    Cool, but what about the microplastics ?

    QUESTION 
    I really really admire and love and respect that you have your potential product's lifecycle in mind. Ultimately, you have to weigh the pros and cons and see where your moral compass points you. It will be absolutely impossible to have an idea that has zero negative impact. This is something...

    1/12th of a year at a time - a progress thread

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    5/12 I don't have much to say for May. Today is my first day as a Senior level staff member - I got the "promotion" and a ~$43K salary increase. I'm excited to continue hammering away at my debts, student loans and my car in particular. I've already been aggressively paying on them, so I...

    The lifestyle, hobbies, and fun thread.

    HOT! CHAT 
    I'm getting back into trail running and training for a tough and beautiful mountainous trail run in October. It has been a few years since the first (and only) time I've done it, and it was amazing. I've also been hiking and biking a bit. Anyone else use Strava? Would love to connect with you on...

    how can i learn coding?

    WEB DESIGN QUESTION 
    I suggest video tutorials. You can probably find some on YouTube. I also recommend codecademy.com. Maybe find a tutor. In my experience, the best way to learn is through hands-on experience, not through books. Google is your friend.

    Your comment makes me think of a couple human-psychology things. First, the bandwagon effect. Not in the sense that you're agreeing with or thinking like the other commenters on that guy's post, but I wonder how many times we all don't make a comment because subconsciously we don't want to go...

    Anyone else feel that when eliminating social media type shit, you'll miss out on opportunities/needs/current atmosphere?

    MINDSET SOCIAL MEDIA 
    A few of my thoughts, for what it's worth: 1. Start with a problem you see/hear around you when you don't have your attention on your phone/social media. 2. Google Trends and reviews/comments on websites that are relevant to what you've chosen to work on. Chatgpt. Send out surveys/polls. Talk...

    Anger Issues

    MINDSET 
    It seems like you're on a good path forward! I agree with a lot of what you and others have said about diet, exercising, cutting back on weed, meditation, and not dismissing anger altogether. I think of anger as a secondary emotion - there's almost always a deeper reason/emotion for the anger. I...

    I need help

    MINDSET PEOPLE 
    I can relate to this! At probably around double your age, I have a lot of friends who either dismiss entrepreneurship or are too afraid to do anything other than work and invest. Keep showing up to the forum and in time you will find value in this community and maybe even make a few strong...

    One of THE BEST ways to evaluate YOUR idea (apart from CENTS) and the (fourth) best book for fresh, wanna-be entrepreneurs.

    EXECUTION 
    While there is often great value in constructive criticism, I'd just like to remind you both (@Subsonic & @farahead ) that you're quite young in the grand scheme of things. Don't be afraid to take some risks and fail in the learning process. Again, constructive criticism and developing critical...

    Confused between following my dreams and risk it all and a stable life

    That really is a tough decision to make. Maybe you can write down all of the positive and negative things about both options to help you sort it out more? You could also try using MJ's matrix/score thing (sorry, can't remember what it's called) for making big decisions. What would your visa...

    4/12 I'm a bit behind... Let's see. Work: It has been keeping me pretty busy. In addition to some recent travel, the project idea I submitted back in February was accepted to move on to the next phase of the process. Over the course of a few weeks I had to develop the full scope of the...

    Tips for asking better questions

    Absolutely. Listening and actually paying attention to what others are saying is also really important. Even if you're not asking questions to solve a problem, learning how to ask questions to show interest and curiosity in conversations significantly helps build connections, make you more...

    Tips for asking better questions

    If this post reduces the number of times "should I do this??" shows up on the forum by even just one, I'll be happy. I agree that common sense and self-awareness are critical life skills, but I feel we're often only taught/guided enough in our most formative years to survive. To really thrive...
