They are all evil, so just choose the cheapest one.

Start reading about business, and start thinking about a micro business you can start with very little money, and start doing it. Never forget that the ONLY goal is to make a profit, because that is your income.

If you’re going to work that hard to make some rich guy richer, why wouldn’t you do that for yourself?
I had that revelation 30 years ago, and I’ve been mostly self-employed since. Even in those times when I wasn’t, I was still working for my own benefit, not anyone else’s. Those jobs didn’t last long. I can only work for myself. I’m a good boss, I get away with everything.
- Comment on Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule 15 hours ago:
I’d consider it for:
- The right job
- The right money
But it’s going to have to be the kind of job I would put in those kinds of hours for free, and get paid at least triple what is reasonably expected.

Good, keep those freaks away from the rest of us.

Prices always rise, that’s life. But when I can get equal service at half the price, I’m taking the cheaper option. I need the money more than some evil transnational corporation.

Ask them, I’d bet you’d find some takers.

I just quit Verizon after nearly 20 years with them. Their service got worse and worse, and their prices kept rising. I switched to T-Mobile, and the service is about the same, but it’s less than half the price.
- Comment on 'Clanker' is social media's new slur for our robot future 21 hours ago:
That ship’s already passed, women have been loving on hand-held robots for decades now. I would bet that some women love their buzzy little friend more than the man in their lives.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks some jobs will be 'totally, totally gone' thanks to AI, but he still wouldn't trust ChatGPT with his 'medical fate' 21 hours ago:
We are entering an era in business in which the paradigm will be to give the customer as little of the goods or services they are buying in exchange for the most money they can extract for supplying the minimum. No longer will companies respect customer service or the customer experience.
- Comment on “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said 1 day ago:
Hear that college students? The President just gave you permission to pirate all your textbooks.
- Comment on They even got their own island 1 day ago:
Not really, because guys that age are 100% INVISIBLE to females. All you got is zits and a curfew, which you can’t even violate because neither you, nor any of your friends have a driver’s license.

"DADDY! STOP INVITING MY FRIENDS TO PARTIES AT YOUR FRIEND JEFFREY’S HOUSE! YOU KNOW THAT EVERYONE THINKS HE’S CREEPY! AND YOU, TOO!
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 4 days ago:
Because spineless Establishment Dems have some obsession with “playing nice,” even with vicious MAGA Nazi enemies. I have a million questions, starting with:
Why didn’t Biden have HitlerPig and his henchmen arrested within the first 60 seconds after his Inauguration?
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 1 week ago:
Sounds a bit like Severance.
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 1 week ago:
Nah, the other stuff will all fit on your computer’s hard drive, this is only for porn. They should call it the Porn Drive.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 1 week ago:
I’ve used Samsungs for years, but they have gotten too expensive for what I need, so I went for a Pixel this time around. I got issues with it, but mostly because I’m so used to the Samsung universe. Still way better than an Apple.
I guess I’m a Spanish drug dealer now.
- Comment on Reality vs Fantasy 1 week ago:
I used to work in management for a Fortune 100 company, and they’d send people around for little afternoon management seminars on one thing or another (usually sexual harassment stuff).
One day, one of the visitors mentioned that money wasn’t even in the top 5 reasons that people work, and tried to move on from that, but I stopped them, and made them repeat it, and then said “Well that’s not true at all. It’s literally the ONLY reason ANYONE goes to work.”
They tried to argue it, but I just said "If it’s a Payday Friday, and the boss doesn’t hand out the paychecks, and tells everyone that there won’t be any future paychecks, but they’ll see everyone on Monday, the boss will walk into an empty office on Monday. Nobody works for any reason other than a paycheck "
And that was a great job, that almost everybody reading this would enthusiastically grab without thinking twice, but nobody is going to do it for free.

“He’s one of the good ones,” is how people have always explained liking a minority that they know, while still being prejudiced against the rest of their race.

Tower Records and/or Borders Books & Music.
- Comment on Genius 3 weeks ago:
If you’re going to be self-employed, at least be a good boss to yourself. It doesn’t make sense to treat yourself like the worst boss you’ve ever had.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 3 weeks ago:
Go to work for ICE, and be the worst worker in the history of America. Then you earned your money gumming up the works of an evil organization, and you can feel good about taking their money to hurt them.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been self-employed for about 30 years, which puts you rubbing elbows with other self-employed business people.
I have learned that while MOST people want to run a friendly, moral, legal business, and would never cross the line, there are a plenty of amoral businesspeople who don’t have any problems crossing the line.
Furthermore, they are well-aware that many businesspeople won’t cross the line, so that makes their willingness to act illegally or immorally their personal competitive edge, and they absolutely look at it that way.
They watch for decent, moral businesses, and they target them in various ways, either as a competitor, a supplier, a contractor, etc.
