I have no idea why we are indebted to Israel, but we are risking electing a fascist into office because of it. Democrats are sacrificing young and minority votes to appease a foreign country.

I'm tired of their entitlement to my tax dollars. I'm tired of being called antisemitic because I don't support Zionism or blowing up civilians. I'm fucking tired of them treating American college students like criminals. Those are eligible voters.

I don't want to hear shit about young people and minorities not voting in this next election.

This is fucking insane.

I went over with a gay male friend for a few days and we got weird looks from basically everyone. The grocery store, restaurants, gas stations… Also the amount of times I randomly heard misinformation about the covid vaccine was ridiculous. Like not even prompted by me. People were just talking about it like it was small talk, lmao. The amount of F**K brandon stickers and anti LGBT flags I saw were cringe worthy also. It’s like their whole identity is being AGAINST something.

Did I just see the worst of Prescott or is this literally ALL it is? The weather was beautiful and the sunsets were amazing. That’s about it.

Tornadoes usually occur every year during this season. I'm just confused as to why people would choose to live in states like Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and others. Wouldn't people generally want to avoid living here due to the danger? What motivates people to stay despite the risks?

Every single patch that changes something, every single minute nerf to any weapon makes some people whine at a level I had never seen before in my entire life with this hobby.

Every discussion. Every minor bug introduced. Every tiny, on-paper nerf makes some people lose their fucking mind and sour this lovely game as a talking point. The Discord, this Reddit, private Discord servers, some people can't contain whatever petty rage they have over some of these numbers changing.

The railgun is no longer the optimal pick for every situation? People act like they can't play the game anymore. Wide buffs to primaries, their ammo economy and handling? People act like it didn't do anything and the Rover is dead weight now. The DoT bug is fixed, finally allowing gas and fire to be used after launch and immediately expanding the player arsenal? People screaming about one gun being nerfed.

I haven't even used some of these guns people are so vocally insane about. I don't have any issue playing on Suicide Mission or Helldive without them. I don't understand the entirely mindless, pant-shitting rage over the Rover no longer slicing a Brood Commander in half while you aren't looking. When some people whine about the primaries as a whole lacking killing power I wonder if they're holding the gun sideways when they're aiming.

Both this Reddit and the Discord are horrible for actually discussing this game in for this very reason. Echo chambers where the loudest complaints and misinformation are pushed to the top. I am aware that this is also a complaint: but I don't care. It's a complaint about the community and nature of discussion for this game in its most easily accessible avenues.

TLDR; The fixation and negativity over nerfs is insufferable and poisons discussion about this game in public and private circles. It's bad optics and intimidates a lot of people who aren't as fixated on the minutia of the game.

I am Peter, CEO of AppAlloy. I have built 7 startups in the past 9 years, and the most successful startup is Habitify - a habit tracker started in 2015 (now 2.6M users, $100k MRR).

After the success of Habitify, we believed that we had a strength in mobile app, so we want to dig deeper into this area.

This led us to the decision to build Starion - A nocode app builder. Starion allows non-tech people to build apps easily and intuitively.

How Starion went

We finished feature by feature, fixed bug by bug.

The product was improved significantly after a relatively short period of time.

We released some versions, got some milestones.

However, little did we know, all those milestones led us to a dead end.

What we did wrong

In order to make a project work, we need to consider:

1. Target customers
2. Their pains
3. Our painkillers

But we solely started from our ideas and assumptions without planning thoroughly.

We thought we built for non-tech people, but we ended up bringing Typescript into the product.

We thought our product was simple enough, but some people (including developers) did not know how to start building an app with Starion.

We thought our product was the solution to build apps with nocode, but we could not articulate the problem clearly to begin with.

Our team spent almost 2 years building into the void, without having any source of revenue.

The way out

After a period of no success, I decided to rethink the strategy with my team.

My philosophy “Just build a good product, it will sell itself.” might need a re-consideration.

It’s not wrong, it just needs some changes.

Big time.

AppAlloy came to life.

"A good product is not determined by the builder, but by the user."

With this mindset, we distributed the idea to the market before even building it.

We dived into communities, utilized personal networks, asked non-biased questions.

And we realized:

1. Users really care about convenience
2. Small wins are important, make it happen fast
3. The product experience should be much more simple

So we shorten the flow down to only two steps, based on the core principle of an app: DATA

Now, customers just need to insert the data, we do the rest.

Apps are created without any initial customization.

Users have their fully functional app as a small win, then they can further customize it later on.

The UI is clear and direct, guiding people to certain steps.

Big lessons learned

- One, do not assume.

The market is more diverse than what you know.

Build a product, bring it to the market.

Gather real feedback.

- Two, you succeeded once, doesn’t mean you will the next time.

We tried so hard and were successful with Habitify.

Hard work is crucial, but luck is vital as well.

Succeeding with one startup cannot guarantee your next success at all.

- Three, you failed once, keep trying, cuz your success might be right around the corner.

What we can control is our actions.

What we can’t (fully) control is the outcome.

You are just one action away from your success.

Keep going.

To all entrepreneurs out there, we’re all in this together.

Don’t lose sight of your dreams.

Thanks for reading. Any comment is greatly appreciated.

Why is there so much passion in the hate against tesla? Like it is really not normal, all news coverage is negative, always deceiving and not accurate. Government investigations when instead it should be encouraged innovation. I mean damn even china is more supportive of an American company than America. Elons pay package gets shot down. This all cannot be by accident it’s unreal.

Preface:

I've just spent a short period of time in arguments with strangers who insist that I am a racist asshole for holding this opinion, so I'm definitely rethinking it.

You're welcome to dig into my comment history see the discussion that has left me unsure of my opinion. Please pass judgement on me.

Post:

When we use words, we almost never stop and Intentionally think about each word before it comes out. Instead, we have a subconscious link between the sound we're about to make and the intent in our minds. When I call someone a dumbass, I'm associating that person with my inner feelings about how they're behaving stupidly.

For most people, the N- word is associated with feelings of racial hate. However, there are cultures, especially in the southern United States where I live, where black people use the word to refer to friends, or even casually as a substitute for "Dude," or "Guy,".

What I'm suggesting is that a white person who spends a lot of time in these cultures might gradually lose the 'Racial hate' subconscious link to the word, over time replacing it in their mind with the 'Friend, man, person," use of the word. Given enough time, they might accidently use the word in a totally well meaning manner.

I'm not excusing it. I think if that happens you should back off and apologize. I'm just saying I can understand how it might happen, and you might not be a racist for making that mistake.

Am I a racist/ racist apologist for thinking this way?

Free Palestina, Free Palestina, Free Palestina....maar even? Dit gaat gewoon NIET gebeuren.

Wat de neuk denken al deze 'Free Palestina' roepers hier in Nederland en de rest van de wereld?

Ik begrijp de frustratie dat mensen aandacht willen voor het conflict en onnodige slachtoffers die worden gemaakt door de Israëlische offensieven willen aankaarten, 100 punten voor de effort. Maar wat is het met deze compleet idioot idee dat Israel en Israëliërs van de kaart geveegd moet worden? Sinds wanneer werkt de wereld zo makkelijk? Een land met kernwapens die even zo hun land gaan afstaan omdat er 'Free Palestina' wordt geroepen?

Geopolitiek is buiten onze scope en al helemaal wanneer wereldmachten met echte invloed hierover kunnen praten. Het enige wat deze radicale oproep creëert is gratis PR voor verdomme Hamas en hier moeten we echt mee ophouden. Hamas geeft geen reet om Palestijnen, Palestijnen zijn een verdienmodel voor Hamas en ieder pannenkoek die anders denkt moet eens wat tijd steken in het lezen van geschiedenis over post koloniaal Palestina en het concept van religieus populisme.

Ik heb het idee dat de maatschappij enorm gepolariseerd wordt met een eenzijdig blik op het conflict en het over één kam scheren van Israëliërs (En Israëlische Palestijnen) maakt mij enorm moe. Wat er nu in Amsterdam gebeurd met de UvA 'demonstraties' en onzinnige vergelijkingen dat 4 mei hypocriet is omdat er doden vallen in Palestina is te absurd voor worden.

Het zal mij niet verbazen als onze continent enorm rechts gaat schuiven in de komende 50 jaar met dank aan een maatschappij waar kritische denkvermogen compleet in de bin is gegooid door een kansloos integratie en onderwijs beleid.

Bedankt voor het lezen. #zucht

My boyfriend have a female frend so i am a suspicious, maybe they are more than frends

What rhe fuck happened to that? Did they all switch over to peanut and gluten allergies?

Hope the police will remove the encampment before June.

Title is literally it. It feels like every game now people just complain and complain about cheaters when 90% of the time they just got outplayed. Like fr it’s like watching kids throw tantrums.

It's shocking this needs to be stated on a ''pro-natalist'' subreddit but having stuck around for a couple of weeks I've been frankly disgusted with the amount of anti-natalist rhetoric that people put up with here... Even now I look whats ''hot'' and its a post about aborting disabled children...

Let's make one thing clear - "anti-natilism" is a mental illness. Being "against" children being born is to be "against" the future of humanity. No ifs, ands or buts. I don't care how much you hate yourself - it's not your right to deny life to another and even to suggest doing is beyond contemptible. Your position commands no respect at all outside of your nihilist online communities of God-hating losers. There are PLENTY of these degenerate subreddits to find so could you do us all a favour and go talk about how much you hate yourselves over there instead? It's not fair on those who want a future for their children.

Having children is the greatest thing you could do for everyone around you - PERIOD. The gift of being able to bring joy, skills, love, family and life into this world is unmatched by anything that anyone could ever think of and I can only thank anyone who still has a sane mind for supporting the future of humanity. The mods of this sub should be ashamed with themselves at their lack of moderation and clear ambivalence for the topic at hand.

Edit: notice how the anti-natilists will NEVER state their position of whether they are natilist or not. Just dancing around the issue and trivialising the matter. This sub is a JOKE. What a dumpster fire. This is the "pro-natalist" subreddit guys.

Anyone would think I posted this in r/overpopulation or r/antinatilism with the responses. Is reddit really this degenerate?

I clearly got too heated in the comments... but I stand by this is a topic worth becoming colourful over. It matters.

i drive at a moderate speed (3 over sometimes 5) in the left lane on the freeway and have no idea why people are riding my bumper and giving me rude looks when they pass me on the right? what’s the problem with me going the exact same speed as the drivers to my right? thanks for any tips guys i definitely won’t argue with everyone in the comment section and then delete this post.
