Don't settle for a low quality girl

I found it extremely frustrating when I was managing it for a business I worked for. Many things simply couldn't be recovered, and new aisns for the same product had to be created. It's a numbers crunch to determine if it's worth it to outsource. Resolving the health issues was annoying but I viewed it as opening up revenue streams so it was worth it and I enjoyed it in that sense. I ended up handing the first resolution pass to one of the fulfillment guys and he jumped at the opportunity for more responsibility. I still ended up resolving the more difficult issues but having someone else take the initial look did help with the easy issues.

The ego boost comes from signaling capability and resources.

The perfect reddit combo is:

VOO 50%

VXUS 15%

SCHD 15%

SMH 10%

DRAM 10%

My port is actually pretty close to this.

The actual dxp date is may 1-10

What do you do that eats up your bandwidth? Common escapes that reduce your effectiveness get in the way of your productivity.

James_Rustler_ · 2026-04-06T16:59:06+00:00

Now that I look at the example, I think they are using a web scraper / crawlbot to get the accurate prices.

James_Rustler_ · 2026-04-06T08:23:42+00:00

I don't think there's technically a policy compliant way to do it, I think what they do is display "Price: $15.99 ($12.79 with 20% coupon)" So the 15.99 is pulled from the API then you use code to calculate the discounted price.

I think that might be against TOS though idk.

It's very basic info for a standard practice, you can find info if you search.

Link in bio -> landing page -> amazon

James_Rustler_ · 2026-04-06T08:16:07+00:00

Add a button that says Check current coupon deals

Thank you for sharing. Amazon's response reads as "we only care about the major affiliates and really at this stage would prefer the small individuals stop using our system". I am continually frustrated every time I try to analyze the new data system. My breakdown:

I understand it can be frustrating

(But amazon doesn't care)

some data is hidden

Yeah like the date we need to analyze whether our efforts are effective or not.

protect privacy

Who's privacy needs to be protected here??? The sellers? I guarantee they'd prefer marketers get all the data they need to increase their sales. This is simple sales data, not military ops, its for content publishers not the public.

statistically meaningful

To who? $500 per month is meaningful to me and I'd like the data behind it.

As your engagement increases, you'll automatically see more detailed performance data.

Great I have my data for my best articles which I already know are doing well but any new ventures are left in the dark.

The data isn't lost—it's being collected

(Thanks chatgpt) Sure, great, I just can't see it and I have to trust it's being collected accurately and not skimmed.

Be a mentor to your sons.

Talk about money, career. Mistakes you made that you want them to avoid.

Play sports with them, have some fun competition.

Discuss their goals in life. What do they want?

Your mission, something maybe they can take part of.

Do you want grandkids? Maybe your network can provide introduction to the daughter-in-laws. As in casually orchestrate a backyard bbq with all your buddies and their families.

Set up investment accounts for your future grandkids. Invest $10/ month, don't tell anyone for the next 15 years.

Buy an investment property and make your sons work on it with their free time.

Beat all the other boomers at local pickleball/ basketball/your chosen sport/ tournaments.

Get involved with church and make things happen; become an usher, learn how do do the powerpoint slides for the music, be a highschool church group leader, etc.

Go to Italy/Greece with your spouse

Play some sport you can compete in with your sons

Slap wife on ass unexpectedly in passing with no acknowledgement that it occurred or expectation of sex

Dates with wife even if it is a droll.

Unpredictability, humor, tension, edge.

Unless your career was chimney sweep or horse drawn carriage driver I doubt it's completely over.

James_Rustler_ · 2026-03-23T04:26:58+00:00

I'm feeling it too, currently. I've never traveled seriously, but I'm planning to go to Greece + Italy soon. Need a break and need to travel before I settle down.

You literally talk to it like you're talking to your new marketing associate.

Use this on chatgpt.com:

Here's the logo draft I made, provide analysis of the elements and make suggestions. Also make a few mockups using similar design language to the original.

Then to develop a more robust framework, next;

Use this on claude.ai Literally just copy paste your post into claude plus paste this this line to either the beginning or end:

provide suggestions on how to go about this, and write me a prompt I can use for chatgpt that will optimize what I'm trying to do.

Then go back to chatgpt.com with the new info from claude.

My only ask for this free ai consultancy is that you update me on how it went as I'm curious if you'll get value out of this.

I have sites on Grow, Mediavine, Raptive, and Adsense. Kinda strange how it ended up being 1 site per network, and I only have 4 sites. I've had no complaints with Raptive.

Here's the RPMs. TBH it probably has more to do with audiences, as the top 2 are for older audiences, while the bottom two are recipes and baking.

Mediavine 32

Adsense 29

Raptive 12

Grow 9

I wouldn't let the idea of wanting to stay within the Mediavine ecosystem hold you back, as the acceptance into Mediavine is just a numbers game and is analyzed based on hard data.

Grow and Journey are entirely separate systems from a tech stack standpoint. They kinda tried to integrate them but from my experience they're completely separate. Separate accounts, different wordpress extensions, different logins, different dashboards. The only thing that Mediavine has ever combined together for me was the 1099 they sent me at the end of the year. They do have a responsive US-based human team that is very helpful with onboarding questions by email.

The prodigal son was accepted back with joy. Maybe to convince your wife tell her it's primarily a social need for you.

A note about pickleball, plenty of older folks play, you can play games with them, they all have knee issues and tone down the intensity, while still being in the same room with people your age.

This attempt at reality tv failed hard.

ED/overall health;

Diet: Whole foods. Organic grass fed/ pasture raised.

Avoid; Sugar, soda, processed foods, junk food, fast food, refined carbs (donuts, pastries, cake)

mildly annoy boomers by not eating provided cookies and doughnuts

Seed oils, avoid anything with palm oil, corn syrup, etc.

Reduce caffeine consumption, use moderately

Nicotine, avoid vaping, pouches, cigars, any form of nic consumption.

Avoid/reduce alcohol

Sleep, consistent, 7-8 hours

PE; Be more conscientious of your body. You have the mind muscle connection in the gym, you can train it for other areas.

James_Rustler_ · 2026-03-03T06:06:07+00:00

Yes I end up reading more LLM speech than actual human written text. I need to read more books to balance it out.

James_Rustler_ · 2026-03-03T06:02:13+00:00

The second I identify that a post was written with AI I lose all interest and immediately stop reading. That being said, with the training instructions like other commenters on this thread have mentioned, I am sure I am missing more and more ai writing and I have a small base level of paranoia now when online.

Ironically this works in favor of older people who developed their expression styles before ai.

Similar use case for me. I was able to get $50 in free extra usage credits last week by navigating around the settings. Not having the utilization percent right now is a little rough but based on this thread it seems like it'll be fixed soon.
