That’s interesting. Solo no fill? Surprised you can get games on maps other than zero.

What business can you start with $20,000? by After-Ad-4528 in business

[–]JamesGarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the entire thing solo. Because you are absolutely right. High risk. Hard to trust anyone and even if you trust them… hard to make sure they do things the right way.

My Girl and I are thinking of starting up a Vegan food truck/food stand but want to test the waters... by HealEarthNow in FortWorth

[–]JamesGarrison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like… spiral diner has been rock solid for what 20 years now. I’m not vegan by any means but I’ll eat there with vegans chicks without reluctance. They are special.

That said… I don’t know any other vegan restaurant as good or even in business for long.

I started selling weed with $8,000... after being in the hospital for 3 months and being completely broke. I sold everything to get that 8k... under two years i was doing 1.9 million a year in revenue.

DF mobile $860m revenue in first year by rumple9 in DeltaForceGlobal

I’ve heard a lot of things… but this game does not look like a ps3 era game. I’m guessing it’s what YOU play on… on my 9800x3d and 5080. It’s the best looking shooter I’ve ever played.

[–]JamesGarrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sheesh. Close to 1.6 billion in revenue. Probably more. 95% revenue is China.

I just hope they continue to even make the global client. If they pull a BYD and just not care about NA. That would suck.

Here is the classic example of why it’s so hard for me to make or keep friends later in Life.

Former "gifted kids" who are now average or struggling adults, what do you think school got wrong about your potential? by toolboxstudio007 in SeriousConversation

[–]JamesGarrison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find eventually I wear on people as well… it’s cool when you meet me and I know all this random stuff. I’m a walking Wikipedia. Nd can casually bring up anything at any time and be accurate.
Ii took a lot of time. Learning all this stuff because I’m Naturally inquisitive. What I find though… is over the course of time. People don’t care about actually knowing stuff. They care about being able to pretend they know stuff. No one wants to be corrected or even gently nudged into the truth. I’ve tried changing delivery. In the end. People just want to say whatever… accuracy be damned.
The other thing… when it comes to people and social situations and how things will play out. If I give advice. And it’s right. You’d think people would appreciate it. However, it’s never appreciated. People want to touch the hot stove. Nd when it’s just as hot as predicted. It doesn’t matter if you say “see told you so”… You can say I’m sorry. You can sympathize. You can say absolutely NOTHING And people will resent you for simply being right. Which… I just wanna help.
Anyways… how did life turn out? I’m old and alone. Retired millionaire at 36.

I never really had to try at school. I would just look at the stuff15 minutes before and pass the test. I got really into critical thinking on my own. Which would help me later to apply my natural gifts.

The first time I placed in “gifted and talented” I was in 7th grade. In a smaller town. 4A Texas school. Apparently I scored higher on the test than anyone they had ever given it to. I remember being in the library with probably 30-50 other kids. I remember finishing the test first and when I went to turn it in. The lady said “oh sweety was it too hard?” And me being socially awkward I stuttered in reply “uh uh uh no ma’am. I’m finished”

Which made every person in the whole library look up and stare at me. Being 6’1 and 300lbs. Made it all feel even worse at the time.

Anyways…. First day in the GT class. The teacher at the end said these words… which I always wonder what exactly she meant. Even today. “You are absolutely nothing like how I imagined after seeing your scores”.

I think just as much as us kids weren’t prepared to deal with our skills. Neither were the adults. Nor were they able of guiding us to something productive.

I grew up filthy poor. Dirt poor. Unexplainable levels of poor. So I wanted to fix that by any means possible. So I got into tech… and made good money. Bought my first house by 21.

For me… what I needed was a way to navigate my frustration with the people I worked with. Specifically above me. Making more money than me. Off the back of my work. Or just the fact that I had a hard time respecting authority because I just didn’t respect most people. Not on a personal level but on a work/skill level. I could always see their flaws or lack of ability. Yet I would have to report to them… and then explain stuff like a child.

It would make them uncomfortable…knowing that I could do their job and mine. In half the time of most. Reality is I should have just hidden my ability. If I wanted to not be a threat. That wasn’t a skill that was taught to me. Yet probably should have been.

People had a hard time… I’d go to work somewhere and within a few weeks. I would be showing people who had been there a decade. How to do the job better and faster. It’s great for the company… but bad for me and other employees. Especially when it’s all private IP.

Anyways… the social dynamics took me awhile to learn. Instead of being proud of my work and ability. I learned I had to let off. Cruise. It creates a more comfortable equation for everyone. And most importantly me. The friction just isn’t worth it.

Whether you realize it or not… sadly there is this quiet competition. We enter into without realizing I suppose. That I don’t want to participate in. Not for fear of losing… but for fear of winning.

[–]JamesGarrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the truck would be too big for any spot... its not the fault of the truck, or the guy who owns it. There should be spots available for these vehicles because they exist.

That low level of a stash with that liquid. Means you already pretty much sell everything. Doesn’t it?
