This kid is 17. What a chad! As long as he doesn't let less interesting people beat the creative spirit out of him, he's going to go places in life. I mean he's already doing so, about 800 miles worth of places per day

Or he just dwells on this one thing for the rest of his life like many others did before him...

  In my exp if they're dwelling on one thing, they fell into it. Engineering a situation implies they worked out how to control things in their environment. Not all environments are conducive to musterable control but when it lines up stuff can happen.

Great thing to do when you're young, why not. I slept on a mattress in a closet for a year. Standards increase as you age, not just because you can but because you get increasingly tired. I held out as long as I could, sleeping in cheap hostels when traveling, but after one night of drunk people coming into the dorm causing days of fatigue I realized it's time to up the standards. Or just not travel.

Does "Chad" have positive connotations now? When I was younger it was fairly derogatory.

  I believe incels co-opted and elevated Chads (using it to essentially refer to guys who have sex) and it became memed outside of just the incel community. https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/virgin-vs-chad-meme/ https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/virgin-vs-chad-meme/

    So it went from "asshole" to "asshole who has lots of sex" to "guy who has lots of sex"? That kind of makes sense.

      Exactly! My understanding is the incels believe women are responding favorably to that asshole behavior thus the connection to the original meaning but also how it tied into their obsession. Not sure that way of thinking has worked out well for anyone save for being a redemption arc for the Chads of the world.
