Crypto Father

@TheD2CWatch They should add a countdown timer in the announcement bar for how long they have until publicly traded brand @wearehims sues them for the trademark HERS.

A D2C supplement brand with ~1400 active ads on meta (~90% of which are direct copies of other brands): tryher.com This gummy claims to prevent infections, balance vaginal pH, eliminate odor, and make you naturally wetter. The entire formula is 100mg of pineapple powder and 15mg of a probiotic per 2 gummies. The gummies are likely fake and likely don't contain the branded probiotic SNZ1969. The listed probiotic strain is primarily studied for IBS and constipation. The National Library of Medicine says there's "no good scientific evidence" for other uses. The one study showing vaginal benefit used it alongside antibiotics. Not in a gummy. This brand is basically copying all viral Tiktok shop products (which is a whole other issue), downloading their UGC content, and running it to their website for their copy of the viral products. Same packaging, same design, they just swap the brand name. 99% sure the products are being drop-shipped from China and are very likely fake. Product link: tryher.com/products/hergu…

@TheD2CWatch You can't put 200-400mg in a dose. Go take 400mg of magnesium and see how quickly you run to the bathroom. FDA chimes in over 100mg.

No one is trolling. We have questions. 1. Why does a sports hydration product use carbonation, which peer-reviewed research shows slows gastric emptying during exercise? 2. Why is the magnesium dose 30mg in a recovery product, 7.5% of the daily requirement, when clinical studies use 200-400mg? 3. Why does a sports drink contain phosphoric acid, the same acidity regulator in Coca-Cola, also a known calcium antagonist. We're just asking questions about the product you claim is "redefining modern SPORTS hydration". I'm here to learn. Everyone is. Not sure why calling something out, or asking questions, is automatically labelled as "trolling" or "hating".

@herrmanndigital @IanCalderon Another lifelong politician who serves for ego

What does Eric Swalwell bring to the state that we haven't had with Gavin? Our state is going downhill and Eric's website talks about fighting Trump, and some housing BS that likely will not happen as nobody seems to be able to fix this. I don't believe he can get an app off the ground when our own state is so bloated with wasteful spending already and can't even get a train done in a timely fashion. So Ian please, I'm generally asking, what does Eric bring to the table?

I’m in! What about you?

@patrickbetdavid Gavin is an mediocre actor.

You have ZERO moral authority to criticize any of the issues below. Your policies caused your state to lose a trillion dollars of wealth, twice. There’s a reason why you’re only polling at 19% on a CNN poll. Even democrats fear your policies.

@chamath This is equivalent to the MANSION TAX in LOS ANGELES. Here are the results: 1. For every $1.0 raised, $1.38 in future property tax revenue is lost. 2. 40% drop in new construction permits for luxury homes. 3. 50% drop in luxury home sales.

A new @HooverInstitution study confirms what I’ve been saying for months. The CA Billionaire Tax has a negative NPV of -$24.7B. Meaning if this gets on the ballot and is approved in November, California doesn’t just collect less than promised, it actually LOSES money. This was dreamed up by SEIU-UHW to solve a healthcare funding problem that should have been solved by our politicians reducing waste, fraud and abuse in our state budget. Of course they chose to do nothing. Now it has blown up the state’s most reliable tax base. 71% of all 100,000 modeled scenarios = negative NPV and someone will have to pay for that -$24.7B hole. Who do you think California politicians will look to next? There are ~10M middle-class California households. If you do the math, that’s ~$2,500 per family. Not from billionaires. From YOU. What’s most maddening is Governor Gavin Newsom could have killed this before it went anywhere but he didn’t. He proves new all time highs for being incompetent and held captive. He now wants to do for America what he’s done for California. Buyer beware… hoover.org/research/net-p…

@CAgovernor Translation: "We spend more money on state workers than the rest of the country, even though we can't afford to."

Happy Labor Day! California is proud to be ranked the #1 state for workers. We’re leading the nation with strong wage standards, worker protections, and labor rights that make our communities, businesses, and families stronger.

@CAgovernor A governor “masquerading” as President

Introducing the world's largest helicopter firefighting fleet — here, in California. As the Trump Administration turns its back on public safety efforts, we're equipping firefighters with the most advanced tools for wildfire and emergency response.

@houmanhemmati @santamonicacity The progressive policy experiments have all failed. But the mob is brain washed.

I’m in Long Beach CA all week, staying at a hotel in the downtown area. Opposite of @santamonicacity with very few homeless, clean/safe streets, open businesses, tons to do, train that’s actually usable. Difference between far left & sensible government. Vote differently.

@spencerpratt “Don’t worry, we have assembled another task force”

Hurry don’t miss the words

🌊 Someone check in on the dude that quit his job and is sailing to Hawaii

Couples can’t afford children. Women are in the workforce for productivity gains. When you have a chance, you’re hit with multiple bills (even though you have health insurance). Then get 12 weeks job protection - forcing women to decide whether to quit their job or work and let their 3 month old baby sit abandoned in daycare. Meanwhile every medical professional says to breastfeed until 6 months of age.

Oof.

Simple solution: don’t buy a home you won’t stay in for 8+ years. Investing will likely outperform home cost depending on the location. However, at some point you’ll realize what’s the point in making money when you can’t call a place home? Having security for kids is most obvious.

man I just can't do it — idk if something is wrong with me I just can not justify buying a house as an investment this shit all feels inflated and overvalued and entirely mimetic and socially conditioned — and the opportunity cost is insane someone pls convince me im wrong

@wholemars These people are literally trained robots. They mobilize when their overlords instruct them to. The diner gets kids and adults excited about the future instead of instagram clout. Shame.

This is the email the Tesla Takedown protesters sent out on Wednesday to try and get people to attack the diner This isn’t about politics anymore. This protest movement has been taken over by $TSLAQ short sellers. Their only aim is to destroy the company. But after this week, I feel something I. the air. The excitement for the diner opening, all the excitement at X takeover… there are a lot more than of us who love Tesla, and we can overpower the few brainwashed morons in TSLAQ. Stand up in front of their face and tell them to go fuck themselves if you see them. What they are doing is pure evil.

"The automated buttons on the screen can provided tipping options of 15%, 20%, 30%, or no tip. Flipping the screen with the automated tip button can increase tips by 50%" Source: Magaziner, R.

You got TRICKED into tipping. You tip because the iPad screen makes you feel guilty. Not because you want to. The pre-set tip amounts are designed to make you tip. And the "No Tip" button is designed to make you feel guilty when pressed. So next time the iPad swivels around for you to tip, remember it's design.

@RickCarusoLA Sadly, Caruso was not elected for 1 reason. Because he has money. It's a weird paradox. Everyone loves going to The Grove, wants a safe home, and a better Los Angeles. But people have been trained into thinking "money means he is greedy!" and literally can't see deeper.

My grandfather immigrated from Italy and settled in Boyle Heights. He was proud to be a gardener. I always loved riding along with him and saw a lot of LA from his truck. That's where my love for this city started. There is so much good in this city. It's why I'm optimistic that things will get better. @Patharveynews @kcalnews

@CJSlattery @Airbnb @bchesky Airbnb supports terrible hosts with fake reviews, illegal listings, wrong addresses, then gives you an impossible time when trying to get help. I will never. Ever. Stay in an Airbnb again. Hotels all the way.

Biggest @airbnb nightmare ever and support is literally no help. @bchesky. First, we booked this "luxury" apartment which is $9,000 a month. We were supposed to stay here for two months. Multiple blatant lies on the listing like having a dryer. (doesn't) Mold, stains, filth, cobwebs in the apartment, and absolutely falling apart. Inconsistent hot water. We were there for a couple days while trying to find a new place and traveled to Greece to come back to the power off because the host DID NOT PAY THEIR BILL. We are now living in a hotel trying to get a refund. Airbnb support is not helping. The host is now threatening my girlfriend in Airbnb messages. Is airbnb support doing anything? No, they're doing nothing. The absolute lack of support in what is now a dangerous situation is completely unacceptable. Here's our "tour" when we got back with no power.

There is nowhere to hide. We truly don't understand what's coming. AI is on the brink of deleting so many jobs there will be protests in the streets. The only hedge is betting on AI through stocks.

Being a permanent bear gets you punished over and over again. Optimism wins.

Record ~$6 TRILLION are in T-Bills. When rates come down, that money is will seek higher returns elsewhere (assets).
