  • The part is greatly disliked about his books is how he glosses over the fact that he had a TON of resources at his disposal. A father figure that's already in business, that tutored him specifically, gave him many connections in the business world, and also let him sit in on business meetings for nearly a decade. The man had more exposure, teaching, and connections than most business majors before he even set foot into the business world.

    For a normal person that would take years of schooling and a really tough time making those connections and is an entirely unrealistic comparison.

    TL;DR You are right, basically impossible for a normal person to achieve because the resources at his disposal.

  • I have an old phone I still use for media because it has the headphone jack, it's also great to watch stuff in a room with other people in it like when a partner is watching TV or something. I bought the FairPhone 4 because I heard they (the company) made phones with it and failed my due diligence and was promptly disappointed with the lack of jack. Still my biggest gripe with this phone and still a feature I love and want back.

    You can even munch on bugles and still hear your video! Its amazing!

  • As a guy who doesn't particularly like touch with anyone i'm not very close with; it's astonishing how pushy people get or offensive people will interpret not allowing a hug. I expect it's not super easy for you either, sympathies...from a distance lmao

    I haven't really found anything better than a retort of "please respect my boundaries" though it lacks a bit of tact. Sometimes having bugles in my hands will help though!

  • Charged could represent electrolytes. Naming schemes can be nonsensical sometimes. What is the "extreme" in extreme burrito? Would that also be caffeine? Or more cheese, a different type of cheese? Some other ingredient? What about chocolate delight? Is delight an ingredient? Is there an ingredient that specifically makes the "delight" part? Sometimes naming schemes are about the process used to create it rather than what is in the food itself; see Triscuit

    Someone with food restrictions absolutely has some due diligence on their plate, but calling out a name to divulge or suggest a specific ingredient (when the ingredients name iself is not used) is a hindsight "obviously that's what it means" take.

    Bugles is another great example where I do not expect instruments in my food. But there is the sweet sweet music of the crunch

  • That sounds reallllly rough haha, hopefully it was taken with more humor than insult. I just go with ye ol "assume ignorance or mistake over malice" anytime an interaction like that happens. Majoritively it is one of the former and there was never an issue to begin with. Sorta like getting some fused Bugles, I doubt the company intended to send it to me, just a simple double delicious mistake

  • I default to whatever the traditional apparent gender would be assumed I.E. you look like traditional woman/man I refer to you as such. Then I allow myself to be corrected if it's inaccurate.

    The intent isn't offensive and I'm not going to ask each individual what pronouns are preferred but will respect whatever I'm informed is correct in each instance. I think it's being made into a mountain when it's really just a mole hill. You can't expect every human to automatically be correct or informed or even default to a neutral when it is not yet the norm.

    It seems too trivial to be butthurt over if it isn't malicious, especially upon first interaction. Let the person know, then if ignored or dismissed it can be considered offensive.

    I don't get upset when people call my Bugles potato chips, they are little crunchy cones of heaven

  • SONOFABIT*H, I've been working on a project exactly like this with my friend for a couple years. Hella congrats they got it done and working first but damn :'( I was too slow.

    Imma go sadly crush some bugles with my face stones now

  • For starters, I couldn't find any bugles. But I did spend a month or two over there and a few hotels had these weird showers where there was only a half pane of protection abridged to the wall. So the shower head pointed away from the coverage and there was no curtain! Every shower seemed to be just flooding the bathroom and not be in the tub. Either that or I'm an idiot. I will equally accept both scenarios

  • As someone who struggles with interpersonal interactions thanks to the 'Tism, These AI have (anecdotally) proven more personable to the general than I am. It's also been more capable at expressing my thoughts properly than I.

    So I will munch on my bugles and command AI to make me sound like a reasonable human to the person on the other side of the screen. There is no flaw in this plan until I have to actually go on a date.

  • Speaking in terms of the USA, the constitution was built with the intended reasonable pursuit of escalating properly-to violence If need be. Peaceful protests, voting, freedom of speech, etc. are all avenues of reprimand towards an over reaching or overbearing government. Violence was seen as acceptable and even necessary in some cases but was never intended as a first resort.

    This is why right to bear arms exists along with all the other approaches. Now it's a matter or decision by the people of what methods have been exhausted, which are futile, and what is next.

    Revolting, fighting, and force in the name of freedom from a truly oppressive government is a necessary sacrifice for any people who wish to live with the freedoms that brings regardless of nationality, location, or beliefs.

    Clarifications: This is not against any government for any disagreement, just truly oppressive ones that strip human rights from the people.

    Violence should never be a first resort, but has it's place among negotiations.

    Personal opinion: These means should not be used for ones own benefit, you are upset because of the ways of life for all the people, the rights of your people, there is a fair likelihood this method will result in a world you will never see or benefit significantly from, its for others; those that follow. How else would I be able to sit here and eat bugles if someone didn't strive for a world good enough for me to do so?

  • Actual inflation

    Jump
  • IIRC inflation is the devaluation of the dollar and the laymen "inflation" people commonly talk about is the CPI, which is the actual price of goods and services (I.E. this is what you are actually paying, rather than how much power the dollar has overall). I could be wrong but it is an important distinction because it tells us exactly how F*ed we're getting by companies and corporations.

    TL;DR: Bugles cost way to friggin much now >:(

  • As an American I never understood the "you have to wait longer in Canada" argument. My sibling almost cut off a few of their fingers and was bleeding profusely and had to wait with a rag around their fingers for almost 4 hours in the ER before they got seen. This is in the US. I've had past partners waiting in large amounts of pain for upwards of 10 hours in the ER too (thankfully I brought some bugles to snack on). It's a problem in general, I'd rather it at least be free

  • Because I am obsessed with bugles, any comment or post I make that does not manage to fit bugles in somewhere (because I always have room for bugles) will be an imposter!

    Thank you for the transparency and keeping my nefarious bugle consumption private!
