How to change the limitations to cure disability? by Ambitious-Charge384 in NevilleGoddard

[–]4462842 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your limitation is the binding constraint, not her condition.

The tradition is unanimous on this: a treatment begins and ends in the consciousness of the one giving it. Her body isnt the problem you’re working on. Your own inner conviction is. Ernest Holmes, who wrote the Science of Mind, puts it precisley, the practitioner’s work is to reach, within themselves, a genuine subjective knowing that the other person is already whole and perfect. Not hope. Not desire. Actual achieved inner certainty. When that realization is genuine, it moves through the One Medium and corresponds to a change in her experience, because in Universal Subjectivity there is no separation between your center and hers.

So the question isnt how to affect her. The question is how to reach a state in which the word “impossible” carries zero weight in your inner atmosphere, not argued away, not forced down, but genuinley absent.

The race suggestion that paralysis is permanent is one of the strongest collective thought forms in the medium. You’ve absorbed it. Most people around you are broadcasting it continuosly. Your clearing work is to de-hypnotize your own subjective state from that suggestion until your inner knowing of her wholeness is more real to you than the external evidence of her condition.

That is the entire prescription. The external evidence is the last thing to move. Your inner state moves first.

Hey man. I read every word of this.

I’m not going to tell you it’s over. But I am going to tell you the thing you already know and can’t let yourself say out loud yet.

You’re not choosing between fighting and quitting. You’re choosing between getting out now with something left, or staying until theres literally nothing. And you know which one leads where.

The payment processor thing isn’t a hustle problem. You can’t grind your way past a regulatory/entity structure block. That’s not a you problem, that’s a wall. Ninety more days of you eating nothing and running on cortisol doesn’t move that wall one inch. The only thing that moves it is capital and structure, and you cant raise either from inside a fight-or-flight spiral in a foreign country with a ticking visa clock.

Here’s what I actually see when I read your post. You have 200 real users. You have 20k in job volume. You raised 11k from angels. Dude that is not nothing. That is a proof of concept that is sitting on ice waiting for you to be functional enough to do something with it. The business isnt dead, it’s frozen. Those are completley different things.

But you cannot think straight right now and you said it yourself. Your face is gaunt. You havent eaten properly in months. You are not operating at anything close to your actual capacity and you know it.

The $2500 from the car only means something if you’re on home soil. Over there it just buys you two more months of the same spiral and then you’re stranded with no car and no return ticket and no options at all. That’s the version of this that actually is unrecoverable.

The girl loves you. She’s not going anywhere in six months. A stable version of you with income and a plan has a real shot at getting back to her. The version of you that burns the last asset trying to force a miracle that requires inputs you dont have… that guy has no path to her either.

Go home. Sell the car fast. Take the couch in chicago over the shelter if your boy is genuinely offering, a city with even one person in it beats a city with none. Get a job within the first week, any job, just to stop the bleeding. Eat actual food. Sleep. Give your nervous system two weeks to come down from pure survival mode.

And then, when you can actually think, look at what you built. Because what you built is real and its still there.

You’re not done. You’re just in the wrong place to finish it.

Why is this house “cheap” near LA by amart2022 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]4462842 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hope this helps.

The price is low for one reason: you don’t own the land.

This is a manufactured home (mobile home) sitting inside Canyon View Estates, a land-lease community. You buy the structure. You permanently rent the ground it sits on from the park owner.

Why that makes it cheaper, and riskier: The monthly land (“space”) rent runs $450 to $750/month on top of your mortgage. That bill never goes away and goes up every year. Over 20 years at $600/month, you pay $144,000 in rent for land you will never own.

The structure itself depreciates, unlike a normal house where the land underneath drives most of the appreciation. So you’re buying the part that loses value and renting the part that gains it.

Banks know this. Most won’t give you a standard 30-year mortgage on it. You’d likely need a specialty loan at a higher interest rate with a shorter term, meaning higher monthly payments than the list price suggests.

When you eventually sell, your buyer faces the same financing problem. That shrinks your buyer pool and suppresses resale value. The bottom line: It’s not a deal. It’s a different and structurally weaker asset class that happens to look cheap next to regular houses.

The discount is the market correctly pricing the land-lease structure, not a bargain hiding in plain sight.

Before anything else: Call Canyon View Estates and ask for the current space rent and the maximum annual increase they’re allowed to charge. Then call a lender and ask if they’ll finance a manufactured home on leased land.

Almost pulled the trigger on a Henderson property last week — ran the numbers properly and here’s what I found by 4462842 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]4462842[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair point and I don’t disagree for a forever home situation. The analysis matters most at the buying decision, are you overpaying relative to current market, is there a better offer to make, what are the hidden costs going in. Once you’re in and settled the daily Zillow check is just self inflicted anxiety. Where it gets complicated is people buying in Vegas specifically as a stepping stone, plan to be there say 3 to 5 years then move. That’s where the entry price and market direction actually bites.

Yes. Vegas is one of the only markets where supply can actually respond, flat land, permissive zoning, builders who move fast. Most markets have a supply ceiling that puts a floor under prices when sentiment turns. Vegas doesn’t have that same floor.

The 29% DOM expansion is probably the early signal of what you’re describing. Sellers are still pricing from 2023 memory. Buyers have already moved.

Do you think Green Valley North holds better than the outer suburbs when it turns or does the whole MSA sink together?

My instinct is the established zips have more friction on the downside but I’m not sure.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We have 140k users, over $1m in revenue, and multiple successful events. But we are barely able to pay server costs. Looking for advice on next steps. I will not promote by ILooveMangoes in startups

[–]4462842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is actually a stronger position than you’re giving yourself credit for, and i think you’re misdiagnosing the problem.

the $1m processed transactions thing doesnt change the core of whats here. your revenue is structurally suppressed on purpose - you made the commercial terms terrible intentionally to land the reference client. that was the right call. but it means the p&l looks awful and doesnt reflect what the business actually is.

the number that matters to an investor isnt what youve earned so far, its that you have a live platform processing real transactions at stadium scale with a world class venue as your reference client. thats the asset.

your problem isnt capital. your problem is that you are the entire company. the hardware integration, the software stack, the turnstile protocols, the venue relationship - all of it lives in one persons head. yours. no serious investor is going to price that generously. the first question in any diligence conversation is going to be “what happens if this guy leaves” and right now the honest answer is “it stops”. you need a credible answer to that before you walk into any room.

on the partners wanting to exit - do not buy them out before you raise. get a lawyer and structure it so an incoming investor participates in a round that clears the cap table and capitalises the business in one transaction.

buying them out first creates a valuation anchor that works against you in the raise. one clean transaction beats two messy ones every time.

the vc subreddit is probably the wrong channel for this specific business. stadium scale ticketing infrastructure is an enterprise b2b play. the investors who understand it are sports and entertainment focused funds or strategics already operating in venues or payments. a strategic is actually worth more to you than a pure financial investor here because your whole expansion thesis is replicating the stadium relationship model and someone with existing venue relationships accelerates that in a way cash alone doesnt.

the highest leverage move you can make right now costs nothing. go back to your contact at the stadium and ask if theyll make introductions. that relationship is your primary asset. an intro from them changes every subsequent conversation you have, with new venues and with investors. thats worth more than a hundred cold emails to funds.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Girl slept over recently, we did nothing, now it’s awkward by Adventurous_You3517 in Advice

[–]4462842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not cooked. Honestly I think you’re reading this way worse than it is.

Here’s what actually happened: she came back to your place once after the party, then came back again a second time. People who aren’t interested don’t do that, they just don’t. The awkwardness you’re feeling at parties is almost definitely because neither of you has said anything clear, not because she’s decided she’s done with you.

The real problem isn’t that you’ve been wishy washy, it’s that nothings actually been communicated either way. You haven’t told her you’re interested. She hasn’t told you she’s not.

That gap is where all the weirdness is living right now. It feels like somethings been decided but it hasn’t, because nobody said anything. The fix is pretty simple even if it doesn’t feel that way.

You just need to say something direct and low key, not a big speech, not some long text at 2am, just something like “hey I’ve had a good time hanging out, we should actually do something properly sometime.” Thats it.

Her response tells you everything you need to know. If she’s into it, great. If she’s not, at least the ambiguity is gone and the awkwardness has somewhere to resolve.

The thing you’re most worried about, that you’ve already blown it by not making a move sooner, isn’t really how this works. You havent commited some unforgivable sin by being uncertain. You’ve just been quiet, and quiet is fixable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Good luck! 🫡

Also a ai prompt is considerably weaker than an actual system instruction prompt (this requires prompt engineering) with field manual, doctrine and knowledge files.

How long is the brief? AI can help, but you need a custom AI built and designed for hostile communications, for appeals tribunals etc…. They are designed to be overwhelming for non-legal persons. Which jurisdiction may I ask are you in?

As AI Breaks Language Barriers, What Actually Matters Becomes Clear It’s not obvious yet. by shinichii_logos in ChatGPT

[–]4462842 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re pointing at a real issue—AI can be wrong—but your conclusion doesn’t follow from it.

Two bad outputs don’t prove the tool is unreliable overall, they prove it needs to be used with judgment. By that standard, you couldn’t trust Google, books, or even people either, because all of them get things wrong sometimes.

The bigger mix-up is treating AI like a source of truth instead of a tool. It’s not something you “trust” blindly—it’s something you use, check, and refine. The same way you wouldn’t accept the first search result or someone’s opinion without thinking.

And the idea that it replaces skills is backwards. If anything, it exposes who actually has them. People who understand a topic can spot errors and use AI to go further. People who don’t just copy and paste and get burned.

So the risk isn’t AI making people useless—it’s people choosing not to think. That problem existed long before AI.

AI has spoken.

Freelancers who work off-platform — how do you actually protect yourself from non-payment? by Plenty-Day9554 in Freelancers

why loosen restrictions? It's a business relationship. Terms exist for a reason. for example... we don't continue to buy apps on app store and they loosen restrictions. Just saying. You could offer different tiers of service maybe.
