some of the insufferable maggots of our society aren't happy about it

As for the morons, the last laugh's on them. They live their life miserable complainers.

He made a follow up video in which he tried to justify his miserable comment.

Started moaning about capitalism, wealth inequality and the "unfair system". He is now playing the victim and doesn't understand why people are disgusted by his tweet.

I've looked at some of his other pathetic videos. This is one of the biggest narcissistic socialist loser I've ever seen.

I’d rather personally pressure wash driveways every day than be a copywriter.

Posting this here because I couldn’t find a way to get in touch with @MJ DeMarco

So, here it goes:

I've been a huge fan of your work.

Recently came across your latest tweet.

I loved it and generated a few variations of it.

I wanted to share those with you because I believe would resonate well with your followers and potentially generate even more engagement.

I would be honored if you would consider using one of my suggested tweets to see how it works.

Of course, I understand if you prefer to stick with your original content and I completely respect that decision.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your reply.

P.S: If you'd like to take a look at the tweets I write, you can check out my profile here:

Just copy, then do it better.

95% of what I do is copied (and done better).

Why selling others' stuff when you can sell yours?

Writing copy for you > writing copy for others.

Is there some news worth knowing that has come out? Other than apparently eggs are going to give me blood clots now, that was a good one.

I read a funny comment about how everything is giving us clots now, but everyone ignores the elephant in the needle.

Not really.

I keep seeing stuff about inflation & bank of Canada rate moves. It’s not publicly available through regular news. Quite the opposite! But it’s consistent with my thinking. Today I got external validation from an event I attended too. Market is pricing in rate cuts before year end in 2023… I like the open forum discussion on Twitter that’s not “backwards looking”.

Take a look at one of the earlier Anton Kreil seminars on YT - if you're genuinely surprised that the mainstream news aren't telling you the facts, you most likely have quite a few illusions about their role in the game. Spoiler: you and the public are not their clients; never were.

If you know someone that complains a lot at their day job, they might be an entrepreneur and not know it.

Netflix anti password sharing measures seem like such hassle. Basically Netflix use outside of home will have more hoops to jump through:

Confirmed: Netflix Unveils First Details of New Anti-Password Sharing Measures

Signing into Netflix outside of your home may lead to the device in use being blocked from Netflix. This could prevent you from signing into new devices while traveling, but Netflix has devised a workaround.

Traveling users who want to use Netflix on a hotel smart TV, company laptop, etc. can request a temporary code from the service when signing in. This will give them access to their account for seven consecutive days.

All that, just to scroll for 15 minutes and decide nothing looks good enough to watch.

Twitter may well be the best for real news.

I don't want to touch the 'real' vs 'fake' news topic, but I will say Twitter has always been best at figuring out what the hell is going on locally when some "event" happens.

I remember a few years back I woke up to what sounded like an explosion in the distance. I almost never check Twitter but it bothered me enough to think of it and I searched for something like "(my suburb) explosion" and there was a dozen folks explaining that a propane tank on a school roof exploded, followed by photos and videos of the aftermath and emergency crews and everything else. I was literally experiencing the event unfold in real time.

Same thing when I saw a few fighter jets fly by. Not really a concern since that happens a few times a year but I was still curious and sure enough - within seconds of it happening I found Twitter updates of folks explaining that it was a planned training exercise, they were coming and going from/to wherever, with photos and videos of the jets from all over the city as people were seeing it.

I'm honestly surprised Twitter doesn't have a push-alert system for when a lot of people in your area start talking about something at the same time. Like an emergency alert system, but actually useful. (If they do have this, I've never received such an alert).

The Nextdoor app is helpful for local news but it's always too after the fact for me. More live than the local city subreddit for my area, which is admittedly sleepy.

If you earn 12k/year before taxes in Belgium, you're left with 4k after taxes.

All we get in exchange is terrorists in the street, sky-high energy prices, and 105% of debt-to-gdp ratio

So nice!!!

 

[Ing]

In Germany you dont get employees. So if you own a business, you can’t scale with employees. What would be a good strategy to yse that as advantage?

Multimillionaire "Mr Beast" cures 1000 people of blindness and unfortunately, some of the insufferable maggots of our society aren't happy about it, deploying tropes about "capitalism" "rich people" and "universal healthcare."

This proves that no matter what you do, culture's morons will take issue with it unless you kneel at the alter of communism.

America is beyond repair.

Curing the blind in the religious historical background also happens to be a miraculously act.

Doing a show like this risks people perceiving Mr Beast trying to use money to “play god”.

Well I woke up to my furnace being broken.

Normally wouldn't care but it's currently the coldest day of the year at -40 where I'm at. For that wondering, that's the same in both C and F because at this temperature, both imperial and metric agree that it's just too F*cking cold.

Don't forget that your 4k left over is then spent on more things that have taxes on it. I don't know what goods cost there but there may be taxes tacked on that you see, and then taxes tacked on that you don't see that are baked into the cost of goods. So yea... let that sink in.

The government is not your friend 99% of the time.

 

[loop101]

It's kind of weird seeing a Chinese spy ballon hovering over our ICBM launch pads, and the American government basically just waiting for it to go away. I assume there is a lot more to this story. Maybe it's an EMP, prepping for the Taiwan invasion.

I heard someone recc bowtiedbull and his ecosystem on twitter awhile back so I had been poking around that in my free time checking out his writings on setting up a business (and ecommerce through bowtiedopossum) and how his students have done.
One of the guys in the system will mentor you in 90 days to suit up and land a remote cybersec job starting around 60k.

Thing is, I spent 2.5 years in college studying cybersec and busting my @ss to learn IT networking and I started at like 34k just 5 years ago. Jesus people have it so good now with internet access and being in the right place at the right time. I reviewed the cert stack he recommends for the sector and it looks like a good backup plan but I would rather eat roofing nails then end up in another job at this point, unless I could hit over 70k/yr and have hopes of being able to finally replace my vehicle.

The other thing is that it made me look back on the path I took out of highschool and all the room for optimization. I didn't know anything and had to rely on my college career counselor but there was so much room for improvement. I'm assuming the sting of hindsight will be a recurring theme more often as I get older?

Not for me.

At some point you realise the squiggly bits on the map are what makes the journey, and it's the journey that makes us. Shit happens, and while I don't welcome it or look for it, it's just part of the rich tapestry of life.

Oh, and to begrudge people five years our junior having it easier is to not be grateful for what our ancestors struggled through to get us to here.

In some ways people who have it easier also have it harder because of it.
