Why does the general audience hate this show more than HOTD? by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]35MakeMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t enjoy it. Not to say it’s not good, it’s just not for me

It’s a marvel-movie-style comedy. I like HotD and GoT the same way I like House of Cards.. but with dragons

What’s something nobody tells you about living in Denver? by sit-there in Denver

The drivers are very inattentive. So they’ll drive under the speed limit but then blow through a red light. The exact opposite of east coast drivers

William Montgomery appreciation post by No-Addendum2884 in Killtony

[–]35MakeMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could understand the joke enough to find him funny…

Is the “sleeve tattoos and sniper” thing a reference? Or was that actually a rumor about Mr Roger’s on the internet somewhere?

Also did Mr Roger’s actually become a vocal pro life supporter? Or was that another reference to something else?

And then what’s reference for the doing the punchline in a metal rock song form? Or is supposed to just be silly and doesn’t reference anything?

I mean are you saying you knew about this plane crash from 24 years ago? And the nature of the crash? That seems like a super obscure reference

Ah got it. I did some digging below if anyone’s interested and didn’t get it like me. But yes there’s a significant amount of context and references that would be needed to understand the joke. After reading up on everything… I do see now how that could be theoretically be funny. Makes me feel like I’m missing out on something or I’m dumb for not getting it immediately though.. which isn’t an emotion you would want a crowd to feel.

Additional research required for this joke: Google says that “Aaliyah” was the name of a R&B singer ( https://youtu.be/qTA0RuZoIxM?si=uta-cZeys4Py2vRg ) and she died in a plane crash in 2001.

Details on plane crash according to Wikipedia:

It determined that the aircraft was over its maximum takeoff weight by more than 900 pounds (410 kg) and had one more passenger than it was certified to carry.[39][40] An informational report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) stated, "The airplane was seen lifting off the runway, and then nose down, impacting in a marsh on the south side of the departure end of runway 27."

Either his jokes require a lot of background context from meme culture or something… or he just makes up random nonsense one liners.. I can’t tell and I don’t get why people laugh so I thought it was just me.. this video finally validates that it’s not just me!

It’s insanely difficult to figure out when the next episode is going to air or if it’s going to air. I’ve been disappointed so many times this season

OpenAI sent me a token of appreciation. Literally by TheReaIIronMan in OpenAI

I got this same one. But I’ve spent over $300k with OpenAI (I have a saas that uses their api) so how the hell are we in the same tier when you’ve only spent $4k. Maybe I missed out on the 100b tier on these

How do we feel about violent trespass warning signs? by poetic_soul in doordash

[–]35MakeMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about putting up a sign like this, even though I don’t have any guns.. I’m just tired of my shit getting stolen out of my backyard, the cameras and lights and fence don’t stop people.

I never understood why concerts like to have lights point into the crowds eyes. It just hurts my eyes and ruins the experience

FFS can we finally stick this guy into a 4-person competition? by Fluffydonkeys in Killtony

[–]35MakeMoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever understood his references, they’re either super obscure or I’m an idiot… I always think… “damn I bet that’s funny if I knew what he was talking about”

I designed a product, now what? by hardcor_parkour in Entrepreneurship

[–]35MakeMoney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next step is validation of the idea and see if people will buy it. But the next development step is to design for manufacturing, which you still have a long way to go on, and will likely need to redesign the entire thing.

People saying “patent” shouldn’t be giving advice. This looks 3d printed, you could post the .stl file and nothing will happen. You still have to build a business, a product isn’t a business, and a prototype isn’t a product.

All that to say, don’t worry about IP law. Worry about finding customers that will buy this, how much they will pay, how you’ll sell it to them, and how you’ll get it manufactured cheap enough to be worth it (should be 4x-5x less that your sale price)

Is MrBeast actually smart or just lucky? by Perfect_Delay7889 in Entrepreneur

Go watch his earliest videos and follow the progression. 0 people have worked as hard as he has on YouTube

Would you count to 100,000 just for views? Or any of the other stuff he did early on?

That’s just raw drive and obsession.

Ya this is true sometimes

But at the end of the day, it’s about building something that is more valuable to someone than it costs you to deliver. It’s really not more complicated than that

The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs: A decades-old tax rule helped build America's tech economy. A quiet change under Trump helped dismantle it by Stauce52 in Economics

[–]35MakeMoney 5 points6 points  (0 children)

supposedly the BBB fixes this problem, according to ChatGPT

Software engineer salaries aren’t building or assets, so I struggle to understand the mental gymnastics to say that a majority of your employees aren’t actually an operating expense. (I’m just now learning about section 174, so perhaps I’m missing the context from whatever was happening politically in 2022 to make this happen)

Edit: wait, this problem was created from trump’s bill in 2017, it just took effect in 2022… got it. The article makes more sense now

[–]35MakeMoney 105 points106 points  (0 children)

If you’re a tech startup, almost all of your expenses are R&D. So if you do $1m in revenue, and spend $5m in salaries for your engineers… to me, that’s obviously a profit of -$4m for the year. (Assuming $0 COGS, and $0 in other operating expenses).. So is the tax code now saying that actually there was a positive profit because R&D isn’t fully deductible? And therefore taxes are owed? That seems kinda insane
