Writing about my journey to Catholicism (mostly for my wife, you can read too) thecatholicprotestant.substack.com/p/the-catholic…

Request for Commentary: Has anyone done a longitudinal study on the QoL impact that de-industrialization has had on American households? manufacturingatmit.substack.com/p/manufacturin… Posts like this one^ will often point out that software growth vs automotive growth is much better for our economy if GDP is higher overall, but what is happening at the median? If GDP growth occurs but the wealth and wage growth is only a small subset, is that actually better than lower GDP growth but spread among a large portion of the population? Any good articles/books written on this topic?

✈️👎 @AmericanAir damaged my suitcase, but won’t reimburse me because my flight landed after midnight—so their system says I “missed” the 24-hour claim window. Apparently I need a time machine to follow their rules. @Delta would you deny a claim like this? All over $200. Do better.

I’m working on a marketing system and I’m trying to get more reps with it. Can I help you? It would involve me interviewing 5 of your customers for free and then sharing with you my push/pull/anxiety/habit jobs-to-be-done analysis. Goal of it is to help you know both “what” to say and “where” to say it. DM me I f you’re interested.

@wescimm @aasthaanand97 I’m pretty specific and know the problem very well because I have the same issue as a fast-shipping mobile app developer. After this thread, some people with the same problem showed up in my DMs! I hope to improve my marketing to share this awesome tool with everyone 🙏🏻.

You build a landing page. You write the copy. You believe in the idea. Still 0 signups. What then?

Get more specific on the problem. People always think they KNOW the problem they’re solving, but if you don’t know where to find your customers, then you actually don’t understand their problem that well (because the context of their problem will make it clear where to find them)

@appdayx @aasthaanand97 How specific are you on the problem you’re solving? (The more specific you are, the easier it becomes to find your customers, because you don’t just know the problem they have, you know what exactly pushes them to need your solution)

@aasthaanand97 I'm in the exact same situation. I launched launchapp.today 3 days ago. I get 20 visits per day, but zero sign up. I launched it on ProductHunt, but it didn't make a difference as well. Now, I plan to cold DM people and write high-quality blog posts to improve SEO.

Never, ever, ever give up.

Me committing the same retarded sin after repenting hundreds of times for it.

@miaphysite3 We need to pray for Stuart and Cliffe. They’re extremely lost.

Cliffe and Stuart debate MIT student (Orthodox) on the Eucharist and Baptism [1/3] Video from TikTok @ igordomingues.

To use my gifts for the Kingdom—there is no higher calling. To be useful, in service of something that matters. Thanks be to God.

Have you ever spent hours with someone and realized they didn’t ask you a single question about yourself? Is this weird or way more common than I think?

Thanks for the wisdom from everyone who shared. Ppreciate you guys!

@NULLpointerXL This definitely depends on your role You want your sales/fundraiser to be taking meetings, not procrastinating them with “work that needs to be done first”

unpopular advice: say no to 99% of meetings say yes to 99% of deep work

@Bree_B_ Same for me. “Wait… we didn’t have a Bible for like 300 years after Jesus walked the earth?“ It’s crazy the level of ignorance many of us grow up with when we’re raised in the Protestant church

If you’re a convert from Protestantism to Catholicism what was the first thing that started to get your wheels turning? For me it was how we got the Bible. I had never asked how we got it I just took it for granted until I was presented with new information.

@IslingtonJames How do you become an insider/beta reader for The Hierarchy? Book 1 is absolutely insane. Best book I’ve ever read. No question.

Hey everyone, sorry for the radio silence - busy times. Holding off on posting my March progress update, because I want to include the official release date for The Strength of the Few... which should be announced around the end of this week! So stay tuned...

Rich people renting out poorer women's bodies so they don't have to birth their own babies is creepy and it's weird to me that so many don't see how gross and dystopian this practice is x.com/PopBase/status…

@carleolson Lol, the algo is too good at serving me tweets that it knows I’ll love

Exactly right. Catholic converts are idiots. Worse, they are arrogant, boring, banal, dull jerks. The Apostle Paul, for example, was a misogynist. Augustine? Complete loser. And don't get me started on Newman, who couldn't think or write to save his life. And Chesterton? Please. Whenever I see a convert, I spit at their feet and walk to the other side of the street. Down with converts! Up with broad-brushed, scurrilous, stupid tweets!!

@JDVance We are so back

Just google “ordo amoris.” Aside from that, the idea that there isn’t a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense. Does Rory really think his moral duties to his own children are the same as his duties to a stranger who lives thousands of miles away? Does anyone?
