America is officially dead.


Is the rest of the west far behind? I don't think so.

There are many people I wish would just drop dead and Fauci is one of them

How about we just ban giving birth? That way, humans will be extinct in about 100 years and the flu can roam around freely.

A vendor of ours screwed up massively a few years ago and destroyed our relationship with our customer and ruined the project we were working on.

Said vendor apologized for their mistake and the sales rep said they would fix it, free of charge (after a lot of arguing and cursing).

Fast forward ~3 years later, that sales rep was fired long ago and the vendor still sends us the same $7000 invoice every single month that they admitted was their fault and that they wouldn't charge us for.

Completely their fault. They sent us the wrong items! They paid to take them back and get us the right items. But they want us to pay them for it 3 years later?

Very, very, annoying.

Don't mistake the West with the Anglo-Saxon world. I feel the divide is getting bigger and bigger between us.

I can still make fun of fat and religious people in French, but I get canceled in English lmao

Well, that's the idea in "Brave New World"......

So my friend got a job 6 weeks ago. Her first job. At the beginning, she was like "I hate it, I will quit". Now she told me "omg monfii, I have so much free time! I can do what I want after work".

Slowlane swallowed her.

If you're interested in getting jacked, this is the routine that I use:


It's a 6 day per week plan. Each day takes roughly 20-40 minutes.

You could look dramatically different in just a few months (beginners can add 2 lbs of muscle per month, which is HUGE).

I'd aim for 1-1.25 grams per day of protein and 8 hours of sleep per night.

It would be very tough for a beginner to do, but it has a lot of great info.

I'm not affiliated with him - I'm just sharing what has worked for me.

What's wrong with being anti vax anyway? In the last 100 years we went from 1 autistic every 10.000 newborns to 1 in 80-60, and this keeps going up. Same as the amount of vaccines in the calendar. (This are official numbers, not my opinion) Oh yeah, "its genetic !" yeah , genes don't change like that in just 100 years, but mass injections of bullshit ingredients by big pharma is a new thing from the 20th century. Oh yeah, Luc Montagnier, the winner of the Nobel prize in medicine said this very thing. And he got cancelled... "Trust the doctors ! But just the ones we tell you to trust in the media."

Damn.

On a sweeter note, I'm back from a two day 25/30KM trekking adventure. Went to the snow after years of not seeing it. I'm so exhausted and it was so worth it !

My uncle got vaxinated then two weeks later got COVID and passed away. Same thing happened to my cousin’s grandma. She got vaxinated then passed away from Covid three weeks later. The media would never report stories like that.

A man made vaccine for a man made virus. So it’s anybody’s guess.

Was thinking about this today. Sell something at a loss or break even to get people to come in and sell something else at a profit. You could do it with brick and mortar and online. It’s a powerful marketing strategy.

The French left is importing all this American bullshit and it's spreading through the media. We are behind, but not so far and going the same way.

What about the mid to long term effect of mRNA vaccines? Perhaps chance is small, perhaps it's not. How did you decide for vaccination considering the potential long term risks vs COVID death risk?

Don't y'all wish that you came up with such a cutting edge idea?

WOW! A hedge fund that buys the most popular and overhyped, WSB, blank check, meme stocks and collects 2 and 20 for the privilege. LOL people are such idiots.

I really need to be dumbing down my offerings to the world.

Why would I want to shed the 15 lbs of muscle that I've put on since Covid started? That's what everyone else did, right?

My parents are trying to find out what they're going to do with a building they have inherited in the center of my city. It's big, there are two apartments of 132 meter square each and a third one over two floors that is about 200 square meters. But the ROI is low due to the price of rent being low and cost of repairs high.

Anyway, my mum and I went to visit a notary today. The guy has a real estate empire and ten people working for him. Since my parents plan on paying back their loans with the rent they will get, I asked the notary what were the chances of not finding tenants or tourists to rent out to.

He said we'd also have to be careful with people that don't pay their rent. He told us that despite the fact he is extremely careful when choosing his tenants, 1/12 tenant end up not paying.

This is why banks don't like lending money to people renting out real estate when they have to repay them with the rents only.

People that reach the top of society are overrated. It's not because you're heading a 50 billion fund that you are right. Look at Masayoshi Son and his Vision Fund. He invested in Grab (the uber of south east asia). Did he even use the app once? He invested in WeWork. Did he visit the WeWork offices? No. He invested following "gut feeling" lmao


He is also the guy that lost the most money in the history of the world (about 70 billion). As for Cathie Woods, she was mentored by the guy from Greenshill LOL.

I was discussing this with my dad, which only trusts experts. If you read the book "Think for yourself" by Vikram Mansharamani, you realize experts are most often wrong than nonexperts. So I stopped trusting experts and trust only one person: myself.

After all, we live in a world where the moron that got dogecoin 3 months ago made a better return than Goldman Sachs' traders. Experts my a$$. This world is a black swan world.

I hate instragram. I'll never use it for marketing.

My gf's podcast gets pretty much zero likes or any engagement on Facebook and she's been running it for over half a year. At most she maybe gets 2-3 likes and no comments. On Instagram which she started like a week ago she gets even 30+ likes and a few comments.

Facebook is IMO dying at least as an organic source of traffic. And the value of Facebook fans is close to zero since nobody sees your posts anyway or they're bots.

TikTok on the other hand, I think that is possibly the biggest marketing opportunity, at least for personal brands. Youtube is always a favorite of mine, except their recent practices are making people think twice about using them.

TikTok is very strange. I tried to learn more about it so I read some reports and also used the site myself (just browsing, no creating content). For the most part it's extremely cringeworthy. I'm not sure if it'll ever make sense for anyone else than personal brands focused on entertainment.

This is probably an irrelevant comment, but I wanted to point out that Instagram is owned by Facebook.

Lol

It's not an irrelevant comment at all. Instagram is already displaying the same behaviors that Facebook started displaying a few years ago. I have no doubt that within 1-2 years you'll have to pay for exposure the same way as you have to pay on Facebook and organic reach will be laughable compared to today.

That's the dangerous part about relying on platforms. They keep changing and can ruin your business overnight if you rely on just one or two, as many marketers do. In some ways it doesn't even feel like a business if one platform is responsible for your entire income. It's sort of like having a boss.
