You can arguably make money and then invest it in things that do, but you are not in the front lines.
Poker is still good, it's still beatable, it still gives you the same benefits as it did before. You don't become a millionaire from it as often as before (even before was very rare though, obv) but for many it should still be a good option. What have you been up to lately?

Oh, thats true, if you want to not only earn but give something to the world, there are definitely better jobs for this.

oh, from regular job even with good salary I will not become millionaire anyway, unless I count this - take loan, by house, then as the economy grow over years, the house value grows also, when it reaches million, I am millionaire 
but then similar could be possible with poker, just bank probably will not give a loan for poker player, so would have to search for some alternatives.
What have you been up to lately?
I was doing not super productive things at first - at the end of march reading the law, wanted to fight with the room owner where I was renting, she cheated with the money, actually money was not huge, one week at job I earn that amount, but I wanted 'to show' her ♦ did not succeed, cause did not have right documents.
Also at the same moment there was problems in ukraine and new sites were full of articles and I was so interested that after job I spent whole evenings reading that stuff and thinking, maybe I should leave lithuania, cause russia is near us too 
and then also after month of reading news, I decided that I forgot a bit how to play and there was another kind of "project" to do, but I dont want to tell that publicly
Also during holidays from poker I played stronghold 2 a bit, good game for my relatively slow computer, recommend it

What are you doing at the moment "to make the world a better place"?
(or: How do you use the majority of your time / what's your job/business right now?)
Adefy is a mobile advertising technology startup and a project I recently joined is StartuS, a platform to connect people looking to be involved in startups, from employees to co-founders and advisors.
I also read a few hours per week on average. Topics vary from social psychology, to business, marketing, science stuff, etc.

Since Roo's so enthusiastic, I think we should restart The Zimmers. However, MisClick is stuck in a cleft between two steep rocks somewhere in the U.S.A. and will probably not be able to hack her own arm off in time to manage the club. Since she's the only one who can do this, we'll have to play somewhere else. Fortunately, I created the imaginatively named 'JB's Club' so that I could get my arse handed to me on a plate in last year's PS HU tournament. Let's play there.Club ID number: 895115
Invitation Code: jbpatzer123I reckon it's too ageist just to restrict it to old farts. Anyone can join but I reserve the right to throw you out if
(1) I don't like the cut of your jib,
(2) You check-raise me too often when I cbet 98% of my range,
(3) You're no fun.Joining the club does not guarantee you entry to the Skype channel, because not everyone can cope with Roo asking what the rules of 2-7 single draw are for the 17th time.
We usually start three or four nanostakes MTTs in various games at about 8pm and play until Vorpal sucks out in the final HU pot.
Anybody up for 8pm this Thursday?
Thought i was good at bombing.....but i'm tempted to giving you this title 
manu im hassling your fb next!!!
