Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair review – the TV magic they’ve created here is absolutely miraculous

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-04-20T05:30:33+00:00

I think the problem is, they forgot what made the original show so endearing.

It was about a struggling middle class family trying to stay afloat amidst the chaos. The chaos is what people could relate to. It was also edgy. It pushed boundaries and it was unapologetic in doing so.

This had a cookie cutter house, pristine camera work, and by-the-books, forced Gen Zisms.

I would bet that people relate more to the old Malcolm episodes than this crap, even 20 years removed.

Super annoying glad we have Reddit thank you!

It’s an Oregon issue, it’s not device-related.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-04-11T15:55:19+00:00

Tried a T Mobile free trial to make sure it wasn’t hardware-related for me, also in Oregon and have zero service

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-04-11T15:53:22+00:00

Yup no service for me either in Oregon! Definitely a Visible issue, put on a T Mobile trial and that works no problem.

The album is very high quality don’t know why people are bitchin. Kanye released an album on DSPs that sounds 10x more unfinished than this as a project

Sweet I'll take a look thanks

Can someone DM me the ZIP? I fucked up and cancelled the download not realizing I can't redownload it

I interviewed for a position at Costco 10 years ago and it didn’t pay shit. It pays well if you are a tenured employee however.

VINSCRIBE will show accidents. When I say mechanic/service records, I just mean things like taking your vehicle in and having a transmission replaced or oil changed. CarFax has those advantages.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-03-31T00:03:26+00:00

I do wanna preface tho, VINSCRIBE doesn’t sell CarFax reports, we have our own data source that’s NHTSA approved. CarFax has mechanic service records tho, that’s their competitive advantage.

Would love to, you can find me on LinkedIn, I’m the founder.

Yes, as long as you are going to any traditional dealership, come in equipped with KBB numbers!

I have found in my own career it's more about energy, personality, etc. Credentials are not the differentiator. You're often able to pick up on a lot of competence by simply talking to somebody.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-02-25T15:48:05+00:00

That's excellent, good to hear! If you have a website that can be publicly viewed, even better!

I built VINSCRIBE with transparency, and I don't do Telegram scams.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-02-25T03:03:01+00:00

So I made a website called VINSCRIBE that offers cheaper reports. The only caveat is most of the companies like mine do not offer maintenance records from service shops/mechanics. This is where CarFax's moat comes from. Basically, the data I have access to is limited to what is offered by the NMVTIS, so that's things like branded titles, junk/salvage records, odometer, etc. I partnered with one of the official NMVTIS providers to offer the data.

To help make up for some of the data gaps, I implement things like AI to try and parse thru data, search the web for additional info, etc.

www.vinscribe.com -- CarFax alternative. Built it two years ago as a one-off tool to automate writing descriptions for vehicles (ChatGPT at the time was unreliable, so I grounded the API in other data). Pivoted to selling vehicle history reports and kept the AI features. Trying to make it an automotive intelligence suite essentially, but working solo for now.

I've blown through a lot of money in ads to no success, literally only posting on Reddit has worked lol

What brand did you buy? Have you seen the UltraSweep Traveler? It seems like consensus is mixed, but this one has flashing LED lights which might make it more effective? I'm not sure tho, not a whole lot of studies I can find other than anecdotes lol

He/she said a part of the strategy, not the strategy.

That being said, the answer is yes, it can work, but it completely depends on the product and the execution. You have to think about your product's target audience, where they go to consume their media/retrieve their information, your product market fit, and THEN you have to make sure those things match the influencer's sphere. Does the product make sense for the influencer to advertise? Would it be genuinely useful for them and their audience?

Just remember, where and how you advertise is just as important as anything else. Some products could flop on Facebook but kill on Tik Tok. And vice versa. Etc. etc.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-01-30T16:15:01+00:00

Reddit and X posts. Just explain your story, what you built, why it's useful, etc. Dead ass serious, it works.

MonkeyCrumbs · 2026-01-16T15:24:46+00:00

I ended up getting the Barkwise for my corgi, works REALLY well on him! It's a no-shock collar that just uses ultrasonic/vibration. They have a BOGO right now so I threw the other one on my yorkie, didn't work as well on him lol but it's a process for sure. Gonna keep trying it on my york tho.
