AirPods Pro with dekoni bullet tips. Oh My f*cking God! I have used the AirPods gen 2 for a long time. Made the switch over to the pros. I hate siri. But dang man. Not operating my phone is a blessing. Siri will pause my podcast, music or audiobook and read my text. She'll answer my call. Or hey siri, turn on anc. Well worth the price.

They are under $200 right now as well. Bargain in my opinion.

I’m seeing $250 on apple.com... That just seems ridiculous to me. Are they really worth it over the regular AirPods?

The ANC in on of itself is worth it. I absolutely love them. I paid $189 for them. They are totally worth it. At least for me they are.

These are the tips: Dekoni Audio Premium Memory Foam Earphone Tips for the Apple Airpods Pro - Dekoni Audio

Those have helped quite bit as well. Getting a better seal is the key.

So awesome to hear that our government now thinks that if you sell your business they are entitled to 43.4% of the proceeds.

I'm actually happy I'm in the back-half, to back-third of my life so I don't have to be around long to watch the glorious end to this country, and the monstrosity that arises from its corpse.

I’m 25 and I can tell you that my generation and younger don’t even know what the words “capital gains” mean unless they studied business etc in college.

We are headed for economic disaster unless this turns around.

Wanted to tell the forum that I had a huge success this weekend, but not ready for a thread yet.

Ive had a sports/outdoors-related product in the works for 2 years now, and had little traction in the beginning because of my poor online marketing skills.

This weekend I sucked it up and signed up for a booth at a trade show / outdoor market kind of thing.

Sold 10 products easily (around $500 in sales in one day - my first time to do this). There wasn’t even much foot traffic. People were talking about my product! It was unique at the event I was at.

I’m planning to go to more of these events, give out business cards, print a banner with my brand on it, and direct REAL LIFE customers to my website instead of using the “host and pray” strategy I’ve had in the past.

Effort and hustle really are underrated. I thought I could outsmart the low level process and I was wrong. More to come!

edit: I made a thread: EXECUTION - TheChosen1’s Brand Progress

YouTube CEO Wojcicki Gets 'Freedom Expression' Award Sponsored by YouTube

Some people mocked Wojcicki online for receiving an award that was sponsored by her own platform.

www.newsweek.com

One day I gave myself an award during a ceremony organized by me for a movie I had written, shot, and edited myself and where I was the only one playing.

It's called the Monfii Globe.

Actually, funny, i was about to write here that the fastlane had some beautiful days ahead due to the fact that (according to business INSIDERS), Gen Z was going to earn much less than previous generations because of less growth.

Gen Z is going to have a hard time getting rich

Gen Z is set to earn a third less on stock and bond investments than millennials, Gen X, and boomers.

medium.com

About that, I heard on a podcast that the switch to renewable energy was going to be a problem for growth as petrol is the densest energy source there is and that the industrial revolution wasn't as industrial as it was energetic.

Sometimes I read comments online by people with their political takes and I'm just like - why even try to do anything when everyone is a socialist these days?

It's very disheartening.

I read and think, "what would a Sith Lord do?"

Probably get a very high government position, tax people to death (optional step, you can just skip to step 3 or go through other variations like war, hyperinflation, disasters, disease, etc), and then confiscate and control everything.

If we look through history, we can see this exact pattern done by the most infamous people.

I haven't used shampoo or anything for years, skin feels way better... all natural.

Think all the chemicals used in body washes etc just drys out the skin, so not total insanity here.

Why?

Lotion is made out of “chemicals” and it moisturizes the skin.

So why couldn’t body wash do the same thing?

Heck if I know, I feel alot better just using hot/cold water.. when I used to use soaps or shampoos my skin would always be really dry and itchy, using just water solved all of my problems.

From google,
Maybe it's bro science, but it works for me.



There is definitely a market out there for someone to capitalize on and make billions if they could come out with some natural alternatives.

Same thing with tooth paste, all that fluoride crap and whatever else is in there isn't exactly good for you aswell.

The vice president mandating the government by 1000s of copies of her book... crazy.

Anyone posting videos on or spending more time watching videos on a Youtube alternative? If so, which platform and why did you choose it?

The corruption is so commonplace that they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Politics have become all about personal gain.

I much prefer a part-time politician who has a career elsewhere and experience in the real world. Better yet, make it a retired person with bountiful wisdom and experience who doesn't need the money.

Both good ideas!

If you ever feel bad about some of your choices, remember that someone somewhere is paying 80k a year to do a master in marketing.

We are entering the era of personalized medecine already. Why not subscription-based personalized care products?

You have a gene that makes you sensitive to ingredient X, then we'll make a custom formula that uses Y instead.

There is an acne website that does this.... don't remember the name.

Only make comparisons to your past self. Just imagine if everyone used this type of comparison. All humans would say "I'm not as bad as that other person" and that person would say "I'm not as bad as that other person who makes $10k less" until there's only one person left.... the logic doesn't work.

I think you might be talking about proactiv, seen them do alot of celebrity marketing, there's a company here in Vancouver that does subscription based laundry detergents, 7 figures in a few months..

Imagine being so lost and clueless as an entrepreneur that you don't start your business based on a need or a product, but with a business model.

"The Big Short".
Quite an entertaining movie, based on the events that led to the 2008 financial crisis.

Kind of exciting to watch them develop the story for the sequel!

Anyone have an interest in comic books? Looks like a huge collection going up for auction, court ordered (which means estate sale, IRS confiscation, or something else) while I'm not familiar with comic books as investments, I'm betting this collection is worth a ton of $$$.
