I think I am past the point of buying stuff to make myself happy tbh.
I stopped buying new video games, game systems, etc.
Only a couple years ago, I would have instantly bought some top of the line new phone but when my last one broke, I bought a Pixel 4a from a nearby store as a "stopgap"... Never got another phone, I don't have a problem with this one.
Every time I've recently bought something, it's only served to make me feel dissatisfied.
Pretty much all I get these days is groceries.

Master of Bees
Can communicate with insects of the order Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants, sawflies) and has established himself as the liaison between the world of humans and the world of bees. Only bees and ants are organised into large pseudo-national structures.
His daily life is spent engaging in complicated global bee politics and is acknowledged by bee society as being the man with the most powerful connections within the world of bees.
There are hymenoptera on 6 of the world's continents and it turns out hymenoptera are actually the dominant life forms on Earth. He spends most of his days gaining greater political standing within this world by solving bee problems and attempting to unite the hymenoptera to gain representation within the world of humans.
The ants however are the rivals of the bees and he is attempting to settle their differences and bring both under his power.
