How happy or pissed would you be if U.S. government imposed a large tax or some kind of tariff on AI?

Starting is the hardest part. If you can break past the initial difficulty of beginning something, then you are ahead of so many people because that momentum will carry you forward through those daunting moments, and may reward you with increased opportunities.

LETS GOOOOO

It's insane to me that even apprenticeships in software engineering require 2-3+ years of experience in various languages. This is not the first one I have seen either.

I have reframed my perception of laziness. They aren't lazy, they are lost. Context matters. Of course, not every lazy person is lost. A majority of the time this appears to be relatively true, anecdotally.

It's not about doing good work, it's about doing the right good work.

Im jealous. I wish i was in there with you guys lol. Looks great. How has it been so far?

Thanks! I have to get to a place of power in my future so that I can help and raise others up. It would bring me so much fulfillment and purpose if i can. It's certainly a goal.

Thank you for sharing, means the world. I'm gonna try my hardest to get her out, get her safe, keep her safe, and get her on her feet.

She needs help immensely. I cannot even begin to tell you how bad it is. If you could share that would help!

If you can't donate or don't want to, I seriously understand. I can't legally explain, but I can attest that her story is one of the most chilling, inspiring, and powerful ones I have ever heard. She deserves the love and support more than anyone I have ever met. Please share it if you cannot help.

Of all the things I have imagined in life, I must unequivocally say, that what has happened in the past few months was something I never thought was remotely possible. My friend is fighting against her ex-husband for custody of her children.

As a poor person, i must object to these price increases. Dost thou comply?

I think in a society where we're trained to prize answers, questions are the undervalued thing... I'm more impressed with people who know how to direct the machine by asking it the right questions... asking great questions is the 21st century skill that's undervalued right now.

You want to position your service to attract a particular client type, and reflect on the perceived value and potential impact. Your service, whatever it is, should have value and impact. Remember, poor customers and average customers will focus on asking questions about pricing.

Raise your prices. Your job is to find the ceiling of what the market will bear, then acquire the skills to close the skill gap. Raising prices is a way to test the market and identify the value of your services.

Would you trade places with Warren Buffet just to have his billions of dollars? But he's really old. If you would not take that deal, then you must value time over billions of dollars, right? Then start treating your time like it is valued too.

We have Microsoft Excel World Championships. How come we don't have @visualstudio.bsky.social

World Championships? What would that look like?

There's too much to talk about on bluesky due to the limit, and would require a substantial thread to do so. x.com/trivenge/sta...

I don't normally ask for help, so I am asking help for the first time in my life. Help me so that I don't end up losing my job, and my ability to stay afloat. Please. Thank you for anyone who has read this. I look forward to helping you as much as you are helping me.

I will do the work for a massive fraction of what I normally charge. Help me help you, please. I deeply appreciate anyone that is able to help out. I feel like a horrible human if I ask for donations, but if anyone is willing to donate your coffee money today, I would be willing to set that up too.

I have worked with countless creators in the world of YouTube. I have been a long time YouTube strategist and would love to give you advice for YouTube journey. So if anyone needs any video editing help or wants some excellent marketing advice, please reach me by posting here or DM me.

So, instead, I want to offer my skills at a fraction of the cost to make this happen in a very short period of time. I am offering my video editing skills to any creators, businesses, or anyone in need.

For anyone who truly knows me, I have a major problem in asking people for help no matter how bad things are. It had been a thing dating back to trauma in my childhood. I would ask for donations or setup a GoFundMe, but I don't think anyone would help and I feel really embarrassed about all of this.

All I need is a down payment so that I can get that car loan so i can continue going to work and keep myself afloat. I will recover the rest of the damages on my own over time.

What does this mean?

At the moment, I am trying to make the car loan happen here so that my life doesn't suddenly spiral downward. This means I am catching the knife as it drops before it hits the floor.

No, I didn't have insurance on my gear and i deeply regret that (let this be a lesson for all of you). I was going to use my skills to offer some photos or do some video work to gain some quick cash to get a down payment for a car loan, but that isn't an option anymore.
