crimsonwalker9 said:I couldn't agree more. My personal strategy is just to hunt for those specific scenarios where someone has already put in the heavy lifting on the groundwork, but they’re struggling to scale or manage the business alone, making them perfectly primed for an investor to step in.
That doesn't exist. If someone actually spotted a gap in the market and exploited it, they either already have investors breathing down their neck or they don't need the cash at all. So, what are you really looking for? Someone who "built something" without even realizing how big it actually is? Honestly, I think you need some serious grit and experience just to recognize when that happens. Not to mention, finding that kind of talent in America is a needle in a haystack.
If I were you, I'd go old school—like how people did things in the States fifty years ago: put an ad in the paper. State clearly that you’re an investor, list your budget, and put out a call for business plans. Let the best one win the chance to take your money.
It’s a fun enough watch, I guess, but compared to the original? It just doesn't hold a candle. All those tense moments get totally killed by the garbage CGI they used.
At least the History section on Reddit actually functions. The problem is clearly the moderation. It’s way too soft. You've got latent Nazi sympathizers popping up out of nowhere like they're jumping out of a jack-in-the-box.
Productivity scales with capital investment and education. It’s honestly a pretty straightforward concept if you think about it.
A map showing productivity levels across the European Union back in 2019 Darker colors mean better numbers. In countries where productivity sits below the European Union average, you see much faster growth because they're catching up toward that 100.0 benchmark. The US is consistently lagging behind on this front. It’s the exact same story when you look at wages. If you line up the productivity charts against wage data, the correlation is staring you right in the face. Which means there’s basically zero room for wages to climb here. We’re sitting at the same level as Romania, just with noticeably higher paychecks. Meanwhile, Romania’s productivity is set to explode twice as fast as ours will.
How many high-quality workers is an employer actually going to be able to find once those people realize that no matter how hard they grind, they can't outpace the growth happening in Romania?
Honestly, this subforum has never looked better, IMO. I’d go as far as to say it might be the only one left on this site that actually lives up to its name. The crowd here is mostly seasoned veterans—people who spent most of their lives hanging out on this forum feeling some weird urge to bond with the losers at the corner dive bar. Sure, some of them eventually found a partner and moved on, but why should that disqualify them from being part of the club?
It’s honestly pretty shady how they’re framing this as some big issue. You’ve got an author acting all high and mighty, basically discriminating against someone just because they dared to imagine a life where they actually paired up with someone. How long would some overbearing mother-in-law from a suburban HOA last here before she started demanding people get off "her" topic?
And really, who’s stopping the author from starting a thread to deal with his own umisliti, which I'm pretty sure is just a lonely heart? Especially if he claims there are others like him. It would be a decent way for him to show a shred of personality and actually talk through his issues. So far, all we’ve seen is his withered heart. He hasn't added anything useful to the conversation; if anything, he’s dragged it down, all while having the nerve to call himself a real outcast.
Honestly, the way they handled the actual contest was spot on, IMO, even if I don't follow it as much as I used to. The songs? Total bangers. But the movie itself as a comedy? Absolute garbage. It’s like Ferrell, McAdams, and especially Brosnan just didn't want to be there. The whole plot feels lazy, too. It drags on for two hours, yet I can't remember a single thing besides the musical performances.
If you're a huge Eurovision fan, you might actually dig it.
ruggedscout76 said:I would also like to request that we reinstate the chat and refrain from shutting it down entirely. It seems unnecessary to me, as there are plenty of us who maintain a decent level of decorum, and I don't believe the situation has escalated to a point that warrants disabling the feature altogether. 🕺 If my memory serves me correctly, it remains one of the most active discussion threads on the forum, which is precisely why we see newcomers drifting over from other subforums only to end up being muted. ☕ We simply need to perform some informed moderation to clear out the noise and then move forward. 🤷
I'm with you. You don't need to be monitoring the chat twenty-four-seven to spot the two or three idiots causing trouble. Why is it always the nuclear option with these people? That kind of logic just kills the vibe of the whole forum.
So, Anderson, have we actually made you happy over the last few weeks? Have we helped you kill off a little bit of your free time?
Great. Just great. Look, why don't you walk us through what the hell you're actually planning for the technical side of this forum? If there even is a plan. Please, just don't tell me you're shutting the whole thing down.
Honestly, they’re about ten years too late with this idea, IMO. I guess it took that long for someone to actually throw some cash at it. It’s not even the old Eurovision or Will Ferrell we used to know, right?
Based on the trailer, the humor feels just as bad as that Sherlock Holmes disaster from a few years back.
Judolin's and Rachel Richardson. It’s like putting Chuck Liddell and Ned Blatnik in the same ring. Calling it a duel is being generous—we all know how this ends. But hey, I agree, we definitely need a dedicated thread for this kind of showdown.
Just your run-of-the-mill Netflix cookie cutter. The action? Honestly, it’s not half bad. It’s a decent enough watch if you’ve got absolutely nothing else going on.
Daniel Kelly57 said:No way! Not at all. You definitely need to check this out if you enjoyed the first two. I was dying laughing. Martin Lawrence absolutely crushed it. The dialogue is killer and the bars he drops are insane! 🤣🤣
Yeah, true. 😁 The camerawork isn't quite as manic as it was in the second one, but honestly, I didn't notice much of a difference in the overall quality of the movie.
I’m just not feeling this movie. Honestly, just like with Megan, the trailer had me thinking we were actually in for something fun. Not quite what I was expecting.
