    Grabbing brands by their balls

    IDEA 
    Even if you were not serious, that's really how it works. For example, ship tons of non-recyclable crap to 3rd world countries ("cheaper than to deal with it in-house)", get discovered, do a "promise to do better" campaign, take a few photos of the CEO picking up crap from a beach in Africa...

    Grabbing brands by their balls

    IDEA 
    I'm not looking to get information from you and then execute the idea. It's a good mental exercise to try and answer questions that actually matter, it might also help others look at their ideas from a different perspective (how viable they are and what it would take to bring them to life)...

    Grabbing brands by their balls

    IDEA 
    What "algorithm" would you put in place to determine who's doing good and who's not? What are the criteria? How do you ensure it's factual and unbiased? What if a generally "good" brand has a controversial campaign once? Are you deducting some imaginary "goodness" points? What's the...

    I quit vaping, and so should you.

    HEALTH 
    It gets better! I'm 3-4 months off after vaping for 2-ish years regularly. During the first week, urges are constant. Just gotta push it. It sucks, no way around it. In weeks 2 and 3, urges pop in every now and then. After a month, it gets easy. What helped me was telling ChatGPT that I...

    anyone else hates living in apartments?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Both have their benefits. Apartments generally have a more central location and less maintenance. If you want to live in the center of a big city, good luck finding a "villa" where you can walk around naked in your backyard. Millionaires and billionaires probably prefer to have both. Get a...

    My brain doesn't work properly help!! (RANT) (RANT) (RANT!!!)

    IDEA 
    This is not healthy, but I can relate deeply. Not as much anymore, but I definitely shared the same patterns when I was younger (late teens to early 20s), now late 20s. Very depressed, very broke, very nihilistic, overall a mess. First, if you really feel this way, either get up and do it, or...

    RANT: $20'000 For a LLC!!

    RANT 
    First, only create an LLC when you actually need one. You don't need one when making 0 sales (unless the production is complex and expensive enough to justify it). Second, check out Estonia. It's common for foreigners to register companies there and it's cheap. Not sure, but I think it's mainly...

    Almost got into a street fight today... thoughts?

    OFF-TOPIC CHAT 
    This is tricky. From one perspective, respect to you, most men couldn't do that. From another point of view, if it's not a person being harmed, is it worth it? Street fights are unpredictable, unlucky punches/falls, a knife, or guns. I've heard this story twice - someone gets knocked out in a...

    Solving Posture from First Principles

    EXECUTION 
    I think two truths can exist at the same time. General fitness, stretching exercises, and core work can help someone achieve a good posture. Plenty of stories where people significantly improve posture by simply going to the gym. Some need a physiotherapist to tailor exercises to specific weak...

    Solving Posture from First Principles

    EXECUTION 
    This clarifies it for me, and I've been following this for a while. Even though I've been active for years, doing various sports, I've got lordosis that hasn't improved, despite all the other (positive) changes. What I'm wondering about is HOW - will you be creating a course with guided...

    Holiday Savings: Get a MacBook Air for $250

    I'm not from there, but I got it in the US. This random pick on FB Marketplace worked amazingly until I left it on the couch and sat on it... As I understood it - the Macbook has "less power" on paper, but it's more efficient - it doesn't need as much power to perform the same task. That is why...

    Holiday Savings: Get a MacBook Air for $250

    Macbook works on any budget. A used Macbook pro for $500 will beat any Windows laptop priced below $1500 new when it's needed for work that doesn't require specific capabilities like editing 4k videos. I literally just got a brand new gaming laptop with a 4 GB Nvidia graphic card, 16 GB RAM...

    Holiday Savings: Get a MacBook Air for $250

    There in nothing better for work than a Macbook. My previous one was a Pro from 2017 or 2019, which I got for $450. It was the best laptop I ever had, never lagged even with 30+ tabs open, every click had instant reaction. I cracked the screen though... Now, I got a "super-powerful" gaming...

    21yo. Parents already millonaires but want to make it by myself.

    INTRO 
    You should re-do primary school, so you could at least communicate clearly. "Never make ads, just put a CTA or viral organic videos"? So, about a billion that's spent on Meta and Google ads (combined) DAILY is a waste? Companies should just do TikTok videos instead? Alex thought this and...

    How to turn my "Specialized skill" into a "Specialized unit"

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Maybe it's different in other parts of the world, but when I bought a new iPhone, I was offered to insure it for like $10 a month at the dealer's store. Whatever happens to it, even if it's my fault (don't even have to hide it), they'll fix it or give me a new one. Can OP really compete with...

    Business Pivot

    IDEA 
    Am I reading this right? People are asking you where to buy high-end products that are only available in the capital (and only maybe), so there's demand but basically no supply yet you're asking if you should start a blog? Person: "I want to buy a wheelset that costs $3000!" You: "How about a...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey! It's back online, but I'm not really doing anything with it. Every now and then I get a good client, but Fiverr is super unreliable. I was Top-Rated for a long time, even Pro briefly, but one negative feedback and you're back to Level 2 or even Level 1. The algorithm pushes you back to...
