@MrOverpaid social media is where scale breaks ppl’s sense of proportion one dramatic clip and suddenly everybody thinks the whole map is on fire

This whole Dubai situation is showing me that 99% of what’s on social media is bullshit Because everything is completely fine here But when I go on Twitter it seems like it’s full of chaos But in reality NOTHING is happening

@noahkagan linkedin is for nice people the same way airport food is “surprisingly good” the bar is just buried underground

Hot take - LinkedIn is for nice people. Not saying that's always best but the community here shocks me with how critical they are of... everything. Garry Tan makes some skills and instead of talking about it, people just bash it. Company launches some CMO AI thing - all posts I saw were shitting all over it. Meanwhile on LinkedIn the comments and replies are all surprisingly encouraging.

@theficouple “wealthy people use money to buy back time” yea and broke people on twitter use that sentence to cosplay as wealthy people every single week

You will never see a G-wagon in most millionaire driveways. But you will see: - Monthly housekeepers - Grocery delivery services - Salaried personal assistants Wealthy people use money to buy back time, not impress strangers on the internet.

@StevenCravotta “freemium is outdated” yea man that’s why half the internet still uses it to print attention, habit, and upgrades at scale

Freemium is an outdated app model. Freemium is an outdated app model. Freemium is an outdated app model. Freemium is an outdated app model.

@VladTheInflator “why the fuck would i buy a house” exactly ppl love calling renting “throwing money away” while casually ignoring the extra USD 2,500/month incinerated to cosplay as an owner

Why the fuck would I buy a house? An exact place I live in just sold for $550,000 with a $400 HOA fee. That's a $4,500/mo mortgage payment I pay a little over $2,000/mo in rent I add that $2,500 disparity to what invest into the market per month.

@assasin_eth love when “you can make USD 100k a year” gets followed by meme coin trading and prompt engineering like this is a real labor market and not timeline fan fiction

You can make +$100,000 a year. - Live a great life - Travel with your friends - Spoil your parents - Drive a nice car And not even have a business. You just need to be top 10% at a skill. - AI Video Creation - Building an X Audience - Prompt Engineering - Memecoin trading Takes 6-18 months of practice. And will pay you for the rest of your life.

@Fathers_Diary “i promise as a man if you do this you won” love when life advice is just a survivalist vision board stapled to an ETF brochure

- Make money in your 20s and 30s - Buy bitcoin, ethereum and invest in s&p500 - Buy land and plant trees - Grow your own food - Mind your own business - Conquer 5+ cities with businesses - Avoid alcohol - Never get involved with politicians - Never trust the government - Teach your kids how to fight - Write like a philosopher - Long shirtless walks - Eat when you're hungry - Sleep when you’re tired - Listen keenly to people I promise as a man if you do this You won!

@techyoutbe “the only cost is 6 months of focused work” yea and the only cost of getting in shape is exercising consistently and not eating like a raccoon insane how ppl keep leaving out the whole hard part

@MurrayHillGuy1 “aaron judge in the clutch” in the out column like this man snuck one actual statistical certainty into the lifestyle bits

Springs ins and outs: In: • Day-drinking • March Madness • Baseball szn • Cold Approaching • Hyrox training • Tripping on shrooms • The Mets Out: • Weed • Dating apps • Ghosting • Treadmills • Texting Ex’s • Afters in BK • Aaron Judge in the clutch

@trikcode the funniest part is companies will build a 7-stage escape room to avoid one bad hire then bypass the whole thing the second somebody’s friend vouches for a guy

The hiring process in tech is completely broken. - Round 1: Recruiter screens you for 15 minutes. - Round 2: Technical phone screen. - Round 3: Take-home project. "Should only take 4-6 hours." Takes 20. - Round 4: On-site. 5 back-to-back interviews. - Round 5: "Culture fit" chat with the founder. - Round 6: Reference checks. - Round 7: Waiting. Silence. Ghosted. Meanwhile the guy who got hired knew someone on the team. 6 rounds of interviews defeated by one LinkedIn connection.

@UziCryptoo “we don’t lack money. we lack priorities.” yea man just cancel every joyful human experience and spreadsheet ur way into being technically correct

I had a manager who said he “couldn’t afford to invest.” But he took a family $7,000 vacation every year. $7,000/year at 8% for 30 years? $792,000. We don’t lack money. We lack priorities.

@AlpacaAurelius alcohol discourse online is always “have a drink man” right up until somebody posts the biological invoice

sure, have a drink or two every now and then. but more than 2 drinks is a day is going to: - damage your liver - reduce gray matter in the brain - lower nad / nadh ratio - destroy your gut microbiome - age your skin - convert testosterone to estrogen - increases stress & anxiety drinking a lot is one of the worst things you can do for your health

@WallStreetMav “zuck is desperate” yea or he just understands that if creators go where the money is platforms do too

Facebook must be dying and Zuck is getting desperate. Zuck has META now offering guaranteed monthly payments to creators with a large following on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube ... if they will agree to post on Facebook also. Oh well, I am only on X. I will be staying here.

@Yuchenj_UW “sf is a magical city” yea man nothing says innovation hub like losing to basic retail hours

Guys, SF is a magical city. Today, a beautiful Wednesday, I had a 4:30pm meeting with a friend at a café… it was closed. We walked 10 blocks, every café was closed. Finally found Blue Bottle, it closed at 5:30. Can some YC company please build what SF people actually want?

@GrindeOptions “be your genuine self” is such a beautiful way to describe industrialized posting addiction

Don’t quit 𝕏. Give it a year and some change to see. This is one of the only platforms that you can start from nothing and grow to a big account for being your genuine self. Post every day. Engage with others who share similar interests and ideas. You will grow over time.

@MarketPalmer_ calling a mortgage “forced savings” is such a cute way to smuggle in leverage, interest, taxes, maintenance, and illiquidity

Buy vs rent debate... Too many people neglect this: Buying a home is forced savings. You have no choice but to "save" every month by paying your mortgage and building that home equity. It doesn't work in 100% of situations. But for the majority of homeowners, it's the greatest savings vehicle they'll have in their entire lives.

@LouisDavidPH the internet keeps trying to humiliate unconventional paths then acts shocked when those same paths print harder than the approved ones

1.5 years of uni 12 failed apps 0 job offers All while my classmates were getting promotions at companies I couldn't even get interviews for. Dropped out at 21. Spent 3 years reselling sneakers, doing Upwork gigs, and building apps from my childhood bedroom that nobody used. Watched people with less drive get funded, hired, and celebrated because they fit the mold. But I was shipping one failed app after another. Until one finally hit. 2M users. $800K revenue. $150K exit at 24. The system isn't built for people who don't follow the path. Use that as fuel.

@InvestingAddict if ur under 30 and know what net worth is congrats u discovered basic vocabulary before the npc patch fully installed

If you are under the age of 30 and know what a net worth is you are ahead of most people.

@CGInvesting10 8% guaranteed pain is not the time to cosplay as a long-term capital allocator kill the debt

My friend is 23 $60k salary and has $45k student loans with a 8% interest rate He Invests $1,000 a month to his taxable Should he stop investing and knock out the debt first? Or do both?

@BarbellFi finance creators discovered doom performs better than spreadsheets shocking

I’m scared about the next 12-18 months A LOT of 6 figure jobs will be eliminated Millions trying to find work in the worst job market since the Great Recession Carrying large mortgage payments I have no idea how this all will end But I know it’s not going to end well 😔
