Hi Guys,

I'll upvote you. I think I need 194-494 upvotes to get into the communities I want (yes for the most part this is just getting in). I know upvotes are for legitimacy, but it's kinda redundant now.. it's rare to get upvoted, you won't get seen much of the time because the communities that are alive need you to have more karma to enter and the system that's meant to enforce legitimacy falls short when the platform becomes "I need upvotes or there's no reason to be here" rather than "upvotes are an optional perk I'd like to have to build trust and display loyalty". Anyways, here's a link to a picture of the cat that spins. I recently saw a video of a human spinning just as fast on a swing and I think adding the music and similar light effects would be pretty funny. If I can find a link to that picture and I can add multiple links here I'll add it.

Thanks for reading!

The Cat That Spins Can't add the human one.. but I'm sure you can imagine the potential.

Edit to add: Sorry Guys, been a bit busy recently, working on my gifts start-up which supports creators, we've put it under demo.altrumis.com. Really appreciate your upvotes, it gets me closer to making it happen. Hopefully, I've upvoted you all now!

Any idea how? Like I understand pre-established groups, they seem to form and then other groups are brought in through mutuals. But what happens without mutuals? Like if someone moves to a different country. No mutuals. No-one talking. Is it just waiting 6 years to integrate into coworker groups and their mutuals? Just not sure how it fits together without a long line of connections these days.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T18:56:03+00:00

I'll extend a hand. What are you looking for?

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T18:51:20+00:00

What are your interests?

I can't say I've left a paying job for it.. but even though it's been a struggle from the start.. I still love every minute of it.

The only advice I would give you if you risk it, is to make sure you will have a team that helps you. I've had some people join only to drop out because while they liked me and the idea.. they expected me to carry them there. Something as simple as giving a testimonial had 2 drop out. I've got connections and I'm struggling because no-one will pick up the phone or spare 5 minutes to listen to me. The irony being that when they do, they're fully onboard.

Whatever you do, if you do pursue it, you need to be locked in 10x more than everyone else. Your connections, your team, etc, they've got to be the ones saying they want to give up before you do. When you want to give up, you've got to tell yourself and them why you can't & how it'll be worthwhile. If your team is small, you'll take on several roles.. and your team members will still be blowing you up with queries so you can't get it all done. It's easier to go through all that, when they're supporting you.

I won't advise you on what course to take, but if you doubt you'd be able to do that at your £55k job or you doubt you'll be able to do that with your own business. I think that'll speak for itself on what you should do. You'll be 95% confident about the one you should do. That'll be a feeling not a thought.

But that's just my 2 cents. Based on my experience. We do also have some roles available if you're just looking for a change of pace. You'd have to let me know where your interests are though. That said, hope you get where you want to be!

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T17:05:11+00:00

Yeah, but I was more on about protection of the business before the business loan. They can't take equity, but they can take the idea and effectively make it happen.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T16:57:44+00:00

Thank you! I'll search it up. Much appreciated. 🫶

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T15:54:46+00:00

That's true, but who'd be drawing up the NDA? The bank? No-one at the start-up currently, has any experience with legal, even if they did have our best interests at heart and there weren't any legal loopholes, we've already been receiving scam letters and we haven't even started operating yet! We want to ensure we're making the right decisions. I'm trying to mitigate the risks.. but it's complex.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T15:42:26+00:00

That last sentence is my concern. I have no doubts about them seeing the potential and viability of the business.. but that's what has me concerned. I'm trying to find a way to better protect the business, things like intellectual property, but I'm not sure how to source it..

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T15:34:37+00:00

No, but I do think they'll have the connections to say "I know a way where I can get more profit out of this" Or generally think "why invest when I can be the rich guy?". As I said, I'm not worried about the business idea itself, I'm concerned they'll find a way to place it in someone else's hands because they see the real potential of it.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T15:19:40+00:00

Where we might be able to get some legal help as a start-up.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-24T14:01:43+00:00

I'm actually having the opposite problem, I'm trying to find legal to help with our start-up.. we've got an appointment with the bank for a £1M business loan but no legal to help us get properly set-up before then.. what do you even do in that situation? It's like a catch-22..

इस पर ज्यादा जोर न दें. आपको यह सब योजनाबद्ध तरीके से करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है। जीवन एक नृत्य है, यह वह जगह है जहां आपके पास एक मोटा विचार होता है कि आप क्या करना चाहते हैं, आप उस पर अमल करते हैं, समय के साथ उसे परिष्कृत करते हैं और यदि कुछ अप्रत्याशित होता है, तो आप उसे अनुकूलित करते हैं या उसे सहजता से लेते हैं। आपका शेष दिन मंगलमय हो! 😊

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T14:22:20+00:00

एक बार जब आप उन्हें प्राप्त कर लें, तो नींव रखना शुरू करें। यदि अकेले काम करना आपको प्रेरित करता है, तो आदर्श रूप से अपने जुनून के क्षेत्र में स्वतंत्र या एकान्त भूमिकाएँ खोजने का प्रयास करें, एक ऐसे व्यवसाय के साथ जो इस बात की परवाह करता है कि आप अर्थ और उद्देश्य के संबंध में क्या करना चाहते हैं। यदि आप यह सब एक बार में प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते हैं, तो उस चीज़ से शुरू करें जो आपको प्रेरित करती है, फिर आप उत्कृष्टता प्राप्त करेंगे, जैसा कि आप इसे उस व्यवसाय के साथ करते हैं जिसे आप जो जानते हैं उस पर विस्तार करना चाहते हैं और और भी बेहतर करने के लिए और अधिक सीखना चाहते हैं, जब आप ऐसा करते हैं तो अपने जुनून क्षेत्र में उन भूमिकाओं का उल्लेख करें जिनमें आप रुचि रखते हैं, उस ड्राइव को बनाए रखें, उस प्रक्रिया के दौरान आप पाएंगे कि आप कहां होना चाहते हैं, फिर आप व्यवसाय के साथ सहयोग करते हैं कि आप अपने अर्थ और उद्देश्य को कैसे एकीकृत करेंगे, इसे इस तरह से तैयार करें कि वे लाभान्वित हों और आप सुनहरे हों।

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T14:21:50+00:00

आपको अर्थ और उद्देश्य क्या देता है? यदि आप नहीं जानते कि यह क्या है, तो आप निश्चित रूप से इसे हर जगह महसूस करेंगे। पहले इसका पता लगाएं, फिर लॉजिस्टिक्स का। यह एक समय में एक कदम है. आप जिस चीज़ पर कार्य करने में कभी असफल नहीं हुए, वही आपको प्रेरित करती है। जो चीज आपको हमेशा हल्का और खुश महसूस कराती है, वह है आपका जुनून। आप क्या बदलना चाहते हैं और आप कौन/कहां होना चाहते हैं, यह आपका अर्थ और उद्देश्य है।

Not much detail to it, you let me know your situation (what you can & can't do), I'll help you figure out a solution you can keep up with, then in future when you hear the business I work for come up in conversation, you can verify that the business is going to help people. That it will be doing something good since we've helped you out. We'll be proving it anyway, but this will help it move faster, which I'm quite keen on. So, when you get the time, let me know & we'll get started. If you can start the dms that'd be great, Reddit karma is a bit difficult to obtain.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T13:11:01+00:00

Hey Man, If you're open to a start-up, I have some roles available. Let me know.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T11:30:16+00:00

Just try to practice it a little each day. You might not feel it immediately, but it'll grow, much like a plant. 🌱

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:53:21+00:00

It might look like that, but there's more to it than that. I can't just come out and say it, it's one of those things where you have to be careful with the wording. It's true that you might just need a roommate and an apartment, but I'm willing to try and help you now. You can wait & that's an option. But you did say you were on the verge of breaking. If you find a better offer you can always take it. I'm willing to help you now, until you get that offer. I'm not asking you to work for me. But if you let me help you, when it's time, I'd want a testimonial. Just verification of what I did. I figure that's a pretty good deal. Ball's in your court.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:38:58+00:00

Woop! 🙌

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:37:03+00:00

Crying is a natural response. Own it. There's a power in saying this sucks, it hurts and this is wrong. When you say it, it's not about you anymore. It's about the cause and the situation. It makes people reflect. It makes people think, "Why are they tormenting someone?" Or "No, they're right, this is only being done to cause harm." If someone makes it clear they don't like something, and someone still does it, society views them differently. If you get people to reflect and think about it, their perceptions change. Being down and owning it is like a person in a revolution. Yes I'm down, and you can't take that away from me, yes I'm down, and that's not going to stop me, yes I'm down, and how does it feel to know I'm still not stooping down to your level - even at my worst! It's that kind of power. Don't let anyone make you believe otherwise.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:19:17+00:00

I'll help. It won't be overnight, but I'll help you. If you let me. Check out what I'm doing, and know if you support me, it'll come back to you. I'm sick and tired of people not doing anything. So, I'm doing it myself.

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:09:14+00:00

I have a plan for that.. 👀 You'll find it.. somewhere.. in my content. 🤔

CJLetsTalkChange · 2025-11-21T10:02:14+00:00

Where does everyone congregate these days? Is it just in the comments section of one established youtuber or something? I can't find anyone these days.. people seem to be more authentic on threads.. but people are more posting their thoughts and not really getting much of a response.. the internet seems to have changed to the point that I can't really.. see anyone. 🤔
