The [SCRIPTED] Vault (Dogmatic Social Engineering)
NOTABLE!Courtesy of Faceache, regarding the upcoming UK election: "What he is saying is the only thing that should matter. Not how he looks. Not how you judge his personality. His actual message. His policies. His promises. And you know, I really think he will try to keep them all, as much as he can."- Contrarian

Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.
NOTABLE!Great post! Now I feel bad for not being as polite as you. The reason this thread is irritating me so much is probably because reading it is a little like looking at my past self in the mirror, and not liking what I see.- Contrarian

Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.
NOTABLE!So, it's been about two weeks now... There's some nuggets of good stuff here. You've been getting up progressively earlier each day, and now you're actually waking up in the morning. You have some semblance of self-awareness, in knowing that you need to sort your shit out. You have actually...- Contrarian

Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.
NOTABLE!OK. I gathered you don't need the money right now, else you wouldn't be making the choices you're making. What you do need is discipline. When you're forced to become disciplined, that's exactly what you'll do. When it's ingrained in you, it'll be easier to keep the habit. There's nothing...- Contrarian

Fear and Action-Faking in Entrepreneurship-- a 19 year old's guide to askholing.
NOTABLE!I don't understand the point of this thread. The first post looked promising, but your diary since reads like a comedy sketch. What the hell are you doing with your life, @LordPhenny? Waking up at 4PM, dabbling with some crap for an hour or two and then watching TV into the early hours? Sounds...- Contrarian

The [SCRIPTED] Vault (Dogmatic Social Engineering)
NOTABLE!A while ago here in the UK, there was a lot of noise about mandatory pensions for employees. Sheep response: "Lord Government is looking out for me and saving me from those greedy capitalists!" My response: Hmm. Genius Ponzi scheme - siphon off everyone's savings into a convenient piggy bank...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONYou're welcome. In my case, sometimes you know you're about to make the mistakes you've already read about, but you're stubborn and have to see for yourself anyway. :) Ah, I don't disagree that they can be beneficial. I've just realised that they aren't right for me (and this arrangement...- Contrarian

Would you do this deal? Need the opinion of fellow entrepreneurs
HOT!Why would he invest $20,000 of his own money building a website for you if you haven't signed an agreement already? There's only three possible answers that I can see. Most likely, he's bullshitting you and therefore not to be trusted. Or He's reckless and lacks judgement, in which case you...- Contrarian

Anatomy of A Failed Fastlane (What You Can Learn From My Mistakes)
GOLD! EXECUTIONYup. And 90% of them don't last six months. But they give everyone else a good dose of guilt by association in the process.

Swim lateral to the riptide of mediocrity
EXECUTIONI love the humility of this. Right from the beginning... "I make decent pay, not quite 6 figures..." Mr. Everyman in your shoes, 11 months into the workforce, would be boasting about how much of a baller he is for making almost 6 figures straight out of college. And for most people the story...- Contrarian
