Are there no social services you can use? Like soup kitchens etc.?
You've gotta start tracking your expenses, you're spending less than a third on your rent so I'm not sure where all of your money is going.
Maybe make out a budget of all your regular expenses like bills and stuff, then see what you have left over.
Have you thought about giving up weed at least for a month?
>>1096429
try r9k
>>1096433

Do you ever think that work ethic is as genetic as IQ? And I don't mean inherited (or I don't really care whether it is or not), I mean pretty much fixed.
I did extremely well at school and all academic stuff but can't motivate myself to do much outside of it. I was one of the lucky ones who got an unfair ego boost because my preferences matched up to the school environment.
I can't motivate myself outside a rigid system.
I am "addicted" to the internet.
And so on. How do I get over this? How do I take advantage of my...

Actually we now have peer reviewed empirical science behind the concept of "willpower" its not some vague internal characteristic that you dont control.
Behavioral psychology not only turned it into something quantifiable but also discoverd ways to enhance it and augment it.
Of course, everything is inherited, but it has to be cultivated also.
The brain did not evolve to artfully manage the relentless bombardment of input that technology imposes upon it.
The way to get a work ethic is simply through ordered regularity and repetition. Like Napoleon Hill writes:
"Persistence is the direct result of habit. The mind absorbs and becomes a part of
the daily experiences upon which it feeds. Fear, the worst of all enemies, can be
effectively cured by forced repetition of acts of courage."

Yeah but they said it was finite and then they said it was inifinite. NOt that I take psychology too seriously anyway, as teh concept of willpower kind of refutes free will adn personal responsibility, and I would feel like a pussy if I said that about myself.
And to confuse things even more, I don't even believe in free will! (i.e. the atoms and laws of physics are doing everything, don't blame me)

>know how to do neurolinguistic programming
So what you're saying is you hypnotize people to buy your overpriced toothpaste.
Congrats, Prof X.
But try to use your powers for good next time. With "neurolinguistic powers" comes great responsibility.
you can also help the world by drinking a whole bottle of bleach
Naahh it is not hypnosis it is more to help your words looking like they were true,
why should I do that?
I used my 'powers' just for 'good' I saved a live and help where I just can but I though I could help my self with a bit of a part time job well and then I saw that it doesn't help anyone and taht it's illegal so why should I kill myself?
Anyone here have a woodworking business? Do you need to register your design when you make a product? What would happen if i were to make the bench in the picture and start selling it? Would i be stealing someone's design? I can't find any information on the bench
You're thinking of patents but you really can't patent a bench.
From all accounts I've heard from woodworking people expect Ikea prices for custom furniture. You'll maybe recoup the cost of lumber.
>>1098241
Maybe not patent, but could someone sue me for stealing their design?
>>1098250
Not a lawyer but I'm pretty sure they would have to have some sort of ownership of the design and I don't know how the fuck you could claim you own the design of a bench. Do it a bit different if you're really paranoid.
Hi,
I'm a chief engineer where I work and I'm responsible for two different tasks in an international project.
I called a meeting to include three from my office, including a colleague and my boss.
I also called inn 5 people from different countries, including the project manager.
The project manager first accepted, then two days later declined. He said "no disrespect but the meeting collides with.." That meeting is MUCH more important, and there isn't even comparison.
However, why would he add "no disrespect"?...

Is your boss higher up than the PM? If so, I'd tell the PM to bother your boss about his panty ironing schedule interfering with his business.
I've got no problem with the decline. I know what meeting he is going to and its to resolve a critical error. Mine is just formalities.
I just can't see why he would add the two words "no disrespect". It implies that he think I wouldn't understand his choice.
Maybe he's just uncomfortable being PM thinking he has to justify everything
>>1098155
There is a lot of ambiguity. So at this point you can assume he means badly, or that it's some attempt to say "Sorry I have to move the meeting." It's your choice. PMs often have to be diplomatic.
Who in their right mind would open this shit
>go to a shithole for work every day
>smelly desperate apes go to business with you because they have too, feel sleezy as shit
>shit pay
>huge liability, have to pay shitloads of debt collectors
And yet they are as common as flies.
Must be money to be made
>>1098141
>>shit pay
Not really. I mean I give you that it is a sleezy business that deals with the undesirables of human society, but they charge interest rates so high that they should be illegal. So even if some of the blacks default and even considering the cost of debt collectors, they're still making a decent profit.
Watch the vice documentary of the guys who opened a bail bond financing place in a nighood and gave out free shirts and shit for free advertisement.
Needless to say they're making $$$$$$$

Hell yeah my man OP tell those idiots, i would of been graduating this year with a 4 year degree went to tech school now in trades its meh 50k a year at 21 is ok anywhere but here

what is the time bomb?
Student loans literally, figuratively and subjectively have to be repaid.
The fed owns almost all of them thru sallie
Thats why im learning a technical skill, once everyone working retires there will be a skilled labour shortage and i'll be there making fat stacks.

It is a known fact that most gas stations don't live off of selling gas.
They stay in business because customers walk in and purchase few overpriced items.
This means that these gas stations are missing out on sales opportunity to those customers only pumping gas and drive off.
When you go to gas stations, you notice that there are no sales opportunity other than the machine asking if you want a car wash.
Why hasn't anyone put a vending machine or any coin driven business around these pumps?
sorry for an extremely large image of a gas station lol.
but is it only because it is against law to place any electric machines next to a pump station due fire hazard?
I've seen some Walmart and HEB's gas stations with Kiosk at pump stations selling cold drinks.
So I do not think electronics are the restricting factor here.
Well what else could they sell other than food and trinkets?
>>1096070
i could see them leasing out the space in between the trash can and the pillar to people/companies who want to put their own box there. though, it may cause complications with being literally right next to a fucking gas pump.
how can i make quick money?
only about 100 dollars

Now not only do you look like a brown-nosing liar, but a stupid one at that.
Have fun making french fries for the rest of your life
at least you didn't buy ethereum
Nope, that is probably a good thing. Not the best thing you could have said, but definitely not the worst.
When employers take on engineers, they don't want someone who has absolutely no experience in the other disciplines, since 95% of engineering jobs require collaboration between all sorts of engineers. If you understand even the basics of circuitry, then that means a lot less time spent explaining that shit to you and a lot more time getting stuff done.

Me and a friend are thinking of starting a courier service. Anybody with any experience doing something like this?
It's relatively cheap to get the proper business licenses in my area and there doesn't seem like a lot of really competent competition.
What do you think /biz/, profitable enough to build and be worth the effort? Anybody with experience willing to give advice?
Background:
We both have phones and cars. I also have very good credit so if we need company cards or loans it would not be an issue.
I worked in the transportation department of a large e-commerce company

Weed, mostly. Yea Las Vegas so it's also a big metro area, I know that makes thing harder I'm not retarded just trying to brainstorm with my favorite people. There's definitely competition but I honestly think we could a much better job. For things like grocery deliveries, the only service that seemed like something I personally would use also can't even pick up the phone and it seems like a single man operation.

Hey /biz/
Theoretically speaking , what would you do if you won the American Powerball Jackpot? You'd clear about 89,000,000 depending on your state and their taxes.
What would you do with it all? Move to the 90210? Travel the world? Build a business empire? Or become to world's richest NEET?
