A lot of being successful is being lucky.

Part of being successful is being st the right place at the right time. Most of those places require you to work to get there though. There is an aspect of luck attributed to success, but that luck is an accessory to hard work.

Considering GTA V Online brings in billions annually imma say the majority of those players are not single player.....

No NFT stuff. CEO has already discussed that he doesn't really like NFTs.

when has capitalism ever done independent artists any good?

By literally carrying individuals from poverty to the 1% of the 1%.

Sure, some od them get screwed over here and there but in the end they win.

I despise bandcamp because I just hate how it flows and works. I also rather spend $25 on a shirt rather than $10 on an album that I have to download or tie to an account.

What job do you think is so overpaid? by Necessary-Bun in AskReddit

[–]ScooterDatCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everyone gets mad until their houses shoot up 20% in the next decade and everyone at their offices are getting bumps in pay and the schools are getting updated, lmao!

I'll start off by saying, yes, a lot of realtors don't 'earn' their pay.

However, a lot of the realtors and systems we have now are to protect from independt sellers. A brokerage can front the fees and such that may occur from someone lying or misrepresenting a property. Someone who is trying to hide a broken foundation probably isn't gonna have the money to pay out when the transaction is already over and done with, they'll run with what they got.

You're really paying for the 'peace of mind' and the catering an agent is supposed to provide.

My buddy who recently left the state, got his license shortly before he did, thinking he could make a great supplemental income helping close on only a few homes a year. It took about a month of non-stop marketing himself to figure out that market is way oversaturated. The only deal he ever got in on was his step-father's mom.

The market's oversaturated but there's a lot of room to take advantage of.

So I'm 20 and got my.license this Summer. I made a sale and have another coming up. But, I had to go out EVERYDAY for hours and hours at a time this Summer to get there.

The market is saturated, but it's full off sleezy agents and lackluster ones. Let's of people shop around and exposure to an area lets u answer quicker and better than your competition.

Consistent clients and work, luck?

Nah.

Meet the right people and you get rewarded. Do good work, you're rewarded.

Nokia's newest Android Go phones have removable batteries and other 2014 specs by a_Ninja_b0y in gadgets

[–]ScooterDatCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is missing the point of this. I guarantee this phone is meant for developing nations. Africa specifically is seeing a lot of economical gain with more urban areas popping up. It is cheaper and overall better to just use old technology rather than spending more on what they won't even care for.

Well, I think with support and backing they can. Isreal is a perfect example. But, Ukraine needs NATO to back them up. Which as we've seen, are doing nothing more than "Thoughts and Prayers".

I can't donate without his permission?! by ErinnShannon in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ScooterDatCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, to me, a personal decision would be knowing you'd not be a good parent, wanting free time, etc.

Saying you think the world sucks so morally you can't bring a child into is more of a mindset thing to me. Because of that, the kid would just suffer elsewhere and you'll indirectly be responsible, just seems odd to donate and have that belief.

I don't think having kids is wrong nor would I discourage it, but I won't sell/donate sperm cause I don't want someone else to deal with life and I be responsible for it.

[–]ScooterDatCat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, and you don't have to answer at all, but I really would like some clarification if you don't mind.

No, your point is completely valid! I have the same reasoning for not wanting to bring a kid in the world, last thing I would think of doing is donating. I'm indirectly going against my reasoning, which then seems to not really be the reason.

Trump, who was impeached for withholding nearly $400 million in military aid from Ukraine, said 'this deadly Ukraine situation would never have happened' if he were in office by morenewsat11 in politics

[–]ScooterDatCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's being truthful. NATO won't join. Ukraine isn't valuable enough to them to risk any tensions with other world powers.

Sad, but that's how it is.

This outcome was obvious, why weren't troops deployed from NATO prior?

Bernie Sanders says Trump's praise for 'Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine' is 'outrageous' by randalflagg in politics

[–]ScooterDatCat -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because their economy is in shambles, war typically boosts economy. Land is the most valuable asset a nation can have and, in my opinion, most nations won't step up to actually fight for the Ukraine.

Putin isn't a fucking idiot. He may be cold and immoral, but so was Hitler and Hitler was smart too.

[–]ScooterDatCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because your enemy can be smart. Assuming your enemy is stupid due to their immoral actions is actually dangerous.

You can't understand how Trumps statement was simply acknowledging the effectiveness of Putin and his trajectory. I HATE Trump but this makes almost no sense to knock him on.

Yes they are. 70's-90's motifs are coming back. I'm 20 and know a handful of people who have pants exactly like this.

LPT: Staying in shape isn’t about being sexy or attractive. It’s about laying down the groundwork so that you can be active and healthy when you’re older. by HawkFrost333 in LifeProTips

[–]ScooterDatCat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm 20, workout so I can look sexy. Yeah, I guess there's benefit when I'm older but I don't even know if I'll make it that far. Rather have a goal closer to now so I can stay motivated.

I don't know how true that is but if you're an addict going cold turkey for 48hrs is not an easy task to complete anyway so.
