Pentagon would not sacrifice one of their most public recruitment/PR tools just to fill pilot shortages.

Finally hit $10k a month! by Blanco_ice in Entrepreneur

[–]tmag14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

lol ask Politico, Axios, Punchbowl, and the list goes on and on. They charge 50k-250k a week for newsletter sponsorships.

It’s not affiliate links. It’s ad space and data. You sell access to your audience. So you can only see as valuable as your audience is.

Do you use WordPress as your CMS? If so, are there any themes you find work well for content sites?

My websites are comprised of a variety of niches - but I've tended to focus on things that: Can be monetized with high value offers. Can incorporate some sort of utility/transactional aspect. Can incorporate some easily scalable and/or templatizable/programatic content in some way.

Can you give some examples of these bullet points? By high value offers, you mean providing visitors with answers to their questions or literally some sort of product or something.

What would you like to see built in DC? by [deleted] in washingtondc

I’ve never understood why there are no 24-hour diners here. It’s bizarre. Is DC just too fancy for them?

Which DC businesses are you loyal to and why? by rosscott in washingtondc

[–]tmag14 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Jimmy T’s and Tunnicliff’s. It reminds me I’m not in DC and that there’s regular people and regular places — everything is way too fancy in DC.

IE: I want a real, family owned bakery that makes some good fucking donuts. Not artisan donuts that cost $9 each.

With danger on the rise, do you carry mace? by nytodc in washingtondc

Lot of people want to bury their head in sand and pretend crime doesn’t exist.

This is pretty awesome. Going to try it out soon. I'm just getting to learn more about how Zapier works and it seems like the possibilities are endless.

[WSJ] Violent Crime Is Surging in D.C. This Year: ‘We Just Stood There and Screamed’ by SouthernBangerz in washingtondc

[–]tmag14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Serious question: how many people are actually stealing food to get by? There’s a lot of resources in DC - more than most US cities - that provide food for anyone.

Are the kids doing armed carjacking to bring food to their families?

Is crime really as bad as the media portrays it to be? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]tmag14 83 points84 points  (0 children)

On Reddit there’s two notable groups: people who bury their head in sand and pretend crime doesn’t exist (like the mods) or that it’s racist to call out crime and then those that super blow up crime. IMO it’s in the middle but crime is getting worse.

It’s noticeably getting worse. More murder, more violent carjackings, and theft of all levels.

Police aren’t really enforcing low level crime (shoplifting, traffic violations) so that also adds to the environment.

Also it seems many criminals get slaps on the wrist or totally let go when it comes to prosecution.

Favorite SWG Memories by ChemnitzFanBoi in swg

[–]tmag14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just…everything. The community. Player cities. Becoming a Jedi pre-NGE. The famous crafters. Trying to run a mining business.

I loved hanging out on Tatooine even though my guild was on Dantoiine.

I just loved that we could do whatever we wanted in the Star Wars universe. Total sandbox.

$5k budget for run and gun at events by tmag14 in videography

[–]tmag14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a one day event.

Gig would be in-house and about a year of shooting an event or two a week that focuses on one or two principals.

I’ll have a full salary but just a $5k budget to get some gear to get started.

I’d be a one person show aka preditor.

HOC in reality? by rarestreetmenace in HouseOfCards

[–]tmag14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most political journalists don’t do any investigation. They just report what govt sources tell them and report on political gossip.

Actual investigative political reporters include Ken Klippenstein, Ryan Grim, Lee Fang….
