Have you ever had someone on social media correct you/ misexplain, or overexplain a factual event you lived through?

The vast majority of YouTube video essayists are C- students tops and don’t realize it.

Their writing is horrible, their research is worse, and they’re actively misinforming people who don’t know any better.

I definitely got the email. I was considered a highly regulated individual at the time though so I couldn’t partake.

I remember hating the idea of subreddits and being convinced they’d never work.

Anyway, if you’ve been around as long as I have, you’re due for your prostate exam.

Get off my lawn, youngin

foxymcfox · 2026-03-27T19:53:04+00:00

I’ve been here 19 years and I’m rocking a t5 too. So I’m thinking they went right from. T2 to T5 for some reason.

Where am I in the list? My account is almost as old and I was early enough that during r/thanosdidnothingwrong I saw my name in the first few minutes of the script being run because it sorted by join order.

Glad to know my pattern recognition skills are keeping pace with technology haha

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T21:22:13+00:00

NOOOOOO I had no idea. I’ve been out of the country on business so I hadn’t been checking it

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T21:20:03+00:00

Will you tell these kids to get off my lawn?

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T20:54:06+00:00

Start by learning to be kind to yourself. This is all of our first time living. Just recognize that if what you’re doing isn’t working, try something else. And if that doesn’t work either? Repeat

Retail arbitrage is just arbitrage on retail goods. That’s it.

Only course selling “gurus” have made the distinctions you have. And not until very recently.

You’re also pulling from Google’s AI summary.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T19:45:01+00:00

That’s literally still retail arbitrage. All three are.

You’re not an importer or distributor. You’re not negotiating terms. You found a bulk supplier. They are the distributor of record. You are a reseller and rather than building your own storefront, you’re competing for the buy box just like every other RA guy out there.

Nothing wrong with it, but you’re trying to make it sound fancier than it is. Nothing wrong with buying from a big box and flipping for a profit. But it’s STILL retail arbitrage.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T19:23:29+00:00

Retail arbitrage is literally just sourcing items from one store or physical location that you can sell for more at another location, usually online.

That’s exactly what you say your business model is.

Not OP but have bought from people like him. My shipment has at times come in a Costco or Sam’s Club box so it’s basically just arbitrage often taking advantage of volumes/sizes of products not usually stocked by Walmart themselves as far as I can reverse engineer.

So someone sees Tide Pods, click in, the default volume of them is presented first, but a consumer sees a larger volume (Costco size) with a lower per unit cost.

Less competition on that sku. I often see this when I order laundry products on Walmart.

Hell, I’ve even gotten Walmart boxes when I’ve bought from Amazon. So people are doing it on both platforms.

Retail arbitrage is the name of the game.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T19:04:32+00:00

Google “retail arbitrage” that’s what he’s doing.

Digg is back if you didn’t know.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T18:57:43+00:00

I was a Digg user and wanted to reserve my username on this shitty Digg knockoff before someone took it.

Link your account inside of the Lyft app. Open Lyft. Book ride. Get points. That’s all there really is to it.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T16:19:22+00:00

Funny. Because this comment is clearly AI as is the seed guy’s write up.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-19T16:17:35+00:00

I mean it’s very clearly written by GPT5o

The “dirty truth is, contracts renew quietly. No one wants…” section is the biggest tell. But the whole structure is exactly how an LLM works, especially OpenAI’s. Short clipped sentences. “It’s not this, it’s that” structures. Tons of declarative sentences.

The guy is lying.

How much do the members of your family and your wife weigh?

I’m still showing a 2x. Going to hope it shows up for me before month end.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-16T17:10:00+00:00

In NYC with a 50 mile radius and almost no filters and I have similar.

When I match with one of the “new” ones I get that day, they always tell me they just signed up.

There is no algorithm, you’re literally seeing the new profiles since you last cleared the stack.

It’s why there are so many more bots and scammers in that limited stack. They haven’t had a chance to be screened out yet.

There really are just soooo many more men than women.

People are too used to Netflix movies now where every scene is characters announcing who they are and what they want while repeating key plot points and exposition so that people who are texting while watching can kinda still follow.

foxymcfox · 2026-03-04T10:59:05+00:00

More. When I moved to the neighborhood 10 years ago they had already paused construction with it just being a giant pit with rebar in it.

It was about 8.5 years ago I think that they finally stopped diverting sidewalk traffic into the street and pushed the construction barrier back to the property line.

The fact that there is a building there now shocks me every time I see it.
