No.
What a remarkable sheltered and pathetic life you must lead. A life of
nots -- not flying, not hot, not cold, without friends, all wrapped up
in an opinionated judgmental persona. You offer us a benchmark to
remind us to be joyful for our lives.

I was thinking exactly that yesterday.

In the morning I walked outside and had to choose weather to drive or ride
to work.

If it's sunny I assume you walk.

Cheers

Have you cheered up any since 2006?

My happiness depends on money, and I don't have any more money now than I did
then.

That makes you a rather miserable sort, then.

You've had years - literally years - to figure out how to make some
money, and yet you've failed. Do you have any idea at all as to why?

That's not a very good description of AS, but it is pretty typical of how an
AS sufferer describes the rest of the world.

As opposed to the way extroverts describe the world?

You know nothing about how extroverts describe the world.

Who's right?

You're not.

Introverts and extroverts. Introverts spend far less time on
self-promotion, so they are often disdained.


You're an idiot, it's a s simple as that.

Interesting observations. Somehow I never considered flying under IFR
a solitary activity: there are real people on the ground I communicate
with very frequently, in meaningful ways.

I communicate with real people when I fly in simulation. Does that count,
too?

Another point is people here don't offer posts looking for handouts,
or confess not having enough money to enjoy a McDonald's hamburger
either.

Most people are too proud to discuss their failings.

Or for that matter wondering if they can afford to buy a
joystick so they might be able to play MSFS better.. These are things
you've done, and are a measure of a less than fruitful life.

Or perhaps I don't see any reason to keep such things a secret.



If talking to simulated controllers when you simulate flight with MSFS
gives you pleasure it counts for you.

If posting seemingly authoritative opinions here brings you pleasure,
even when it takes Clinton-like distortions of the language to pretend
you're not in error, that's fine too.

But so long as you make note of your economic situation without
correcting it, don't expect to be taken seriously. Flying has a price,
and most here are willing to pay that price.

The thing that puzzles me is that you did do a courageous thing --
perhaps not wise, but courageous, when you moved to Paris. I wonder
what changed that drove your life to where it is, and that prevents
you from doing something to correct that. It sounds like depression,
but who knows?

In any event, keep on posting. This isn't a psychological self help
group, so you can expect to be treated like one of the group's clowns.
As is evident from the amount of responses you get, you are providing
pleasure to the newsgroup readers -- everyone wins.

Post away.

You're simply disdained. Whether or not you are an introvert is
irrelevant.

Good.

Flying has an extremely high price, which imposes a very high threshold of
interest in aviation for pilots, even those with lots of money. It's an
extremely expensive hobby.

I think I have an answer for that. You could take up skydiving! If you could
somehow get through the initial training and gear expenses you would only
have to pay for half a ride at a time. About $25.00. And you wouldn't have
to worry about being scared out of your wits by landing in the plane. Of
course, you don't get to drive.

How did you come to find yourself in such dire economic straits? I
know you do ESL and tours now; what was your profession before?

I love Paris, but it is one expensive city to live in!

An unhappy conbination of circumstances.

I have a background in IT.

Agreed.
