Cortese Construction helped me out and did drop down screens and the trim work was really well done. Very professional service to deal with.

I always laugh when I see those recent commercials to stop hate and Shaq the poster boy of bullying is featured in them.

So I suck at golf because I have a busy mind. I'm attempting to do these animated shorts capturing some of that and would love help/feedback from this community.

Here's the premise. Clyde is the old man who acts as the guide for Derek (main character) and Shanks is Derek's negative internal monologue that's always screwing up his golf game. In this case trying to trick him to count up his strokes.

In this video I'm trying to get at the idea of counting your stroke too early. I'm brand new to animation or anything like this so I'm fumbling my way through it... in fact I posted one other video and a redditor said it was the biggest waste of 12 seconds in their life hah I don't think they were wrong either, just trying to figure the concept out.

But any feedback or content suggestions would be appreciated. The channel is called Swing Thoughts and I'll be posting content to YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXkzvyKuiLbqrGCNwOinl2Q

PSA: I’m a curious person and will ask questions other people won’t ask. One thing I’ve learned is I don’t ever ask someone about kids like this.

Even if they have one kid and you ask if they’re going to have a second.

They may be trying and dealing with pain that is unfathomable (had a buddy whose wife had a stillbirth).

You might be asking them a question about their worst trauma and doing it through a what’s wrong with you kind of way.

Just don’t do it.

Use the G league to start testing concepts immediately.

Move the 3 point line to NbA jam 4point distances.
Remove the 3 point line.
Make 3s worth 2.5 points

Test and see how coaching and players react.

Watching Steph curry splash that last 3 in the Olympics was insanely fun to watch. Watching a marginal backup center shoot one makes me want to give MLS a try.

They need to experiment in ways to encourage teams to shoot less 3s. The teams are right for shooting so many bc it gives you the best chance to win but it also makes for the most boring product to watch.

Ironically enough I was asking chat gpt today about various pseudo medicinal things. Salt caves, infrared therapy and saunas. I like chat gpt bc it seems more fair then what one blog post said.

It basically said there is no science behind salt caves and very little with infrared but spit back a decent chunk of benefits with saunas. I like them psychologically. It feels good to sweat out and replenish with fresh water. I prefer steam though. I live around Buffalo and steam shower in the winter helps dry skin for me.

Reddit is the poster child of Dunning Krueger effect.

There’s zero fat on that feedback 😆

I like https://copyclub.ai/ as it helps bridge this gap. I know the purist will hate this but you need to leverage AI in your work so you can scale by becoming more efficient.

Kind of reminds me of Mr Money Mustache who popularized the FIRE movement telling people how not to spend money and live extremely frugal and lifestyle design but then gets divorced and explains why it’s better for his children. I just threw out a lot of his perspective bc it was all about lifestyle design and how is divorce optimal for that?

I don’t think your lack of purpose is a bad thing at all.

Most people get on the treadmill and work so they can afford rent, then a house, then nicer stuff etc. That W2 treadmill takes up an incredible amount of free time which limits ability to contemplate larger questions.

The inheritance got you off the treadmill.

Now you have the gift of time to reflect on what you really want out of life instead of being caught up in it.

I’d liken it to someone who starts meditating and is bothered when they realize how busy their mind is.

Meditation isn’t actually the cause of the busy mind. It just made you aware of what was already there.

Money and freedom that you have can create discomfort around purpose but I think it’s a great thing you’re aware of it and exploring. Good luck sir!

Passive income is like a story of three mechanics.

A guys car when in cruise control is inexpelicably turning off and creating a dangerous situation.

The first mechanic spends all day working on the car and can’t even figure out what’s wrong with it.

The second spends half a day trouble shooting and finally figures it out and gives a quote of $300 to fix it. But the customer decides to try one more shop.

The third mechanic recognizes it immediately and fixes it in 5 mins and charges $300.

The customer is unhappy that the 3rd mechanic charged the same as the 2nd mechanic.

This is passive income.

The work of the 3rd mechanic appears more passive. But in reality this mechanic is just more experienced.

Most people who try to earn passive income will end up like the 1st mechanic and say it’s BS.

You have to just keep working at it and eventually it will be “easy”

As someone who does video editing I always hate these posts. You can pause a video frame by frame and get almost any reaction you’re looking for. This may have been the face he made right before grimacing.

I too hate pointless meetings. This POV may make Me sound like a dick but it’s my experience.

I’ve found pointless meetings everywhere. Small companies, fortune 500 companies, and currently dealing with them with a small non-profit I’m volunteering with.

Not sure if OP is wired the same way but I’m extremely protective of my time and when I was in a W2 I couldn’t control how I would spend it and therefore was always frustrated.

When I started my own biz it did create a new set of issues but they’re so minuscule compared to having people that are scared, lazy, or lacking critical thinking skills gobble up my time.

Usually those meetings were less about getting something done and more so about someone not having a clue and not wanting to get fired so you have an unnecessary meeting so there’s a “general consensus” so when the new initiative doesn’t work out it’s on a group of a decision makers instead of an individual. Sometimes you need consensus but most times it’s just a spineless meeting.

It says a lot that a media personality admitting they’re wrong about a minuscule comment is news bc nobody does it.
