    Launching Info Product to overcome an anxiety

    EXECUTION 
    You folks talking about validation up-thread reminded me of the I Love Marketing podcast for this week: https://ilovemarketing.com/an-amazing-9-word-email-that-revives-dead-leads-with-dean-jackson-at-joe-polishs-genius-network/ It's about reviving old leads, but there's some good gems in there...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    I agree with the idea. We don't need to rehearse all the reasons why having these gigantic platforms controlling and filtering social reality is a net long-term Bad Thing. I don't agree with letting axe-grinding politicians bring in the bloated bureaucratic beast of Federal Government™ to make...

    Lex DeVille's 2019-22 Step-By-Step Upwork Tutorial for Brokeass Bootstrap Beginners Who Need Cash Now!

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is good to see @Lex DeVille I just jumped back on the Upwork train last week after reading one of your posts the other week about using low-tier jobs to grease the skids. I already picked up two new clients yesterday after close to 6 months away and a profile set to private.

    New venture Website, Looking for feedback

    HOT! 
    Same issue with the Big Black Square, though the video loaded after I clicked back over. This is Firefox 66 on Ubuntu, script-blocked to hell and back. I agree with the others -- I have no idea what this site is about when I first land. You need more headline and more detail to orient somebody...

    I Hate the Idea of Being Equal!

    HOT! IDEA 
    Ok, friend. I just wish you didn't take what I wrote as a personal attack. Not every disagreement is telling you that you're a bad person. Have a great day!

    I Hate the Idea of Being Equal!

    HOT! IDEA 
    I see, so we're at the point where we can just say things and they're true, because we like them or something. That's a world I can have some real fun with!

    I Hate the Idea of Being Equal!

    HOT! IDEA 
    Alright. Your next step is to justify the bolded assertion, to say why it is true and/or why anyone should believe you. You have two options for this. You can hold it up as true, doing your own little bit of metaphysics. But that looks an awful lot like a priori knowledge. You can be a good...

    I Hate the Idea of Being Equal!

    HOT! IDEA 
    There's a lot to argue against in Kant's practical philosophy, but I'm wondering what gave you the impression that he ever wrote anything like this. Rousseau, the Jacobins & the French revolutionaries, Hegel, Bentham and Mill, the 20th century positivists...these are all much better choices...

    Polyphasic sleep anybody?

    HEALTH 
    You might get something out of it for short sprints of work. If you needed to. (I have no idea why you'd need to.) Even the military couldn't get it to work for longer than a couple of weeks before sleep deprivation won out. It's not a lifestyle choice, if that's what you were asking.

    The 5am Club - Worth it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Any hours I'm awake before about 11am-12pm are golden. I'm most focused and alert during these times. I have a second wind from around 8pm until bed. Less alert but more associative -- good time to have creative thoughts, unsconscious "aha!" insights, that kind of thing. In summer months it's...

    Best web design for SEO?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    On-page SEO factors are mostly content issues. You can fiddle with a few things like some of the meta and Open Graph tags and Schema.org markup, which may be easier with a self-hosted WP or static HTML site. (This is all that Yoast and other SEO plugins do on WordPress anyway.) For the most...

    How to Get Rich, by Felix Dennis

    BOOKS 
    I read this too long ago to give it a proper fresh review. On top of that, most of the major positive points of the book have already been covered or will be. Instead of giving a full review, I'll draw attention to a sub-text in this book that I haven't seen others talking about. Between the...

    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    This is what has kept me from going full vegan. I've had to keep eggs, protein powder and cottage cheese in my diet because I haven't found any economical plant-based solutions -- economical as in cost and economical as in what can I reasonably shove down my throat. I'd be interested in any...

    Hello from longtime lurker and writer

    I think I'd be wary of interpreting the draw to art and entertainment with the language of need and problem-satisfaction. It gets something right -- people do come to entertainment because the message speaks to them and draws them in, one way or another -- but the devil's always in the details...

    Learning How To Learn

    HOT! 
    Three main things. 1. Take your ego out of the process. This is the hardest thing for most people to figure out and even the best of us still trip over it. The ideal is to separate the evaluation of thoughts and arguments from your (dis)like of them. With practice, you can start to see the...

    Are you most productive early or later in the day?

    MINDSET 
    Yes, with a qualifier. There are different chronotypes that reflect differences in circadian rhythms. Some people are "lark" types, with an ordinary early-morning wakefulness, a lull in the afternoon, and a recovery phase in the evening. Energy and cognitive function peak in the wakefulness...

    Porking with Purpose (Dad Blog) PROGRESS THREAD

    EXECUTION 
    RE: the name and the playfulness angle, I don't mean to come off like a dried-up prune about it. I'm in in your target audience (or was 1-2 years ago), and my main hangup was the head-scratch factor. When I first saw it, I couldn't tell the point of the site from the name alone. Then my 80s...

    Porking with Purpose (Dad Blog) PROGRESS THREAD

    EXECUTION 
    This was my exact reaction. I waffled between "I don't know what this means" and "do I need to open this in a private window?" OP with the audience you're aiming for, you should strongly reconsider the name. It's totally disconnected from who you want to reach and what you're trying to be.

    I just put my house up for sale and no one I know understands why

    HOT! 
    I hope everything works out for you @jakeG but one more piece of advice. As a fellow local who couldn't wait to get out of town, some of your chosen destinations aren't what you might think. Let me tell you from experience that moving from where you are to South Florida isn't going to turn up...
