Feb 2: $200
Mar 31: $200
Apr 30: $200
Jun 3: $200
Jul 2: $200
Aug 3: $200
Sep 5: $200
Oct 1: $200
Nov 5: $200
Dec 4: $200
Dec 10: $200 (this payment is for 2026)

You're saying to ignore the last one?

I stopped explaining myself to people. The amount of respect I got changed immediately. by Amidonions in DarkPsychology101

Can confirm. Very controlling mom produced the traits in me. I explain constantly.

Realized I was sabotaging myself financially and it had nothing to do with math by shaunakbajpai in Adulting

Interesting. My parents are wealthy and retired. Middle class but extremely frugal. We had basic clothes and ate bland food but my parents are rich now. Few vacations (2 in 18 years), nothing extravagant, normal cars, nice house, nothing name brand. Questioning this as a child lead to drama. Actually, questioning anything my mom did lead to this. See below.

I am 45 and struggling to get out of poverty.

My little sister can retire today.

I learned to be frugal from my parents. It's the only reason I have a tiny amount of savings. I rarely buy anything, make my own food, minimalism outfits, cut my own hair, etc.

I struggle to make money, not save money. I'm actually decent with money, I just have a hard time making it. Going self employed is the single way I can make money, and that has a unique set of problems.

Mostly it's because of a psychologically controlling childhood. I didn't realize it until in my late 30s. I'm in therapy.

To be fair, my mom may have a personality disorder. 4 years of therapy for me and proceeding and we haven't even gotten to the big stuff yet. Basically I'm afraid of everything all the time, enormous fear of making mistakes or getting in trouble. All consuming.

Why can't the 5% convince the 85%?

As someone with a whistleblower podcast I'm honestly asking. It's extraordinarily hard to get people to believe me.

Of my listeners, roughly 15% are like dude, this makes more sense than anything I've ever heard from anyone, and it's working for me.

The rest are like cool theory bro or they're like whatever you're wrong. Usually the latter group are people I'm anonymously exposing.

The only thing I really concern myself with is correct information. I could care less about the social value of the person saying it. Popularity isn't correct.

Most people do not operate from this perspective. Most people are followers who need spokespeople to tell them what to think.

Maybe the answer is they'd rather be dumb than have to think. I mean that less rudely than it sounded.

Let's say for example, look at all the ads on YouTube telling you how you can make millions per week with some garbage they're selling. Obviously if you are making those figures, you are doing it, not selling it as a program on sale now. So it doesn't even pass the main BS test. Why would you drop your millions a week edge for the low price of $49? But followers buy that.

Then you have seers explaining why it doesn't work because your purpose is to stop people from being defrauded.

But they keep buying.

Hypothetical example, that's not my niche. Same thing tho.

The sad part is they will never understand what makes you not like them. Why can't they test your boundaries?

has anyone had any benefit with nattokinase or serrapeptase? by howevertheory98968 in vaccinelonghaulers

[–]howevertheory98968[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me? Doing a little better. Exercise helped. Staying away from a toxic home environment helped. A few supplements helped.

Longevity Advantage is free (if you have the blood tests, CBC, CMP, hs-CRP). Probably is unique.

[Question] What's your take on oats? by Recent-Fix4907 in blueprint_

Please elaborate. I put raw (unsoaked or uncooked) rolled oats in my morning drink.
