@EconguyRosie Gonna be stagflation. Everyone thought we were gonna be in the roaring 20s but we’re gonna be in the 70s instead

@DLCDonut Women say this shit after aborting a billion babies in the last 50 years

I cant believe all modern morals started 2000 years ago in one region of the world and before that, and outside that one location, nobody thought murder was wrong

@ClarenceWongCRE @TylerPurcell24 Makes no sense. So if they have a bad month you won’t be upset if they don’t pay rent? Have to share the downside too

@RedactedDeGen @TylerPurcell24 It’s the whole idea of “sharing some upside”, esp. if you’re charging below-market base rent.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. What happens next is this: - Landlord tries to get laundromat owner out of lease as quick as possible so they, their cousin, or their friend can own/run it.

@Houst0ned @the_transit_guy Elon musk did it

@RedactedDeGen @the_transit_guy Good idea I’ll just start a bunch of companies and build a bunch of things and I’ll be the next richest man, never thought of that

Damn if only the airlines didn’t block bullet train service in Texas.

@Houst0ned @the_transit_guy Ok start a company and build it then

@RedactedDeGen @the_transit_guy So I’d still rather have a train option now what

@ClarenceWongCRE @TylerPurcell24 Charge the market rent regardless of what the store earns. If they lose money will you share the losses with them? No. So increasing the rent because they’re doing well makes no sense

@TylerPurcell24 What’s fair for this scenario where laundromat is at under mkt rent? Incorp. % rent w/ some natural or artificial breakpoint perhaps?

@hell_line0 When did women turn into incubators? The birth rate isn’t really going up. They must be doing a bad job

2022: “Stop overreacting, they won’t overturn Roe.” They did. 2023: “Stop overreacting, they won’t let women die rather than get an abortion.” They did. 2024: “Stop overreacting, they won’t arrest women for miscarriages.” They did. 2025: “Stop overreacting, they won’t turn women into incubators.” They did. 2026: “Stop overreacting, they won’t attack mifepristone.” They did, today. Now: “Stop overreacting, they won’t go after birth control next.” They will.

@LifeMathMoney @TetraChad You are Indian

If you think broke people are uncultured, you haven't met too many rich people There are more Epstein Islands, and more of these rich people on these islands than you think Also I find it funny that you seem to think that being their slave is a good thing Your loss of freedom to travel is yet another hold they have on you

Spirit Airlines going under is a good thing. Travel should go back to being the exclusive right of people with money. Budget airlines have made the world objectively worse by allowing uncultured broke ppl who are basically feral animals to run rampant throughout the world.

@HMisterSir @jzxltr @Brandondoyle A car isn’t a basic need for a teenager. It’s the perfect opportunity to teach them how to work for the things they want

@RedactedDeGen @jzxltr @Brandondoyle A car is literally a basic need, moron

SON SELLING RUGS UPDATE: It worked 🚘

@EeeOsborne Shrooms and light ketamine use. Ecstasy a few times a year Stay away from weed

Gonna stop drinking, Can yall recommend fun drugs to do for beginners

@kootybobbers Just say you have rich parents bro

Just quit the fuck out of my Big Tech job with nothing lined up because it was totally and completely crushing me :)

@DrNeilStone No one ever claimed vaccines that have been around for years don’t work The argument is around how many to do at a time to avoid hurting babies and on experimental vaccines like the Covid one

I can't figure out if vaccines work or not. Tough one. Need Sherlock Holmes on this one.

@FrailSkeleton Third worldification of America

OK if u don’t know this…a lil $3-5K donation to ur kid’s public school “for the principal’s discretion” is an insane hack to getting any favor u ask for going forward

@em_Lazzy Maybe the kids in Africa should’ve figured out how to put rockets in mars then they’d be the trillionaires

The fact we are going to have our first trillionaire before everyone has access to clean drinking water is proof our current system is not for the greater good but for the greedy.

@KiraJW What if the mom drinks raw milk and the child dies in the womb?

We officially live in the dumbest timeline. And I think if you give a child raw milk and that child dies, you should be charged for their murder.

@SwannMarcus89 Right? I’d make like 20k a year working summers in college

I feel like an asshole for saying stuff like this but how the fuck are you 34 and never made more than 20k a year? Are you lazy or retarded?

@Clara_Gold @EdLatimore Nassim Nicholas Taleb might call this being “antifragile”

@Clara_Gold @EdLatimore The only way out is to make rejection irrelevant When fundraising that means bootstrapping enough ARR that you can always pay for the basics In dating it means having enough self esteem that you don’t take rejection personally. You do this by having a rich life outside dating

I realized fundraising was the first time in my life I got rejected at scale. And honestly, as a woman, I was not emotionally trained for it. Before the feminists come for me, let me make my point. I think the first real arena where most people experience power, desire, status, and rejection is dating. And dating trains men brutally. A lot of men learn very early that if they want someone, they have to walk across the room, risk looking stupid, get rejected, survive it, and do it again. They learn that rejection is volume, timing, targeting. It’s a numbers game. A lot of women are trained very differently. Especially if you’re a pretty girl, you don’t usually walk into a bar looking at a guy thinking: “Can I have him?” You only think: “Do I want him?”. You don’t build your identity around shooting your shot 100 times and surviving 99 no’s. You don’t get trained to ask directly, get rejected publicly, and act normal 5 minutes later. You get trained to be “chosen”. To be impressive enough that the opportunity comes to you. And then you start building a company. And the whole paradigm changes. Suddenly, everyone can say no to you. Investors say no. Candidates say no. Customers say no. And when your rejection muscle is weak, your brain does the dumbest thing possible: it makes the “no” mean something about you. That you’re not smart enough. Not compelling enough. I think this is one of the most underrated gender differences in fundraising. Not that men are inherently better at it. But a lot of them have built thicker rejection scar tissue earlier. They know how to hear no and keep moving. They know how to make it less personal. They know how to treat it like volume, timing, targeting, iteration. I didn’t. I’ve raised 3 rounds. On the surface, the story looks great: I raised with Sequoia, OpenAI, Khosla. Woohoo. The real story is less sexy: every round wrecked me. I lost 5kg each time. I probably donated a few years of life expectancy to the cap table. Because every round, I only got 1 term sheet. One. EVERYONE else said no. And when almost everyone says no, your body does not care about the intellectually correct explanation. It only hears: Maybe they’re right. Maybe you’re not that compelling. Maybe you’re not the founder you thought you were. For a long time, I thought confidence meant learning not to take the no personally. I don’t believe that anymore. Maybe some people are built like that. I’m not. 30 years of being trained to be chosen does not turn into resilience because someone in a Patagonia vest says fundraising is a numbers game. So now I think confidence is something less glamorous. Confidence is taking the no very personally. Letting it ruin your day, losing your appetite, spiraling for hours… And still taking the next meeting. Confidence is just being bothered as f*** and not letting it make you smaller. I still don’t fully believe my own BS as I’m writing this, but I guess that’s the point. Can’t wait for the next round to find out.

@DallasMadeCraka Switch miller lite and coors light and coors banquet with bud light lime and Budweiser with Stella and you have yourself a list

I just wanna get the People going #Beer

@the_transit_guy Because trains don’t dictate how good a country is

I’ll just never understand how a majority of our elected officials don’t look at this and feel embarrassed.
