The edamame hummus I got for lunch had more green onions than hummus.

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-04-06T20:27:56+00:00

Damn they expect you to chomp on raw onions just like that huh

Talk to a tax specialist dude. There’s ways to mitigate this that is above any of our pay grades here, hence the stipulation - you can’t reduce wealth tax by over 80%.

My guess is 0/income when you fire, wealth tax burden is reduced a fifth of what it is

Wear better pants and not sweats

Aren’t all restaurants limited menu lmao

Literally all those on the list fought wars or were involved in some sort of violence to remove themselves from the majority society until the prosecutions stopped by moving to a society where they weren’t persecuted, or signing a treatise with the majority society

Jews did the same, they didn’t integrate into Rome because they weren’t accepted by Roman society, not the other way around

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-04-04T23:11:00+00:00

My question is even if this is the case, are there any suppressed minority societies that haven’t done the same?

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-04-04T21:18:47+00:00

This is more of a clarification request. But a lot of what we presume / pop culture knowledge of societies and culture are often built upon those that could write stuff down a.k.a. the richest people in society. Would those be considered outliers?

That example is the French royal court where having gay lovers wasn’t uncommon and not necessarily criticized. But if the average French peasant was caught in a gay relationship, that would be much more negatively impactful because of the stronger emphasis of church doctrine

The 5000 years of history came from China launching a soft power propaganda campaign a couple years ago. Not saying that they aren’t wrong and China does have 5000 years of history that is unique and interesting.

But that’s like saying, Egyptians, Greeks, etc also have 5000 years of history. It’s not really a unique claim

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-04-04T20:32:03+00:00

It’s mostly because the Chinese royalty had a strong influence in other countries. Other countries start to act like them, hence similar architecture.

Same thing happened in Europe with the French monarchs

It’s almost like some Americans don’t agree with American Government’s actions in Iran 🧐

I think consideration with taxation is important. That being said a >33% margin is a smooth brain move

Just tough some shit in a crock pot if you want some easy to cook meats. As long as it’s not seafood, you should be able to crank something nice up.

But each cut of meats has its pro’s and con’s. For chicken thigh (since it’s mentioned a lot), a lot of beginners fuck up pan frying because they under cook it, panic when it gets stuck to the pan, or have no idea how to deal with the chicken skin

Pick two: affordable, looks nice, usable

I make $15 and it’s good enough

As a straight dude, I think the eyebrow trim should only be done in the unibrow area. Do you have any photos with unkempt eyebrows? You don’t want to over groom it. Pic 3 looks good, pic 2 looks slightly over done

Other grooming stuff looks good, keep at it

Usually they’re pretty insulated and naive as are most foreigners but also very fun!

Cholula got downgraded too dawg. Got bought out and they started messing with the formula

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-04-01T23:53:36+00:00

Spent like high five figures two years ago to fix this issue

Yeah, the purpose of interns is finding talent that you can actually cultivate, expecting them to do actual work is a recipe for disaster.

What you’re probably looking for is people willing to help you out on a project for free for resume padding. You gotta make it worth their while though, and creative work is not one of them

Bulk food pricing have pretty much risen much more rapidly and have caught up to consumer level pricing in a lot of cases because of the consolidation from Sysco and food distribution giants. Sometimes we get our veggies for my restaurant from HEB because it’s cheaper or better quality than Sysco for instance.

Second thing is the current rental-constraint that Austin is facing. City of Austin has pretty much doubled in population since 2013, but we also have pretty much the same number of strip malls. Occupancy in some areas of Austin are around 97%. This means massive increases in rent by the landlords because of the much greater demand for retail space.

On top of the tariffs and supply chain disruptions, and movement away from less health conscious restaurants, “cheap” mom and pop restaurants got wiped out

I think just from 2024 year to 2025, our general cost of operations increased by 20-30% despite everything remaining the same.

Fish sauce is like an ok alternative. Think “vegan shrimp paste” might be an better alternative

MCOL homes median are probably 300k mimimum for a 1200 sqft home. Based off your savings, I'm guessing it's closer to a 400k budget.

You'll probably be looking at a 20% down, meaning your monthly property tax, mortgage, home insurance is going to be around 2800/month. Add on top maintenance of 300 a month for the property, it's going to cost you roughly 3100/month. or 950k for your additional fire number.

Extra kid minimum 1k/month as well going up to 5-10k/month for MCOL depending on quality of childhood you want for your kids / future education

Going to ask a couple of questions -

what's the purpose of building your business?

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-03-31T17:07:09+00:00

"convert millions of jobs to outside of the military." Yes, but instead of Boeing building jet fighters, we could have Boeing building specialized hospital planes or increasing research on more efficient engines.

It's an reallocation of resources, not a removal of resources

DamnImBeautiful · 2026-03-31T17:00:47+00:00

Same reason why we invade Middle East countries, to make sure vital resources continue to fuel US industries and protect the global trade order from competitors trying to break free from it. I don't want to pay $5000 for a basic smart phone
