Anyone want to bet that there are inventions that are great but would cost some people serious money and that's why we're not seeing them?

I know this guy, did judo for at least 20 years. Stopped doing that, but kept doing the bodyweight training every other day. Push ups etc.

He's now 70. I hope I can be as fit and strong as he is by that age. He still does his exercises every other day, and he still works in the garden etc.

So, what I do is even if I don't go to the gym anymore, I try to do bodyweight stuff every other day or so. Push ups, belly exercises, squats, pull ups on something. Yes, the gym is more intense, but if I can keep this up for the rest of my life the gains will be there.

I also try to be careful about what I eat, and I'm failing hard at that. I do walk a lot though, I have an active job and also a dog.

The problem obviously being that it is not the browser they want you too use, so they create "a problem".

Chatbots are crap. I had to talk to one with my ISP when I had issues. Within one minute I had to request it to connect me to a real person. The problem I was having was not a standard issue, so of course the bot did not understand at all... And I don't need a bot to give me all the standard solutions, I've already tried all of that before I even contact customer support.

Well, it's almost correct. It's just one letter off. Maybe if we invest millions more it will be right next time.

Or maybe it is just not accurate and never will be....I will not every fully trust AI. I'm sure there are use cases for it, I just don't have any.

Made the mistake of buying a Xiaomi for my wife. Fuck that phone. Everything that comes stock on the phone contains ads. Some you can turn off, some you can't.

Fuck Xiaomi.

Very cute. You can hand out an extra treat on my account. Dogs are amazing.

Just people making passive income guys, nothing to see here.

We once heard of a service that would help us find a rental house. So we went there, had to pay for an appointment. Turns out they do nothing you cannot do yourself, and you pay a lot. They literally just put you in the system, which you can do yourself, and when you get a house through that system, which is free and from the government, they make you pay through the nose for that house.

Of course, since I am native in this country I have no need for a service like that. Turns out they mostly do this to people who don't speak the language. I guess they offer a service, but their fees are excessive for what they do. They abuse the fact those people don't know any better.

There's lots of people making a profit from somebody else's house finding misery and I hate it.

Well I feel attacked. Because I am a man and I have never raped anyone. Yet, by such broad statements, I, and many other man are immediately put in the rapist category.

How would you like statements like all woman are thieves?

Doesn't feel right to put a lot of people in one category based on gender right? It is just as much bullshit.

Yes, most rape is from a man done to a woman. That does not mean that every man will rape woman. It's just not true, and you immediately lose any chance of having a normal conversation with a man if you start by accusing them of a crime. That there is no proof of, and did not happen in most cases.

Try opening up a conversation with any stranger on the street by accusing them of being a murderer. How long will that laat and how much are you going to achieve by that? It's just stupid.

If you want to change the world you have to talk to other people, build bridges and understand each other. Not wildy accuse each other of criminal behaviour just based on gender.

And that, is all the energy I am spending today on this nonsense.

Funny. I follow some creators, but if they don't post I'll just check back later, and the content will still be relevant.

If your followers just leave you if you don't post, your content is probably shallow and doesn't really add much value to the world.

The algorithm is also fucked, but you use it to your advantage when you can, so can you really complain about the downside? This is what you choose to work with.

That being said, making good content is hard and really time consuming. So I get that there is stress.

But I believe if you make good solid content that suits you and your style, you don't need to get into a pissing contest with the algorithm. Upload when you want, make what you want and you will attract viewers. They are out there, and they will find you through searching.
