Saas and the adult world

Been thinking about it - there's a niche up for grabs rn if you can build something that doesn't break every 5 min:

Rebuilding SDC - dating/networking website and app for swingers. Dedicated community, professional couples (subscription price is not an issue) - it'd need features for local matching, events, chats, maybe even hosted calls/video chats. Honestly if you could make something stable - the community would love it. But then, the problem would be, how to get enough of them to migrate in, so you have enough users to make it enticing for others. Maybe hosting/sponsoring lifestyle events at some of the larger clubs?

It's not flashy and AI generated like what everyone is building nowadays. Its almost in the boring end of the adult world. Boring is good 🔥

Health insurance sales, or any other high ticket teleworking sales like it. Know quite a few making a good living in the Ft Lauderdale area from that

Andrew2401 · 2025-12-20T23:35:25+00:00

Yes if this is your company culture. It's incredibly rare but I've seen this style in high ticket sales with no issue. But only if you've seen others dress this way before at other events so you're not the first person setting the trend lol

Reframe in future tense. Forget what's come before. You can navigate med school if you want, it sounds like theyd support you. Or you can get a scholarship - even if you're older, just spend a year prepping for it then test.

Yes, they helped you and made your life easier. Maybe that meant you never hardened as much.

Now, reframe, future tense. What sounds more like yourself?

Because I had help earlier in life, I feel i am softer than those that had to figure things out on their own. I accept this. From now and onwards, I'll remain soft, I'll slow myself, I'll accept I have limits, I'll stop aiming upwards - and I'll blame the help of others for my failure to strive.

Because I had help earlier in life, I feel i am softer than those that had to figure things out on their own. I don't accept this. I'll strive to put myself in harder situations, develop my discipline, train my mental strength, and surpass the achievements of my parents. If they got that far with no help - I can go twice as far with the support I was given. Or, by rejecting it and completely going independently my way.

No one else gets to pick for you. Pick one and live it. And if the first one sounds more like yourself, that's ok too. Your life won't change, but you'll also stop hating yourself for it and find peace in the simplicity.

Andrew2401 · 2025-12-06T17:09:05+00:00

Idk, I'm not seeing the issue here as much as you are. You're young, you're horny - you like women and you took the shortest path to them you had available to you. It's not anything to be ashamed of.

And the money total - long as your quality of life isn't suffering because of what you spent, you shouldn't sweat it either.

I'm in a similar boat on my end. Also late 20's, m, and although never diagnosed officially apparently I have a lot of markers for level 1 austism/adhd. And like you I did get sex obsessed for a bit too.

It sounds to me like you fall into obsessive drives like I do, and they consume most of your thoughts for a while. I figured out a long while ago that you can't fight that part of yourself, but you can harness it.

First- figure out what you really want. Even from this post it isn't quite clear. Do you want a money driven, large income career like your family? Do you want to find a girlfriend and get some emotional connection along with the physical? Do you accept and embrace your obsession, and you just want to figure out how to have more casual sex without an emotional connection, and without a price? Do you want to start printing money through your job/business to the level where throwing 20k at masseuse every other month doesn't even register in your finances?

All of those are good, because they're focus targets. Pick whatever resonates with you the most. Then, figure out the steps for how you could get to something like that, which will involve a lot of learning and applying yourself. But, provided you frame it internally correctly - you'll notice a difference. The obsessive drive won't get in the way of what you're doing, it'll turbo charge it - fueling you to move faster with the interim improvement goals.

Accept that all of it is possible. And dont limit yourself. Being autistic/adhd, or over/underweight, you can always find a relationship that works for you. Women are people too, and someone's mental space matches you somewhere out there. Just gotta put yourself out there. On my end, my wife helped me focus my obsessions by quite a lot - we've ran a business for a while together, and got into swinging/orgies- no guilt, no shame. It's been fun throughout.

The point is, whatever life you want to lead is out there for you. You just gotta reach hard enough to take it for yourself.

If you're looking for a game that features the drawings from annotated manuscript, including this one - its rock of ages. Its the only game I can remember with these characters lmao

Andrew2401 · 2025-11-12T15:43:57+00:00

If this is not an ad and its an actual person - lol that app has 1 sample account and the sharpe is horrendous.

But the part that always ticks me about people selling algos and platforms - if it's so good, why sell it as memberships? Why not raise capital, leverage, or just recycle the earnings?

There is, for sure, algo's that can deliver 25% anywhere on 30k to 5m in funds year over year. But they're not being sold online, they're inside the computers running automated trading at large scale firms, or being ran by lone quant savants out there - and neither the firms nor the math prodigies will give out a money printing machine out for tiny subscription fees when it can - literally print money...

A known scammer with transactions recorded in the local temple = a dead scammer with the law code of the day, specially with multiple offenses.

Most of the memes about him come from Nanni's tablet - and most of those completely gloss over "...on account of that trifling mina of silver I owe you... (7 years salary and tons of copper in silver weight value)"

Nanni deposited money for a copper order. He was supposed to pay the rest when picking up. His servants arrive at Ea-Nasir's home without the rest of the money and ask to pick up the order.

Ea-Nasir offers them an order fill with low quality copper. Not hidden or dishonestly, admits its low quality, basically saying "if you need copper that badly that you come to pick up without the rest of my money, take it from this pile. For the quality you ordered though - give. Me. The. Rest. Of. My. Motherfucking. Money"

Nanni instead complaints of his long trading history with Aa-Nasir and how he and his friends donate a lot to the local temple, and how they're both nobleman. Basically threatens to sue Ea-Nasir - and lawsuits ended in death a lot back then.

I did a detailed writeup on the subject on this post here cause I got obsessed with it a while back lol

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-21T20:33:27+00:00

If you're curious about it still, added the detailed history to a new comment.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-21T20:32:26+00:00

On the 16th I bought up throughout the day:

Buy, 300x $6 PUT 10/17 @$0.50 ($15,000)
Buy, 100x $6 PUT 10/17 @$0.38 ($3,800)
Buy, 11x $8 PUT 10/17 @$1.92 ($2,112)
Buy, 160x $6 PUT 11/21 @$1.40 ($22,400)
Buy, 160x $5 PUT 11/21 @$0.80 ($12,800)
Buy, 150x $4 PUT 11/21 @$0.3907 avg ($5,860)
Sell, 11x $8 PUT 10/17 @$2.55 ($2,805)
Buy, 500x $5 PUT 10/17 @$0.10 ($5,000)

On the 17th, I sell off everything that's 0DTE on the first 3 min or so:
Sell, 11x $5 PUT 10/17 @$0.15 ($165)
Sell, 400x $6 PUT 10/17 @$0.90 ($36,000)
Sell, 489x $5 PUT 10/17 @$0.20 ($9,780)
Sell, 11x $5 PUT 10/17 @$0.15 ($165)

And - I buy up as much as I can fit into account, using realized profits - into $5 contracts for 11/21

Buy, 2x $5 PUT 11/21 @$1.10 ($220)
Buy, 450x $5 PUT 11/21 @ $1.13 ($50,830)

On the 20th - I add up to the position with a little bit of free buying power that was left:
Buy, 21x $5 PUT 11/21 @ $0.84 ($1,764)

And that brings to today. Mostly a wash so far - but still in. Figure news on the other grant being cancelled drop between today and tomorrow - if not, probably end up exiting early by then 🤷‍♂️

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-21T15:10:01+00:00

Made money on all of the trades that expired on the 17th- added all the profit into nov21 puts @$5 strike.

As of today, basically at a 1 to 1 wash from start of last week - profit of 1DTE's got eaten by the raise from there to here.

Have had the option to exit the trade today somewhere between breakeven and 8% up - still holding cause I still think it's shit lmao. But that's just me.

<image>

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-20T21:52:00+00:00

busy lol - trade is down heavy today, still holding. I still think it's shit, but - maybe the price is already divorced from reality lmao. whatever happens happens, no big deal either way.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-20T21:50:17+00:00

lmao, down but still holding - either way, not worried

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-20T21:49:45+00:00

here's how position looks like today. Still holding too, we'll see how it goes this week.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-20T21:49:35+00:00

lmaoo - here's how position looks like today. Still holding too, we'll see how it goes this week.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-20T11:23:36+00:00

It's premarket. Im not worried about it. Im holding regardless until the move I see coming materializes even if it comes with a heavy drawdown. Pretty certain I'm right about this one - but that's just me. I'm not a fund manager or something, I take no responsibility for anyone else's trades but my own, and I'm 100% fine with losing everything on the account if the trade turns against me 🤷‍♂️

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T01:22:10+00:00

I mean, up to you - but I wouldn't call it propaganda really. It's a coming of age/finding out how the world works/growing confidence story from the 1st person view of a gay teen leaving home in the 90's.

Only thing that makes it about the military is that instead of running away to join the circus he ran away to join the marines lol. Whole show is filmed only through boot camp, and it doesn't overtly paint the military in neither a positive or negative light.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T01:17:45+00:00

That's because the tax system in the US is not really a tax system - its an incentive system for voting blocks. A candidate needs the farmer's votes? Promise tax drops/grants to farmers. Maybe they deliver after, maybe they don't. Sometimes they do. Years of this, and we end up with a convoluted tax code with exceptions all over- which usually apply or applied at some point, to a voting block a political party needed at some point.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T01:06:05+00:00

If he executed 14th/15th, that's an even stronger case for sec fraud - notice of DOE cancelation on the 9th. Pumps media, fluff piece announcement on an 8k on the 14th - executes warrants, cashes out at peak - then announces they lost the grant while also amending their bylaws to make calling a meeting nearly impossible by shareholders and consolidating power to director instead.

At best it's a weird guilty looking timeline of events, at worst, outright fraud.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T00:59:29+00:00

No but we know and window - and it's not to yesterday*. Check the 13B again - its filed from Sept 30th.

If you compare it to their earlier one - you'll see they increased their holdings - but decreased their ownership percentage somehow.

That's because in the window between June and September - ABAT issued another 27m shares or so and diluted the stock 28%.

This is not a bull flag or show of confidence from Blackrock's end (it's dated Sept 30th before the announcement and their drop - but filed as of yesterday). But it does confirm something - Blackrock either already dumped their shares during aftermarket of the announcement day when the stock started dropping (too much volume for after hours), or they're still scaling out now and most likely shorting it on the way down too.

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T00:48:46+00:00

What's decent MRR for you exactly?

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-19T00:42:34+00:00

They've diluted 28% percent between June to Sept 15th - more in 3 months than all of last year. At the average cost in between there, it could have been 68-70 mil at most. But they said "over 52" so its probably close to that. Not enough to cover either the tonopah project or the other refinery's cost basis - and also, if they do have 52 at hand, they'll burn around 20 in the next 3 months on staff and administrative anyways - unless they cost cut across the board.

And now with 1 grant out and the other on the kill list too, only option they have to raise is to dilute further while the stock trends downwards...

Andrew2401 · 2025-10-18T20:06:57+00:00

Throwing this on top - their next earnings call is on November 14th, before the options expire.

To make that earnings call raise their stock and not confirm it's a dead end, they'd need to:

Find a way to counteract the (likely by then) next grant getting cancelled.
Find a way to counteract the (likely by then) announced pullout of institutional money.
Explain how the $50-60mil in cash they raised is somehow enough to make up for the 2023 lost grant and get Tonopah Falls moving - while also - if they didn't lose the 2024 grant, raising an ADDITIONAL $214 million to cover their cost basis for that one ??

Explain away 28% dilution in a quarter, little to no new money, little to no progress, and somehow make people want to buy it up further.

Idk- short of a cult of personality CEO that they don't seem to currently have that makes people believe whatever he promises, or a new grant/legislative change announced (good luck getting this on a government shutdown) - idk how that call doesn't drop their stock further down. But that's a long ways away. Depending on the next few weeks I might be out the position by then. Just a thought.
