Become an LLC.

LLC’s have more rights than citizens.

You start an LLC, name it something lawyer sounding like the last names of your friends but never call it a law firm. Call it civil representation.

Then when you get a customer not a client you can send letters on their behalf.

Most people freak out when they get an official looking letter with a “law name” on it. I’m not talking about the minority of people on here, but the majority of the population.

As long as you disclose your LLC does not practice law and you are simply “representing them” in a very general and broad sense you will be good.

They still have it but it is not as common as it once was. Pizza Hut has a book it nonprofit they funnel money into.

I married her. That’s pretty crazy to dedicate your entire life to one person. But I knew I found my soulmate for life. Been married for over 20 years now.

Nobody thinks about that but yes it would. You are not immune to the black plague so you might get that even if you are vaccinated. Plus who knows how many viruses and diseases happened back then.

Stone cold vs the rock. In the middle of the attitude era.

That’s a Geo Tracker and it was close to 40 mpg as you were going to get in the late 90s. That and the geo metro.

They show a target employee getting arrested but the target managers and their loss prevention people keep on high fiving and getting excited to fire this person. Cops were excited too. It just seems a little weird to see all these people getting excited about ruining this persons life.

Yes. And people just eat it up. I get it. I got caught up in the “hustle and grind” of life. I tried multiple income sources and I was proudly working 80 hours/week while missing my children grow up. But a life altering event caused me to pause and reassess my life. I started working less and spending more time with my family. I worked on myself from being low tempered to be more “go with the flow”

What is your best illegal lifehack?

I know they are paywalled but they give so much information.

I had a contractor that took my money and ran. I used one of those reverse lookup sites with just his name and phone number and I got his address as well as his relatives.

He did not like the fact I had a deputy serve him his court appearance or the time when I called his mother to confirm his data before the court date.

Long story short, I won the case. He claimed no assets so I will never get paid back.

He would be remembered as a martyr. Someone who gave up his life for all of us.

I interviewed a drug dealer that has been in the field for over 25 years. He looks just a regular guy. Nice house. Two kids. A wife who works. You would have no idea this neighbor was a dealer.

He and I wrote a book together.

People’s intuition on risk is wildly off here.

Skydiving sounds insane, but in the U.S. it’s ~9–10 deaths a year out of millions of jumps (roughly 1 in a few hundred thousand per jump).

Driving feels normal, but it kills ~40,000+ people every single year.

So yeah—both involve “transportation,” but the one everyone does casually every day is orders of magnitude deadlier than the one that sounds extreme.

I had $0.14 in my checking and $0.07 in my savings and my mortgage was three months behind and I didn’t have a job and I didn’t have anybody I could turn to for money. I realized how much I had and how I wasted it all. And knowing that climb to get back was going to be hard.

Walmart loss prevention are terrible. They are willing to die so Walmart doesn’t lose $35 worth of food.

I saw a police cam video of a woman who accidentally didn’t scan a $10 item. No big deal. I have been guilty of that myself. You get reminded to scan the item.

These L&P people called the cops and then the cops called for back up. They stopped the woman before she left and had her arrested.

No prior offenses. She had a baby with her (less than a year old). Just someone who made a simple mistake and would easily be fixed with simple conversation.

But Walmart L&P was not having it. Telling the cops to charge her to the furthest extent

Even the cops were like “Hey she didn’t do this maliciously. She has not left the store. She can still pay for the item. “

Walmart L&P told the cops to “teach her a lesson”

The cops were “nice enough” to wait until the baby’s father arrived to take the baby but the woman got arrested for not ringing up a $10 item

The L&P had these smug looks as if they took down some Batman villain. Giving each other high fives when this woman was put in cuffs.

I had a small plumbing leak that cost me $700 to fix. There was some water damage but insurance will cover it.

The cost to remove the water - $10k The cost to rebuild after the water leak - $60k

The way our floor was laid makes it impossible to fix just the affected area. They need to tear up the entire kitchen, living room, and hallways.

Six weeks of construction and while they are tearing up the kitchen we have no fridge.

My boss, her boss, her boss’s boss, the big boss (who reports to the CEO) and I are on a meeting last week.

At the beginning of the meeting there were some pleasantries being shared. The big boss shared her kid was going to be featured in some large chess tournament

My boss replies “that’s great. What kind of chess does he play?”

I was shocked because there is only one type of chess just like there is only one type of checkers. Yes I know there is 4-d chess, Star Trek chess, and chess game variants. But typically there is only one type of chess.

The big boss answers “You know chess. He is a grand master.”

My boss replies “Grand master. Does that mean he is a performing magician?”

I sat there looking at my screen in shock. My boss had not idea what grand masters are.

The big boss had to explain the chess grand masters to her.

Not to sound like an ass but I don’t understand the whole “Anybody hiring? Need a job fast!”

I ask them about their tech stack because I have a number of recruiters who can’t find people.

They always tell me they don’t have a tech stack and would prefer something retail oriented.

Yes. It looks like mine. With the gumballs on the ground. I read you can get a nut roller (Amazon $40) and roll the gumballs. If that doesn’t work, you can get a lawn vacuum (Amazon $130).
