Haven’t day traded but I have speed ran games, you get a similar awesome feeling when you’ve accomplished the goal, and similar feelings when your runs that day are just worse than yesterdays.

You can’t separate your mood and results. At least I couldn’t. Most days this was fine, I could focus on “I got this trick down, just need to integrate it into the run better” or “wow, that was a perfect 2 minutes” (of an hour-long run). The days where there wasn’t a silver lining, those days were a mess. Spend hours, all fucking day, accomplishing nothing? Killed me. I stopped speedrunning. Mostly stopped gaming, but I still like doing factory games or doing things like making a living dex in Pokémon, and still play games with others.

If you’re shutting down on those bad days, you have it worse than me, which makes sense, since you’re spending money to do this. My advice is to look at what money you’ve actually made. Is it more than what a normal job would make for the time you’ve put in? If not, then stop doing it, its not profitable. If it IS making you more money, then you need to put a value on your happiness, since its costing you that. Spoiler, most people want money to live well and get happiness. Even if you’re making more, think of it like “was the extra hundred I made worth the crashes I’ve been having?”.

Gambling isn’t sustainable, anyway. Day trading is a short term thing, at best, and it sounds like you’ve tapped that out, at least as far as you can without sacrificing your health.

Depends how they can interact with local laws.

It’s reasonable to conclude a temporary owner could invite someone in, just like a real one. If a warrant involved temporary possession, then the government that issued it would be able to invite someone in, and then if the vampire were charged with a search, that charge would be an invitation.

Based on wording on example warrants in the US, however, they do not word it as a seizure of the building, even temporary. Makes sense, but at least a US-based vampire with a warrant would need to still be invited in.

Military behind lines can be pretty important because of delays in them receiving notices and their ability to do anything about it. Pretty much every legal notice gets a timeframe before things occur. Usually something like a month is sufficient, but for someone in military service, who have arguably the best excuse to not be able to do regular things for a whole month, the usual polite way to go about things is to wait for them to return home, and historically, courts have thrown out cases for people who didn’t do that, because it wasn’t a reasonable amount of notice.

No idea about the legalities of this particular case, but it is extra rude, getting a court date and losing by default for not showing up when you didn’t show up because another part of government mandated you be on a battlefield.

Community sheds.

Imagine a house-sized (or larger) lot in the neighborhood thats just a shed. You go in, theres a few lawnmowers, a chainsaw or two, all kinds of power tools and hand tools, hoses, a couple of printers. Whatever you might imagine in a hardware store that isn’t bought and immediately consumed, it’s in there, because some neighbor saw the need once, bought it, and stored it. One day you, say, realize you need a voltage tester, and you don’t own one, so you go to the community shed, realize one isn’t in there, buy one, use it, and then put it away in the community shed. No one else in the entire neighborhood needs to buy one, they’ll find it in the shed.

So handy, but it relies on trusting your neighbors. Trusting them to return things, but more than that, trusting them to bother to contribute, help to keep it organized, and to replace things when they break.

I was still speaking historically, so I meant before easy checks like your ID were in place. Its definitely harder to do that, nowadays. But of course they can go after you for it, that’s my point. You’ve agreed to a contract by the act of signing anything. If I forge a name of a nonexistent person, they can still go after me as if I’d signed it normally, because the act of signing at all is what binds me, not what I actually sign. I held the pen, I agreed to the contract. It would be ridiculous to escape legal consequences by doing things like signing differently, and in this area of law, at least in the US, common sense prevailed and I’ll be liable for whatever I willingly signed, whether that’s my name, an X, a fingerprint, a fake name, or anything else.

Signatures have never required cursive. Historically, people who couldn’t read or write would just put an X in the signature spot and that was valid. Yeah, there is a marginal benefit to physically signing something in cursive, but the purpose of signing it has always been more of a final agreement step.

If handwriting and spelling and how I signed it actually mattered at all legally, then I could sign a different name when I buy a car, get keys, drive away, and later in court, say “well I never agreed to pay for this car, look at my signature, it says Frank Sinatra”. Same goes for a true forgery. The evidence I didn’t sign it myself is my statement in court saying “I didn’t sign this”, and whatever signs there are that I didn’t benefit from this.
