@Phoenix2A_1980s I’m fairly certain at some point reality split. I’m going down a different path than the one I was on 20 years ago.

@attackdogX Being hot with a foreign accent probably doesn’t hurt lol. Most American’s aren’t that nice.

British woman says she was “born in the wrong country”. She says “nothing comes close to USA” 🥹. She’s travelled to 27 different countries & says the USA beats anything she’s ever experienced. I sure do love people that love us. I’ve watched her videos & she & her husband are traveling all over the states, having a blast! It’s been so much fun watching America through the eyes of Europeans. This has been my favorite content 🥹. I just love that she loves America 🇺🇸

@ZyMazza Building data centers in space makes no sense, other than it sounds cool. Ai is a commodity more than a premium product. NASA contracts are hefty, but how many “scientific” missions are needed? SpaceX is overvalued.

I honestly think SpaceX is undervalued. It's like having an opportunity to buy into the East India Trading company in 1600.

@natserran0 @AlecTorelli A $140k in Fort Worth. $8700 take home per month. You can rent beautiful houses in top tier neighborhoods for about $3k per month. $8700 - $3k - $700 (nice car) = 5k left over

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately that's very hard to admit and took me about a decade to accept. America is by far the best place to get wealthy, yet one of the worst places to enjoy one's wealth. The average family has a better quality of life taking home 60K a year in a quaint European town than 600K in even a relatively prominent city in the U.S., say Phoenix or Denver. I say this after traveling the world full time since 2005, visiting 50+ countries and living in 7, as well as all across the States.

@goodproponent @sweatystartup It’s a. Old southern thing, I think it was seen as “vanity.” But, it quickly turned into obesity.

@sweatystartup I don’t see what’s wrong with trying to take care of your body

So many of my friends in the south refuse to do any longevity work because of this reason. I’m a Christian. You can believe in God and still do the 80/20 of longevity. Unfortunately a lot of folks don’t.

@KayRuth2125 @Jayysein Interstellar is like an autistic kid tried to portray humans as people. All of the characters are flat and uninteresting. The monologue is beyond cheeseball, the floating farm is cheeseball. Some cool spectacle moments but that’s it

@Jayysein Interstellar is wildly overrated. People need to be comfortable saying it. It's a decent movie. Leave it at that.

Timothée Chalamet and Matthew McConaughey reunited at the University of Texas, 12 years after playing father and son in Interstellar.

@alphafox Seems cheap. Let me exit my equity position from my house I’ve spent the last 7 years accumulating and hand it to these beauties. All that pain, suffering, working on the weekends to fix leaky pipes, cut the grass etc was worth it.

They are adding a third person in their poly relationship; if you're interested, it will cost you $250K up front to get with them. Applications can be submitted below:

@theficouple @Jacob_Naviaux “Retiring” has never been fully defined. I define it as no longer needing to work in order to sustain your lifestyle. You can be retired and still working by my definition. This American idea that you retire and just sit around is anti-social and anti-culture.

@Jacob_Naviaux @lance31329415 @Jacob_Naviaux my uncle retires this year from teaching after 25 years. Might have a side job now just for extra cash and seeing people. Will travel a ton..is he not retired?

Spoke with a couple who retired at 37 & 38: $2.2 million net worth and mostly from: - Home equity - Index funds - 2 paid off rental properties - Cash They're sitting in the shade today because they began planing trees in 2017.

@sweatystartup If you do both, start with existing businesses and make them profitable, then try and find that blue ocean, you’re likely to achieve much greater success than slugging it out with every Tom, Dick and Harry. I’ve seen people do both, I like the hybrid model.

@sweatystartup Depends on how you define it. Blue oceans exist everywhere. The real skillset is seeing them, it’s not about fully reinventing the wheel.

The blue ocean strategy is risky. It is expensive. You are often trying to force a round peg into a square hole. Blue ocean folks will spend months or years trying to invent something new based on a theory when there's no proven demand. I’d rather swim in a red ocean where I can pick an existing product/service with a proven business model in a proven market that's making money today. It's much easier and becomes profitable faster with way less risk.

@RobCherryCCP @collinsworth55 Maybe you’re just a square then. 🤷

@lance31329415 @collinsworth55 Indeed I did. But any time I did catch a wave it was still just like...woohoo.

Unpopular opinion: The two most overrated hobbies are boating and golf. Boating: too much work for the amount of fun. Golf: too much time for the amount of fun. What’s another hobby everyone loves that you just don’t get?

@Base58Check @sweatystartup Depends on the woman. I’ve met many brilliant beautiful likable women who are committed to their family and children. The introvert who hates everybody, can also cheat as well. In fact, if she isn’t likable, it’s quite possible she won’t like you either.

@sweatystartup This is horrific advice. Marry an inward facing women who’s focus is you and the kids. Highly social women tend to wander. Seen it before.

Marry somebody who is likeable and has a lot of friends. If you’re the only person in their lives, they will suck all of your energy. Plus you will end up with more friends and getting invited to more things if the wives like each other.

@skscartoon I’d love to buy space X, but the valuation makes no sense. Don’t be exit liquidity for smart money.

Who's ready for the SpaceX IPO? 🚀

@Jacob_Naviaux @theficouple “Retiring” for productive people just means you no longer have to work. At some point, once the traveling and gardening gets old, it’s quite likely they return to some form of work on their terms. “Retirement” is not a catch all for sipping margaritas on the beach.

@theficouple Can’t imagine retiring at that age. What do you do with your life if you hang it up that soon?

@Rags0910 @collinsworth55 Okay that’s fair. I cycle all the time on the roads, but I don’t ride like an idiot. Even as a conservative, the car centric/car dependent cities has never made sense to me. Loud, unhealthy, unaesthetic.

I agree by in large Americans are fat and lazy slobs. But this isn’t Europe and it isn’t about inconvenience. American kids up to adults are dumb in cycles and yes I’m worried about them getting hit anytime I see them on major roads in the Bay Area. Americans aren’t biking, most of them are lazy and on GLPs.

@Rags0910 @collinsworth55 I doubt you’ve ever been “inconvenienced” by a cyclist in your entire life. Many European cities have incorporated cycling into the culture, and people are less fat, the cities are cleaner and more aesthetic, and the culture is better.

@lance31329415 @collinsworth55 Agree it’s better than golf. But not better than tennis and lifting or basketball. Road cycling is a blight on roads.

@CumbrianFella_ I knew the UK and the Irish had a few patriots left.

I have a strong feeling something huge is about to kick off in Great Britain & Ireland and will make its way across Europe.

@RustyCohle11 @collinsworth55 Yes sir

@lance31329415 @collinsworth55 Damn, so not only are you awful at solving problems but you are a condescending prick as well

@Garmith80_6 @RobCherryCCP @collinsworth55 Fair, but to suck at something and say it sucks cause you suck at it just means you suck. I think golfing is lame. Has nothing to do with my skill level. Has to do with the fact that you’re hitting a ball with a stick into a hole. And obsessing over how you squeeze the stick.

@lance31329415 @RobCherryCCP @collinsworth55 Most people would suck at it.
