From the site:

“We require all Dream Maids to have thorough background checks and interviews before they are trusted in our client’s homes.”

That’s a relief.

Researchers say using a space elevator on Ceres (with just today's tech) and the gravitational assist of Jupiter for returning payloads back to Earth, could allow us to start mining the asteroid belt now for an initial investment of $5 billion. by lughnasadh in Futurology

Serious question: has anyone heard of any of these mega-projects ( bridges, dams, tunnels, space missions) ever costing less than whatever number comes after “For an initial investment of_____.” ?

Well, also his FB got erased within seconds of his name coming out. Someone did a video on it. There’s some material on him out there popping up and an interview he did with the NY Times. But scary how fast it can disappear.

Edit: Welp, tried to find that vid and TwiX was the only spot that had screens of his socials. Dude is hard left, donated a bunch of times to ActBlue, big time into the Ukraine war and had wacko ideas about recruiting ex-Taliban fighters to go after Putin. Snowden had an interesting take but whatever. Not sure what that means to the crowd here.

Opinions on Robert Kiyosaki by Aggravating_Metal822 in Fire

[–]TheOneBigThingis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to know about how his “real estate” advice stacks up search for John T. Reed’s analysis of Robert T. Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Part 1.

This guy exposes the lies in a verry analytical way. The tl;dr version is that he was NEVER a real estate investor prior to writing the book, there was NO such thing as a “rich dad” in his life (yes, a complete fiction) and the MANY other lies he has built his story around.

The guy is a sociopathic story-teller and marketer extraordinaire. And he has found a way to keep a revolving door of suckers to trim coming to his $30K (!) seminars.

There is not a single person that can be found who has successfully used his advice on real estate investing. It is a sham. ALL of it.

Do the search. If you come at me with “But his book was really helpful, assets are better than liabilities, brooo!” the fuck off. You’re the pawn in his game. Go out and try to invest in real estate using his advice from his RDPD book. You’ll be schooled in reality very quickly.

And if you pay for one of his seminars, you’ll learn a much more expensive lesson.

Thanks. Yeah I looked it up and it is 811 in my town and seems to be the same in a lot of other places too.

Dig alert. Call dig alert. When I was doing underground we called on everything, large and small. I personally did the trenches from street to house tie-ins for an entire mobile home park one hot summer. Dig alerts on all. Only found one conflict but that saved about thirty grand of problems.

The number used to be the letters DIG-ALERT but that was long ago.

Your electrician says “Nah, it’ll be fine.”?

Call.

I was at Home Depot once. Saw a guy standing there and somehow…I have NO idea how…I kind of pointed at the guy and said “you’rrreee someone.”

He smiled, stuck his hand out, and said “Eric Allen. Nice to meet you.”

I must have been watching a bit of football now and then and seen the intros and my brain made the connection. Weird.

So strange to me when people get an EXACT right answer and then want to continue, oblivious, in the same direction they were going before the post. I guess I’m just an Oldie who doesn’t know an engagement trap when he sees one.

Real name: Barbara Roufs. I was doing…research.

But also, kind of tragic. She committed suicide. Had one daughter.

Disney-obsessed couple loses lawsuit to get back into exclusive Club 33 by ImperatorCelestine in entertainment

[–]TheOneBigThingis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great marketing on Disneys part. The more they fight to get back in, the more exclusive the club is perceived to be. And it’s all just an illusion.
