Not an American, but increasing SC members would seem like a good thing to do. The more people on it, the harder it is to stack.

I would have at least visited museums and the likes in cities I can't afford to visit, as well as making food with all the tasty high quality ingredients I can't afford.

Maybe drive around on some expensive motorbike just to see how it feels. If my financial situation at the time was especially dire, maybe take a "loan" from a bank somewhere before unfreezing time.

You'd have to be a saint to have that power and not do anything illegal. But one thing I would never do is fuck over regular people, only corporations and big businesses. After time unfreezes, those can recover from whatever I did and I doubt I'd but a significant dent in their profit margins, but regular people would have to live with the consequences of what I did, so that's a no go.

To be fair, I only joined .ml because .world wasn't a thing when I joined and srlpnk and a few others had closed registrations at that time

AllYouPlay and another online game store wouldn't let me register with a protonmail address

There were 2 online game stores that wouldn't allow me to register with a protonmail account, AllYouPlay and another one that I can't recall, which was weird to me

I have no idea why, but I get horrible heartburn from Coke Zero and Pepsi Max. I don't get that from almost nothing else.

Some sites and services won't accept accounts with e-mails outside of the mainstream ones though.

I usually browse by all, but you're right, I've seen people defending them. Though thinking they would be saints if they had the power is insane to me.

Hexbear and Lemmygrad though, have incredibly weird takes to me, especially on Ukraine.

Wait, people actually think Russia or China would be any different of they had the US' influence? That's crazy. It's like folks never heard that quote that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Any country that ends up with that amount of influence will inevitably resort to bs to maintain that power, even if it was a harmless, pacifistic country like Switzerland.

I think that's a mindset issue. If you come at it with "I won't be able to learn this, I'm too stupid", you won't give it your all and you will self sabotage. Besides, nobody is just stupid. You aren't stupud either! Read up on intelligence types and you will certainly feel like one of those is yours, even if it's not academic intelligence. Don't give up!

Everything that needs to be done for society to maintain itself can be done if everyone works 20 hrs a week. The rest is just to allow some other people luxury lifestyles.

You are not only working to mentain a functional society, you are also working to constantly grow it (each year more stuff must be made, more money must be earned, more of everything) it and also to create a very big surplus for the rich. We also burn perfectly edible food, ruin perfectly wearable clothing and make electronic devices that intentionally break in a few years to get you to buy another one sooner just to get the 1% more money. If we didn't do all that and they lived normal, non-luxury lives, everyone would have a lot more free time. If everyone worked only 20 hours a week, we'd make enough to sustain our society.
