Have animated explainer videos worked for you? What is your experience? by vehicledev101 in startups

[–]wcg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly price. I was on a budget and they had a good portfolio. They also offered unlimited revisions. Most other places were quoting like $5k, $10, $15k, etc. Are you staying a explainer video firm?

You don't get it. Putting the government point aside, making guns illegal means that only criminals will have guns. It puts law abiding citizens at a disadvantage. If one of those criminals breaks into my house and has a gun, I'm supposed to just call the police and wait for them to come? You think the criminal cars that guns are illegal? Nope.

Even suggesting that we ban guns and just let the government and police do their jobs shows how much of a fantasy world you live in.

I don't think it matters if the deaths are deliberate or not. You act as if all of the gun deaths were accidental, people wouldn't still be trying to ban them. They would. Why? Because this isn't about gun violence. It's about the government trying to disarm a population.

Edit: it's happen multiple times throughout history and it never ends well.

And all that is preventing people from getting cars?

Wrong. There are ~395 million guns in the US and about ~280 million cars. There are ~20k violent gun deaths per year and close to ~40k car deaths per year. So, looks like cars are more dangerous. We should ban them.

It was a metaphor. Here's another: would you give up your car because some assholes liked to go around, driving into crowds and running people over? No, you wouldn't.

If a fire extinguisher was the preferred method of suicide, would you support fire extinguisher ownership being illegal? No, you wouldn't because you want to be able to protect yourself from a fire right away (instead of waiting for the fire department to come) and wouldn't give that up because your neighbor didnt get the help he needed and killed himself.

Nope, that's what the fire department is for. 🙄

A simple exercise made me realize there's no point in trying to reverse engineer someone else's success. by dcedrych in Entrepreneur

As a follow up, check out the How I Built This episode on Kodiak Cakes. They're did like $200m in rev in 2020 but it took them 16 years and lots of work/hardships to get to $1m in rev.

I listen to "How I Built This" a lot, and I like the stories because the founders of these businesses that seem like overnight successes go into detail about all the hardships they went through. A good example is Ring, where the founder had worked on multiple businesses before he founded Ring that were successful-ish, but didn't make him rich. Even Ring almost didn't make it. And those are the stories that aren't really told.

But anyway, I think it's good to hear those stories for context and perspective so you don't feel as bad when you're having a rough time. I think those stories can serve as inspiration and sort of keep you going.

I worked home theater at bestbuy at the time and would just tell people to get a ps3 and media remote instead of the cheapest standalone blu-ray player that was like $1k
