I have said this before, and I'll say it again.
If you are creating a fantasy RPG, I wish you luck.
You will not dethrone Dungeons and Dragons. It is way too big.
That is all.
I’m considering giving out $100-500 Venmo or Zelle (depending)to one of my 38 followers. Two questions: 1. Have you ever interacted with me on here? & 2 why should I help you? (You’re automatically disqualified if you’ve never spoken to me.) this should be interesting…cheers!

Went out to dinner with my wife and her coworker at Terrenea lounge bar. Total drinks and food for the night was 212.00 I left $270.00 and the waitress didn’t thank me and ignored us until we left.
When I watched the Ecuador coach celebrate so passionately after his team's victory over Germany yesterday, I was reminded of a profound truth often associated with Napoleon Hill:
"The most powerful mastermind alliance a man will ever form is in his marriage. A woman, rightly chosen, aligned in vision, and honored in spirit, can make a man unbreakable. But a woman wrongly chosen or unaligned in purpose will drain him of vision, strip him of confidence, and sentence him to spiritual poverty.
Many men fall not because of failure in business, but because of conflict in the home. They rise with vision only to have it mocked. They speak with clarity only to have it questioned. They act with courage only to be met with resistance. This is not partnership. This is war. And a man at war with his household cannot build peace outside of it.
But when a woman supports a man's purpose, when she believes in his destiny, when she reflects his greatness before the world sees it, that woman becomes the mastermind in motion. Her energy fuels him. Her intuition sharpens him. Her peace steadies him. Her presence becomes a sanctuary. And the man with that kind of partner is dangerous to every limitation.
You must choose this alliance with wisdom. And if you are already in one, you must train it, not ignore it. Share your aim. Speak your plan. Invite her insight. Draw strength from her spirit. This is not weakness. This is wisdom. This is law."
@RexhaRexhaRexha He's such an asshole. He's not even self aware enough to not tell a story where he comes off as a complete doucehbag. He's literally the final "frat bro guy" boss.
He somehow poseses all of the worst characteristics a man can have. Nobody has anything good to say about him.
Scrub Daddy gave up 20% of their company on Shark Tank for $200,000
That 20% is now worth over $50,000,000
The founder handed eight figures to a billionaire on national television because nobody told him he could get $200K from Chase at 0% interest with zero equity in 15 minutes
Every season of Shark Tank is a masterclass in how to destroy generational wealth on camera
Bombas gave up 17.5% for $200K. The company did $100M+ in revenue. That 17.5% became worth north of $50M. For $200K. That they could have put on business cards
Zipz Wine gave up 10% for $400K. Meanwhile the Ring doorbell guy walked into the same room, Kevin O'Leary tried to take his equity, and he said no. Turned the Sharks down on national television. Kept 100% of his company. Then sold Ring to Amazon for over $1 billion. He's the only founder in Shark Tank history who understood what his equity was actually worth
The rest of them walked into a room full of billionaires and traded permanent ownership of their life's work for an amount of money that Chase, Amex, and Capital One hand out every single day to anyone with a 700 score and an LLC
The math is so violent it's almost funny
$200K from a Shark: you lose 20% of every dollar your company ever makes. Forever. If the company hits $10M in revenue the Shark's cut is $2M a year. If it hits $100M that's $20M a year. Flowing out of your pocket into a billionaire's pocket because you needed $200K in 2012
$200K from 0% business cards: you owe $200K. You pay it back in 12 to 15 months. Interest: $0. Equity given up: 0%. You keep 100% of your company forever. The bank gets their $200K back and never sees another dollar from your business
One path costs you $200K. The other path costs you $50M+
The exact stack to replace any Shark Tank deal:
Chase Ink Business Unlimited: $30K to $50K at 0% for 12 months
Chase Ink Business Cash: $25K to $45K at 0% for 12 months
Amex Blue Business Plus: $25K to $50K at 0% for 12 months
Capital One Spark Cash: $20K to $40K at 0% for 15 months
US Bank Triple Cash: $20K to $35K at 0% for 15 months
Bank of America Business Advantage: $20K to $40K at 0% for 15 months
Conservative total on a 720 score: $140K to $260K
That covers every single Shark Tank deal in the first 8 seasons. Not most of them. All of them. The average Shark Tank investment was $250K for 25% equity. You can match the dollar amount on credit cards and keep the 25%
"But Sharks bring connections, mentorship, distribution"
Mark Cuban invested in 85+ Shark Tank companies. Ask yourself how many of those founders have his personal cell phone. The answer is almost none of them. They got a 10-minute segment, a handshake, and a wire transfer. The "mentorship" is a production assistant emailing quarterly. The "connections" are an intro to someone on the Shark's team who manages 40 other portfolio companies. You're not getting mentored. You're getting managed
The distribution they offer (Lori's QVC placement, Daymond's retail network, Mark's digital channels) can be replaced by spending the $200K on paid ads, Amazon PPC, and TikTok Shop. You'll reach more customers through a $200K ad budget than through a 3-minute QVC segment that airs at 2am on a Tuesday
The real reason founders go on Shark Tank:
They don't know that 0% business credit exists. That's it. That's the entire reason
They think capital comes from either: (a) a bank loan at 10% with collateral, or (b) an investor who takes equity. Nobody ever showed them option (c): unsecured business credit cards at 0% interest, no collateral, no equity, approved in 12 minutes online
The $200K they begged for on national television while getting insulted by Kevin O'Leary was sitting at Chase the entire time. They just didn't know to look
And the Sharks know this. Every Shark on that panel has business credit cards. Every one of them uses 0% promotional capital in their own businesses. Cuban didn't build his wealth by giving equity to other billionaires. He used leverage. He used bank capital. He used other people's money at the lowest possible cost. Then he sits on a TV set and offers entrepreneurs the most expensive capital on earth (equity) and acts like he's doing them a favor
"I'll give you $200K for 25% of your company" is the most predatory sentence in business. At a 24% annual interest rate, $200K costs you $48K a year and you stop paying when the debt is cleared. At 25% equity on a $10M company, $200K costs you $2.5M a year and you never stop paying
An interest rate has an end date. Equity has no end date. You pay the Shark forever
The companies that should have used 0% cards instead of Sharks:
Any product company: use the $200K to buy initial inventory, run ads, and build sales velocity on Amazon or DTC. Pay the cards back from revenue in 6 to 10 months
Any service company: use the $200K on hiring and client acquisition. Service companies cash flow almost immediately. Pay the cards back from the first 3 months of client revenue
Any tech company pre-revenue: this is the one case where equity capital makes sense because there's no revenue to service the debt. But even here, $200K in 0% cards buys 12 to 15 months of runway without giving up a single share
Scrub Daddy could have put $200K on 4 business cards, bought inventory, landed the same retail placements (retailers don't care who your investor is, they care about your sell-through rate), and kept 100% of a company now worth half a billion dollars
Instead Aaron Krause shook Lori Greiner's hand on national television and gave her fifty million dollars for the price of a small house
Every founder who watches Shark Tank sees a dream. Every funding consultant who watches Shark Tank sees a crime scene lmfaooo
dm me "funding" and i'll show you how you can qualify for up to 250k in 0% APR funding (if you have a 700+)
Men face intense pressures around their appearance nearly as much as women do. Many of the traits men are mocked for like height, facial bone structure, penis size, and hair loss patterns, are things they can’t really change. Society laughs at these immutable features, then wonders why so many young men feel hopeless, disengage or turn to extreme measures to cope.
This Men’s Health Month, it’s time to stop treating men’s body image struggles as a punchline. Read my latest for Evie: https://t.co/RGRp7DoXIc
@OGCrimsonJester Sending you prayers and hugs for your child and family. I can’t send replies only direct posts. I hope everything is ok after the bike accident.
If marriages between people of unequal income and wealth were banned, almost 95% of women would remain unmarried.
The reality is that most women prefer marrying a man who earns more, owns more, and has a higher financial status than themselves.
The marriage market survives on upward expectations.
Remove that, and the entire equation changes overnight.
In an economy where less than 10% of people control the overwhelming majority of wealth, attractive young women become one of the few groups that can temporarily monetize proximity to capital without formally owning it.
That does not make them powerful in the structural sense. It makes them consumable.
A wealthy man can spend $1,000, $2,000, or more in a night on access, attention, sex, companionship, or the performance of being desired. For him, that is entertainment money. For her, it may look like lifestyle arbitrage. But the power still belongs to the person with the balance sheet.
So the question is not, “Where do these women get the money?”
The question is: why is so much money concentrated in so few hands that entire lifestyles can be financed by proximity to rich men, while normal men and women are drowning in rent, debt, taxes, insurance, and stagnant purchasing power?
The “cute debt” line is emotionally satisfying, but it misses the machine.
Klarna and Affirm are not evidence of female decadence. They are evidence of a society where consumption has replaced household formation, debt has replaced wage growth, and status display has replaced economic security.
Young men are not wrong to refuse the superhero role. But young women posting from the South of France are not the root cause either.
They are downstream of the same system: an economy where ordinary people cannot build families, wealth, or stability, while the ownership class turns everything — housing, sex, travel, beauty, attention, and even identity — into a market.
