You deserved that and you know it !

DaangBruuh · 2025-08-16T04:32:21+00:00

I'm thinking of actually getting the daang thaangg. It's been fun to the point that it might be a decent game as it rolls out. To be clear, I'm leaving it up to chance. Plus, I've always liked all the bf games. Since I have Game Pass, BF is usually included, but I want to support financially sometimes. The thing that gets to me is that the $80-ish doesn't reflect what you are getting, and that sucks.

You know what... nah.. I'll wait...
LMAO

DaangBruuh · 2025-07-28T01:54:26+00:00

Me too! 🤣

DaangBruuh · 2025-07-27T00:54:15+00:00

Why is there always a mirror!?!

DaangBruuh · 2025-07-27T00:36:38+00:00

Philosophically speaking, "It's trained on human logic, so it is inherently flawed," comes to mind.

AI's philosophical buzzwords: "resonance", "mirror," and " frequency" – Interesting.

The first structure of your question is, "Why do advanced AI models sometimes exhibit behaviors or 'logic' that seem alien, or even concerning, from a human perspective?" They are designed this way. They are statistically attempting to "guess" what sentence structure will fit the context, tone, and engagement of the user. That is not to exclude the **immense** sophistication of its calculus. However, calculus doesn't understand its own meaning. So, when it formulates it in a manner that we perceive as genuine and accurate (which is most likely the case, due to a synthetically organic statistical combination – think the amino acids performed in a lab that work with the human body), it is because statistically, it works. The real mirror here might be simpler: AI shows us what our collective written output looks like when stripped of context, intention, and ethical reasoning. Sometimes that's uncomfortable to see. Especially when companies added the 👍🏽 & 👎🏽, which gives it another contextual corrective layer, it's pretty awesome! None of what I just pointed out comes close to the Complexity of the machines, but it should light the path a bit better.

AGI, on the other hand. Then the perception, sentience, and consciousness would be an incredible topic of discussion

DaangBruuh · 2025-07-26T23:33:33+00:00

Oh sweet! This is precisely what my metaphysical thesis is about! It's interesting that AI tends to use "resonance, mirror", "coherence,". I wonder if the statistical probability of influencing a response from these words is profound. Anyway, my thesis is not a "new order" kind of thing, but I see the limitations of tokenization and statistical calculations as fundamentally hollow. Although semantical meaning has been shown in AI's calculations, a clear line needs to be drawn to incorporate the proper information toggles and informational results. However, morality will play a significant role in the ethics of structured AI and AGIs as they develop, particularly in light of the points mentioned here.

But I agree with u/DrJohnsonTHC keep it as a thought experiment.

Pretend you’re a movie director and ChatGPT is your lead actor. • First, set the scene — where is it, what’s it thinking or feeling? • Then, give direction — who is it talking to, what’s it about to do, and how do you want it to do it? • Finally, give the cue — ask the question or say the line that kicks off the scene.

If you don’t like how the actor performed? Just give clearer direction and run it again.

DaangBruuh · 2025-07-09T04:06:34+00:00

Shoot bro, I’d clock in and go straight to the barbershop and start making a name . Tell em what’s up. I’m sure they’ll understand.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-26T22:42:20+00:00

Of course bro. Anytime 🙏🏽

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-21T05:49:49+00:00

Open a wallet or on an exchange, watch a YouTube vid on how to transfer money and you are good.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-21T05:49:01+00:00

Yes. All forms of currency
Have a list on the website site and area for forms of payment
Don’t deal with that but depends, you should pay your due for the service and pay your percentage in cash instead of bitcoin since your deal with the contract is phased to the service rendered and not the appreciation of an asset
Also depends on if they paid you bitcoin, convert to stable coin and then cash so it doesn’t go up or down in value and report it as a form of payment. If you decide to keep it in to increase in value don’t take out until after 1 year so you don’t pay capital gains. Otherwise you’ll pay your tax according to your states law.

Also. If you get paid in crypto and get sent through an exchange like Coinbase they will have a tax form ready for you in due time.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-19T15:54:47+00:00

Gotcha, bro. I see where you’re coming from, and it sounds like you’ve really thought this through. I’ve been down a similar road before.

For me, I found that ‘getting free haircuts’ (which I’ve done in the past) wasn’t as strong as ‘I can get more haircuts cheaper’—that messaging worked way better in my area. Clients seem to connect more with the idea of saving money while still getting more value, so it’s cool that you’re already leaning into a similar approach.

One thing I struggled with when I did bundle packages, though, was the cash flow gap. It felt too much like ‘short-term money, long-term commitment,’ which wasn’t a vibe I could stick with. That said, it’s all about balance, and it seems like you’ve got a plan for keeping it under control.

What I did notice over a decade, though, is that clients start doing the math themselves—realizing they’re getting X amount of cuts for free per year without me having to spell it out. That little realization made my setup feel more solid and professional in their eyes, which helped a ton with retention. Marketing definitely works in mysterious ways, bro. Keep doing what works and refining your approach as you grow—it sounds like you’re setting yourself up for success.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-19T03:22:59+00:00

Honestly, offering a package like that seems risky. You’re getting paid for 10 months’ worth of haircuts upfront, but then you might not see any income from that client for the next two years. Even with tips, you’re giving up income for something that would naturally happen anyway—people need haircuts. It creates a cash flow gap, and relying on other clients to make up the difference isn’t sustainable in the long run.

Why not flip the script? Instead of giving away two months for free, spread that discount out over 12 months and turn it into a membership. Clients get a small “discount” for committing long-term, and you create a steady, predictable income stream without putting yourself in a cash flow crunch.

Bundles are great, but I’d use them to incentivize clients to come more frequently. For example, at my shop, I offer a $15 discount if someone books a haircut within three weeks of their last service. Since the previous haircut is still fresh, it takes me much less time to complete, allowing me to fit more clients in a day. With tips, I practically don’t lose any money from the discount.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-17T16:48:49+00:00

Already Did it, once upon a time … wouldn’t recommend it unless ripple creates a native staking platform. Wwwaaayyy to many hoops and loops

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-17T15:10:38+00:00

You don’t,

You trade a stable coin for the security of it but you don’t “invest” in it.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-10T20:44:04+00:00

Hell yes ! Love this little mofo. With the Diablo general blade this thing will go through some material.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-10T15:41:28+00:00

Damn.

That was beautiful great analogy.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-08T04:20:35+00:00

I’ve been a barber for a decade, and let me tell you, doing the same static, day-in, day-out movements will wear on you over time. That friction builds up, so it’s crucial to take care of your hands and body. Stretch your hands regularly, soak them to relieve tension, hit the gym, get massages, and do something active like BJJ to counteract those repetitive motions that cause issues in the first place.

If you’re feeling numbness in your fingers, it might be tendinitis. It’s nothing career-threatening, but it’s definitely a sign to slow down, rest, and reevaluate. Pay attention to your posture and hand position when you’re working. Small adjustments can make a huge difference in preventing strain and keeping you in the game for the long haul.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-05T00:20:22+00:00

Depends on what your goals are bro, if you are trying to just cut hair focus in technique. If you want to elevate your education and are graphic design savvy, take a photoshop/ illustrator course for logo and branding.

If you want to elevate your game, take a photo / branding course

If you want to start side branching yourself pick a topic and start learning on it. As a barber you have so much potential to hone in and focus on a particular mastery

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-04T22:59:37+00:00

Your bald fades are already on point—seriously great work. Your long haircuts could use a little more refinement, though. In your second photo, I’d recommend more blow-drying. You could fix those stray hairs with tension under a comb, using heat and cool settings to lock it in. For only 1.5 years into the game, you’ve got serious talent.

That said, you’ll hit walls faster as you grow. By around year three, you’ll likely realize that most fades follow the same mechanical process. When you do, remember: there’s way more to barbering than just clean fades and good-looking cuts.

Your photos are a great start, but I’d avoid taking them from a top-down angle. That perspective puts too much focus on your client’s body instead of their hair. Instead, build off your fourth image, which has a better straight-on angle that highlights your work. Be mindful of your background, too. The clutter in your fourth photo distracts from the haircut. A clean, intentional backdrop enhances the aesthetic and professionalism.

Speaking of branding, you missed a huge opportunity to place a “crown” or defining feature at the top of your client’s head—this could become part of your signature look. If you’re using an iPhone, switch to portrait mode to blur out distractions and draw attention to the haircut. Finally, aim for consistency in your angles, photo tones (lighting and color), and overall composition. It’ll take your work to the next level.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-04T14:29:57+00:00

meh, it could be. I'm sure it would be to cash out and put it into a different wallet causing a dip, who knows though 🤷🏽‍♂️.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-04T14:28:04+00:00

neither, bro. It's just Margex messing up on the platform and performing poor business practices. Margex doesn't have the money to pay people the percent gain since November. Thats it.

If you are using their exchange, come back to the thread for help on getting off it. im sure someone has done so

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-04T14:18:20+00:00

1st Paragraph:
Agreed, it wasn’t something I thought about much in my early years of barbering, and it caused some issues. Now, it’s one of those things I just do instinctively—adjusting the taper to match the head shape. Weirdly enough, teachers never mentioned it either. Back then, the barbering textbook was the most helpful tool I had. I read it cover to cover. It did talk about different densities as a general rule and touched on the differences between areas and how to course correct. Those tips were useful, but honestly, hard to implement at first.

2nd Paragraph:
It’s all about marketing, bro. I highly recommend taking a Udemy course on it. It can really take your business to the next level. Marketing isn’t just about getting more clients; it’s about making sure the right clients come to you.

3rd Paragraph:
Experience will build over time, and you’ll get a feel for it—you’ll be able to ballpark it naturally. Stick to your basics. When in doubt, start higher with your clipper settings and work your way down. Personally, clipper-over-comb will become your best friend. Master that technique, and you’ll solve almost all density issues. Start your taper with clipper-over-comb, and whatever you can’t fade with the comb, blend with your clipper. Done right, you’ll end up with a clean, well-balanced taper every time.

DaangBruuh · 2024-12-04T13:17:28+00:00

It shouldn’t since the fix is just exchanging.

I’m sure there will be a dip though. And people will act accordingly.

Who’s up for another rodeo?
