Yeah I would do lots of things differently if I could go back, but I wouldn't want to risk not ending up with my wife so I'd pass even though I'm sure other aspects of my life owuld be improved
If you could push a magic button, roll the clock back and hop back in time into younger you with all the knowledge you have today...
1: would you push the button?
2: how young would you go?
Yes. 14.
13-15 is about what I was thinking also.
There are some ISSUES regarding having any relationships during those first few years, but high school is one of those experiences that, in hindsight, is a lot less important than it seems and I would probably make some seriously different decisions.
And I was thinking far less of money and more of going through that period of time where you wish you could tell yourself its gonna be okay... but taking it one step further.
But if money was the thing, I would go back to when I was 13, and spend the next 10 years or so saving up every single penny I could. I would buy into a LOT of magic the gathering alpha and sell it off, I would do everything I could to have as much money as I could in 2002 so I could buy as many Apple shares as I could at 7 bucks a pop.
At 15 some stuff happened that set up a lot of other stuff that lead to other stuff. I could have avoided all of that. Timing the .dot com boom/bust would be handy.
ege said a terrible thing and like ten people sigged it. I think he later recanted but no one really let it drop, so he checked out permanently.
The forums do that sometimes. Once they have a thing they don't let go of it and I dunno how fair it is if the person has genuinely changed and wants to move on.
he said that rape can't physically hurt unless the man has a pneumatic drill for a penis
that's memorable no matter how many sigs its quoted in

I would 100% press the button, but I have no idea if it would change anything.
Also, going back with present-day knowledge might do more harm than good.

if somehow I woke up and was me as a kid with my current memories I'd just kill myself then and there
sometimes I have nightmares about that. about having to go through it all again

there were a few girls in high school / middle school that were fairly obviously into me but I didn't have the self confidence or self esteem to do anything about it. so going back with that knowledge would be fun.
but yeah, idk.

I'd def go back but I don't know how far back I could stomach going. Probably about 10 years, maybe befriend notch or something, get in on that sweet minecraft.

Well fuck, I just thought more of it and I realize I could save my cousin on 9/11 and possibly even stop it altogether because I remember the flight numbers and whatnot.
And the question at that point becomes... you want to end up where you were, only better off or more at peace with the way your life went.

instead of stocks, i'd probably just fuck around with a ridiculous football accumulator
"I guessed 27 football results in a row" is way cooler than "so i was on the stock market"
on the one hand, going back knowing what i know now could be beneficial
on the other hand i'd know there would be like 10 years before i would have the entire internet in my pocket whenever i wanted to use it
and several years before text messaging
or google maps
omg the past sucked you guys
Plus you'd seem like a crazy person or a witch or something.

That wasn't LearnedHand with the wife, he still pops up in the internet dating thread every few months to talk about how those women be crazy to not throw themselves at him. And his weird hangup on something to do with Asians that I can't quite remember.

Actually I might just go back specifically to punch that one neighbor in the face and to make them drive more slowly so they don't kill the neurotic huggy drooling cat composed wholly of love.

2: how young would you go?
id be a bit afraid to since it might mean I unintentionally fuck things up with the wife and don't end up as supremely happy as I am now but
This is the same reason why I wouldn't go back too far, even though I think a very young version of myself would benefit a lot more than an adult-but-younger version of me. If I go back TOO far, I'd never meet my current girlfriend and... I can't imagine life without her.
