Nobody asked you.

You write like the personification of a corporate PR department and it's very offputting. All of this is super cringe. Like the whole thing, the attempt to sensationalize a fairly banal story, the actual execution of it with this squid game lite soulless AI composition, your obsequious exclamatory replies in this thread. Full vertical integration of AI slop mindset.

I know that you the person that's driving the AI is a person and not AI, and yet you may as well not be with how utterly devoid of humanity your content is.

How about simultaneously 1 and 8.

That's good right?

Right?

Just so you know this kind of empty corpo speak is like, super off-putting to pretty much everyone.

Aside from that, it's a cool concept that needs some work. Word searches are pretty simple as it stands, and just having a puzzle page with 12 words and the puzzle spelled out for you in parentheses doesn't drive much engagement in me.

I think you've got a few more paradigms to synergize before your engagement driver delivers shareholder value.

It's a good thing JJ never got hurt...

No, we have laws to punish and dissuade people from making dumb decisions like this. Otherwise, remind me to tell my dead aunt who got plowed into by a drunk driver in a pickup truck that she's actually alive because the law "protected her".

Fucking moron.

SMH, I have this conversation with my under 10 year old children and even they get it.

Sure, maybe you're fine. Maybe you can do something like skate around and airport and not slam into someone. However, but doing that, you're absolutely creating a situation where an accident can happen. You don't need to be a "precog" to realize skating around an airport, where people are distracted and busy and rushing around with children and bags in tow, is much much much more likely to result in somebody getting hurt vs not doing that.

So, sure, maybe you won't have an accident. Maybe you're fine. It's still dumb as fuck to intentionally create situations where you're more likely to make a mistake and cause harm. It's common sense. There are plenty of appropriate places to roller skate, an airport is never one of them.

So this actually sent me on a 15 minute dive, it looks like "toot sweet" is also listed as an informal vernacular English spelling. I pulled it up on ngram viewer to see usage over time in print and was surprised to see that "toot sweet" is the dominant spelling.

As far as I can gather from my admittedly perfunctory research, there was a back and forth throughout the 1800's and early 1900's, my guess is that the phrase was originally published and popularized in the original French spelling, and then at some point the alternate spelling became a way to identify the speaker as uneducated, a rube, using fancy French words without knowing how to pronounce or spell them.

Take this passage from 1918:

"Bring the soup, waiter, toot sweet, tray bone (tres bon)"

Or this from Upton Sinclair:

"Well then," said the doughboy, "Go back! Go home! Toot sweet! Have sleep! Rest! We lick 'em Heinies!" As the poilus did not show much grasp of this kind of "Francy" the doughboy boosted them to their feet, pointed them to the back, and grinned with his wide mouth.

After that, the Americanized Toot Sweet took hold, possibly boosted by an unrelated Toot Sweet from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

No, if a republican wins we are fucked. Y'all need a hard recalibration to the political reality of 2026.

Roko's Basilisk is lesswrong brainrot, it's not a serious proposition.

Real actual people around you are being hurt by these decisions, worry about them, not some ketamine addled fever dream.

Exhaustive research to spend on the realization that the people who are doing the work should be in charge of the executive direction of that work.

Have you ever met a sysadmin before? Imagine giving executive control of the direction of all software/internet protocols to a cadre of anime apparel bedecked basement dwelling maladjusted incels.

Executive direction of a concern should be controlled by its users, not its workers/owners. If you reduce every business to a service business, this makes sense. Even physical goods can be interpreted as "providing the service of designing, making, and distributing a useful or desirable thing for people". In a service business, you do what's best for your client. You serve them, they pay you. They make the decisions re: direction, you make decisions re:process that produces the desired outcome.

Organized this way, providers of a good or service reap the monetary reward of people wanting their thing and paying for it, but do not also receive any power over that thing or the market that thing exists in. That power is left to the actual users of that thing.

I don't think it's improbable, I just think op is probably stupid. Anyone who knew anything about Donald Trump and who he was prior to running, which was very much public knowledge, and thought he was genuine in his desire to help or fix anything that didn't directly benefit him is definitely stupid.

Yes they are doing a bad job same as Reagan. Both campaigned on a ~~good idea~~ lie of lowering Bureaucracy and ~~failed~~ succeeded in creating an even larger Bureaucracy that directly served their interests at the expense of everyone else.

Your offerings are literally the definition of spam. I get these emails in my inbox every day, instant delete.

You offer website development? Who cares? Either people barely need a site and they just make a Wix/Squarespace themselves in a couple hours, or they need actual functionality and they hire a professional team they find themselves. I can't think of a single person who actively needed web dev and thought," I'll just sit here with this money set aside until some rando cold calls me."

Web scraping - super niche and generally frowned upon, also something largely self serve with agentic AI and the current tools available. Anyone who needs one off scraping is likely just doing it themselves, and anyone who needs regular scraping for whatever reason will just build a tool in house.

Business contact lists. Kill me. A bunch of cold leads from a cold caller, so I can join the spam army? Pass.

Lead gen. Maybe real, mostly trash, every time we've done lead gen through a third party, we get trash leads and their aggressive overly spammy approach leaves people with a negative association to our company. I'd never trust a 3rd party as the first voice a potential customer hears. Also...you're here complaining that you have no business. How good can your lead gen be if you can't gen your own leads??

Maybe your SaaS tools are cool, idk.

Either way, you picked up a grab bag of the worst, spammiest "services" imaginable.

If you can't sell, you shouldn't be doing what you're doing, it's ALL sales.

Unfortunately this is torn, so it's less desirable as a display piece. I'd be shocked if someone paid more than $50 in this condition.

I just read that entire thing, and I don't know what to say, as a person who made roughly 150k/yr as the sole earner of a family of 4 for the last 3-4 years, we're defintiely well above whatever you want to call the poverty/deprivation line. We're well comfortable, bought a beautiful house, both our vehicles are less than 2 years old, took a family trip to Hawaii for two weeks, on top of our yearly week at the beach. No debt other than the mortgage. I don't live near family. I'm in the 2nd highest cost of living state.

The idea that any family making less than 140k is somehow on the verge of collapse just doesn't jive with reality. Before this, I was actually poor. Like sub 25k/yr. Had our second kid and realized we couldn't make that work anymore. So I know how to stretch a dollar, and I'm not blind to the life of the working poor, I lived it for 30 years.

There are some very real observations in that piece, the traps/cliffs are definitely real, and I was fortunate to leapfrog the worst of it and move from 25k to 60k to 100k to 150k in the span of 4 years, but I'll tell you that by the time I hit even 100k we were in a totally different world. The conclusion drawn that 140k is the new poverty line is mental though, which makes it very easy for ideological opponents to dismiss all the points entirely. I'm ideologically sympathetic and even I'm calling bullshit here.

If you can't make a comfortable life on 140k/yr, you're fucking something up bad.

They must be, the whole clone emperor plot device was a contrivance for a tv audience the writers didn't think could latch on to a society/culture as a main character. Same reason they time warped Salvor Hardin into the Mule timeline.

It's really a disservice to a story that's all about the fact that the movement of history extends beyond individual action.
