There's an associated file dump on her Twitter profile.
ready to share it?
yeah, the marketing requires refinement. it's a fancy product that requires a kitchen to produce.
need to decide if I'm going to go the way of the stacker & skip labeling that may be regulated. maybe I'll have to sell it as soap or a manufacturing lubricant in order to dodge a rule or two.
there's some questions about how I manage the manufacture.
first and foremost, I want to put the site up and see if there are any interested, potential customers. hence the A/B testing side of the application I'm building.
worth mentioning, this is an entirely self-run tool... no 3rd party application dependencies (i.e. this is entirely opensource, and hopefully replicable for others like me who would like to either implement it themselves or pay me to implement it).
... focus on signal.
perhaps you could elaborate as to the point your making. I'm open to hearing about lessons I have yet to learn.
I've downloaded and installed via zap.store
some bugs still, but great progress from the team.
looking forward to login w/ bunker
last week I vibed up a landing page for my site. this week I'm thinking about flying to a different state to accomplish some outstanding housecleaning chores & cleaning out all the ai-slop from the landing page.
also, hours are light at the day-job, so let me know if your company is looking for services

other men I didn’t know personally
I think this speaks to a particular need to be able to be vulnerable, safely.
Thanks for sharing

I find Harris off-putting (didn't used to, but something changed)
For me it was this episode when I realized I could no longer tolerate him.
health insurance's catalog
I wouldn't bother. I have a handful of friends who practice psychotherapy. It seems like the sorts of therapists who get into jobs that accept insurance are often herd-followers. I imagine you're going to want to speak to somebody who can at least kinda understand where you're coming from. (note: that's my own hangups, I could be totally wrong in that advice)
Unless you're actually strapped for cash, I would say that your best bet is to find somebody in your area who practices the sort of therapy you want to explore. I would suggest also that you find somebody who you have to pay well... as that's an indication their books are full.
If you can find one, expect to pay between $100-150/hour for non-insurance. but that's pretty affordable. And... if you have an HSA, then you're just spending pretax money anyway (I guess you probably don't have an HSA).
How did you pick a therapist
I've only ever found one therapist, and he was the perfect match for me. Well, I guess it was two, but I only ever got therapy from the 2nd.
I got on Yelp, looking for "therapy for men". I called the first guy, and said "hey, I know that I've been happy and that I've been sad... but people say they 'feel happy' or 'feel sad' and I don't know what that means to 'feel' feelings, which seems relevant to my needs."
he responded, "well, neat. we're all full up, here... but call this guy, who's a specialist in that sort of thing"
so I called the other guy. he was a trained Hakomi practitioner, and I spent 2 years navigating my thoughts & learning about how to feel my body's feelings. meeting him was an absolute blessing, and I think I orange-pilled him... so hopefully he feels similarly. that relationship was predicated on business, but it was also personally transformative.
I wish you luck. If you want a reference, hmu.
I've been using robots (complicated prompts + LLM) to build a couple sites this past 2 weeks.
one is a platform for A/B testing... configurable content on a site, backed by SQLite, with user sessions, no 3rd party data. as content, I'm using product that I've been noodling on for the past 15 years.
the other is a landing page for the business side of my consultation offerings.
I think I need to do a few more of these before I have the sort of portfolio I want to be able to share with potential clients.
I've also been creatively devouring the news. rabbit hole after rabbit hole. Howl, but it's the greatest minds of my generation completely neutered by psychoactive digital landscapes.
appreciate the opportunity of your post. for me to spin up some storyline that explains the last couple days of the shock and awe campaign that's throttled my productivity. oh well, it comes in waves. this too shall pass.
one of my favorite silly things to do to people when they're not expecting it is to play podcasts at .5x and make the host sound regarded
"humanitarian aid" that induces dependency is not "aid".
those organizations around the world that were responsible for doling out "help" to "the needy" were managed by people who got paid. it's those institutional managers and directors who are the largest beneficiaries of "the aid" (printed US money).
if you would like to see your government print and give away more of the money they tell us we must use, then I would advise that the best way to have a positive impact would be to give DIRECTLY to the people who need, without an institutional intermediary.
literally dumping bags of money out of the air over places experiencing "need" would be a better use of the funds (in terms of helping the needy), than developing, training, and institutionalizing the managers into dependence on foreign money for their income, in these "needy" places
however, if you wanted to develop the CIA's ability to cause color revolutions, then USAID seems to have done a great job.
this interview could have been 2 hours longer and much more informative about Theil's views, and I would have appreciated that. felt so frustrating that Theil was constantly interrupted by the interviewer
thanks for sharing.
Theil studied Theology if I'm not wrong. He says "I don't think the word 'nature' is ever used in the Old Testament" so I went to look, seems like it didn't show up till 1300
I think there's something to the "plebs are on a team, and we can coordinate the message" thing too.
it's kinda why I would encourage people to sell to their friends, so their friends can get gains in the long term.
obviously, people will do what they want tho
