By highlighting singular instances of a sharp rapid success story; people can be shown a mirage-like image which encourages others to follow suit.

If by following the formula it works, then there should be an explosion of successful entrepreneurs in the market. This is untrue otherwise the market distribution would look unlike how it currently is (probably more mid class, less low income class, higher top income bracket).

The reality is that most of the time (>60% I’d approximate), replicating “rags-to-riches” strategies does not produce the same successes as the exhibited highlights. Sometimes a person stumbled onto gold, and by putting a spotlight on that instance you’re showcasing only the business ventures that happened to pay off, sometimes it’s skill, perhaps a combination of both, other times pure RNG🎲.

Ex: Sharktank, from the start you only see a fraction of the people that can even afford to start ventures show up as a contestant, just how many are able to get an investment, and what are the chances that they’d succeed without an investor, publisher, starting funds, etc?

To me “rags to riches” are a prime example of a combination/parallel of a couple of things:

• Survivorship Bias
• Focus Group
• Misdirection Propaganda
  • by repeatedly showcasing exception cases, the perception of common norms is deliberatly changed (“this is how people usually get rich”, “Huh maybe I have a shot at getting rich too, maybe I should spend time to replicate their successes and turn it into my own🤔”)

If rags to riches worked, I and many others would be millionaires if not billionaires.

Personally I don’t trust the systems that these stories are built on and displayed as. I think the shows are entertaining but only that and nothing more.

I can see where your thought came from😄

hope it heals quickly!

this is honestly a solid shower thought👍

must’ve had a great shower✨

As it seems to work for Japan, it might be worth a try or at least some time investment to see if the system is sustainable

searched it just now and yeah it’s pretty bad

the previous call from Saudi Arabia for Israel to de-escalate the war seems to have been a PR stunt now

probably a hot take:

• Turkey in the Straw

This system poses a significantly high potential to be abused.

If you’re someone that identifies as a woman who’s still working for Elon for some reason, you REALLY might want to consider looking for alternative jobs as a emergency escape option.

It’s true, but it’s Steam policy. If you haven’t reached the threshold for the month, you are not getting a payment.

damn, guess that’s just how it is if you want to sell games on Steam I guess then :/

if this is true I’d recommend sending GamersNexus an email with the details as they might be able to help considering their past actions to hold companies accountable

Edit:
Steam policy rip, see comments down below

Congrats on the V for you and your friends!!🥳🎉

I’d recommend checking out OnlyOffice

• Licensed under AGPL-3.0
• Repo
• Flatpak via Flathub

I like Progress Pride and O.G.

Maybe I should’ve posted this in linux memes

please do this next time👍

Even if it were possible, personally I wouldn’t recommend using it as it would violate/contradict the system of trust and autonomy

Forcing the belief of:

• “you have to use Linux because I believe it’s good”
  • “because I believe x means you should believe y”;

onto someone makes that idea inherently untrustworthy and the foundations of its origin would be unstable.

My recommendation is that if you want people to use Linux or something because you trust it and want others to benefit in the same way; then it’s existence and systems contained within it should act as proof itself and shouldn’t have to be forced onto others

• similar to opt-ins rather than opt-outs

I thought at worst it’d be a typewriter with a vga or ps2 hookup but this is worse than I thought

having to use that and only that means you’re gigafucked💀

reading the article, I had a thought/question: wouldn’t the Swintec typewriter solely act as the typing implement and not as a stream blocker in a sense?

The typewriter obviously wouldn’t have functions such as n-key-rollover, macros and whatnot but would it restrict what application can interpret the user’s input?

If so then maybe someone could agrue that this is yet another case of IBM’s Bundling

Last, he wipes down the Swintec typewriter bolted to the table.

you’re right and that’s real cursed
