  • Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds

  • I don't know about that. Tiktok, Lamborghini, Tesla, Krispy Kreme, The Dollar Shave Club, Tupperware, Rolls Royce, Costco, Trader Joe's, Go Pro etc all do little to no traditional advertising and do just fine.

    Not that there's anything wrong with some advertising to get the word out, but when you're getting spammed with ads from every angle, that company starts feeling a little scummy to me.

  • The way I've always looked at it, a good product/service can typically stand on it's reputation. If a company needs to spend millions on advertising to move their stuff, they're probably not all that good or are overpriced. Someone is paying for all that advertising and it always ends up being the consumer.

  • Do you ever go out, and while you're out, you think, ‘this is exactly why I don't go out’?

  • Not sure if I am but thank you, I always try to help anyone who needs it. My buddy is terrible at fixing things, so I've been doing a lot of work for him and his mom.

  • If it was planned out and some beer was involved it would have been a lot better IMO... I had already spent the entire morning mowing my buddy's yard and trimming trees for him, so my batteries were already low before all that happened.

  • Last Sunday. A friend asked me to go with him to town, normally I say no but I figured I would just because I usually don't.

    We went to town and went to a store. As we were about to leave, his truck wouldn't start. (The starter was fried.) Ended up having to walk a mile and a half to his nephew's place, then got a ride back to my friend's truck, towed it to his brother's shop, and after borrowing some tools I ended up pulling the starter off a car in the middle of a field, and installing it in his truck so we could finally head back home.

    What was supposed to be an enjoyable hour or so ended up taking most of the afternoon and I ended up covered in oil and mud and sore as hell by the time I finally got back to my house.

  • Not sure if he was aiming there or for the head and was a little low. (caught him in the lower left neck just above the clavicle)

    Either way, not a good spot to get shot... a lot of blood instantly came out.

  • looked like a front shot to the neck in my opinion.. a LOT of blood instantly leaps out so it must have hit an artery.

  • Varies wildly for me but usually whenever the opportunity presents itself, although it mostly ends up being cats. I always have cat food and water outside near my back door for strays. Two days ago I brought a can of wet food for a feral momma and her kittens on the other end of town. (Trying to make friends with mom, but not much luck so far.) Was leaving veggies out for a deer that was living in my backyard this spring until she moved on. Occasionally put stuff out for the birds when I can. I also don't mow certain sections of my yard and my daughter's yard much because the bees love the clover that grows in those spots.

  • Sure, there's still some value in the protests, but that's only one of the first steps. Meanwhile project 2025 is already nearly halfway to the finish line. https://www.project2025.observer/en

    Please don't take that as any form of defeatism or anything. I know you guys can do this and win, but every day counts... and they had this planned for a long time.
