    Creating a culture of non-drinkers. How to monetize?

    bruh... NEEEEEEEEEED There are already plenty of non-drinking cultures. No one wants to pay you to connect them with other people who do not drink. That is the most boring, uninspiring problem ever.

    Creating a culture of non-drinkers. How to monetize?

    There are tons of people making lots of money in the addiction/recovery market. I would not recommend it. Normal people are not going to pay you for this, it's a non-problem.

    Generational wealth is the rule? How to break the barrier.

    Any education system with the goal of equality is a bad idea. This is exactly what communists want. The family is the ultimate source of inequality, and therefore the enemy of egalitarians. I think you are on the right track though. Make sure your kids get the best education, home school if you...

    I could do something in Laravel. I'm much more familiar with with Django and Flask when it comes to MVC frameworks. I'd be interested in taking a simple app, like the one I'll be working on later this week, and showing how to build the backend with various languages: Python/Flask, PHP/Laravel...

    Thanks for all of the interest and thanks to everyone who has joined me so far. Did 3 sessions last week and I really enjoyed it. Some people have DM'd and emailed me directly.

    Uninstalled every other game, can't quit Counter-Strike

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Obviously addiction is bad, but I don't think all games are bad, specifically, I like skill-based, competitive games. I see playing CSGO as an entirely different thing from playing something like an MMORPG. Basically some games, like CS, are pretty close to sports, while other games are just...

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    My only concern about the slow pace is that I wonder if my son will just become a surfer bum. Overall, I think this is an amazing place to raise kids, but I think you need to make an effort to expose kids to success and ambition.

    Do You Enjoy the Place Where You Live?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Yes. Beautiful weather, warm water, surfing, hiking, laid-back lifestyle, small town and many expats are successful, entrepreneurial and value liberty. Any time I leave my house I see someone I know. I start my day walking my dog on the beach. Most importantly, I have space to do my own thing...

    Self-programming | 5-day plan

    MINDSET 
    Continuing to work on techniques for programming myself. Most recent realization was that the program needs rhythm. Once I get on the ball and hit it hard, I need to pay attention to where the ball went so I can get back in position. And the program needs to fit in with the natural rhythms of...

    Anyone using the Wim Hof Meditation Method?

    Get a chest freezer. One of my close friends tried several ways to do an ice bath, including buying lots of ice, the final solution was to fill a chest freezer with water (it's a good idea to seal some seams with silicon first). Now at least 6 people I know have the same setup and it's working...

    What skill do I learn to finally start freelancing?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    @Kannnn it's great to hear your willingness and ambition. Rather than trying to learn in a vacuum, start with low skill jobs and learn on the clock based on your client's needs. Take as many basic VA gigs as you can get. Stick with the good clients, learn more than your need to for each job...

    Meditate, Wim Hof breathing, listen to hypnosis induction, walk to the beach, play bullet chess, write. My new office has a good spot for an ice bath, I'll probably put one in soon. I have a lot of friends with freezers setup as I've baths and it's a lot of fun. I also just set up some...
