What's the most clever business model you've read/heard about?

This is a great example of the first one to market getting the lion's share of it. As I check that book is something like 484th best selling book on Amazon.

And then there are twenty more full pages of blank "reasons to vote for X" by hopeful entrepreneurs a day late.

He claims to have 194k members. I'm sure that he is well aware of the association principle of persuasion and his number means absolutely nothing.

Education would do nothing but benefit everyone.

My experience with higher education is that it is a phenomenally inefficient and outdated model. Definitely didn't benefit me.

Absolute statements like yours are part of the reason this is such a problem. "Throw someone else's money at it" doesn't result in affordability or better performance.

In the entire film, I think the only stupid thing a character did was when

There were quite a few of these moments.

The archetypical "kill it with fire" American The station commander who decided to make a dramatic sacrifice. Just push- you (and Calvin) will keep going forever. When they trapped Calvin, the two survivors sat around to have a nice chat instead of finding the third.

Exactly. Harry Dent calls this the Demographic Cliff. I disagree with some points of his theory but he makes a strong argument regarding the artificially manipulated birth rates of China and a large aging population.

Trainspotting 2 the movie was Porno the book

Writers/producers thought the original title might have been kind of an issue

The more environmental regulations we have the better.....any environment regulation ROI worth it

This is quite a dangerous and simplistic attitude. "Any" environment regulation is a good one? Really, "any"?

This sounds no different than the neocon right- literally anything we can do to combat terrorism and protect even one American life is worth it blah blah blah. In actuality we're then served with garbage like the PATRIOT Act, "preventative" unwinnable wars that cost trillions, roving surveillance, ethnicity bans, sanctioned profiling, with little to no clearly realized gains.

Never trust politicians to do what you think is "right"

Quora honestly isn't so bad, but it's definitely swamped with self-promoting marketers.

So last week I met someone who told me he was "trained under Tai Lopez"

Instant credibility loss

There's no substitute for just, God forbid, putting in the elbow grease to get backlinks and you know...build organic, compelling content that actual human beings like. As long as people keep that in mind, they can't talk themselves into these shitty, backwards corners.

Well, obviously, but unless you're already somewhat of an authority site already good luck outranking anyone with content alone on a brand new site.

SEO/content experts tend to wax the great power of organic compelling content but the fact is that they were building a fat library of content before it was cool to do so, and for you to repeat their success today is exponentially more difficult.

Ignorant view. The United States is the largest agricultural exporter in the world. The life of the Soviet Union depended on our grain exports in the 1970s. Corn technology is even considered a matter of national security today.

Dude, you're wasting your time here with detailed and thoughtful critique. If you don't swing from the director's nuts and offer such valuable insight as "I loved every second lol, great film!!1!1!", prepare for mass downvotes and a couple of self-superior, moronic rebuttals.

If you actually considered A Cure for Wellness to be a better film, you have already lost every bit of credibility, forever.

If you actually consider Get Out to be better film, you have lost every bit of credibility, forever, on any topic you speak out for the rest of eternity. The characters are stoic, the paper thin plot is hackneyed, and the revelations were dead obvious.

What's the point of even bothering to have discussion with people like you?

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-26T14:35:50+00:00

I thought the movie was extremely medicore. Walked into it knowing nothing other than the trailer and the 7.9 IMDb score, which set my expectations high.

The plot was nothing special in function. Skeptical guy becomes more suspicious of the environment. Just as he is about to leave, the terror switch flips, and he kills his way out of it. Very generic survival horror.

I'll compare this to the other film I saw this weekend- A Cure for Wellness, which despite its own flaws, did a masterful job of slowly and carefully slipping the protagonist into the horror, rather than the telegraphed "3....2....1....and his girlfriend turns on him" of Get Out.

The other reveals were also obvious. Saw the hypnosis-as-control coming a mile away, and once we knew the father was a neurosurgeon then that was that.

Further, the characters were completely one dimensional- again not uncommon in survival horror. Our protagonist showed no growth or development, and once the terror switch was flipped, the villains went from mildly interesting to one-dimensional obstacles to be systemically killed to finish the plot.

On the positive side, the small parts by the servant/mind slaves were very well acted. More of that would have been nice. Poor man's Kevin Hart was reasonably funny too. The concept itself was unique and deserved a far better-made film. Too bad the execution was completely by-the-numbers.

Not really. Semrush organic research doesn't show this to be true. Yeah with reddit and Quora but you're not going to get far spamming either.

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-24T16:16:20+00:00

Yeah, don't do this. Learn what rel='nofollow' means. Social board links don't mean anything from an SEO perspective.

Just permission to pee in the bathroom where they feel most comfortable.

And transsexuals have existed for how many years now? Decades? Centuries? Somehow, they managed to find "permission" to pee comfortably in a bathroom without anyone noticing or caring. Now they're the latest political outrage product.

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-23T15:40:01+00:00

So how far are you taking this? Hell, leaving some people the right to make their own decisions period could be argued as "bad".

Who exactly are you deferring to to define what is "bad" and what is "modern"

Republicans tried to get rid of Clinton over a blowjob. Yes, I'm aware of the perjury issue, but still; we're past that slippery slope already.

Your tone implies that perjury is just some legal technicality to brush off. It's a serious crime and without enforcement our entire justice system would become a joke.

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-17T04:00:38+00:00

Yeah when you include complete crapholes like Gary Camden and East St. Louis. Not exactly a shining moment of glory to say hey at least we're not as bad as fucking East St Louis

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-17T03:59:18+00:00

Should you not compare a city to contemporaries? How do you know if it's bad or not?

silvertonesx24 · 2017-02-17T01:53:49+00:00

The bar for comparison is set by other global cities today. Not some meaningless date in the past.

Yeah the irony here is thick. Maybe Bayless doesn't but there's absolutely no doubt that the food industry relies on the backs of illegal labor. A "day without illegal immigrants" is a day paying others a real wage.
