Quit my job today to go into business for myself (electrician). I'm not quite free from work, but at least now *I'm* the one getting paid for it.
  • That's a great step. For anyone else too that wants to quit their job and start a business of their own you're an inspiration now.

    Do you have everything set up already?

    You'll need: a state business license, and maybe one for your local town and/or county.

    A insurance person to get general liability insurance, and you'll probably need commercial auto, and possibly EOI and a to get bonded

    a website is going to be great if you have basic computer understanding. Get your name and website name and purchase the domain it as soon as you can. Once you have a website you can add all the basic questions people would waste your time with. get your business phone number and email all over that. You can even run website ads if you like which is likely to bring in business on it's own but you have to pay for it so you want to be careful there and only give very hyper specific words in your target word or you'll waste money. You can always pay someone to do the website and ads for you.

    a CPA to help you with you taxes

    maybe a bookkeeper

    you can get a few t shirts and hats and or jackets and stickers and whatever oneline easily enough

    business cards to give out to all the clients you meet too

  • Capitalism
  • We agree that the current situation won't change itself, and change to this system from inside of it would likely be stifled and repressed.

    I agree that we need to keep trying to find a better way, because there are many people are will certainly keep trying to make things worse for us.

    The first step is a better way to communicate between ourselves about what we want, why we want it, and how to enact our intentions.

    With the advent and use of the internet we now have the possibility for a new way to organize our collective wants.

    This system, which I call a consensus engine, would let us as a species make long term goals and work towards their fruition. Without some way to communicate that is less sustainable to misinformation I don't see any way we can get out of this into something better.

  • New Study: At Least 15% of All Reddit Content is Corporate Trolls Trying to Manipulate Public Opinion
  • I'd say there is a huge amount of bots, then the smart bots, then the actual shills. The smarter ones run complex operations and are able to use their own power to self propel their own stories. And there are a lot of similar 'power users' who are not wholly paid for by someone but would do work for the highest bidder. I'd bet that yes, 50% of what's on the front page of major things is reputation management or Hail Corporate stuff, then I'd wager the mostly less popular stuff is actual people, with a ton of bad posts from all sides at the low popularity

  • Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
  • But what is unique is the fact that we have an extremely well preserved corpus of text surrounding him.

    IIFC all those writing are dated to well after the life time, like 100 year past it or so. It may be a bunch of written things but there is no/little reason to take those writings as anything but written down stories.

    Ever play Telephone with a single word for 5 minutes? Now do that to a epic for 100 years, the end result will certainly be something but it may be nothing like the truth

  • Proposed taxonomy of UAP origins hypothesis AKA all the possible origins of UFO/UAPs
  • This would be a direct link to the photo: https://i.imgur.com/NMNDl6b.png that I think it pretty interesting but that video shows a controlled disclosure timeline slide that is very interesting because the 2026 target of getting the fact accepted by some is potentially off track and it's from there that the academic study and eventual (timed currently 2030 {accd that slide}) total public disclosure are based on that milestone

    NYPD union sues Adams administration over new ‘zero tolerance’ policy on steroid use among cops
  • Do you agree that those who are tasked with upholding the law should be allowed to violate that same law with impunity?

    I understand your comment but I don't see how it could overcome the above question in regard to police officers.

  • Does the popularity of modern super hero movies mean that we get less fun Sci-Fi movies?

    I'm looking for some fun and modern sci-fi movies without superheros; lots of dark and incoherent ones for sure. What am I missing?
