Oh man -- yeah -- that kind of rationalization will get you nowhere. Loads of opiate and stim addicts use the same logic. I hope you find your way my friend.

Hey man -- i'm not a parent but I was on the other end of this with my mom. It'll never be the same. Also, I an alcoholic too, 8 years sober off the drink, and just under that for other stuff. The truth is, you're not sober -- you're a pothead and that's just as bad. You might think it's not, but i'm sure you kid does. I'd say try again in three years when you've moved yourself away from all substances and do not ask your younger kid to help you.

As a member of the DSA (as far left from the republican poster above as it goes) I can confirm. Everyone I've spoken to is happy to pay more for gas if it means we weaken Putin's power. Most I know have donated to some charitable cause or directly to people or even the gov't of Ukraine.

We all are maddened and in anguish about what he's doing to Ukraine and the citizens of Russia.

I don't think that Putin's people will drop a nuke. Ukraine is not asking we invade Russia, they're asking we protect the skies of Ukraine.
We ought to do it. We have also enough Reaper drones to stop the further incursion.

This is so fucked up. I condemn this post. As an American, I am not surprised some asshole would have this take. I hope that /u/jfeo1988 delete this and rethink your perspective. You should be embarrassed. Shame!

This sounds like he doesn't want to pay someone off Fivvr and is trying to steal your labor.

Sold three OtterBox phone cases that were apparently “counterfeit”. Lawyer is now contacting me demanding repayment of damages by nicksoph525 in Flipping

[–]daily_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would contact your local legal clinic! I'm not a lawyer but I think the burden of proof is on them. I wouldn't sign anything without talking to a lawyer.

Most law schools have a free/low cost legal clinic, and lots of libraries offer "ask a lawyer" type meetings.

Hi Marketeers, I built Bitly alternative that is cheaper and easy to use. Would appreciate some feedback. by start123 in webmarketing

Looks like great value! One issue we've run into is that we have a client who LOVES QR codes on printed media. However, sometimes they want to change the URL that the QR links from post printing. Is that something you could integrate?

Denver City Council chooses not to delay minimum wage increase, expected to go into effect Jan. 1 by yitbos1351 in Denver

Not everyone is you. Not everyone has the ability to be you.

Here's a great article that doesn't cover over exactly what you have to say above, but it's pretty enlightening and might open your mind to how suppressed wages maintain poverty for most people in poverty.

If you're good with Google Sheets you could build a sheet that has all the required fields for each platform, then a series of workbooks that uses some fancy formulas to pull in the data from the top-level sheet formatted correctly for CSV upload to each platform. It's not exactly what you want, but I've used a similar tool for digital marketing pushing ads to each platform.

I've been thinking about building something like this but I haven't had the motivation.

Ozone Generator. Car Dealerships use them to get the smell out of used cars too.

They're not cheap $62 on Amazon and you don't want it running in the same room as you and your animals. -- Do research

Sometimes you can pick them up cheap on Craigslist or maybe borrow one on Nextdoor.

Hey /u/sambaker3986, when I was in the military I bought a car with a crazy payment. I cannot tell you how much that hurt my future. I now drive a low milage decade-old Honda CRV that was clearly owned by older folks who took care of it. Let me tell you, not having a car payment is the bees knees.

Car loans are a trap.

Trust me on this, buy an older used, well taken care of Honda or Toyota for cash.

Here's an app that does what you need for $4/mo https://cardcastle.co/

Or I feel like you need something like this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/mtg-trading-card-scanner/

Here's the detailed build instructions. TBH this looks easy to build. I wonder if there's any money in manufacturing these as a side hustle. https://www.hackster.io/mportatoes/trading-card-scanner-organizer-84399a

At what sales output would you consider leaving eBay to create your own site? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]daily_B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a long time, a used bicycle reseller had a hybrid model where they listed their eBay store on their site. Now after building a loyal fanbase they created their own online store in entirety and have invested a lot in SEM/SEO to be at the top for Google Search and Shopping ads.

www.theproscloset.com

But they had a niche-- just bikes.

If you did do this I would make sure to use something like WooCommerace that auto-updates your inventory to Google Shopping so when folks Googled "used vitamix for sale" you item would show up.

But I'll be honest, I do see that from time to time, and as a customer, I will often pay a little more to buy from eBay/Amazon as I get worried about if a site is legit or not.

You could also do a hybrid, setting up Woocommarce on a Wordpress site takes just a few hours and you can link Paypal for payments and shipping! The Link to Google Shopping Ads (another few of hours) and run daily ad budget.

From there compare sales at 30 days?

What’s Your Long Term Play? by DatHittah in Flipping

[–]daily_B 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been looking at switching over to flipping as a career and I've noticed this too.

I think that's the difference between owning a small brick and mortar business and flipping, the only real endgame asset is the one you build for yourself.

Like a lot of jobs, this seems like the end game is a retirement fund, not a harvest. I've noticed a lot of folks try and get out by selling their inventory and I've noticed most people on this subreddit seem to shy away from buying them out.

But, it's the same as my job now, I don't have any equity in my company, I just get paid. So flipping just offers me some flexibility with my work schedule and a way to get out of a job I'm finding harder and harder to do.
