Low self-esteem. You need to believe in yourself more that you can succeed the slow way without shortcuts.

It’s awesome. I’m actually using it as of yesterday to guide building a new self-sustaining port for the next couple of years.

MTG previously was a product with a huge moat - it was self-moating. It had been continually worldbuilding since it's inception. Now that it's just a vehicle to sell shit based on other IP, there's literally nothing special about it. Hasbro destroyed the moat on their own property. We've seen Palworld basically ripping off Pokemon and mostly getting away with it, Hasbro has made MTG vulnerable to some other company creating an alternative TCG that steals the rich rule system of MTG but fixes all the 'problems' it has. It could be a new TCG based on an established fantasy or sci-fi IP, or it could be an entirely newly written lore, in either case Hasbro will be absolutely fucked if/when this happens. Once MTG has a serious competitor, resale value will plummet and people will cease buying new sealed product to speculate on valuable pulls.

Had to go crazy for a while and didn’t think I’d survive the loss. I ended up moving into my aunts basement where my cousin who passed used to live. I did therapy and attended meetings and watched anything I could about gambling recovery. I worked overtime in an airport in a new state and didn’t hang out with anyone or spend much money. I was able to save 25k in a year. I still have a long way to fully financially recover, but I’m self excluded from all physical casinos in the area, and excluded on stake and draft kings. It was embarrassing to move in with my aunt right before turning 29 but it was the only way I could save back up quickly. I’m 30 now and will never gamble again. Made my money before by working OT at the Tesla factory in Nevada and living with my mom and having no life outside of work. Hard to cope sometimes with the thought I spent my entire 20s working just to gamble it away. Haven’t celebrated a birthday in a very long time, haven’t been on a date since I was 21. Work took all my time and I gambled those years away. Only had 1 day off from work a week and I’d spend it either laying down, playing wow, or gambling, but the gambling escalated and became horrendous once I started doing it online on stake

This goober said hands off full self driving would arrive next year for the last 7+ years. He charged thousands of dollars for a beta product for nearly a decade. Back in 2018, he repeatedly claimed that anyone who bought a Model 3 would own a car that appreciated in value because it could be used as an autonomous taxi. I genuinely don’t understand how he wasn’t sued into oblivion for false advertising.

Sadly it’s because he keeps promising these futuristic products. I’ll give him credit for normalizing EVs. However, since every other car company started offering their own EVs, he’s repeated the same schtick. Promise some new tech that will be profitable and life changing until a competitor comes along and offers the same, but better. Saw this with self driving, autonomous taxis, and more recently robots. Now he’s pushing spacex ipo since it’s the one field that he still has a stronghold on.

Imagine the profitability of self driving cars not having to pay harpinder & darpreet $3 per hour to pin your girlfriends address

The spectrum that they lease, not own? The same spectrum that they have to pay $80 million a year AND share revenue for the rights to use? Did you look at the details of the spectrum deal or are you just repeating what is said over in the ast sub? If they don’t get 5 launches in by the end of Q1, and it’s a fucking foregone conclusion that they won’t, because they couldn’t hit a self imposed deadline if their lives depended on it, the price is going to drop significantly. Company is vaporware right now. Only revenue is merch sales.

I’ve looked, but I’m not willing to take a pay cut. I don’t make that much and I’m very self conscious about my salary as is. I’d hate myself if I did back breaking work for $20/hour in my 30’s. The trade jobs that pay well require at least 5 years of experience
