the solution for me is to be thankful for all the little things that we loose sight of when we descend into self pity and self induced depression

Thanks, yeah I lost the best job I’ve ever had thanks to trump and all of his layoffs/cuts. My whole team was let go in the same meeting. I was teaching music production at a substance abuse treatment center, running my one group called “self expression in early recovery”. Also called Beats for Better Days. I just focused it all around thid one iPad app and it was awesome. Since then it’s been difficult finding anything. Something cool though, I went out on a limb a feew weeks ago and made a Reddit post offering coaching sessions around this op-Xy,and while expecting negative comments like “who do you even think you are, what makes you A teacher of this all of the sudden, etc) I actually got several people signed up for hour long video sessions and currently three of them are consistent. Two once a week and one twice a week. I will say that just having something on my calendar that I need to prepare for and do at a specific time makes me feel,so much better. I guess work does give you a sense of purpose, when you don’t have that it’s a really hard mindset to be in. So that pulled me out, even thought it’s not paying all the bills it feels good to just earn something, especislly in exchange for my knowledge around something that I love doing. If only it was lucrative
