@CultureCrave "I am very supportive of Chris's decision to cast me in this important role"

Lupita Nyong’o on the discourse around her casting as Helen of Troy in ‘The Odyssey’ ⚔️ “this is a mythological story” “I’m very supportive of Chris’s intention with it and with the version of this story that he is telling. Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defense. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not” (via @ELLEmagazine)

I'm in the painting business and run into these sort of objections all the time. There are a few factors possibly at play 1. Some people just do not know how to estimate a job. Maybe it's your competitors, maybe it's you. But a lot of people bid jobs and don't make any money at all, or overestimate everything. 2. Not comparing apples to apples. Maybe the scope of work is different between them, they're using inferior materials, using illegal labor, not carrying insurance, not paying taxes or WC, etc. 3. It might be your sales process. I have won bids where I was thousands more, but they trusted me more than others. You might need to work on building trust and showing value. 4. Some customers are just cheap and you won't win them over. Thank them for their time and move on to the next one.

I'm trying to figure out how to price seal coating and i need help from seasoned business owners. I overbid this by what seems to be a lot, and this guy was nice enough to let me know. How do I respond? It's a 19k sq ft lot that is in pretty bad shape and my competitors bid this at $5600, but my material cost is roughly $2.5k - $3k, meaning a minimal 2 day job nets ~$2.5k to 3k Gross which is terrible. What do I do? Is this a problem that is fixed with scale because I'd be able to knock out multiple a day? Or is it a problem where someone is just going with lowest bid, which I don't want to be at all - i want to be the most expensive, and I'll never win bids where people prioritize saving money over quality? Is this price vs value problem and i just failed to properly differentiate myself to justify a higher price? I need help.

@LibertyJen Yeah but then I would have to live in Flint, MI

There are currently ~487,000 home listings in USA under $250,000. Please stop lying that you *must* spend half a million dollars.

@GuyJones1111 But I was told if my kids were homeschooled this wouldn't happen

Couple years ago I met an older man who was teaching older boys in a classical Christian homeschool co-op. Asked him to get coffee so I could ask some questions and prepare for my son's future education. Turns out he was a subversive liberal. 1/2

@SalimForVA @charlie4va @GovernorVA Why is a guy named saddam azlan salim making laws in our country?

My statement with @charlie4va on @GovernorVA signing SB352 requiring all law enforcement officers to wear badges identifying them and the agency employing them and prohibiting the wearing of facial coverings:

@nikitabier A 1911

Next week I’m headed to Tokyo to meet with the X Japan team. What is the most American thing I can bring them?

@adventurer_avid @Mrgunsngear No Yes No

@svaladez @Mrgunsngear Do you clean your weapon? Do you paint shit on it? Do you pick the right ammo?

Reportedly footage the trannies live streamed of their attack at the mosque in San Diego yesterday. A Mini-14 (seems to not want to feed....) & shotgun can be seen in the footage. Plan accordingly... #CityLife #crime #islam #SanDiego #gay #HolyWar #california #tranny #mosque #masjid #enrichment #MCC #diversity #urban #trans

Good luck @oldstatemark!

If you didn't know anything about either of his characters, and I told you that one of these characters was a rich guy who did acrobatics and used gadgets to fight crime, and the other was blind and used echolocation to fight crime, you would be mad at me when I told you which one was which

Batman and daredevil are night characters for a reason. They look goofy in the day time

@TheCinesthetic Walton Goggins was so good they rewrote the whole show so Boyd survives. It's why he's noticeable absent for much of the first season. In the book, Boyd dies very early.

Justified (2010) is one of those shows where every actor feels perfectly matched to their character. Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins alone make it endlessly rewatchable with the way they bounce off each other every scene.

@UtahFlatRanger How about you just worry about Utah? I'm voting for Mark

This retard is trying to save his reputation, which is in the Gutter because when a LDS church was burned and four LDS members were murdered. He just absolutely had to point out that they aren't "real Christians". He posted this the same day a lunatic murdered four LDS members and burned down the meeting house.

@GovernorLittle @realDonaldTrump This Hispanic is voting for @oldstatemark According to chicken little that makes me racist

Honored to have the continued support of President @realDonaldTrump. Idaho, tomorrow is the day to get out and VOTE!🇺🇸

@MaxsBigMove @realEstateTrent Why waste hours answering some BS questions from chat gpt to *maybe* get a job from a headache customer, when I could go out and close jobs? There is plenty of work out there from clients who are less annoying.

@realEstateTrent You gotta understand sending someone a list of obviously AI questions is pretty rude. They’ve gotta spend time responding to something that cost you none of yours. Lots of law twitter accounts complaining about getting similar from their clients

Update: I asked if he still wanted to discuss the job, and he sent me this. He's so triggered that I brought AI into the discussion that he's walking away from around a $35k paint job. Fear of change is very expensive.

@realEstateTrent AI doesn't know everything. I gave grok the zillow listing for a home my company painted two weeks ago. I asked grok for a fair price to re-stain the exterior cedar. It was low by $4200. I wouldn't deal with a guy who wasted my time with AI slop either. Plenty of work out there.

@BasedDads Did Chicken Little pay you for your post? But anyway, Mark is right. Mormons worship a false god and follow a false prophet.

Idaho peeps, DO NOT vote for this guy for governor. He hates our faith and is a joke of a Christian. Idaho deserves better options for governor than between a wimpy refugee resettler who thinks most people are racist and Mark Fitzpatrick, a Californian who runs a bar in Eagle.

@Senators Haha, fags

@bbGuy2K @GKB518 Cook a little lower a temp a few more minutes on the lowest rack (furthest from hear source)

@GKB518 Anyone else have issues with the middle slice never cooking properly?

This is the best frozen pizza that’s ever hit the shelves

@ScVanValkenburg @AzlanSalimVA Salim is a foreign invader, and you're a traitor for supporting him

I think politicians have gotten too comfortable swearing in public but f*** this guy. @AzlanSalimVA is 100x the American he is, a guy who torches American values for clicks, likes and a pat on the head from Daddy Trump. Dumb ass sycophants like him are what’s anti-American.

@SepzenoOfficial Superman was awful. I hated it. He was Superishman. He spent the whole movie getting his butt kicked. Also the whole plot was stupid. It was a terrible movie.

Which movie is better? Bvs or Superman 2025
