2024.05.19 17:24 fiverruser1 How to *really* spend your time to grow business the most?
This might be a slightly philosophical post. But the aim is to get to the bottom of what you should be truly doing. To truly get the most results.
There seems to be a MASSIVE amount of conflicting information online about how to do this.
âDo stuff that moves the needle forwardâ
âDo stuff that brings in revenueâ
What does this truly mean though. And is it even the right thing. Thatâs the purpose of this post, to uncover.
When Iâve spent my time on actual needle-moving forward things, like taking business from 0 to revenue, doing all offer development, operations, sales process, marketing myself, it generally has taken me about 6 months to fully âtry outâ a business idea Iâve had.
Most times it hasnât worked.
Either it wasnât profitable. Or there was a big problem somewhere.
I believe fundamentally itâs because Iâm moving too slow.
Because it usually takes me around 6 months to âvalidateâ whether a business has good potential.
When you havenât sold it or developed expertise in it yourself yet.
And I would say about 5% of the time it does work.
So if it takes 6 months and only 5% of the time it works (where you bring in revenue, no major issues), and each time it doesnât work you try a new variation of it or something new based on what you learned, then it might take 10 years of trying different things to get the business to work.
Which sounds like it takes way too long.
So I thought about how the top companies move much quicker.
What separates them and my strategy.
And realized they simply had much more people on their team.
If you think about any successful organization who has achieved great things, and is world-leading, usually there is not 1 person on the team.
There seems to be a correlation between number of people on the team and speed of progress they can make in business.
Which goes against what most conventional startup wisdom tells you, most small business content creators etc all tell you to do it all yourself.
Which Iâve done for quite a few years and itâs gone so slowly in terms of overall progress.
If you should âdo everything yourselfâ then most Fortune 500 companies wouldâve had single founders, and 1 person on their team. But the vast majority of successful Fortune 500 companies had co-founders.
And most successful businesses I know of, had co-founders.
And as they succeeded, they got more people on the team, and these people helped bring more success, then they brought more people.
Obviously there can be bad staff and not everyone contributes to the success of the company.
But I do believe, based on this, and observing top companies, that generally the more successful they are, the more people were involved with bringing about the success.
Which completely contradicts most information given to startups about âlone wolfâ, âgo it aloneâ. If that were true, Google would have 1 employee. Apple would have 1 employee.
And they would have never gotten off the ground.
Anyway, I may not have explained this perfectly but I do strongly believe the more & higher quality people are working together on something, the stats show these companies tend to do better, and successful companies you see often have more people than less working on them.
From the very beginning and now.
Regardless of the stage they were at.
So going based off this information, that the more people, the better, I have hired 30+ different people for different roles. Over the past few years. Across different businesses. To help speed up the progress in different areas.
From marketing roles, sales process roles, web development, app development, customer service, delivery of services.
And I would say there have been maybe 1 or 2 of them where I was actually happy with the result.
Most times, I would hire someone to do a job, and they didnât do the job well, despite saying they were experienced.
And showing past examples of their work. And telling me everything I wanted to hear about how good they were.
It would often be that they would end up performing badly in the KPIs I set for them, giving many excuses, asking for help/questions/not solving anything on their own.
And just so many other problems. Like when there were multiple people at the same time on a team, working on the same project, they would blame each other and no one took responsibility despite clear responsibilities.
All telling me how other staff were bad and they were good, but getting conflicting info from all staff where they blame each other for everything so itâs difficult to know who to trust and who is being truthful.
Oftentimes not being reliable or doing what they were clearly asked to do.
Oftentimes trying to outsource the work I game them, to other people and not caring about the quality.
At my expense.
So I lost lots of clients, had low performing areas in the areas I hired for a lot of the time.
To be fair, things happened faster the more people there were.
But they often needed much more from me than they were contributing.
Like they always wanted to get paid more, for doing less work, werenât reliable, did low quality work, didnât hit KPIs, missed clear deadlines, always gave excuses, blamed others/external things, always asking how âIâ wanted their job to be done, to the point where I was having to literally tell them every single thing to do and become an expert at their job myself, and show them how to do what they were put there to do, or do it myself, and still get a low quality result from them.
Anyway, the list goes on in all the problems I have experienced hiring people.
It really seems like a minefield.
But there were 1-2 people who did actually do well, who were responsive, who did what they committed to do, who hit deadlines, who did what they were asked, who didnât give excuses. Who were actually honest hard workers who figured out how to solve problems and actually do the job that was asked from them.
Because of the amount of people I hired and the very low % of people who seemed to do their job well, it made me think that I am probably the problem here. If so many people are doing a bad job and not doing what they were actually hired to do. When most other companies seem to succeed at hiring people.
Then it must be a problem with myself and how I am hiring and managing them.
So it makes me think I need to level up in how I hire and manage people.
Iâve tried lots of different businesses and variations of them and some have done okay, some have not.
Mainly the most success Iâve had is in my own freelancing, where I donât have other people on my team.
Because itâs kind of turned into a headache working with others. Who just seem to have mostly never been able to deliver what they promised without it becoming pointless to hire them in the first place with all the work Iâm doing on their behalf and trying to pick up after all the problems and failures theyâve done.
So Iâm not sure exactly what to spend my time and resources on.
I have money saved up from freelancing.
Where I can continue to hire people.
But I do feel Iâve had many many bad experiences.
And I believe itâs mostly my fault. Maybe my training, my hiring, my management, at places along the line Iâve not done it well enough.
Iâve tried to make improvements each time but it has kind of seemed like luck to get people who do actually do their job well.
I genuinely want to hire people and succeed in this.
Because if I can successfully work with people to achieve outcomes, rather than relying only on myself, I can build a real business and not just do freelancing.
In freelancing, I was able to make $3k-5k/month but it was very stressful and I hated speaking with clients, and was constantly stressed.
I generally really donât like socialising with people. Including clients and staff.
And staff often try to get me to socialise unnecessarily so they can avoid doing their job, and pull me away from mine.
So trying to make it work.
I want to make it work with hiring people because if I can do this, I can make 10x-100x-1000x faster progress with other people on the same team.
But I do have a very bad track record so far. So itâs kind of painful returning to it and continuing to have bad experiences.
But at the same time I know itâs me whoâs probably at fault because there canât be this many bad people Iâve hired and it surely canât be this bad for everyone.
I think the reason is that Iâve been better at managing myself and doing things successfully solo throughout my life.
Like Iâve achieved very good things in solo sports, in academia, and in many areas that donât require a team, but often become frustrated working in a team.
But I donât want my business success to be limited to 1 person.
So I truly want to make it work in improving my ability to manage (ideally a large amount of) people in a way where they can actually deliver and it work well.
Because I was capped in freelancing to making $3k-5k/month because I couldnât take on more clients because I was undercharging and overdelivering and couldnât handle more due to being massively stressed out and hating it. I was able to work with less clients at times and charge higher, but they never wanted me to âoutsourceâ my work to others or bring on a team, and I felt bad about it because had bad experiences where I had felt like I let clients down, and oftentimes they told me they had hired me because of me, and not wanted me to âoutsourceâ the work.
But I want to make it work.
Building a real business with a team. Not just doing freelancing and relying just on myself.
So I have time and money and resources to put into this.
I have 1 staff member currently who is unproductive. But we have an equity deal so it doesnât cost me money for them to perform. But costs me lots of time and their performance is extremely weak. Donât even want to go into detail, but itâs a nightmare. Their performance is about 1/10 but I believe I can raise their performance if I improve my ability to raise their performance.
Anyway. I want to build a team, but not sure exactly what activities are best ways to spend my time.
If I am physically making improvements, I feel I am slowing down the business progress.
Whereas I want to hire and manage people.
Iâve built training so that this co-founder is able to hire people. And these people can use the same training to hire people.
But I donât currently have training to enable them to manage people.
My fear is that without training, people just ask unlimited questions on how to do something in their role and it becomes pointless to have hired them because I have to do everything they should have done to do it, so they basically just become a robot following very specific instructions. Rather than a human being who can achieve things independently.
So for example, if I made this training, it would take up all my time, whereas I have savings Iâve accumulated from freelancing which I can put into either having the co-founder manage staff, or have the co-founder make management training at the same time to enable more and more staff to hire and manage new staff. To achieve overall objectives and KPIs.
Or I could have the co-founder hire someone to make the training.
Then that frees up my time, my co-founders, time and only takes financial resources to accomplish.
What I want to achieve, is a scenario where I can give staff KPIs and objectives, and they are enabled to hire and manage people who can meet these objectives. Independently without my help required.
They give feedback, and I have a system for feedback to internal improvements can be made based on staff feedback.
Without it being unfiltered, itâs structured and organised so people canât just get unlimited help/training/whatever from me.
Where they should be able to take actions, iterate, learn, improve, and act as independent thinking people who can achieve objectives themselves. Or within a system where itâs not all tied directly to me.
E.g. I have direct reports going to me.
But they have direct reports who go to them.
Previously I had a system where I did this, but then staff at the bottom of the hierarchy would ask their managers questions, and the managers wouldnât know the answer so would then ask me the questions, and so jumping over the managers and making me deal with everything.
Whereas I want to build a system where people can make business progress in their specific area, independently without everything going to the CEO. Only important/urgent things are feedbacked to the CEO.
This way I believe much faster progress can happen.
Because I wonât be bogged down by exponentially growing problems.
Like with how it works in any successful organisation.
Tim Cook has only a handful of direct reports. Who each only have a handful of direct reports. And so on.
Heâs making the most important decisions, dealing with whatâs most important and strategic, with top authority, dealing with everything as a birds eye view, but not doing every employeeâs job for them, teaching every employee how to do their job. Picking up the pieces after every employee misses their deadlines, doesnât do their work, gives excuses, does poor work that doesnât help the company.
Even in any successful organisation. Each unit/person is making their own decisions, taking their own action, learning from it, practicing themself at improving, gaining their own experience, not all relying on 1 person, every single person in the organisation, just for them to do their job.
In successful organisations, people at every level experience new problems all the time, and donât need to contact the #1 person at the top just to deal with it.
They come up with a solution and go for it. And iterate. Learn, try to do something better next time. And thereâs a constant learning/feedback process going on across the organisation which everyone takes part in, not just 1 person doing every part for everyone.
I believe this structure of modelling what actually successful organisations do is the correct way. Because theyâre successful for a reason.
Not this âhustle grindsetâ BS in the startup/business world where lots of information seems to be saying the wrong thing. It just makes no sense to make every single person 100% reliant on you for them to do their job.
Anyway so Iâm thinking about what I should do with my time.
What I want to do, is tell my co-founder what to do, which involves hiring and managing people who do things that move the needle forward in the business, as defined by me, and some of those people also hire and manage people. To have an exponentially growing system of people growing the organisation. And a communication and feedback and learning system and autonomy within the system itself so it can take action, learn, grow, thrive. As a system within itself.
I believe if hypothetically, I did everything myself, then it takes about 6 months to âvalidateâ whether a business has good potential, and 5% of the time it does. So if I do everything myself, I believe it will take me 10 years to get a business off the ground.
But if I utilise my money and time more efficiently, I can have as many people working on each part involved in validating these businesses as possible.
I donât know if that is lazy or smart.
I believe itâs both. But mostly smart. Because I believe I can convince, hire, organise, manage people to either work on equity deals or pay in a way where businesses can realistically bring in profit.
My co-founder does very little of what I ask him to do.
And he wants me to be doing individual things.
He objectively is financially and intelligently very poor and has very minimal skills or experience.
Not to be offensive. Just to paint a picture. So since there is conflicting information everywhere in the business world and you need to choose who to trust, I donât trust what he believes.
Objectively I am much richer in all these areas than him.
So I used to operate on a democratic system with them. But itâs kind of like, in a vote for president, if you have 80% of the population being easily controlled by the media and being very dumb and easy to sway and manipulate into believing anything, and they vote for things which are objectively dumb and go against what the smartest and objectively most valuable people vote for, I donât want to be held back by a dumb population having authority or being listened to, if they have a clear, long track record of making very bad decisions.
If you were to take business advice from a homeless person with no experience, money or intellect, or a Fortune 500 CEO, who letâs say objectively has massive experience, money, intellect and success. Then I would probably take what the CEO has to say.
If you had to listen to what a scientist vs 12 year old had to say about a scientific topic, youâd probably want to listen to the scientist who studied the topic and is well respected in their field.
So I believe it would be dumb for both of us, if he made decisions, objectively.
But at the same time itâs difficult to truly know what the truth is.
The Fortune 500 CEO could be telling you what you want to hear, and could have an incentive to lie to you to send you in the wrong direction with bad business advice so you donât become competition to them, and the homeless person could be honest.
The scientist could be trying to gain fame and get attention to themself to build their career on a lie and fake experiments whereas the 12 year old could be a science savant.
So itâs difficult to truly know what the truth is.
If I should listen to him or myself.
Objectively.
- I believe if I spend time building the business via this logic Iâve described above, it can grow much faster, with unlimited people working on it and performing well, if the necessary improvements are made.
- And I believe if I were to do the individual things necessary to do it, it would take 6 months to âvalidateâ eachâs potential. I.e. try everything in that timeframe to make it work, build a good service/product, build good sales process, build good marketing, deal with customers, etc, all on your own.
Whereas in the first option, other people could do all these things.
Human development over history has happened due to the input of millions, if not billions of people.
There wasnât 1 person who did all the work to get Carnegie or Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg to gain the success theyâve achieved.
They all build an empire off the backs of others.
Did the slave owners do the slave work themselves when they brought slaves to America? No.
Does Elon do all the individual parts necessary to grow the company? No. He leads and controls the people in order to do that.
Does Mark Zuckerberg single handedly get Facebook off the ground? No. There were 10+ people involved. He stole code from others. Who sued him.
All of these people had exponentially growing staff as the company grew, as fuel to grow the company.
So if you have the money and strategy to lead them to success, I believe it surely is possible.
So long story short this is a long rambling piece of writing but I believe thereâs very little impact 1 individual person has on the success of a company. Controlling and amassing an army of people who build the company up and contribute to the company sounds more true.
Does 1 person do everything involved in every sports team? No. Each player plays their respective part. Directed by the coach/manager.
Does 1 person do everything involved in musical orchestras? No each musician plays their part. Directed by the conductor.
And so on.
If you can build an exponentially growing team of staff who effectively work together, bring others on, take action to grow the business, learn from mistakes, make improvements, are highly motivated, are led successfully, it can achieve great things. I feel like itâs a delusion that individual people single-handedly grow companies without others.
So what should that person spend their time doing?
Doing all the millions of things necessary to grow the company? Or bring and manage others who some make progress themselves, some bring and manage others, to gain more and more resources to make progress at faster and faster rate.
Do successful people really have only 1 person responsible? No. They have teams of people behind them.
So trying to do the work of 1,000 people as 1 person sounds 1,000x as hard as getting 1,000 people to each do the work of 1 person.
So if you can finance the growth of the company via hiring others.
Letâs assume I can finance this exponential staff growth. Then surely I should do it right?
Like if I were to compete with 1 person trying to grow their business, and I had 1,000+ people, all doing their jobs effectively, being organised, working as a system not all relying on me, the competition where itâs 1 staff member on average would get beaten.
And surely any excuse you could give, I could just hire someone to solve that excuse.
Like âoh but what roles do you hire these people to do?â well I could hire someone whose role is to figure out what roles they should do. âBut what if x?â well I could hire someone whose role is to solve that too. And so on. âOh but do you have enough money to pay these staff?â Yes. And I can hire people whose job is to bring in money. Whether itâs fundraising, raising from
Did Hitler fight WW2 with 1 person? No. He fought it with millions, if not hundreds of millions of people.
Did Amazon/[insert any Fortune 500 company] get to their size today from having 1 staff member who did everything? No. They had thousands if not hundreds of thousands of staff.
Did any successful mom and pop shop/small business get to their size today from 1 staff member? No. They are one of the largest employers in the USA. Which means they hire a lot of people. Successful mom & pop shops generally have more staff the more successful they are.
Armies generally have more success the bigger and more effective they are.
Companies generally have more success the more staff and more effective the staff are.
So surely we shouldnât hold ourselves back, to use the example of war, itâs like trying to go to war with others who have hundreds of thousands of people in their army, with just 1 person, yourself. Who is going to win? Them.
How are you going to compete with companies with way more staff, and way more effective staff than you? You would have to become exponentially more effective as 1 person which I just donât know if itâs realistic.
I think itâs more delusional to believe that 1 person can do as well as 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or more people who are each as effective as that 1 person.
So if you were to win, you would probably want to expand your army/staff and make them more effective, rather than try to make yourself somehow perform on the same level as armies/companies with thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Itâs just delusional to believe you can beat them in my opinion.
In business, youâd have to be extremely skilled at hundreds of different skills, spend 10+ hours on 100+ individual areas of the business each week to compete with 1,000+ staff who, if performing effectively, would crush you.
This is just my thoughts.
Am I being delusional? Come onâŚ
I just feel like this is the way. Just look at the most successful organisations in history. Was it 1 person?
No, 1 person cannot realistically win a war against 100,000+ people. No matter how good they are. They would need to be top 0.00000000001% in skill in the world at what theyâre beating the other side at.
Could 1 footballer beat a football team of 100 people of equal ability than them? No.
Could a company of 1 person outperform a company of 1,000 people? No.
So I believe if I can solve the ability to do this, I can grow a team of unlimited size to conquer and beat any problem thrown at us.
Itâs just down to control of people.
Money doesnât exist.
Even biggest most successful companies in the world mostly didnât get there on their own.
I believe less than 1% of Fortune 500 Companies were bootstrapped. Or something similar.
And this is what Iâm saying.
People in the small business/entrepreneur world tell you you need to have everything yourself.
How are you going to outfinance, outcompete companies on complete other levels without acquiring these resources from others? Just relying on yourself.
How could 1 person get more financing/investment in a company from investors compared to 1,000 of equal ability.
Itâs never 1 person âbeating the worldâ. Or beating the industry on their own.
Maybe if your aspiration is to be an average business.
âOh but you should do what is best at each level, and itâs different for each level. Start just by yourself until you get X revenue. THEN hire peopleâ
âŚ..Well if you struggle to get X revenue on your own, how are you ever going to hire others?
The others help you grow the revenue in the first place.
I feel like the small business world is too overreliant on the founder and delusional about the capabilities of 1 person when competing against units 100-1,000x + bigger than them.
Come on.
Anything you want to compete in. In business.
Generally you already have competition.
And if you manage to somehow âspotâ something theyâve âmissedâ, they could just copy you and wipe you out with their massive resources anyway.
In my opinion you need to expand your resources as FAST as possible.
Not this BS âoh wait until you get X profit on your own to hire other peopleâ
Well if youâve only made good profit on your own as a freelancer, and youâve spent a lot of years trying to get a business off the ground solo, what are you meant to do?
âOh just make it workâ Great advice.
I just feel like thereâs too much delusion into what it actually takes.
In a job or as a freelancer. Itâs easier to make $3k-5k/month revenue because youâre only competing against individuals.
But when you try to compete against other businesses to make $3k-5k/month profit, youâre competing against businesses with 10x-100x the people, the money, the resources, the everything, to beat you.
So how are you meant to realistically beat them on your own? Without expanding your resources as quick as possible.
So because of this I believe if 1 person on their own is somehow meant to take a business from $0 to $10k/mo profit, then surely it will happen quicker if more people, of equal ability, are trying to make the business $0 to 10k/mo profit.
To be honest I donât know what the truth is. This is just what I believe the truth is.
Because Iâve consumed so much wrong information from people acting like they have the correct advice in business.
All Youtube videos, articles, courses, claiming to make you successful in business, when in reality itâs just advice that sounds either easy to say or easy to hear.
Like itâs easy to say as a comment to this post, a response that takes 5 seconds to write, like the first thing that comes to your mind, like âjust figure it out on your ownâ. But thatâs not necessarily the truth, itâs just easy for you to say as a commenter. Comments arenât necessarily the truth.
And on the other side business advice is easy to hear. Like âwork on your own, make $1m/month, move to X country, live the life, working 2hours/dayâ which is just pure delusion. And most of the time the content/adviceâs purpose is to benefit the business who made it, not the receiver of the advice. Because itâs selling a course or they have ad sense so they just want maximum engagement and views.
And anyone who is successful in business doesnât need to give any advice. Because theyâre applying the advice. Not giving it. Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos etc have no strong incentive trying to help others get to their level because they could just make an extra $10M-100M from spending the same time/energy/resources giving advice into growing their business.
Theyâre never gonna have advice that would help you beat them because otherwise they wouldâve applied it themself.
And they are actually incentivized to not want others to truly succeed. Because it means more competition for them and less success for them.
So 99%+ of info online just seems like itâs not true.
Iâm trying to figure out what is true and what isnât.
Honestly though itâs difficult to even trust what anyone says in business. Any advice or feedback. For the reasons given.
Because 99% of feedback is either from people who havenât truly grown a successful business, or itâs not related to you, or it involved luck, or itâs just like a motivational quote they tell you, or itâs a snarky comment they tell you.
Itâs only helpful to them. And you are actually their customer or viewer or their entertainment. Not a successful business yourself. Because itâs just all misinformation that all contradicts with the truth.
So not even sure if itâs worth trying to get advice or if itâs all just pointless, just to figure it out myself from experience, trial and error and learning from my own thinking than relying on any other thinking.
Anyway do you think this is just crazy and Iâm going crazy or is there any truth to what Iâm saying?
Let me know your brutal honest feedback

2024.05.19 17:24 AbandonedStark What makes you think the stock will go 1000$?
5-10$ range is likely, but what makes yall think itâll go up to 100$-1000$? The company got delisted before and itâs just a penny company with no real values. How come do yall think it promises 1000$ and is not a meme stock? The history of the company isnât promising at all and they havenât done anything differently. Also, how long do you think itâll take until it goes to 100$ and 1000$? How likely is it seriously? Is the shorts squeeze really that big?

2024.05.19 17:24 fiverruser1 How to *really* spend your time to grow business the most?
This might be a slightly philosophical post. But the aim is to get to the bottom of what you should be truly doing. To truly get the most results.
There seems to be a MASSIVE amount of conflicting information online about how to do this.
âDo stuff that moves the needle forwardâ
âDo stuff that brings in revenueâ
What does this truly mean though. And is it even the right thing. Thatâs the purpose of this post, to uncover.
When Iâve spent my time on actual needle-moving forward things, like taking business from 0 to revenue, doing all offer development, operations, sales process, marketing myself, it generally has taken me about 6 months to fully âtry outâ a business idea Iâve had.
Most times it hasnât worked.
Either it wasnât profitable. Or there was a big problem somewhere.
I believe fundamentally itâs because Iâm moving too slow.
Because it usually takes me around 6 months to âvalidateâ whether a business has good potential.
When you havenât sold it or developed expertise in it yourself yet.
And I would say about 5% of the time it does work.
So if it takes 6 months and only 5% of the time it works (where you bring in revenue, no major issues), and each time it doesnât work you try a new variation of it or something new based on what you learned, then it might take 10 years of trying different things to get the business to work.
Which sounds like it takes way too long.
So I thought about how the top companies move much quicker.
What separates them and my strategy.
And realized they simply had much more people on their team.
If you think about any successful organization who has achieved great things, and is world-leading, usually there is not 1 person on the team.
There seems to be a correlation between number of people on the team and speed of progress they can make in business.
Which goes against what most conventional startup wisdom tells you, most small business content creators etc all tell you to do it all yourself.
Which Iâve done for quite a few years and itâs gone so slowly in terms of overall progress.
If you should âdo everything yourselfâ then most Fortune 500 companies wouldâve had single founders, and 1 person on their team. But the vast majority of successful Fortune 500 companies had co-founders.
And most successful businesses I know of, had co-founders.
And as they succeeded, they got more people on the team, and these people helped bring more success, then they brought more people.
Obviously there can be bad staff and not everyone contributes to the success of the company.
But I do believe, based on this, and observing top companies, that generally the more successful they are, the more people were involved with bringing about the success.
Which completely contradicts most information given to startups about âlone wolfâ, âgo it aloneâ. If that were true, Google would have 1 employee. Apple would have 1 employee.
And they would have never gotten off the ground.
Anyway, I may not have explained this perfectly but I do strongly believe the more & higher quality people are working together on something, the stats show these companies tend to do better, and successful companies you see often have more people than less working on them.
From the very beginning and now.
Regardless of the stage they were at.
So going based off this information, that the more people, the better, I have hired 30+ different people for different roles. Over the past few years. Across different businesses. To help speed up the progress in different areas.
From marketing roles, sales process roles, web development, app development, customer service, delivery of services.
And I would say there have been maybe 1 or 2 of them where I was actually happy with the result.
Most times, I would hire someone to do a job, and they didnât do the job well, despite saying they were experienced.
And showing past examples of their work. And telling me everything I wanted to hear about how good they were.
It would often be that they would end up performing badly in the KPIs I set for them, giving many excuses, asking for help/questions/not solving anything on their own.
And just so many other problems. Like when there were multiple people at the same time on a team, working on the same project, they would blame each other and no one took responsibility despite clear responsibilities.
All telling me how other staff were bad and they were good, but getting conflicting info from all staff where they blame each other for everything so itâs difficult to know who to trust and who is being truthful.
Oftentimes not being reliable or doing what they were clearly asked to do.
Oftentimes trying to outsource the work I game them, to other people and not caring about the quality.
At my expense.
So I lost lots of clients, had low performing areas in the areas I hired for a lot of the time.
To be fair, things happened faster the more people there were.
But they often needed much more from me than they were contributing.
Like they always wanted to get paid more, for doing less work, werenât reliable, did low quality work, didnât hit KPIs, missed clear deadlines, always gave excuses, blamed others/external things, always asking how âIâ wanted their job to be done, to the point where I was having to literally tell them every single thing to do and become an expert at their job myself, and show them how to do what they were put there to do, or do it myself, and still get a low quality result from them.
Anyway, the list goes on in all the problems I have experienced hiring people.
It really seems like a minefield.
But there were 1-2 people who did actually do well, who were responsive, who did what they committed to do, who hit deadlines, who did what they were asked, who didnât give excuses. Who were actually honest hard workers who figured out how to solve problems and actually do the job that was asked from them.
Because of the amount of people I hired and the very low % of people who seemed to do their job well, it made me think that I am probably the problem here. If so many people are doing a bad job and not doing what they were actually hired to do. When most other companies seem to succeed at hiring people.
Then it must be a problem with myself and how I am hiring and managing them.
So it makes me think I need to level up in how I hire and manage people.
Iâve tried lots of different businesses and variations of them and some have done okay, some have not.
Mainly the most success Iâve had is in my own freelancing, where I donât have other people on my team.
Because itâs kind of turned into a headache working with others. Who just seem to have mostly never been able to deliver what they promised without it becoming pointless to hire them in the first place with all the work Iâm doing on their behalf and trying to pick up after all the problems and failures theyâve done.
So Iâm not sure exactly what to spend my time and resources on.
I have money saved up from freelancing.
Where I can continue to hire people.
But I do feel Iâve had many many bad experiences.
And I believe itâs mostly my fault. Maybe my training, my hiring, my management, at places along the line Iâve not done it well enough.
Iâve tried to make improvements each time but it has kind of seemed like luck to get people who do actually do their job well.
I genuinely want to hire people and succeed in this.
Because if I can successfully work with people to achieve outcomes, rather than relying only on myself, I can build a real business and not just do freelancing.
In freelancing, I was able to make $3k-5k/month but it was very stressful and I hated speaking with clients, and was constantly stressed.
I generally really donât like socialising with people. Including clients and staff.
And staff often try to get me to socialise unnecessarily so they can avoid doing their job, and pull me away from mine.
So trying to make it work.
I want to make it work with hiring people because if I can do this, I can make 10x-100x-1000x faster progress with other people on the same team.
But I do have a very bad track record so far. So itâs kind of painful returning to it and continuing to have bad experiences.
But at the same time I know itâs me whoâs probably at fault because there canât be this many bad people Iâve hired and it surely canât be this bad for everyone.
I think the reason is that Iâve been better at managing myself and doing things successfully solo throughout my life.
Like Iâve achieved very good things in solo sports, in academia, and in many areas that donât require a team, but often become frustrated working in a team.
But I donât want my business success to be limited to 1 person.
So I truly want to make it work in improving my ability to manage (ideally a large amount of) people in a way where they can actually deliver and it work well.
Because I was capped in freelancing to making $3k-5k/month because I couldnât take on more clients because I was undercharging and overdelivering and couldnât handle more due to being massively stressed out and hating it. I was able to work with less clients at times and charge higher, but they never wanted me to âoutsourceâ my work to others or bring on a team, and I felt bad about it because had bad experiences where I had felt like I let clients down, and oftentimes they told me they had hired me because of me, and not wanted me to âoutsourceâ the work.
But I want to make it work.
Building a real business with a team. Not just doing freelancing and relying just on myself.
So I have time and money and resources to put into this.
I have 1 staff member currently who is unproductive. But we have an equity deal so it doesnât cost me money for them to perform. But costs me lots of time and their performance is extremely weak. Donât even want to go into detail, but itâs a nightmare. Their performance is about 1/10 but I believe I can raise their performance if I improve my ability to raise their performance.
Anyway. I want to build a team, but not sure exactly what activities are best ways to spend my time.
If I am physically making improvements, I feel I am slowing down the business progress.
Whereas I want to hire and manage people.
Iâve built training so that this co-founder is able to hire people. And these people can use the same training to hire people.
But I donât currently have training to enable them to manage people.
My fear is that without training, people just ask unlimited questions on how to do something in their role and it becomes pointless to have hired them because I have to do everything they should have done to do it, so they basically just become a robot following very specific instructions. Rather than a human being who can achieve things independently.
So for example, if I made this training, it would take up all my time, whereas I have savings Iâve accumulated from freelancing which I can put into either having the co-founder manage staff, or have the co-founder make management training at the same time to enable more and more staff to hire and manage new staff. To achieve overall objectives and KPIs.
Or I could have the co-founder hire someone to make the training.
Then that frees up my time, my co-founders, time and only takes financial resources to accomplish.
What I want to achieve, is a scenario where I can give staff KPIs and objectives, and they are enabled to hire and manage people who can meet these objectives. Independently without my help required.
They give feedback, and I have a system for feedback to internal improvements can be made based on staff feedback.
Without it being unfiltered, itâs structured and organised so people canât just get unlimited help/training/whatever from me.
Where they should be able to take actions, iterate, learn, improve, and act as independent thinking people who can achieve objectives themselves. Or within a system where itâs not all tied directly to me.
E.g. I have direct reports going to me.
But they have direct reports who go to them.
Previously I had a system where I did this, but then staff at the bottom of the hierarchy would ask their managers questions, and the managers wouldnât know the answer so would then ask me the questions, and so jumping over the managers and making me deal with everything.
Whereas I want to build a system where people can make business progress in their specific area, independently without everything going to the CEO. Only important/urgent things are feedbacked to the CEO.
This way I believe much faster progress can happen.
Because I wonât be bogged down by exponentially growing problems.
Like with how it works in any successful organisation.
Tim Cook has only a handful of direct reports. Who each only have a handful of direct reports. And so on.
Heâs making the most important decisions, dealing with whatâs most important and strategic, with top authority, dealing with everything as a birds eye view, but not doing every employeeâs job for them, teaching every employee how to do their job. Picking up the pieces after every employee misses their deadlines, doesnât do their work, gives excuses, does poor work that doesnât help the company.
Even in any successful organisation. Each unit/person is making their own decisions, taking their own action, learning from it, practicing themself at improving, gaining their own experience, not all relying on 1 person, every single person in the organisation, just for them to do their job.
In successful organisations, people at every level experience new problems all the time, and donât need to contact the #1 person at the top just to deal with it.
They come up with a solution and go for it. And iterate. Learn, try to do something better next time. And thereâs a constant learning/feedback process going on across the organisation which everyone takes part in, not just 1 person doing every part for everyone.
I believe this structure of modelling what actually successful organisations do is the correct way. Because theyâre successful for a reason.
Not this âhustle grindsetâ BS in the startup/business world where lots of information seems to be saying the wrong thing. It just makes no sense to make every single person 100% reliant on you for them to do their job.
Anyway so Iâm thinking about what I should do with my time.
What I want to do, is tell my co-founder what to do, which involves hiring and managing people who do things that move the needle forward in the business, as defined by me, and some of those people also hire and manage people. To have an exponentially growing system of people growing the organisation. And a communication and feedback and learning system and autonomy within the system itself so it can take action, learn, grow, thrive. As a system within itself.
I believe if hypothetically, I did everything myself, then it takes about 6 months to âvalidateâ whether a business has good potential, and 5% of the time it does. So if I do everything myself, I believe it will take me 10 years to get a business off the ground.
But if I utilise my money and time more efficiently, I can have as many people working on each part involved in validating these businesses as possible.
I donât know if that is lazy or smart.
I believe itâs both. But mostly smart. Because I believe I can convince, hire, organise, manage people to either work on equity deals or pay in a way where businesses can realistically bring in profit.
My co-founder does very little of what I ask him to do.
And he wants me to be doing individual things.
He objectively is financially and intelligently very poor and has very minimal skills or experience.
Not to be offensive. Just to paint a picture. So since there is conflicting information everywhere in the business world and you need to choose who to trust, I donât trust what he believes.
Objectively I am much richer in all these areas than him.
So I used to operate on a democratic system with them. But itâs kind of like, in a vote for president, if you have 80% of the population being easily controlled by the media and being very dumb and easy to sway and manipulate into believing anything, and they vote for things which are objectively dumb and go against what the smartest and objectively most valuable people vote for, I donât want to be held back by a dumb population having authority or being listened to, if they have a clear, long track record of making very bad decisions.
If you were to take business advice from a homeless person with no experience, money or intellect, or a Fortune 500 CEO, who letâs say objectively has massive experience, money, intellect and success. Then I would probably take what the CEO has to say.
If you had to listen to what a scientist vs 12 year old had to say about a scientific topic, youâd probably want to listen to the scientist who studied the topic and is well respected in their field.
So I believe it would be dumb for both of us, if he made decisions, objectively.
But at the same time itâs difficult to truly know what the truth is.
The Fortune 500 CEO could be telling you what you want to hear, and could have an incentive to lie to you to send you in the wrong direction with bad business advice so you donât become competition to them, and the homeless person could be honest.
The scientist could be trying to gain fame and get attention to themself to build their career on a lie and fake experiments whereas the 12 year old could be a science savant.
So itâs difficult to truly know what the truth is.
If I should listen to him or myself.
Objectively.
- I believe if I spend time building the business via this logic Iâve described above, it can grow much faster, with unlimited people working on it and performing well, if the necessary improvements are made.
- And I believe if I were to do the individual things necessary to do it, it would take 6 months to âvalidateâ eachâs potential. I.e. try everything in that timeframe to make it work, build a good service/product, build good sales process, build good marketing, deal with customers, etc, all on your own.
Whereas in the first option, other people could do all these things.
Human development over history has happened due to the input of millions, if not billions of people.
There wasnât 1 person who did all the work to get Carnegie or Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg to gain the success theyâve achieved.
They all build an empire off the backs of others.
Did the slave owners do the slave work themselves when they brought slaves to America? No.
Does Elon do all the individual parts necessary to grow the company? No. He leads and controls the people in order to do that.
Does Mark Zuckerberg single handedly get Facebook off the ground? No. There were 10+ people involved. He stole code from others. Who sued him.
All of these people had exponentially growing staff as the company grew, as fuel to grow the company.
So if you have the money and strategy to lead them to success, I believe it surely is possible.
So long story short this is a long rambling piece of writing but I believe thereâs very little impact 1 individual person has on the success of a company. Controlling and amassing an army of people who build the company up and contribute to the company sounds more true.
Does 1 person do everything involved in every sports team? No. Each player plays their respective part. Directed by the coach/manager.
Does 1 person do everything involved in musical orchestras? No each musician plays their part. Directed by the conductor.
And so on.
If you can build an exponentially growing team of staff who effectively work together, bring others on, take action to grow the business, learn from mistakes, make improvements, are highly motivated, are led successfully, it can achieve great things. I feel like itâs a delusion that individual people single-handedly grow companies without others.
So what should that person spend their time doing?
Doing all the millions of things necessary to grow the company? Or bring and manage others who some make progress themselves, some bring and manage others, to gain more and more resources to make progress at faster and faster rate.
Do successful people really have only 1 person responsible? No. They have teams of people behind them.
So trying to do the work of 1,000 people as 1 person sounds 1,000x as hard as getting 1,000 people to each do the work of 1 person.
So if you can finance the growth of the company via hiring others.
Letâs assume I can finance this exponential staff growth. Then surely I should do it right?
Like if I were to compete with 1 person trying to grow their business, and I had 1,000+ people, all doing their jobs effectively, being organised, working as a system not all relying on me, the competition where itâs 1 staff member on average would get beaten.
And surely any excuse you could give, I could just hire someone to solve that excuse.
Like âoh but what roles do you hire these people to do?â well I could hire someone whose role is to figure out what roles they should do. âBut what if x?â well I could hire someone whose role is to solve that too. And so on. âOh but do you have enough money to pay these staff?â Yes. And I can hire people whose job is to bring in money. Whether itâs fundraising, raising from
Did Hitler fight WW2 with 1 person? No. He fought it with millions, if not hundreds of millions of people.
Did Amazon/[insert any Fortune 500 company] get to their size today from having 1 staff member who did everything? No. They had thousands if not hundreds of thousands of staff.
Did any successful mom and pop shop/small business get to their size today from 1 staff member? No. They are one of the largest employers in the USA. Which means they hire a lot of people. Successful mom & pop shops generally have more staff the more successful they are.
Armies generally have more success the bigger and more effective they are.
Companies generally have more success the more staff and more effective the staff are.
So surely we shouldnât hold ourselves back, to use the example of war, itâs like trying to go to war with others who have hundreds of thousands of people in their army, with just 1 person, yourself. Who is going to win? Them.
How are you going to compete with companies with way more staff, and way more effective staff than you? You would have to become exponentially more effective as 1 person which I just donât know if itâs realistic.
I think itâs more delusional to believe that 1 person can do as well as 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or more people who are each as effective as that 1 person.
So if you were to win, you would probably want to expand your army/staff and make them more effective, rather than try to make yourself somehow perform on the same level as armies/companies with thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Itâs just delusional to believe you can beat them in my opinion.
In business, youâd have to be extremely skilled at hundreds of different skills, spend 10+ hours on 100+ individual areas of the business each week to compete with 1,000+ staff who, if performing effectively, would crush you.
This is just my thoughts.
Am I being delusional? Come onâŚ
I just feel like this is the way. Just look at the most successful organisations in history. Was it 1 person?
No, 1 person cannot realistically win a war against 100,000+ people. No matter how good they are. They would need to be top 0.00000000001% in skill in the world at what theyâre beating the other side at.
Could 1 footballer beat a football team of 100 people of equal ability than them? No.
Could a company of 1 person outperform a company of 1,000 people? No.
So I believe if I can solve the ability to do this, I can grow a team of unlimited size to conquer and beat any problem thrown at us.
Itâs just down to control of people.
Money doesnât exist.
Even biggest most successful companies in the world mostly didnât get there on their own.
I believe less than 1% of Fortune 500 Companies were bootstrapped. Or something similar.
And this is what Iâm saying.
People in the small business/entrepreneur world tell you you need to have everything yourself.
How are you going to outfinance, outcompete companies on complete other levels without acquiring these resources from others? Just relying on yourself.
How could 1 person get more financing/investment in a company from investors compared to 1,000 of equal ability.
Itâs never 1 person âbeating the worldâ. Or beating the industry on their own.
Maybe if your aspiration is to be an average business.
âOh but you should do what is best at each level, and itâs different for each level. Start just by yourself until you get X revenue. THEN hire peopleâ
âŚ..Well if you struggle to get X revenue on your own, how are you ever going to hire others?
The others help you grow the revenue in the first place.
I feel like the small business world is too overreliant on the founder and delusional about the capabilities of 1 person when competing against units 100-1,000x + bigger than them.
Come on.
Anything you want to compete in. In business.
Generally you already have competition.
And if you manage to somehow âspotâ something theyâve âmissedâ, they could just copy you and wipe you out with their massive resources anyway.
In my opinion you need to expand your resources as FAST as possible.
Not this BS âoh wait until you get X profit on your own to hire other peopleâ
Well if youâve only made good profit on your own as a freelancer, and youâve spent a lot of years trying to get a business off the ground solo, what are you meant to do?
âOh just make it workâ Great advice.
I just feel like thereâs too much delusion into what it actually takes.
In a job or as a freelancer. Itâs easier to make $3k-5k/month revenue because youâre only competing against individuals.
But when you try to compete against other businesses to make $3k-5k/month profit, youâre competing against businesses with 10x-100x the people, the money, the resources, the everything, to beat you.
So how are you meant to realistically beat them on your own? Without expanding your resources as quick as possible.
So because of this I believe if 1 person on their own is somehow meant to take a business from $0 to $10k/mo profit, then surely it will happen quicker if more people, of equal ability, are trying to make the business $0 to 10k/mo profit.
To be honest I donât know what the truth is. This is just what I believe the truth is.
Because Iâve consumed so much wrong information from people acting like they have the correct advice in business.
All Youtube videos, articles, courses, claiming to make you successful in business, when in reality itâs just advice that sounds either easy to say or easy to hear.
Like itâs easy to say as a comment to this post, a response that takes 5 seconds to write, like the first thing that comes to your mind, like âjust figure it out on your ownâ. But thatâs not necessarily the truth, itâs just easy for you to say as a commenter. Comments arenât necessarily the truth.
And on the other side business advice is easy to hear. Like âwork on your own, make $1m/month, move to X country, live the life, working 2hours/dayâ which is just pure delusion. And most of the time the content/adviceâs purpose is to benefit the business who made it, not the receiver of the advice. Because itâs selling a course or they have ad sense so they just want maximum engagement and views.
And anyone who is successful in business doesnât need to give any advice. Because theyâre applying the advice. Not giving it. Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos etc have no strong incentive trying to help others get to their level because they could just make an extra $10M-100M from spending the same time/energy/resources giving advice into growing their business.
Theyâre never gonna have advice that would help you beat them because otherwise they wouldâve applied it themself.
And they are actually incentivized to not want others to truly succeed. Because it means more competition for them and less success for them.
So 99%+ of info online just seems like itâs not true.
Iâm trying to figure out what is true and what isnât.
Honestly though itâs difficult to even trust what anyone says in business. Any advice or feedback. For the reasons given.
Because 99% of feedback is either from people who havenât truly grown a successful business, or itâs not related to you, or it involved luck, or itâs just like a motivational quote they tell you, or itâs a snarky comment they tell you.
Itâs only helpful to them. And you are actually their customer or viewer or their entertainment. Not a successful business yourself. Because itâs just all misinformation that all contradicts with the truth.
So not even sure if itâs worth trying to get advice or if itâs all just pointless, just to figure it out myself from experience, trial and error and learning from my own thinking than relying on any other thinking.
Anyway do you think this is just crazy and Iâm going crazy or is there any truth to what Iâm saying?
Let me know your brutal honest feedback

2024.05.19 17:22 THROWRA495738393 How I (24M) can get over my (25F) girlfriendâs past?
My girlfriend and I have known each other for 5+ years, we met at work. Weâve had a bit of an on again off again relationship, and we had a year long break about 6 months ago. Our relationship started approximately 5 years ago.
To keep a long story short, we started dating and afterwards she revealed to me that she slept with another of our coworkers. This destroyed me and I had an incredibly difficult time dealing with this. I think past partners are no big deal, but typically theyâre faceless entities. This guy I knew personally, we all worked together on a regular basis. At this time, her and I still worked together, but this guy had left the company. Time passes, weâve been together for about 2.5 years, we no longer work at that company, we donât work together, but still dealing with other issues. Ultimately, we broke up, and after about a year decided to get back together (messy, I know), for the most recent time. However, this time she revealed to me that she had slept with another coworker all those years ago. This just reignited all the insecurity and anger from the first guy, on top of now the second guy that we all worked with. Not to mention I explicitly asked her if she had any history with him and she lied to my face for years.
Finally, I ask, how can I deal with this? She was remorseful and we both love each other, but for some reason this eats away at me. I know sheâs had other partners, as have I, but the lying and the coworkers just bother me relentlessly. Any advice as to how to move forward?

2024.05.19 17:18 LiberalSinner [MN] Gender Discrimination?
This has been really eating away at me and I donât know how to address it. The company I work for went through a title change for all employees to align with current roles. I am the only woman on a team with approximately 25 men. Previously, we all had some variation of âengineerâ in our titles. So after the change, I look at the org chart and I see that every single peer, all men, retained an engineer title, but mine for some reason changed to âanalystâ. I have asked my boss FOUR times over the past year what is the reasoning behind this and get vague responses and zero effort to get me an answer. I continue to ask and reply to my original email to retain the thread history. I donât know how to approach this for fear of retaliation. Layoffs are coming up. I have survived through 4 layoffs over the past 10 years. And if I report this concern, Iâm afraid I will end up on the list. And I donât know if I should report it now, or wait to report it in the event of a lay off, or not report it all. Please please help, this is a horrible feeling to be treated âless thanâ, and is demoralizing. Thank you in advance.

2024.05.19 17:16 DaenerysMadQueen S8 events according to the consensus
| "In the space of a single, terrible day and night, all your fighting men were swallowed up by the earth, and the island of Atlantis likewise was swallowed up by the sea and disappeared." -Plato https://preview.redd.it/yrf5bahjcd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb50bb535a8f7aacc2a6fd5aa289f18540e2de3d Winterfell The first episode of the final season begins, echoing the atmosphere of Robert Baratheon's arrival at Winterfell in the series' premiere. What a lazy screenwriting move for fan service. Jon discovers the secret about his mother and his heritage, in front of his father's crypt. Ned Stark's promise was fulfilled, a stroke of luck for D&D. "You gave up your crown to save your people. Would she do the same ?" https://preview.redd.it/ty7em5xhfd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=0805b98f56f68dd0afc88b28bf3bc3b4cb639eac A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Then comes episode 2, where the heroes discuss future stakes, preparing for the Long Night, and what comes after the battle if it happens. Jon reveals the secret to Daenerys, who doesn't seem pleased to hear it. In short, nothing happens in this episode, it's boring. "All my life, I've known one goal: the Iron Throne. Taking it back from the people who destroyed my family, and almost destroyed yours. My war was against them. Until I met Jon. Now I'm here, half a world away, fighting Jon's war alongside him. Tell me, who manipulated whom ?" https://preview.redd.it/2z99qqywgd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a6b9c1889e4dbb53b15c9a27c81c83c4edfdf3c7 The Long Night Finally, the famous battle of the Long Night. We just see the Dothraki charging with flaming swords into the darkness, and then nothing. Everything is dark. We can't see anything. Maybe Daenerys at some point tries to roast the Night King, but it's unclear. Everything is black, everything is darkness and gloom. "- I'm going now. - Go where ?" https://preview.redd.it/3t64jmj1gd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=652abdf4a4074091b91976ace33da8b1a4d911bb "Nymeria, it's me, Arya. I'm heading north, girl. Back to Winterfell, I'm finally going home." The Last of the Starks After the credits, Jon Snow is giving a heartfelt speech for the fallen in the battle. Since we didn't see anything I suppose they won, probably because Jon finally killed the Night King and they are celebrating, but Daenerys is visibly disappointed that Arya is the hero of Winterfell, and she's upset that Jon refuses to cuddle with her because of the secret. She doesn't want Jon to talk about the secret because she doesn't want people to know they're engaging in incestuous cuddles. I think. " Even if the truth destroys us ?" https://preview.redd.it/6qvracdcjd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f50da19f55d66cf2c388752d71df673152780fc2 Anyway, it's very disappointing that the war against the zombies is already over; we should have had a whole season of the Long Night, in darkness and gloom, with an episode solely focused on strategy and the use of trebuchets. And then, when the heroes finally set out to take down Cersei, Daenerys falls into a lame, obvious, and avoidable ambush. Rhaegal dies stupidly, and Missandei is captured, then executed. Tyrion fails to save her, Cersei wins the final Lannister duel, and she angers the Dragon Queen enough to push her over the edge. In short, all of this was rushed and poorly written, nothing makes sense, I am shocked and angry. It's unfair. It's not right. "If you want justice, you've come to the wrong place." https://preview.redd.it/ua493n4cgd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d4937e7b8a327f11fc7fa094a84d227623b72a3 The Bells https://preview.redd.it/3w4ate9tyd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=be32819c3eda6b9a7026bb2b300cf8abe22da9af The penultimate episode of the series begins with a letter. Varys wants to inform that Jon is the heir to the throne; he betrays the queen. In mourning, with Tyrion, Daenerys only talks about the secret about Jon. It's the end, Act V of the play, the young tragic princess is lost, and the comedic archetype can't help her, it's too late, it doesn't matter now. "- Yes, she trusts you. She trusted you to spread secrets that could destroy your own queen. And you did not let her down. - If I have failed you, my queen, forgive me. Our intentions were good. We wanted what you want. A better world, all of us. Varys as much as anyone. But it doesnât matter now. - No. It doesnât matter now." An extremely poorly written dialogue, obviously, probably one of the worst-written dialogues in the history of theater, cinema, and television. In my opinion, far too convoluted and boring, far too tragic for a TV series. https://preview.redd.it/uo5f4s43jd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4757e00b2c3f01680bca09125dc998be02af7196 Then the Unsullied come to arrest Varys, and he is sentenced to death. "The Supreme Lord said: I am mighty Time, the source of destruction that comes forth to annihilate the worlds. Even without your participation, the warriors arrayed in the opposing army shall cease to exist." -11.32 Bhagavad Gita https://preview.redd.it/s11lnvojjd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=2d3c760dc6f0f263f6c2004855c67eb8f3819032 - Cersei should have won the battle; she had the scorpions, the Iron Fleet, and the Golden Company, and it was the logical continuation from the end of episode 4. However, it's worth mentioning that she had no elephants, which undoubtedly tipped the battle in favor of Daenerys and her dragon.
" I am not your little princess. I am Daenerys Stormborn of the blood of Old Valyria, and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood, I will take it." - Daenerys goes mad in two seconds. She has defeated Cersei, the bells signal the end of the battle, she must decide how to deal with the final obstacle, the last step before the throne. So she kills the people who love Jon Snow and who don't love her, all because she wants to secretly kiss Jon. All these seasons, adventures, battles, endless moral dilemmas over ten years, all for it to end with a simple tragic love triangle. Truly, probably the worst episode of the saga and of history, so rushed and poorly written; everyone knows that characters must go mad talking to themselves in front of a mirror, not silently in a realistic and brutal way, otherwise the viewer is confused and lost outside their comfort zone.
"I don't want to be his queen. I want to go home." https://preview.redd.it/zmehvnu0md1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=d1fe51dec443496ded16e9ac3e15c7a812be39f0 "The things I do for love." - Jaime reuniting with Cersei is probably the worst conclusion for these two characters. The writers clearly didnât understand their own story. Jaime's arc was about redemption, like Theon, exactly the same. The fact that Brienne fills the White Book of the Kingsguard with the line "Died protecting his queen." the most honorable death for a Kingsguard commander, doesn't matter, it's fanservice, lazy writing. Jaime should have stayed in the North and made baby Jaimes with Brienne. Jaime was supposed to save the world, not save Cersei. It's so sad; they only think about themselves and their children, Jaime and Cersei, nothing else matters.
"Nothing else matters. Only us." https://preview.redd.it/v9z7c47ekd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=5b1234cd9bab5380176c292c380ab375b83ee9c0 "When you play the game of thrones, you win, or you die. There is no middle ground." - Jon is useless; he can't do anything, and yet, all this chaos is his fault too. Daenerys had told him not to tell others his secret. Jon understands nothing, he knows nothing, and so do we, immersed in the chaos and ignorance along with the inhabitants of King's Landing. It should have been an epic and glorious battle. War must be epic and glorious. We wanted epic, glorious fire and blood, not fire bloody and burning blood. It should have been a spectacle, not a terrible massacre. Is war despicable and out of control ? We wanted elephants, not dead children.
"It's your choice." https://preview.redd.it/wjp0lq1pkd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4cceb3ac14c2ee57f0b30ab2c5cbf623f2758de " You know whatâs wrong with honor ?" - Euron Greyjoy is unbearable, as usual. It's as if they designed this character specifically to annoy us. He has no place in this story; he's just obnoxious. He destroyed Daenerys and Jaime, and he didn't deserve that honor. He's far too arrogant and not funny at all.
" If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention." https://preview.redd.it/lrs1bxftkd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=b310d8131ca0607b5e54c47d90ed8ce580f4afe3 "Fire !" - The fight between The Hound and The Mountain is great. Finally, something perfect in this episode. The Frankenstein's monster rebelling and destroying his creator in a fit of rage, Sandor Clegane finally getting his revenge, Cersei walking by indifferently. It was epic, glorious, and hilarious. There's even light breaking through the crumbling wall at the end, showing the way out and the solution for Sandor, just like in a Zelda game. Very straightforward, no questions left unanswered, no mystery.
"Sandor. Thank you." https://preview.redd.it/i7c44r95ld1d1.jpg?width=3733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4e8e7bb5d1dc502a5bdbe44f7d5bca5b1946c78c "Go home, girl." - Arya overuses the hero's shield in this episode. She says goodbye to Clegane, who tells her to go home, and then the apocalypse descends on her. She gets hit by falling debris in the streets, trampled by the crowd, the bell tower collapses on her... yet she gets up each time after a black screen and the sound of a cannon. She's just meters away from the devastation and the dragon's fire, close to the terrified and helpless citizens like her, and despite the piercing, chilling violins of death, she rises again, amid the embers and ruins. The little girl and her mother are burned, turned into statues of ash breaking in the wind, while Arya and a mysterious white horse survive the end times and emerge from hell together. Unless Arya is a cat with nine lives, all of this is just plot armor, it makes no sense.
"There is only one god and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death: 'Not today.'" https://preview.redd.it/fx5t65gpld1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=71f173f409f518e1cf211c9c85c62725c0bbe8b1 "There's plenty of pious sons of bitches who think they know the word of god or gods. I donât. I donât even know their real names. Maybe it is the Seven. Or maybe itâs the old gods. Or maybe itâs the Lord of Light. Or maybe theyâre all the same fucking thing. I donât know. What matters, I believe, is that thereâs something greater than us." The Iron Throne https://preview.redd.it/q937d04dvd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=3853c2cf88e2ef52f55128bf61bb0f6d23a5bba3 The last episode, after the bells. So this is how it ends. Daenerys has triumphed, Tyrion has realized his mistake, is imprisoned again, and makes Jon understand in one final conversation that he must choose, between his sisters and Dany, between the Starks and the Targaryens, between love and duty. It's all so tragic. Daenerys finally came home, the legend has triumphed, the dream has become reality. And then the prince steps forward, still plagued by doubt, imploring the young princess to cease her quest for power, to forgive. And Dany's words have meaning, echoing those Tyrion spoke to Jon. The fallen hero then understands that he cannot save both the world and the princess. The long tirades echo high in the halls of the kings who are gone, and the fallen hero murders his lover, not out of ambition for the throne, not out of anger or vengeance, but out of love for his sisters and the people. The tyrant is dead, sadly concluding the dramatic journey of a young innocent orphan that no hero could manage to save. "When I was a girl, my brother told me it was made with one thousand swords from Aegon's fallen enemies. What do one thousand look like in the mind of a little girl who can't count to twenty ? I imagined a mountain of swords too high to climb. So many fallen enemies, you could only see the soles of Aegon's feet." https://preview.redd.it/vi818cdw0e1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f4732894d0f9b43b9bae3629cc102fb25abfda69 Jon left the throne empty, accepting his judgment and the punishment of the dragon. Thus were extinguished the last Targaryens, in front of the object of all conflicts, high under the sky, above mortals, together. But Jon has a hero's shield too, so I imagine there's a chip scratching Drogon behind a wing, and thus he misses his shot and destroys the walls. And then the chip jumps onto the throne, so Drogon destroys the throne and the chip but he was too tired for Jon afterwards. Such lazy writing, utterly senseless, just for the symbolism of the dragon destroying the throne, the object of all the passions and dramas of this world, a satire of power and conclusion of the story. "I told you it's difficult to explain." Obvious fanservice, nothing complex or mysterious. But we don't know where Drogon is taking Daenerys, she has no mortal tomb. The mystery completes the legend, this girl was a shooting star until the end. "I have been sold like a broodmare. Iâve been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile ? Faith. Not in any gods, not in myths and legends, in myself. In Daenerys Targaryen." https://preview.redd.it/s3jmmuohzd1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=4007c56afdc01347bcc0770f9e7618b07eee3073 And to conclude, the council scene, a calm yet very rushed and poorly written moment, as everyone knows. It's certainly officially announced by professionals somewhere. Once again, the creators understood nothing about the story and the audience's expectations. Nothing funny, nothing complicated, nothing secretive, but the worst part is Bran's choice, it's not good, it's illegal, he cheated. Then the beautiful visuals, the surviving Starks, and Ramin Djawadi's magnificent music for the last five minutes and the final credits, pure happy ending, pure fanservice, it's an absolute failure, the worst series finale in history, it's obviously a dox..., sorry, a well-known consensus. It's all a mix of fan service, bad writing, and being rushed, extremely well-balanced. GRRM would certainly have wanted at least three more seasons to properly tell the final scene between Jon and Daenerys. So much wasted potential, D&D sacrificed the ending of the greatest series in history for Star Wars contracts they didn't even get. It's a scandal. Thankfully, no one talks about GoT anymore since that ending, except to reminisce about the golden age of season 4 and the seasons before. Everyone agrees, it's a fact. It is known. GoT's ending is a beautiful disaster. ... "- It's a long story. - If only we were trapped in a castle in the middle of winter with nowhere to go..." https://preview.redd.it/qifnbl7w6e1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=11319c6b58f55cd52f14bd161c25ef8d633b4c8e ... "Be with me. Build the new world with me. This is our reason. It has been from the beginning since you were a little boy with a bastard's name and I was a little girl who couldn't count to twenty. We do it together. We break the wheel together." https://preview.redd.it/b5i39z5s2e1d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=f1704cefcfd8876db60ddc018306883e99760062 "You are my queen, now and always." submitted by DaenerysMadQueen to naath [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 17:14 Marygtz2011 Not OOP New neighbors are about to find out a golden rule
2024.05.19 17:09 StonedApeDudeMan I think I know what's going on - OPENAI has had AGI once November 2023
God, there's so much evidence of this it's ridiculous. This all lines up perfectly.
OpenAI had a massive breakthrough and has been utilizing that breakthrough to accelerate their workflow. They got AI working on its own development on top of their team. And that's why they haven't released GPT-5 yet, despite it being well over a year since GPT-4. We all know they have itâtraining finished ages ago, and there's no good reason for them not to have released it yet. They just keep doing iterations of gpt4 over and over, and then on the side they just dropped these ridiculous updates...
Then, we suddenly get this demonstration, and have been getting demonstrations ever since, showing the Sora Video Model, and it's stupid good. Like, light-years ahead of the competition. It's straight-up magical at this point, so far beyond our understanding of what's going on with this stuff. Sora, unveiled February 15, 2024, it's so far ahead of everything else that it's very mind-boggling how they ever could have possibly gotten to that point so fast. It's so fucking good..
And that is exactly what is freaking all of them out big-time. Except not Sam Altman at firstâhe saw some amount of opportunity for humanity, mixed with seeing the power to be had, and how massive it would be if he came out the other side as a savior for humanity. So he embraced the breakthrough and kept going full force ahead. And he wasn't wrong to do thatâit's his Oppenheimer moment.
China is going all in on it, that's for damn certain. Which means we have to go all in on it, safety and precautions be damned as they slow the development of AI down. Falling behind to China could potentially be catastrophic; we need to stay ahead. So of course the Pentagon got involved, working on a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with OpenAI announced on January 31, 2024, to leverage AI for defense purposes. The military saw something that triggered them to get involved, and while they're helping with cybersecurity, you can bet your ass they're leveraging AI to the fullest extent for all their warfare. They kind of need to, or else we're going to fucking die.
Sam Altman has been looking pretty exhausted and always tired during that entire stretch. Now their safety department has completely disbanded. This just happened, and they all got hit with NDAs of one year on their way out, meaning none of them can talk about it or they lose their stocks in the company. So, Sam Altman, instead of recoiling in fear and horror during the lifting of the veil that they were witness to behind closed doors sometime shortly before his ousting, he went the other direction instead and embraced it and was excited for the prospects. That is all because they discovered AGI sometime around the middle of November 2023. And while some of the employees for deeply troubled by all of this and Disturbed and scared perhaps, Altman showed excitement and exuberance over it, hence the entire ousting of Altman in November 2023. And because he showed excitement, I understand why all sides felt as they did and they are rightfully justified. Just before his ousting, Altman mentioned in an interview how they were witnessing significant advancements and saw it as a momentous period in AI development, which he felt honored to be part of: "I can't imagine anything more exciting to work on, and on a personal note, just in the last couple of weeks, I have gotten to be in the room, when we sort of like push the sort of the veil of ignorance back and the frontier of discovery forward and getting to do that is like a professional honor of a lifetime. So, it's just so fun to get to work on that"
With the last update we got, it is very clear that they aren't showing us everything. The products are not quite what we were hoping for, but they are insanely good and enough to keep people happy. The shit they can do with the voice now is getting released to the public next month. It can sing, change vocal expressions, and do all sorts of crazy shit that nobody else is near. We all come to find out later that that was just the beginning of all these updates, we have 3D model generation coming, the dolly image generation that's integrated into it is phenomenal and can do consistent characters and it can do text like nobody's business, it's so fucking good, and then we have insanely fucking fast speeds for these models, you're able to speak to these models and get responses like right away just as fast as a human will respond it's not faster and that it's able to do that it's just so mind-boggling. Just think, you have like a fraction of a second for it to go and like break down everything that you said so have that all transcribed and then take that and then crap the response and then say that out through the audio model. And they're doing this all at insanely fast speeds the text generation is so crazy fast and it is now only half the price of what it was before. This type of progress is nuts, what other industry or what other time of history have we seen progress being made at this pace, there's no comparison this is batshit crazy. And it feels off because things don't quite add up as far as what they are giving to the public and what they very obviously have or should have AKA gpt5 something that is multimodal and is an agent that can go out and do everything.
For them to have all of that and yet not have a model significantly better than GPT-4 from a year ago is silly. They have a model, and it's GPT agents set up to code really well. They can tell these models to go and do things on the internet like creating various accounts, setting up the accounts with APIs, codes, and all of that, and then downloading all the necessary things and setting it up in whichever program. It's like these super assistants that are insanely smart. That's what we should have out there. If Sora is out there, then 100% we should have that, and that is AGI. It can do shit on its own and follow up with tasks and goals in mind. It's wild.
So, this next section is borrowing heavily from this Reddit post that was from February of 2024 in which much of this was predicted to a T. This post is so spot on, here's a link to it on an archive site
https://archive.md/rtZHg It's like the methods magicians use to figure out other magicians' tricks. You look for what is required to be there and is (like the magician's hat on the table), and what is not required to be there but is anyway (like the curtain covering the space under the table).
But then there's the misdirectionâthe bullshit and distractions. A company with AGI is going to want to feed it as many GPUs as possible while delaying the AGI announcement. They'll throw smoke bombs, release amazing new products, and make cryptic statements to keep people guessing. Their actions will seem more and more chaotic and unnecessarily obtuse. Customers will be happy but frustrated.
They'll start releasing products that are unreasonably better than they should be, with unclear paths to their creation. There will be sudden breakdowns in staff loyalty and communication. Firings, resignations, vague hints from people under NDAs. And then, the military will suddenly take a huge interest, and all PR from the company will go quiet.
That's when you know it's real. When the curtain comes down, everyone stops talking, but the checkbooks keep opening wider than ever, with investors and state departments pouring in resources. Bottlenecks will be reached for multiple industries. A complete drought of GPUs, etc.
And I'm telling you, with everything we're seeing from OpenAI, it's looking more and more like AGI every damn day.

2024.05.19 17:05 No_Pomegranate7134 Why people look down on about manual labor or minimum wage jobs when they exist for a specific reason and purpose? Would it mean they will replace EVERY job out there with robots, even doctors, lawyers and policemen for instance, as they are still done by humans?
Saying that "better" jobs exist is used as a mere excuse for some people not willing to work, like at all. Since people in the West always say that, but the truth is that they DO NOT want to work or burn some sweat, workers from poorer countries immigrating to Western countries that are desperate for employment don't care if the job is manual labor or sitting in an office cubicle for a long time, as long as it gives them a stable salary, since they exchange dollars, euros or pounds back into their local currencies to send back to their loved ones back home, so they remain indifferent if they are paid small, as like any other human, you need money to survive the contemporary society.
So, to put it, there is no point for people to talk shit or berate people who work minimum wage jobs (at the end, they will waste their own time for doing that), as they also play a part on maintenance, cleaniness or customer service and relations, it'll be completely stupid to get rid of garbage collectors or cleaners for example, as who else would tidy all of the mess up either on the streets or in your office? Robots can't do literally everything for you, as some interactions require humans to be around, like lawyers or doctors, since they need HUMANS (not robots) to have a more personal or clearer interaction with other people.
How can a robot be able to read your human emotions when you are upset, can it predict or assume if you have committed a crime, or what the verdict would be before the judge announces it? Are you going to lay off all human surgeons, doctors and nurses just to replace all of it with AI and robotics? People got to understand that jobs regardless if they are manual labor or not, have a purpose in their own way. (As why else have humans evolved through out history, it started from "manual labor" so there is zero reason to despite it so much.)
You might be surprised that jobs people consider "shit" have large salaries, for this reason: "It's niche, and no one wants to do it, only those who are willing to." as they are looking for those who willing choose to work in professions people consider "shit" by the masses.There is literally no reason for people to berate or talk shit about any job regardless if it is manual labor, minimum wage, or a white collar one, since human history they existed for their purpose prior to the industrial revolution and digital age, don't forget not all jobs can be replaced by robots and AI:
- If there are no HUMAN builders, who will construct all of the property?
- If there are no HUMAN doctors or nurses, who will treat you?
- If there are no HUMAN cops, who will enforce the law and arrest people?
- If there are no HUMAN lawyers, who will repesent you in court?
- If there are no HUMAN judges and jury, who will be present in court?
- If there are no HUMAN leaders, would would be in charge?
- If there are no HUMAN armed forces, what will the military consist of?
- If there are no HUMAN teachers, who will teach the students?
- If there are no HUMAN technicians, who will fix and maintain the equipment?
- If there are no HUMAN plumbers, who will be able to sort out the piping?
For instance, if there was an employer who was like:
- I'll give you $150,000 annually if you work hard with all that labor 365 days a year.
- I'll give you $70,000 annually if you just sat inside the office all day staring at a screen.
So, which one are you tempted to take despite "manual labor" job having a higher salary by this employer, as they consider that people don't want to do it, or are looking for a specific canididate who remains indifferent to the public opinion on job seeking?
So, people would only understand if "you've been through their shoes" as saying that someone working for minimum wage or manual labor is a "inferior" person to in comparison to somebody who is employed at a white collar job with a suit and tie, is just plain stupid. It's either that:
- Those people NEVER worked in minimum wage job in their lives, so they make assumptions of it being terrible. Only people who have worked in minimum wage jobs will TRULY know and understand what it is like first hand, rather than what people generalize the definition of that word, as they have never worked in that field, so they don't really know until they step into the same shoes as people working in minimum wage to find out first hand.
- They don't know what customer service ACTUALLY means. Other than them repeating the dictionary meaning of that word, they know nothing at all about what it is like first hand to encounter customers and being the front spectable of the general public, either nice or rude.
- Raised in a upper or top class upbringing who are brainwashed to talk crap about others. As they are from a neighborhood or familial upbringing full of rich folks who are accustomed to consider the middle class as peseants.
- They have "work experience" and "studied" listed on paper, but how does it really apply IRL? I mean, make them prove they are telling thr truth from their resume by making them apply the skills they've listed in real life, eg. You listed that you've worked for a michelin star restaurant, right? Cook me something I don't regulary encounter, but it better be good and an original recipe. If they can't apply the 'skill' they listed right there, they are liars, don't hire them.
It's like saying to garbage collectors, store clerks, couriers, uber drivers, and etc. suck, if that was the case, then they'll just walk out and NEVER come back, nowadays especially with social media, they can just brag about how they are treated, it's like a cog in a machine, if they are going to find a new one, it may not be as easy once the word spreads that the companies treat them like slaves, then people would not be interested, as they want to be treated with respect, not like an animal chained to a post.
If no one replaced those who all left, overtime they'll start to lose money and the companies who employ those sectors become defunct, even for the highest paying ones that require specific skills, still need actual humans to fill in those spots, not robots. Have you ever encountered (any of) these in real life, like at all:
- Robotic doctor, nurse, or surgeron
- Robotic police officer on duty
- Robotic CEO of a [company]
- Robotic head of an [organization]
- Robotic [President] or [Prime Minister]
You can imagine what that would do to humans, as what would be the purpose of humans existing if everything was automated, machines like all technology break down, as of now, to fix and replace their physical components within a physical body, you still need a HUMAN technician. Even the female robot living in Saudi still has a HUMAN owner, as a HUMAN created her, she did not create herself.
Put it like this, if people despite minimum wage or labor jobs so much, consider these factors:
- If there were no garbage collectors, trash will just litter the streets making it dirty and smell bad
- If there were no custodians in any public facility or street, trash and debris will just remain there
- If there was no uber driver or an uber-robot (managed by humans), who will deliver your food
- If there were no bulilders or construction workers, that means land will just remain empty
- If there were no EMTs, who in the hell will operate an ambulance
- If there are no mechanics or automotive technicians, who will repair your vehicle

2024.05.19 16:51 ConsciousRun6137 The Grim Global Harvest; The Onslaught of Parasites That Destroy Liberty
| https://preview.redd.it/027kg051ce1d1.png?width=1892&format=png&auto=webp&s=38dfa5603c2a8c208380203d62e93aad567bb518 You need to understand that you and your family are targets of some of the most powerful corporations and dangerous tech that exists on earth. Yes. Your life is being stolen, and your personal electrical energy harvested. Thatâs what the controlling powers behind wetiko do, and the pressure is on right now to do this at warp speed. Life has become a never ending stream of psychological operations of deception. Whether any of us like it or not, the enemy is feeding on us. Iâve covered this idea at some length in this series on wetiko. [ 1] Those of us in the know realize that the system is working very hard to use the slavery of the past as âpermissionâ or âauthorityâ to use us for what is essentially human batteries. Do you want to admit that you are being farmed like cattle (chattel)? This is a challenging concept, even though so many us that have awakened to the true plight of humanity and how we have been manipulated to believe in the illusion of our freedom. Itâs nothing but a sham. Weâve been fed a broth of propaganda from the time we were babes, and most of us blindly accepted this for decades or more. Most of us are still under that power. Humanity remains firmly under the influence of âinvisibleâ wetiko as slave master, through government and all power structures concocted by man and âarchon.â Under the continual influence of these âarchons,â government, business and religion have been used for increasing subliminal programming of all humans for power and advantage. Of course, some are more sophisticated and harmful that others, but the mental and emotional entrainment are real. You are being used. That includes the energy that humans create and expend as finances. Instead of being fearless, through continual battering and psychological operations, most of humanity has adopted a heads-down position to sustain an easier life, in an attempt to avoid trouble. For generations, even millenniums, most of us have taken this wetiko hook, line, and sinker even though it has been right in our face. Weâve been induced to internalize the negative energy placed upon us, caving in to regulations and orders that tear at freedom continually. Evil has been banking on fear winning the day. Yet the truth is, no matter how filled with wetiko many of these monsters are, theyâve been taking this a step at a time because of their own fear and hesitations, seduced by their own needs as they foist their poison agenda on the world of men, women and children. Wetiko needs psychopaths and the mentally ill to foist its collective will upon humanity. They also need technology (whatever tech available) to keep an iron grip on âthe lesserâ through every mind control technique available to them. In most cases, our personal identities have been stolen, and weâve accepted the thievery along with the chaos, distraction and reaction to the mayhem. Theyâve hijacked the minds of multitudes throughout history to focus intently on elements of identity to divide and conquer. Last post, I began to reveal how this massive mind control operation was being accomplished in physical minds, and how the minds of humanity were being affected and why. Yet, this attack is so pervasive and has been in place for so long, that removing the veil while having you able to understand what is being done might not be possible because of the degree of evil being pushed. https://preview.redd.it/5hmxpuq7ce1d1.png?width=584&format=png&auto=webp&s=64e0e0525e9d83741f6db270ff2a20c89461515d All of this hides a larger operation currently underway that is being worked through wireless towers that carry smartphone and other wireless signals. Itâs part of an insane plan to track and count everything on this planet, which of course, consumes more and more energy. The insane power mongers operate as parasites, now through âwireless body area networksâ and âmedical body area networks.â Where will they get increasing amounts of this needed power? That power comes from you as an electrical physical being. Itâs absolutely heinous, and the bastards think your silence is your consent, because that is the way they âlegallyâ operate as part of their system of power. Your insurance company is even involved in the plot as they work to reign you in, even surveilling your physical home and surroundings under the illusion of providing health care. All this information is being used to subdue and control you, to produce data about you with the idea to control. Itâs all a magic act of masterful deception. Humans are a major source of energy creation, as are all living creatures on this planet. Biological parasites are real. Nano synthetic parasites are a new problem. Realize that you are being influenced on all levels through parasites, vampires that drain you at every opportunity to feed from you. Others work to poison you in a âwar against humanityâ to profit themselves. Recent testimony to Congress proves the reality. Our government has been torturing people electronically by remote means using EMF radiation. Their campaign has been effective. Just as they used military families to test the âvaccineâ and reap the results of an 82% abortion rate and declining health. The big lie was that the âvaccineâ was not mRNA as biological material. The mainstream shots consist of synthetic materials using cesium 137 that make you a synthetic hybrid. The reverse transcriptase within will continue to poison generations to come. Shocking, even hard for many to believe. You are being had if you are not awake to the cold reality that is being dealt, and then open to the idea of being badly used. Could your smartphone and other tech be used to feed on your electrical energy in a two-way information exchange? What other tech could be used? Time to think, open your mind and evaluate your options. The evidence is clear. The pathological crime is underway. For example (in the States), a synthetic brewerâs yeast protein that is highly toxic (âpathogenicâ) is being placed into all shots, including approximately 470,000 medications. This toxic âkinaseâ depends on a natural ability as an electrical parasite to the host body, promoting cancer and other chronic disease. Enter the famous âcovid jabâ of 2020. All inoculations turn the human body into an effective power source for technology to use as the âtech godsâ see fit. This isnât science-fiction folks. Itâs a massive two-way surveillance tool. Whatâs worse: if you received the âvaccine,â you are genetically-modified chattel that belongs to the patent holder. Arguably, you are not human based on the legal niceties. Nice, huh? This detail is the real pandemic. Youâve been officially âownedâ by their procedures and rules. https://preview.redd.it/8xiyu0vace1d1.png?width=482&format=png&auto=webp&s=66f62e90ba459096daea48125f1a2cade2f284f1 As electrical beings, we are susceptible to EMF radiation, and this is well documented. Research indicates that EMF radiation can be used to modify human behavior, depending on the frequency used. Frequency is everything, as we are creatures of frequency. For example, Bill Gates has turned people into computing nodes and use as a power source (Patent 2020060606, see image) to mine cryptocurrency. This patent harnesses the wireless body area network (WBAN). It probably hooks up to Windows computers and your router in ways you would never have imagined either. You really are the commodity, a servant to the âtech godsâ for their empowerment and profit. The wetiko nightmare is real. The vampires are here and draining you, sometimes pretending to pay you something of value for the use of your biorhythms and personal data. Itâs part of the carbon credit tracking agenda. You are being bought and sold based on biorhythms. Over the decades, they have been able to track all humans by analysing cesium 137 contamination they placed in the food supply, which turns the human body into a two-way communication node. The gross large clots from the covid jab are flexible antennas, filled with the same cesium 137. Your privacy and health mean nothing to these mental monsters. Enjoy that reality if you can. Wireless mesh networks, using low-energy bluetooth on smartphones are now tied into the vaccinated with 16 digit mac addresses for information harvesting on Android devices. Itâs so ubiquitous that the IEEE (electrical engineers) have developed standards grounded in years of data. Based on these standards, our âbenevolent overlordsâ have even decided that they might decide not to harness the energy of most children, and perhaps not the disabled. You can see the wetiko that Google and the business world have stooped to in a rush to the bottom in working through governments of the world. Business is simply another component of government creation and placement, such as in the case of Google. Android has made people cloud-computing nodes on the mesh network, soon to be followed with IOS. Tying this mesh network into satellite is in process. Starlink is a dual system, part of the harvesting plan with 30,000 satellites that the cover the earth with 5G. Most of this care and support of the Beast is being done under the pretense of âhealth monitoringâ for the time being, in line with the health emergency declaration. The technology in place is two-way, in that âauthorityâ has the ability to shut you down with disease, whether in the hospital or walking the street. Never before has killing someone anonymously been so easy, and it will get easier as this is normalized. Last post, I discussed some positive things that you can do to heal, to fight the power of wetiko in your life. Now you can see that humanity is in a fight for its very life, and there are less of us that can do so as the global death cult attempts to take humanity down. Now we need to be involved in taking these towers of life-destroying power down, or stopping them from being erected altogether. It all starts on the local level with getting to know your local law enforcement, and through real-life contacts. You still have power to think and choose for yourself submitted by ConsciousRun6137 to u/ConsciousRun6137 [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 16:18 cantseemtoremberthis New here, needing advice please.
I somehow fell into a position with a company who's using NEEB. I'm beyond excited and grateful. I didn't think I'd ever get an opportunity like this one. Can someone please give me some directions on what to look at for some basics? I feel woefully unprepared and frankly alittle lost..
I'm a sheetmetal worker from resi with very limited schooling. The most I've ever "balanced" was home HRVs back in the early 2010's. I don't need to be am expert in it(they know my history) but I'd love some reading material so I don't look completely clueless(which I am..).

2024.05.19 16:05 foreverkristina Never Give Up! Appeal Won!
| NEVER GIVE UP! For those that were denied Mounjaro by their insurance company because they did not meet the Type 2 diagnosis please do not give up!!!! Iâve been fighting this since Jan 2024 and nearly gave up after my 2nd appeal I was so exhausted. Find a doctor that will help you in writing your appeal. I also have to shout out mochi because I had given up and was going to buy the telehealth version but theyâre prior auth team sent in a prior auth for Mounjaro I gave them the accurate ICD codes to use (VERY IMPORTANT) and I was approved! I never got a denial letter from the 2nd appeal I submitted so I believe that did the trick. I have insulin resistant PCOS, BMI 48, pre diabetes A1C 6.2 and family history of diabetes. This medicine is worth the fight keep going! submitted by foreverkristina to Mounjaro [link] [comments] |

2024.05.19 15:53 GrimmDeLaGrimm My newly adopted babies!
| I was only supposed to adopt one yo go along with the 2 year old orange in the house. Then stuff hit the fan and anything in 100m radius of my relationship. The family raising these little monsters asked if I'd take the orange one as well to keep each other company, and the rest is history. Meet little Asohka and Frito. They wake up starving, play for an hour, eat, and then sleep. Repeating the process all day, and I honestly couldn't think of a better way to spend my time. submitted by GrimmDeLaGrimm to IllegallySmolCats [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 15:44 ExpendableUnit123 Itâs alternative 2011. New Vegas had a longer production cycle. What happens after Hoover Dam that you can see?
Doesnât have to align with the end slides.
My take on post content legion ending, Freeside has been butchered with bodies of civilians hanging from street lamps and the kings base burned out. Legion civilians have already started taking over.
Caesar has made the Lucky 38 his new throne spot and Gommorah has been turned into a slave selling market place.
The Fort has mostly been hastily abandoned save for a few legionaries left in charge of dismantling and distributing logistics routes.
Fiends (even if cleared out) have rallied and are currently being sieged by a company of legionaries (quest).
Itâs still possible to find pockets of NCR troops hiding out in fairly random small locations that werenât able to retreat soon enough.
Thereâs a quest involving treatment of NCR prisoners in Camp McCarren.
Legionaries use the NCR Correctional facility as a gladiator pit with everything from powder gangers, to NCR, to freeside civilians fighting hounds, geekos, or legion badasses.

GameTrade [link] [comments]
2024.05.19 15:30 xiaolii [H] Lots of Games [W] Trade for Games or Paypal (EU)
Last Updated List: 19/05/2024 I'm primarily looking to trade for games from my
wishlist, otherwise I am also open to selling them. I am not interested in games I already have and all games I'm getting are for me and activated on my own account. Other than that feel free to offer your list of Steam games and something I may not have and fulfills my criteria I could/would be willing to trade for it/them.
- To trade you must respond to this thread first, I will not respond or accept anyone outside of this thread, only exception are unless we've traded more than once before.
- Only interested in trading for games on Steam.
- I don't do Humble gifts whether receiving or giving, all my keys are in unrevealed form right after purchase.
- No interest in any keys from an unofficial retailesource (aka grey market), curatoreviewer keys (aka beta/reviewebeta-testing/etc.), abandonware, keys for games that are already free on Steam itself, Steam profile-limited keys, and only slight interest in VR-titles and/or de-listed games (no banned games).
- Anything marked as wishlist/paypal, it's self-explanatory and I won't look through lists.
- All my keys are EU keys, if you are outside of EU, make sure you double check for any region locks for your country. For quite a few which I was aware of I already listed the region lock, however this is not my responsibility as I did specify the key's region.
- When buying, I only accept payments in Euro's. Minimum purchase of âŹ1,00. Fees are on buyer.
If you're either trading or buying please state the game(s) you are interested in and your offer (game(s)/list/price).
Info: I kindly ask of you is to be reasonable when making offers to make it a fair trade for both of us.

2024.05.19 15:29 ReportsStack Flow Cytometry Market Size, Key Trends & Projected Growth Report from 2024 to 2030
The
global flow cytometry market is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 9% from 2021 to 2027, with a valuation of USD 6.26 billion in 2020. A key driver of this growth is the rising incidence of chronic disorders worldwide. Additionally, the increasing prevalence of targeted diseases and substantial investment in biotechnology research and development are expected to propel market expansion over the forecast period. Moreover, the growing awareness of the side effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer treatment is anticipated to further boost market growth.
To know more about this study, request a free sample report @ https://www.researchcorridor.com/request-sample/?id=3721 Market Trends: Advancements in Technology: Continuous technological innovations are enhancing the capabilities of flow cytometry instruments. Improvements such as high-throughput screening, multi-parameter analysis, and automated systems are making flow cytometry more efficient and accurate, thus expanding its applications in research and clinical diagnostics.
Growing Application in Clinical Diagnostics: Flow cytometry is increasingly being used in clinical diagnostics for disease detection, monitoring, and treatment evaluation. Its application in diagnosing blood cancers, immunodeficiencies, and other conditions is driving demand, as it provides precise and rapid results crucial for patient management.
Expansion in Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries: The biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors are leveraging flow cytometry for drug development and research. Its ability to analyze large numbers of cells quickly and accurately makes it an invaluable tool for high-throughput screening, cell sorting, and biomarker discovery.
Increasing Use in Immunology and Infectious Disease Research: Flow cytometry plays a critical role in immunology and infectious disease research by enabling detailed analysis of immune cells and pathogens.

2024.05.19 15:25 TheGangstaGandalf Discussion of the Diamond Handbook (Part 1)
Hey everyone, this will be my first attempt at a serious post on this sub. Iâm not exactly practiced in articulating my thoughts (Iâm more of a fiction writer) so please
bear bull with any mistakes and please correct me if Iâm wrong. The last thing I want to do is spread misinformation, Iâm not an expert (or a financial advisor) on any of this. I'm here to learn, not to teach.
This post will be the first in a series of me reading through the entire Diamond Handbook (2nd) and just commentating on points I find interesting or discussion worthy. I will be asking questions as well as giving my own personal thoughts based on my understanding of the events that have transpired. I became an ape right after the sneeze, and followed a lot of the discussions back then, but have been zen for a while so I haven't fully kept up with a lot of the new developments.
I haven't actually sat down and read DD in a long time, so I decided to give myself a refresher and actually look at the Diamond Handbook (2nd) for the first time. I had read a lot of these posts as they had come out, so I had never felt the need to look at the full PDF before. For the apes that havenât read it either, I recommend giving it a read. You can find the full DD library in the pinned post of this sub, and the Diamond Handbook is the first one there.
As I have been reading it, Iâve quickly realized that some of the stuff is a little outdated. That canât really be helped since so much DD has been done between then and now, but this brings me to the two reasons for this post. The Diamond Handbook is likely the first piece of DD a new ape will be recommended; I want to spark discussion to clear up some things that are misguided or outdated in this handbook. The second reason is more of a personal challenge. Whenever someone denies the legitimacy of the DD, an ape usually responds by saying something like âWell, read the DD and prove it wrongâ. The average MOASS denier wonât do this though, in my experience they just think itâs ridiculous on a conceptual level, and wonât take the time to actually look through all the DD available and construct a proper debate. I canât really blame them for this though, spending so much time on something you have no interest in doesnât sound like a fun time.
But I have a lot of interest in this, and I am an aspiring author who writes 400K word fanfictions for fun. Iâve got the time and the writing willpower. I am very big into trying to understand how a reader will interpret a piece of my writing, so Iâll be looking through that lens and will be writing this with the assumption that you have already read the Diamond Handbook (2nd). Please take the time to respond/correct what I say here, I want to learn.
With all that out of the way, letâs get started.
The Mother of All Short Squeezes (MOASS) Thesis, Published on May 26, 2021, by u(slash)HCMF_MACEFACE
Before we even get into the meat of this section I already see a bit of an issue. A lot of the language implies that MOASS is imminent, take this section for example:
*âIf you don't believe me, just look at the chart of GME which our DD (Due Diligence/research/analysis) has been forecasting for a while now. The below pattern has only preceded massive spikes in price, but this time, those on the other side of the trade are going to have a much harder time suppressing the price like they did in January and March. Thanks to the activity on 5/25, we have entered the end-game. The MOASS is beginning.â*
I think most new apes will look at this, then look at the date of posting (three years ago), and think this is delusional thinking. They will say that MOASS did not âbeginâ because it hasnât happened yet. This would be pretty short sighted though, GME has always been a Deep Value investment, long positions are called long for a reason. âBuy and HODLâ is such a repeated mantra because that is the investment strategy most apes employ. Like most investments, it takes a long time to realize gains. Your retirement account will be growing for 40+ years before you cash that thing out, GME is my retirement plan so I donât expect it to be much different.
Just because the sneeze happened in a week doesnât mean MOASS will, in theory it should be a very long event as both the shorts and longs have a test of wills to see who caves first. However, the sneeze was the âbeginningâ because it was exposed a lot of the fuckery that is going on in the market right now, I think that is the message that should be taken from this section.
*âThese terms are key to understanding the theory and speculated value of a GME investment. Hyperlinks to Investopedia, "the world's leading source of financial content on the web", have been included for most market terms and concepts and it is recommended to check them out if they are not clear. We will be breaking down some of the more complex terms and concepts within the post and framing them within the context of GME.â*
After the introduction, this post does a great job of explaining all the concepts of the stock market that are relevant to the MOASS thesis. However, I do wish it mentioned some other stock terms for the sake of new investors. Since none of the DD is supposed to be financial advice, I canât really blame them for these omissions, but at the beginning the OP does say they wanted the post to be good for newer investors, so I think some more pointing in the right direction shouldâve been provided. I do appreciate the link to Investopedia, but this DD is already a novel, and the average reader might forget about that link by the time they finish it. So an additional link shouldâve been provided at the end.
The two big concepts I see missing are Options and Wash Sales/Stop-Losses.
Options are interesting because they create a different type of buying/selling pressure compared to just buying/selling stocks regularly. There are concepts like gamma ramps and stuff that can be relevant when discussing catalysts for price movement. However, options are pretty scary for most investors, Iâve only ever bought one, and forgot about it so it auto-exercised for me (lol), so itâs not a concept I would call essential. I just think itâs better to be educated than not.
The much more egregious omission is that of Wash Sales and Stop-Losses. Wash Sales are extremely dangerous to new investors who still make decisions based on emotions and are not used to the volatility that comes with GME.
If you are unfamiliar, a Wash Sale is when a person sells a stock at a loss, then buys the stock again within a short period of time. As an example, letâs say you bought a stock at $50, then the stock goes down to $40.00 and you no longer feel comfortable with your investment. You sell the stock at a loss. You lost $10.00 on this transaction, but itâs not all bad. When you go to do your taxes, you can report this $10.00 loss to the IRS. This is good because if you make a $10.00 profit off another trade, you now donât have to take taxes out of that profit, since the IRS will see this as you breaking even in the grand scheme of your portfolio. You didnât actually make any money, so they arenât going to tax you for it.
A Wash Sale is triggered when you buy back the stock you sold in a short period of time, this can even apply if you buy a stock in the same sector. So if you buy a stock at $50.00, sell it at $40.00 then buy it again. That $10.00 loss you took can no longer be reported to the IRS as an actual loss. So when you make $10.00 on some other trade, the IRS wonât see you as breaking even, they will tax you on that $10.00.
For a stock as volatile as GME this can be very dangerous, I know people who brought in the peak, then as the price went back down they triggered a Stop-Loss (auto-sale you can program to trigger when a price falls), only to then buy back in when the stock dropped even lower, creating a wash sale that fucked their taxes.
We say âBuy and HODLâ a lot, but I think the âwhyâ of it has been lost in the meme. I personally buy and HODL because averaging down is a lot better for me than accidently triggering a Wash Sale. I fucking hate the IRS and donât want any of that smoke.
*âSPOILER: GME and \[Popcorn\] have tons of FTDs reported.â*
I just kinda donât like the mention of the Popcorn stock here, it has never been a deep value investment. If you are unfamiliar with the Deep Value investment strategy, please take a look at the old Roaring Kitty livestreams. In summary, Deep Value investing is defined by looking for stocks that are extremely undervalued and unpopular due to no fault of the company. These external factors that are making the stock undervalued can be anything, shorting, COVID, stuff like that. But what makes it a Deep Value investment is always strong management within the company. If the company is not mismanaged in any way, then it is very unlikely to go bankrupt, and will have opportunities to make a comeback. GME has Ryan Cohen leading, a proven successful businessman that has already taken precautions to ensure GameStop never goes bankrupt. Popcorn just doesnât have that. It is very short-squeezable, but itâs not deep fucking value.
*âShort sellers must eventually close, or cover, their short position.â*
Ok, but why âmustâ they? This is another point I think has been lost in the memes. There are two problems with just saying âshorts must closeâ without providing context. The first is the simple fact that there isnât a due date. Unlike a common car loan or mortgage, a short position doesnât operate on a time table. They can wait forever to close, unless they get margin called.
This next part Iâm a little shaky on, Iâm probably getting some things wrong here:
Ok, well how are they going to get margin called? The problem I see is that these Short Hedge Funds (SHF) are making a lot of money by selling naked shorts. Itâs really hard to get margin called when they are literally printing money, and since they donât have to report these their books just look to be filled with an infinite amount of cash.
So, there are a couple solutions to this:
1, Government regulation. If the SEC puts a stop to naked shorting, these SHF canât print money anymore. Eventually the interest from their positions will eat them alive, and they will get margin called. Unfortunately, MOASS has the potential to destroy the economy like in 2008, so they probably arenât too keen on just doing this without creating some kind of safety net. So I canât really count on them to help, because the government has a vested interest in keeping MOASS from happening. Itâs just not something I believe will be the catalyst. Although they might just do it on purpose given the right reason, like pinning the economic collapse on a scapegoat, or by GameStop forcing their hand by exposing the fraud somehow. Iâve seen a lot of apes hoping for one of these reasons to come to pass, but for me, I donât see enough motivation from the participating parties.
2, A price run-up. If the price of the stock can unbalance the books of the SHF enough then they could also get margin called. Iâm not counting on this either, since the price is manipulated by the process of naked shorting. Sure, they are digging a bigger grave when they suppress the price like this, but it can also help smaller SHFs with exiting their positions with OTC stuff. Over-The-Counter trades are trades made off the lit exchanges, historically it was intended to kind of simulate a transaction between two individuals, like buying a video game from a buddy off the books, no taxes, no regulation. Unfortunately, this is abused by institutions and canât even be used by individuals, making dark pools of trades full of fraud and undermines the free market. Smaller SHFs that are more at risk of getting Margin Called due to their lack of collateral, can make OTC trades with the big naked-shorting market makers to âcloseâ their positions using fake shares. Of course, this only passes the buck so to speak, but itâs a viable strategy for them since the big SHFs that take on these âbucksâ are less likely to get margin called. A lot of historic short squeezes happen because a small SHF gets margin called, then drives the price up and causes a bigger SHF to get called, and so on until theyâre all in the grave. This is why I donât really give a shit if the price goes up to $80 in a week, itâs not enough, the buck has been passed. (To be clear, I donât have proof that this is the reason for the uptick in OTC transactions, itâs just a theory. If a smarter ape than I can get on this that would be great.) But, even if a price run-up itself doesnât cause MOASS, it may give motivation for the true trigger:
3, Interest Rates. Here is the big one that I look at, that I believe will be the true cause of MOASS. Now please, correct me if Iâm wrong again, I am just an ape who dropped out of college. So, from what I understand a Short institution has to pay a certain amount of interest to the people they borrow the stocks from. This is the cost of borrowing and is how these Lenders make money. For a long time, the interest rate was at like 1%, this means that selling one naked short could cover the cost of the interest 100 times over. However, letâs say that the interest rate becomes 110%, sounds crazy, but this would mean that borrowing the share would cost more than the share. This would destroy the balances of the SHFs and ensure they get margin called. Why would this ever happen though? Because these lenders want to make money. These lenders are the real winners of MOASS, and they arenât talked about enough in my opinion. Lenders canât sell the shares theyâve lent out, their income is in the interest rates, there has to be a balance here between it being more profitable to lend the shares or to sell them. If Lenders start to think that lending their shares arenât making them more money than the alternative, they will raise interest rates to make these profits until SHFs canât pay them, then the SHFs have to return the shares, causing MOASS with the massive buyback, then lenders can just sell the shares on the way down. Lenders have a monetary business interest in causing MOASS, so they are the most likely cause of it in my opinion.
*âThis is the GME MOASS thesis. GME is a stock that stands to hit an unprecedented price point due to the fact that manipulators of the market have failed to bankrupt GameStop thanks in huge part to the Legendary Keith Gill AKA* u(slash)DeepFuckingValue*, Ryan Cohen, and all of the GME investors who took part in this saga. It may not be today, this week, or even this month, but one day soon, these toxic participants have no choice but to buy the stock to close out their short positions.â*
I donât think this is necessarily inaccurate, but I think itâs misguided, and the language here is a bit to emotive for my taste. I think the reason the company didnât go bankrupt is because of the strategic share offering made by Ryan Cohen to build up more cash than the companyâs valuation (at the time). All the other stuff was just dressing, DFV and retail did not make RC do this, this move by RC is what ensured the company literally canât go bankrupt, until then (and at the time this was posted) it was still a risk in my opinion. So this huge thanks feels kinda like a pre-cum celebration, and I've never really liked putting Keith on a pedestal, he's just an individual investor, just like the rest of us.
FAQ, Published April 12, 2021, by u(slash)BYE_TRIANGLE
*âWhy does Holding do anything?â* *âThey need your shares to cover their short positions! They got greedy. Thinking GameStop would fail, the short sellers started Naked Shorting the stock. Long story short they created synthetic stocks with their special privileges as Market Makers. But they canât cover a short with a synthetic share. So because of the Naked Shorting, the Short Sellers, multiple large greedy money managers, and Hedge Funds need a total number of shares greater than the number available to purchase. THEY NEED EVERY SHARE, EVEN YOURS CONAN!â* *âaRe YoU GuYs MaNipuLatIng THe MaRKeT?!â*
Holding does something else that I think is really important. It proves that retail is not responsible for the manipulation of the price. You see it in the mainstream media every time the price fluctuates, they say that retail and Roaring Kitty is driving the price up for the memes, and that the âmeme stock craze is deadâ whenever the price falls, claiming that retail is selling. However, it quickly becomes clear to anyone with the willingness to research that retail holds. Holding doesnât move the price at all, so they literally canât blame this sub for the fuckery that happens.
Now, on the flip side, I know people on the old sub to buy and sell with these fluctuations, they did it during the sneeze and Iâve seen comments claiming to do it last week. I think this is why Roaring Kitty really had to speak to congress about this, because a legitimate-seeming argument could be made that retail was buying and selling at high volumes. The loss and gain porn on the old sub could be presented as evidence. Here though, apes hold, we glaze purple doughnuts.
So when MOASS does happen, the massive price increase will be only due to buying pressure from SHFs, so they are the only ones that can take the blame for what happens next.
*âNo one knows how high the squeeze could take the stock price. The best rational reasoning says that these numbers \[500k per share\] are possible through the laws of supply and demand. Furthermore, it is likely that the Short Percentage is a lot higher than reported, with many suggesting that the short-sellers, cumulatively, need more than 100% of the float to cover.â*
A lot of naysayers will claim people are insane for thinking that phone number prices are possible. They will cite that it would make the companyâs valuation higher than the amount of money in the world, which is true. However, with the nature of fraudulent naked shorts being fake, the price is fake too, and the valuation of the company doesnât necessarily mean that the whole float will be sold at those prices. Yes, it shouldnât be possible, by all accounts it wouldnât make sense, but it is possible due to the naked shorting. Also, institutions that own shares likely wonât HODL out for the phone number prices, they will sell when they think itâs safe, and when they wonât get in trouble with the SEC for destroying the economy. The infinity pool (the shares that will be sold at these prices) will be a small fraction of the total amount even among retail investors. So the argument that I see against the possibility of this doesnât hold a lot of weight.
Keep in mind that even though âbuying pressureâ moves the price up, someone has to be willing to sell in order for someone to buy. So as the price creeps up from $100 to $1000 to $100000 to $8675309 someone will be selling on the way up to get there.
*âSynthetic long positions could be used to disguise their short positions as well, the mechanisms behind this practice utilize the options markets and could explain some of the crazy options activity that we have seen in GameStop the last few months.â*
So uhm⌠I donât understand âSynthetic Longsâ at all. Could an ape with more wrinkles elaborate on this? From what I can extrapolate, this may refer to an institution purchasing a naked shorted share from someone else?
*âWhile at the same time they employed the use of social engineering to slowly depress the positive sentiment for the stock on Reddit and elsewhere.â* *âYou may have been called a Shill for one of a number of reasons. This community is very inclusive and open to everyone, but because of the blatant attacks this forum has suffered a lot of people are understandably paranoid. (Myself included). Please, unless you really are a shill, donât take it personally.â*
I want to address this, because there is a lot of misconception about SuperStonk. A lot of people will claim that this sub is just an echo chamber cult that canât handle anyone questioning the narrative. This may seem true on the surface, but I think the reality is just that weâve become hyper sensitive to the social engineering the old sub fell victim to, and I remember this sub being attacked with that as well. So whenever we see a post that has extremely emotive language, we become skeptical and down vote it. Emotions have no place in investing, that is a common rule touted in even the oldest investing books, so posts that try to incite an emotional response are shot down. Apes arenât about to be manipulated again. That being said there are emotive posts that still get upvoted, ones with positive hype-filled narratives. Since these get upvoted and the negative ones donât that sometimes gives the impression of an echo chamber. This is because the facts do support the MOASS thesis, so a hype title and opening paragraph is just more agreeable with the facts-based narrative. Some people are just scrolling on their phone and donât have time to read the whole post.
However, if you go into the comments of these posts, there are apes investigating the profile history to determine if posters are bots, regardless of the pushed narrative. If you look past the upvote counter, apes are very skeptical of any post that isnât based in fact or harmless memes. The comments rule the post, and I have to say Iâve very proud of this sub for staying vigilant in the wake of Reddit restricting moderation tools.
*âRyan Cohen clearly believes in Gamestop, to the point of announcing that he will be taking equity as compensation. In fact, as of writing this all of the new Gamestop board members are going to be taking equity as compensation. This is seen as an incredibly bullish sign of the company's future success.â*
This is one of the principles of Deep Value investing, I wish this was elaborated on more of why this is bullish. This means that the board, and more importantly Ryan Cohen, is tying their individual self-worth to the company. Due to this tie, they will essentially âgo down with the shipâ if the company goes down. This means that the board and Ryan actually have an interest in the company doing well, instead of having an interest in making money off the company. You may think this sounds like the same thing, but itâs not. If RC cared more about money than the company, then he could destroy the company to make money (this is whatâs happening to popcorn), but by tying his worth to the shares, the only way for him to become richer is for the company to flourish.
I donât really like the language being used here, stuff like âclearly believesâ âseen as incredibly bullishâ are all pretty emotive and doesnât actually explain why these are positive growth signs for the company, they are just saying it is âbullishâ, the average new investor isnât even going to know what that really means. Even though GME is extremely manipulated, causing Technical Analysis to become increasingly difficult to depend on, the investment is still rooted in fundamentals of deep value.
*âBelow is a shortlist of some of the potential catalysts people are speculating about:*
-A Stock Split, or some similar move from Gamestop that recalls shares -Gamma Squeeze -Gamestopâs Q1 Earnings Call -Some speculate Gary Gensler (Newly appointed head of the SEC), may make some move that sets things in motion -DTCC rule changes taking effect -Appointment of a new CEOâ Yeah⌠this feels bad man. Iâve talked about this already, but we can rapid fire down this list.
The stock split didnât work out, since those in charge of distributing the splits did it fraudulently. Gamma Squeeze is the kind of thing that could trigger a smaller hedge fund to get margin called and cause a domino effect, but Iâve shared my theory of the OTC action. Earnings are nice, but public sentiment has always been more tied to the media manipulation than actual facts. Fucking Gary.
On the subject of bringing in new talent, I do feel like a big move will happen soon. Weâve already seen a lot of job offerings from the Corporate side of GameStop so this could be the next phase of the plan. I really think that RC has spent these last few years taking precautions to make sure the company canât go bankrupt, the last thing he wants is to turn out like Toys-R-Us. A lot of downsizing happened, so now he can start thinking about upsizing again.
Iâm not necessarily saying that these things canât trigger the squeeze, but I am saying that depending on something to start it is just inviting disappointment. I think the âno datesâ rule has been sorely forgotten lately with all the hype and speculation around Roaring Kittyâs tweets and stuff. I am a zen ape, it happens when it happens.
*âFirst of all, it is incredibly important to note your potential biases when determining if someone is just a shill trying to spread FUD. Not all FUD is invalid, someone may bring up a solid point against an otherwise great DD, and that could scare you. Remember that just because you do not like what someone is saying, doesnât make it invalid. It is important users here work with constructive criticism to refine their theories.â*
Damn, wasnât I just talking about this? This critique isnât going to just be wagging fingers, this is really good stuff that still applies today, and from what Iâve seen apes are doing a great job of distinguishing between FUD and legitimate criticism. I also want to take a second to thank the mod team, especially after their tools were restricted, theyâve been a great help.
*ââŚbut since then retail investors have been buying on every single dip in the price⌠That's more than two whole months of buying-the-dip. Now, I will not speculate on numbers here, if you want to know more you will have to read the DDs on that.â*
This is pretty outdated now. Apes have been buying for three years now, and with the advent of Direct Registering we have a much better idea of how much apes hold. I can say with confidence now that retail owns a floats worth of shares. Since there is so much naked shorting, a lot of institutions probably own their own floats too.
I glaze those purple doughnuts, yum.
Citadel Has No Clothes, Published March 14, 2021, by u(slash)ATOBITT
Ohhhh, this one is special to me, I read it when it first came out, first time I was there on release night. Letâs see how it hodls up.
*âTL;DR - Citadel Securities has been fined 58 times for violating FINRA, REGSHO & SEC regulations. Several instances are documented as 'willful' naked shorting. In Dec 2020 they reported an increase in their short position of 127.57% YOY, and I'm calling bullsh\*t on their shenanigans.â*
58 times. I donât actually know how much that number has gone up, but Iâm sure it has. I am reminded of an old saying, that if the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it only a crime for the poor. The crime being done to GME is class warfare, itâs nothing less.
*â$295,347,948,000 of that is split into options (calls & puts), while $78,979,887,238 (20.52%) is allocated to actual, physical, shares (or so they say). The rest is convertible debt securities.â*
This is why Iâm skeptical that itâs even possible for Citadel to get margin called by a normal price run-up. Letâs do some math here. GMEâs float is at 232 million-ish shares, letâs say they shorted 300% of that, just to be conservative (lmao), so thatâs 696 million. To take what the first post said, Margins donât get called unless an entitiesâ collateral becomes less than 80% of what theyâve borrowed. If they use their entire $384,926,232,238 portfolio as collateral, then GME would have to soar to a price of⌠divide by 4, multiply by 5⌠$691.32 per share. That may sound relatively reasonable, but I donât think a normal catalyst would be enough for that. I really think interest rates are the key, think about it, if they have to pay like 30% interest on all of those shares, their portfolio will be reduced by that much (kinda) and we can find a much more reasonable midpoint. Now brace yourselves, Iâm about to spend an unreasonable amount of effort on something that is probably wrong because I donât know shit about fuck about margins or getting called (I have a cash account and I lack rizz).
In order to calculate that we gotta do one of those double equation variable bullshit things we all hated in school, I forgot what they were called but I remember how to do them.
So, we have a few variables:
C = Citadelâs Portfolio = $384,926,232,238
S = Shorted Shares = 696,000,000
I = Intrest = 0.30
X = Price Per Share
Y = Citadelâs new portfolio amount after paying interest
So, X and Y are undetermined, but we have two equations to work with
C â I(X*S) = Y
This one calculates how much money is going to be in citadels new portfolio after paying interest, we calculate the interest by multiplying the cost per share, by the amount of shorted shares, and multiplying that by the interest rate, then subtracting it from their total portfolio.
Y * 1.25 = X * S
This one calculates the total amount those shorted shares have to be in order for Citadel to get margin called, by multiplying their new portfolio by 5/4 and calculating the total cost of the shares.
X * S has a direct value; we can plug the left side of the second equation into the first to get
C â I(Y*1.25) = Y
Now we just gotta isolate Y on one side of the equation.
C = Y + 0.3(Y*1.25)
C = 1.3Y * 0.375
C= 0.4875Y
C * 0.4875 = Y
Y = $187,651,538,216.03
Now we gotta find X, we can just plug in the other stuff.
(Y* 1.25)/ 696,000,000 = X
X = $337.02 per share for shitadel to get margin called on 30% interest.
Holy shit, now thatâs what I call reasonable. See how much interest can completely fuck a portfolio? They lost almost half of their portfolio value to a 30% interest to this. This is why the whole market will bleed red on the run up to MOASS, they will have to sell half of their portfolio just to pay the interest.
Citadel is probably not a good example of this, since they print the naked shorts themselves... so they would be paying interest to... themselves... when they borrow them? Citadel is so fucked up, I don't have enough wrinkles for this.
But hey, I think the concept of what I said is fine. High interest rates can reduce collateral and cause margin calls. Hey, just out of curiosity, how much is the borrowing interest rate looking now?
16.5%
SHF are fucked.
Anyway, Iâm writing this on a Wordpad document so Iâm not sure if Iâve come up on the character limit, but I think Iâm getting close so Iâll end this part here. Please let me know what Iâve got wrong or any insights you want to share, Iâll be sure to talk about any interesting comments when I do a part 2!
TLDR: I am reviewing the Diamond Handbook (2nd) and seeing what has changed in the three years since itâs been compiled. I have a bias in thinking that high borrowing interest rates are what will cause MOASS, and that is shown here. This is not meant to be an impartial analysis, just my thoughts. Not financial advice.
