    First you get the money...

    I think I would patron sexbot research/construction.

    then have them pilot an army of these.

    It would be quite the enjoyable army.

    Purchase land and recreate the 1920's New York City, fully governed by a personal mafia. 1920 clothing and accent guides would be dispensed with citizenship. I would also accept a holodeck.

    You haven't seen that mech before? I'm surprised, in that it's pretty famous. It's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it's functional and can even hazard Alaskan weather/terrain. The arm's and body mobility is also pretty amazing.

    wait
    is this the dude you're talking about?
    because his projects seem pretty low quality
    it's like most of his shit is just welding on more tubes on until he has an approximate shape
    like his "sky bike"

    there's not much art to any of it, it's very crude and blocky and I'm pretty sure that sky bike just rolls around on the ground (and probably very awkwardly)

    Yeah. I agree it's more shoddy then I was making it out to be. I had just gis-ed the image after remembering it in a popular mechanics article and several tv spots. A little bit more research has revealed it's not the greatest mech ever made. It's still pretty neat.

    I can't seem to justify buying a new phone. I have had the shame crummy phone the past couple of years. It is for phonecalls and that is it, because it can't do much else. I don't call people that often, though I'd probably get into texting with a comfy keyboard.

    Now my parents thought they'd get me a new phone since my birthday is coming up and I brought home my first straight-A report card. Several hundreds of dollars for just the phone isn't financially feasible but the discounted prices I get apply only if I sign a contract. 40 dollars for hundreds of minutes doesn't make sense either; I just wanna get on the net and stream Pandora and make those measly number of calls.

    I can't afford any seafaring vessel. No seriously, I'm not that fucking poor, it's just that anything boat-shaped that can actually move on water will cost about 7500 % more than you'd expect - especially considering how much seafaring and nautical life sucks.

    My father in law boat a decent sized sailboat and trailer in serviceable condition for $300.

    I think the hardest part of owning a boat is paying for docking space. It's like paying rent twice.

    Edit: Let me add what makes it worse:

    Let's say you can only sail out on Sundays. If you pay $800 for docking space monthly, that's basically like paying $200 every time you use your boat, if you go every Sunday that month. If you only were able to sail on one weekend, you could say you paid $800 for that one day. Ouch.
