@skumWgmi You can still find it if you look hard enough in the right parts of the country. Given they’re not very attractive

I genuinely feel sad that current 20 something's missed the era of $500 rent, $3 happy hour, 5 bags of groceries for under $100, multiple job offers immediately after applying, and going out to party without social media apps at your fingertips. IT WAS A TIME.

you wake up and reach for your phone before your eyes focus. scroll through a hundred thoughts that aren’t yours until your own voice sounds like someone you used to know and by noon you’ve consumed more information than your grandparents did in a year but can’t name a single thing that actually moved you. the feed keeps serving up other people’s lives and you keep swallowing them whole, mistaking the fullness for satisfaction when really you’re just bloated on nothing. you’ve become a processing unit instead of a person and the loneliest part is how normal it feels.

Pulled out a personal Gold Amex to pay off my tab at the bar this weekend. Guy beside me asked if it was “daddy’s money” If you still believe a Gold Amex or anything alike to it “wealth” you’re a midwit

@coookwithchris @oasishealthapp Rotate between a Smithey and Lodge cast irons. Both are amazing cookware for primary use, can disregard much else outside of regular Steel Sets.

@rooosterx All major cities now, such a scam

Hey man want to go to the bar we always go to for NYE except you have to buy a $100 ticket and it’s so crowded you can’t order a drink?

Some life alpha: If you are determined, ambitious and hardworking, life will give you a lot of opportunities to succeed by allowing you to find spots in which you can press for an advantage. You can think of your day to day as mostly being uneventful as you press yourself up against the wall of opportunity. Months go by and often nothing happens. One fine day, without warning, a crack on the wall will appear and you will be able to reap what you have been sowing for the past couple of months/years. The time from pushing to reaping is indeterminate, random and extremely frustrating. Most people will give up long before it happens - for 2 reasons: 1) their patience is finite, fragile and thin and 2) they are easily distracted by the things that don't actually matter. (hint: MOST things in life don't actually matter ex-post) When you are chasing an outcome, you will find a hundred distractions in your path and conjure a million reasons on why you should give up. -- But if you are earnest about your goals and have the patience of a monk and the drive and tenacity of a warrior - the wall will break. Reality will crack under your will. Everything else is a distraction.

I have a friend who does $500M+/year revenue and another friend (young kid) who cashflows $2M/month on crypto. Before both of them found success, they had started three or four different things at once. A lot of people thought they had a “lack of focus” because they pivoted constantly. But eventually they hit a winner, and then they 10x'd on that one thing. That’s a pattern I've noticed with people who build successful businesses. They try a ton of different things, find creative new ways to acquire customers because they're not locked into one channel, and then go all in once they find what works. But not everyone can operate like them. That’s why I still think being focused when building is good advice providing you have something worth working on long term. But for a certain type of person, the "lack of focus" early on is exactly what helps them find the real opportunity. The trick is knowing which one you are. And then having the discipline to 10x on the winner once you find it.

All it takes in your short life you have is to try enough to find the spark in one thing you pull yourself through and gaining enough momentum to be successful in almost any other thing you wish to do in your life. The trying and failing until you get to a systematic routine of things that just work brings that success. Carrying that similar blueprint structure when you pivot into new seasons of life is what creates “luck” in anything you do. You are a completely different person every time. Brute force and solid structure will always bring you the lessons you need to learn and you will prosper once you understand your problems. Being a forever student to understanding what you don’t know keeps you flowing.

If you can figure out how to configure your default state to be slightly amused rather than slightly annoyed you pretty much enter God Mode

People are crying and complaining about Bitcoin going below $100k like it wasn’t just this year it was celebrated for even touching it. Wishing that it would even get there was a pipe dream for over a decade. It’s best that you just sideline yourself eternally at this point.

How about instead of wishing for a $2,000 check from the Government, you start a business, get a 2% Cashback Credit Card and run $100,000 a year or more in business expenses through it. You can get as many stimulus checks as you are good at spending money. Poor mindset.

15-Year Car Notes and 50- Year Mortgages. We’re just speed running into “you will own nothing and be happy” at an unprecedented rate.

@favelaoverlord High Quality Cast Iron. Necessity in the Kitchen

birthday coming up - what are things you guys have bought or been given that have improved quality of life significantly?

@notcamcasey He’s a grifter anyways who got exposed not even a year ago. Should be ignored.

I hope the younger generation doesn’t see this as cool or normal or a good idea this is called financial stupidity

@mikefutia Banana

Nano Banana + n8n is legitimately insane 🤯 Google's Nano Banana creates studio-quality static ads. But manually generating variations one-by-one takes forever. This n8n automation generates 1,000+ ad variations in minutes. Fully automated. Perfect for DTC brands & media buyers who need fresh creative for testing without hiring designers. Here's the problem: You need 50+ ad variations to test angles, but Nano Banana only outputs one image at a time. Manually uploading and tweaking prompts for each variation kills hours. This n8n automation solves it: → Upload ONE product image via n8n form → OpenAI Vision analyzes your product automatically → AI generates custom image prompts (you choose quantity: 50, 100, 1000+) → Nano Banana creates static ad images in bulk → All images auto-stored in Box for instant access No manual prompting. No designer bottlenecks. No waiting on agencies. What you get: → Hundreds of unique ad variations from one upload → Different angles, backgrounds, compositions → Production-ready static ads → Perfect for testing creative on Meta/TikTok Built 100% in n8n. Want the complete n8n template? > Comment "BANANA" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

How life feels when you realize you can just do things

Your day will automatically be 7x better if the first thing you do in the morning, once you wake up is tell yourself how lucky and grateful you are to live the life you are living right now Being completely in control of everything you do and the decisions you make Few

@gioblaze0069 Godspeed.
