I rarely watch TV series but this may be super good (I played old school Fallout 2 for months when I was a kid):

I played a lot of Fallout 3 on PS3 when I lived with my cousin in a farm house in my early 20s. Good times.

There is a show called "Silo" which was fantastic. It was based on the books called Wool. I'm not watching the fallout trailer beautiful it sounds like something I would enjoy, but Silo is kind of similar in post-apocalyptic style.

The new Godzilla movie out of Japan looks super awesome. Might be the first movie I'll go see in theaters in about 3 or 4 years.

Adam Taggart has left Wealthion and gone independent with his "Thoughtful Money" brand. His new YT channel has a video from a recent New Orleans Investment Conference. Here he moderates a panel on Money, with some of my favorite talking heads (Lyn Alden and Danielle DiMartino Booth).

I've read the Wool books, and the show is fantastic so far.

Animal shelters over capacity all across the US. It bothers me to the core that people are just ditching their pets in record numbers and using the economy as an excuse. Id rather be homeless than give away my dog. I wish we could stop sending money to Ukraine and all these other countries and help fund our shelters and programs to stop this. I know a lot of you on here feel the same.

Turns out my preferences are akin to a 21 year old who attends EDC and raves, not a 50-something living in the middle of Mormon land.

It's not so accurate anymore though. I've had a stressful few months and let's just say, I can now totally understand why guys in their 40's may start gravitating toward something more akin to yacht rock lol.

I almost bought a ticket to Mr Bungle yesterday. 200 bucks a ticket is annoying though.

RANT: Just saw a clip of Dana White trying to do an Instagram live video where he was interrupted multiple times by fully grown men asking for selfies with him. If I saw someone I knew doing this, I really don't think I could ever respect them again o_O

A pilot flew a plane in to some clouds, got disoriented, and completely freaked out. The Tower helped him get level, and gave him a heading to get out of the clouds. He was fine afterwards. At first I thought it was a prank, then I was completely horrified.

I would say about 20% of the total development hours on GoalSumo.com have had One Day They'll Know (Odesza Remix) in the background on repeat mode. If I listen to music while developing, it's normally one song on repeat so I don't get distracted. About 50% of it is just noise-cancelling airpods in with nothing playing. I used to listen to music a lot more last year but this year not so much.

It's interesting how often successful people (top 10 forbes) talk about having a good team.

P. S. But if anyone hurt from his team it was Steve. He has hired a lot of "team" to the point where he didn't own a single share in Apple and was thrown out by a "professional" CEO who Steve in 1980s has confronted about releasing a two shitty products in a row that cost them billions.

Damn, this ad has just hit:
  1. The special scam
  2. The event scam
  3. The money scam
  4. The shortcut scam

That's 5/8 scams from Unscripted hit in one image.

Not bad...

Psico cybernetics is the most mind opening book I've read since The Millionare Fastlane which I've read in 2017. It feels like super powers and I'm already seeing results not only professionally but some visualization felt like 1 hour with the psychologist (actually the one time I went to one I didn't felt 1% of what the visualization did for making peace with traumatic events that happened a long time ago). Really an amazing book.

It's SO refreshing to deal with a competent, professional, and articulate support team that solves your problem in 5 minutes. I find it mind-blowing how few companies offer good support.

Really, what do you get in return for hiring people who can only repeat what's already published in the knowledge base or can't do anything themselves without referring to "senior team"? Might as well use a bot for your support then.

Nice. I'd recommend reading it completely. The visualization for traumatic events it's right at the end of the book. I finished it a couple days ago and I'm loving it.

After implementing an idea on YouTube videos @MitchC posted a while ago, I've got my first YouTube short to break 2,000 views, and still going strong. It's given me a few ideas on how to iterate and experiment, thanks for the tip!

Does anyone know how his books get to appear on his Twitter profile? I checked my Twitter profile settings and don't see any options. I'm a premium member too so that can't be the answer.

I've lost the post (going to have a search this afternoon)

The tip was to take shorts, and if there is a drop off in viewers, cut the short where people start to drop off.

I took a 30 second short, edited it down to the first 10 seconds that seemed to hold attention, and YouTube is rolling it out to people. Weirdly music using model-repetition over sequential harmony seems to be working best but I need to test that a bit more.

I’ve been so much happier and just appreciative for the small things in life. It really changes when you turn to something spiritual.

I used to never pray or do any of that, and I got angry a lot, procrastinate and just overall terrible mood 24/7.

I wake up with a smile, get ready happy, go to school happy, learn happily, come home happily, go to sleep happily and look forward to tomorrow happily.

I get so happy because of a bird I see. The nice sun rise I see, the stuff I learn, Any Opportunity I get it sparks something.

Lesson?


It’s you and God. That’s it. Live life happily knowing God has plans for you

I do believe reality to be an unfolding of teleological events and their actualization of human potential.

It’s kind of like the deepest meaning to the saying “everything happens for a reason”.
