Apart from “life is short”, what other lines do you use before making bad decisions?

"That's a problem for future me" "ah she'll be right" "fuck it what's the worst that could happen"

she'll be right... @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

Also an Aussie thing. We likely nicked it from them like Esky.

if it was really illegal they wouldve made the sign bigger.

It's always better to regret something you have done than something you haven't.

By the way, if you see your mother this weekend, tell her "Satan! Satan! Satan!"

Such a great album opener. I love when people are hearing it for the first time and turn up the volume to hear the intro better and then, well, you know...

"What's the worst that can happen?"

"Watch this shit!"

"One more couldn't hurt."

And the classic, "hold my beer".

And the classic, "hold my beer"

This is the correct answer.

For 3 days I've been hovering over the checkout button on £800 of computer parts I can't afford so that I can play starfield properly.

This thread is not good for me.

Don't do it dude(tte). Save up for it. The game will still be there in a while, it will have received some bugfixing patches, mods will be developed, and on top of that the parts will probably be cheaper by then.

Thanks mate, I'm staying strong but every upvote feels like someone whispering "do it" to me.

Sorry folks, I'm being better.

"Thats a problem for future me" or "Future me will hate me for that"

"What's the worst thing that could happen?"

"Fuck it"

"I'm here for a good time, not for a long time"

"I'll deal with it on the fly"

"Yolo"

"Ask not 'why?' - ask 'why not?'".

Eh, I deserve some reward/treat after going through that!

even if it goes wrong, everything will sort itself out in the end

this is my motto, and I’m very proud of my terrible decision making

"I've gotten this far, might as well go all the way through"

'"I need to live with my consequences of my decisions"

"it may turn out to be a mistake but It will be my mistake"

"if I didn't want to follow through why did I even leave the sofa? Of course I must commit"

Oh well... fuck it, let's do it.

Or just "Oh well..." preceded or followed by a sigh, a shrug, or both.

Let future-me deal with the consequences/costs

What's the worst that can happen?

"At least I learned who I was".

I can't remember where I first heard that from, but its been my go-to for years. Funnily enough, it's kinda become an almost comforting thought now that I do actually feel like I know who I am.

One I've literally used more than once: "If I die, I'm going to look very stupid"

I'm also fond of: "There's only one way to find out"

"What's the worst that could happen?"

A minute later: "Oh, that."

"Hold my beer"

"Well this is probably stupid but whatever"

"How bad it could it hurt, really?"

In response to a perfectly valid question about dumbass plan I just came up with:

"we'll burn that bridge when we come to it"

Hey honey watch this

I know I shouldn’t but

Anything where multiple words are slurred

"Honeybadger don't care! Honeybadger just takes what he wants!"

"FML, anyway. What's the worst that is going to happen?"

Fuck it. Generally right before I make a large, usually irresponsible decision, I say “fuck it”.

Two I surprisingly haven't seen yet:

"I haven't given a shit about anything in a while"

and

"I'll just cancel the free trial"

I spend 60% of my life in front of it, might as well splurge on quality and comfort.

(Bad decision A: Spending almost 2/3 of my life sitting on a computer. Bad decision B: Using money on computers that I SHOULD save up to eventually affort a house loan)

"why not" "Fuck it" "Am I going to regret this? Not 80%? Do it" "Because I'm bored"

"Gotta be in it to win it." bonus points if it's obviously only a painful task.

Oh and, nearly forgot my personal favourite, if I'm about to do something stupid, I say

"if I die from this, you have to write it on my gravestone."

I probably say that one way too often for my age...

You gotta die somehow, may as well make it a good story to tell.

I've suffered for this long, what's another month of misery.

"Life is long, I'll have plenty of time to do it in the future". Spoiler: life is short

It’s 6 months same-as-cash! I’ll definitely pay it off by then!

"Whatever happens, happens"

"It is what it is"

What no kill fatten & what no fatten forgotten (Sounds like: wano keel fat e wano fat fegot when I say it lol)

Welp, it ain't gonna get worse than this

Yolo, but ironically, but so often that I'm not sure I'm using it ironically anymore?

Gotta expect a few losses in a big operation!

“I’ll be careful.”

A friend once pointed out to me that if you have to tell yourself this, you should stop whatever you’re doing (e.g. pouring bleach while wearing your best shirt) and reevaluate.

"Fuck it, leggo" and "what's the worst that could happen?"

"I did a good job today and I deserve a treat." I procede toneat entirely too much candy, but I never learn.
