Let's make lots of money

[Hard Candy-e @HardCandye1]

@esaagar Agreed. But seriously what kind of a policy is that? Once you turn 35, you start paying property taxes? That seems kind of f'ed up too. I think it kind of has to be all or nothing

They're not freezing your rent, they're freezing your housing providers' income, while their expenses keep increasing.

The point isn't to make your housing affordable, it's to make providing housing financially inviable, so government(s) can seize the unmanageable properties.

Our lack of financial literacy is going to destroy us.

Iran left a note in SoFi Stadium's locker room thanking LA for its hospitality at the World Cup.

"From the ancient Persia of thousands ​of years ago to the civilized Iran of today, the spirit of Iran ‌remains ⁠alive and steadfast."

"We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with ​dignity."

"May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations."

@LeadingReport I really don't think this is the move. Just wear a different hat. Leave the Bible verses out.

[Hard Candy-e @HardCandye1]

@LeadingReport Not the right move. Refusing to comply is enough. Making this about Bible verses will just feed the lefties a talking point.

Elon musk pays the same into social security as everyone else and he also uses the same social security as everyone else.

In other words he doesn’t impact the program at all, and the failure to manage social security falls solely on politicians who spend the money everyone is adding to it.

Now politicians are blaming musk for the failure of social security when he has nothing to do with it.

if you look around at everything happening and your conclusion as to why people are becoming more radicalized is still some shit like “andrew tate” and “podcasters” you should be wearing a helmet 24/7

A YouTuber who made short-form videos and skits just made one of the most successful movies ever. It's doing over $100 million at the box office while costing less than $1 million to make. So far, a 100x return, not bad...

The movie is called Obsession. I saw it on the opening weekend. It was playing on the smaller screens at the theater, with the theater half full. But sales jumped by 40% by the next weekend. Do you know how insane that is? For weekend sales to actually jump that much after a movie has already been out for a week? Absolutely crazy.

A few reasons why this movie is doing so well. For one, it's purely original. There are so many remakes that any deeply original script has an advantage. Another thing is that this movie didn't rely on jump scares. Jump scares are rare, and if overused, they're cheap. This movie's horror was more creepy, weird, awkward, and psychologically difficult situations. Another thing is that the movie just looks so good. I have no clue how they shot it to look this atmospheric and good (lighting and sets) for less than a million.

But I think the biggest reason this movie worked so well is the director's training. He's 26 years old. He's done YouTube for years, hundreds of sketches and short films. He has had feedback from the audience on what works and what doesn't. YouTube provides detailed analytics on everything, and the comments also provide feedback. You get instant audience reaction on everything you post. YouTube has made him an expert on this stuff before ever even making a full-length movie.

What an amazing accomplishment. I suspect there will be many great YouTubers who jump to filmmakers, and I'm here for it.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly."

The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal.

When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience."

Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable.

When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates.

I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped.

The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault."

I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology."

Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident.

Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize."

I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time."

They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again."

I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes.

@LeadingReport Isn't that about how it should be? Aren't the oldest people supposed to have the most capital by far?

[Hard Candy-e @HardCandye1]

@unusual_whales People are living off of debt. Inflation has wiped out the American family.
