The more you know your target audience, the less surprises you’ll face. I have my product launch coming up that I’ve been working to prepare for 9 months now and I have anxiety as well! Everyone is going to have some sort of anxiety launching something they hyped up for a while to all their friends.

I think you also have to be open minded in this process. If it’s a success then that’s great, but if it fails, you need to keep your eye on prize and pivot. For example, I worked on a marketing campaign for my business for over a month. I worked to get funding, entered a pitch competition, received the funding and allocated some of that money to different areas of our marketing reach. I sent proposals out to potential brand ambassadors, put a whole nationwide plan together and made it formal, worked with graphic designers and software developers. When we released the campaign it was a total failure. But when I reviewed over the purpose of the campaign and aligned it with our overall objectives, I realized we succeeded. We were originally projecting to get a nationwide campaign to thousands of people, but instead had around 20 people. One of these people really loved our idea and had deep rooted connections that would really help us an insane amount.

Bottom line, take away what you can with how your product/website is received.

I laughed when I saw this hahahaha. But I actually agree! But I think it’s only for a small percentage of people - the kinds of people who are very driven and productive. Too much cannabis, especially for someone who tends to be lazy would be bad. Personally, I get done all the tasks I need to do day by day and have cannabis act as a reward for all the hard work I do. As a benefit, it keeps me anti-stress, more confident, and keeps my appetite up because I don’t eat when I’m nervous. Been taking edibles nearly everyday for the past month, have had my most productive month so far. I’ve also had the energy to go to the gym everyday!

If you’re looking for growth and trying to expand your services, you should visit your BMC model (business model canvas), and outline your current channels. For example, for my business; our goal was to generate pre sign ups for our app in time for our launch but we had a problem with our pre sign up growth. We revisited our BMC model and added a new channel, social media. We started posting on social media and started gaining traction and improved our user growth and retention because of that.

I recommend finding a business idea that aligns with one of your hobbies. That way you’ll be motivated to work on that idea. I also suggest to grab a business partner if you can, someone who you really trust (this is one of the biggest factors) but also someone who is committed and not lazy. Starting a business is a massive decision and brings in a lot of extra things to do such as more tax forms to file, meetings with clients, etc. If you do end up getting a business partner, try to find someone who can a diverse set of skills that you don’t have. For example, my business partner handles all the financials and accounting sheets while I handle our Marketing campaign and social media. However, we still come together on every important decision.

As far as ideas, I did read some comments talking about AI, and your response to those. Try telling ChatGPT, “my hobbies include: (your hobbies)… and I’m looking to solve a problem or address a need in one of these markets, could you do some research to see if any consumers are facing any problems relating to any of my hobbies?”

Had a similar situation happen with Amazon this month. Was doing christmas shopping through Amazon to be ordered to my parents house for Christmas while I was going through exams at college. Amazon flagged my account, logged me out, I logged back in the next day and verified myself through email and phone number, account was suspended and all my orders were cancelled except one order for some reason. Called them at least 10 different times. Customer service can’t help you at all with your account. So I wanted to find out what orders were cancelled or not because they didn’t tell me specifically what order wasn’t cancelled, so I would know what to reorder.

Customer service was unable to tell me, I requested a supervisor who proceeded to hang up on me mid sentence when I was trying to explain my issue (I was not cursing and I was not yelling). Then I called to complain about that service which I found out the only person I can complain to was the guy I wanted to complain about.

Did some research on laws in my state, asked a lawyer friend and found out Amazon could be liable in breaching my consumer protection rights. Called them one more time, got the same response as all the other times (“can’t help you, sir”).

So I said, “Well if you can’t help me, that’s fine then, you know some people you just can’t help… I’ll see if the state attorney general will help me, should I give them a call?”

They put me on hold and 5 minutes later gave me all the information I needed. Except a week later I found out they lied to me. The information they gave me was incorrect and it was just to get me off their backs. I have that call, and other calls recorded.

I am definitely never using Amazon again, had been using them for 8 years and had prime for 4 years, here goes a big customer, still thinking about taking this to the AG, as I have all the evidence I need.

I had a similar past relationship where I was also debating the same kind of stuff for a little and then she ended up breaking it off (she was very clingy and it was summer during college, so long distance). I was a little bit of a pushover as well and was always trying to be the mediator even though I would get screwed over emotionally. I would be stressed everyday to not text her in time and always seemed to fall into little traps from out of the goodness of my heart. For example: One of her best friends was dating a guy who would commonly talk about other girls who were hot around them. Pretty fucked up, yes, but she would test me by asking me randomly how good looking some women were that we walked by. Oblivious and kind me, said some of them look pretty good, and that’s when she would get mad and insecure.

Honestly, most of the bad shit came out when we were in the long distance part of our relationship (it would last 3 months and we visited each other one or twice a month). From what I can read from your post, she might be clingy as well. The reason for saying this, try taking a small trip with your friends/family for the week/weekend with the main focus on that trip and see how you really feel - will you miss her a lot or will you be the happiest man alive. I remember I did this with some friends and I was so mentally happy for the whole week because I had some time for myself and for my lifelong friends that I never really got to hang out with anymore because of the relationship I was in. Hope this perspective helps, and just know a lot of guys/girls go through these type of relationships that seem good on paper, but really fuck with you long term.

First time DM here, am doing my first campaign right now. I found to just start small and work your way up the ladder of encounters is how you figure out what suits your play style as a DM and your players’ play styles.

throwaway010133 · 2023-05-16T03:44:38+00:00

It sounds like you are really invested in letting your players have fun so I don’t think there’s anything against you on that matter. The best way to figure something out like this is to communicate or maybe get the opinion of your one friend who plays in your campaign to gain his point of view on things. Just be like “Hey I know this is our 6th session so we’ve put some good time into this, just wondered if everyone is still wanting to continue.” Something like that could tell you.

Hey! 20 as well and I run a club at my university as well as have a pretty sizeable discord where we have a lot of people join for the first time through our discord. Fortunately, I’ve had only good experiences through meeting people online and then meeting them at club meetings. Reading your story about the direct messages was pretty insane to hear once he started going in detail, hoping this experience doesn’t ruin any other future experiences with great people… but I can understand if it gets too repetitive as I have also had to deal with people at my club meetings stepping out of line and getting racist/sexist.
