  @35yearoldfriend If you want to talk to me about how to start a successful handyman business with no skills I have been a self employed gig worker since I started posting ads on craigslist 22 years ago saying I would come chop down trees and labor for $8 an hour. By the end of year I charged $25

  @StefanMolyneux My car was broken into, my wallet and music gear was stolen, and listed on craigslist and the seller included his address (across the street from me), and I had two gas station videos of him using my credit card --- the cops said THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW UP.

  @alt_w_v_g You know what ebay needs? "eBay local". Put up a fight against Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. FB marketplace is trash, and clist died when they started to charge for posting. Pls fix. Thx.

  @missenterry1 @poojeetstreet I used to refurbish electronics and build computer systems to sell on Craiglist. Hundreds of sales. I simply didn't sell to them. Chinese as well. They aren't much better. If the voice on the phone was broken English, I hung up and blocked.

  @hostbodyhan I find the best cars on Craigslist, beware anything that’s been on the market for too long. Test drive everything, corner at slow and medium speeds with the windows down to listen etc - Good luck!

  @OfficialVivek01 Here’s a cleaned-up version with your voice intact, but tighter and more defensible: I just read the rest. You are correct: BTC is widely traded now. But I grew up with it before this version existed. We used to trade Bitcoin through Craigslist, meet miners in parks, parking lots, wherever both sides agreed, and do the exchange like that. I quit trading in 2023. From 2008 to 2023, I never once heard of Michael Saylor being some master guru or “King of Bitcoin.” I barely heard his name at all in the circles I came from. Then last week I started paying attention. And once I did, patterns started firing off. Some of those patterns connected back to odd BTC behavior from around 2022–2023. I have rapid pattern recognition and a nonlinear mind. Some of that comes from early trauma. Some of it comes from combat trauma. When a pattern keeps hitting me, it does not leave me alone until I look at it. That is also why I was a scalp trader. Early crypto traders like me helped map the cycles everyone trades now. We watched this market grow from nothing. So I understand BTC very well. I can even build a blockchain. What I saw last week was odd. Brokers, TV financial analysts, and even BlackRock’s CEO are now openly talking about Bitcoin cycles like they discovered them. That is insane to me. Brokers used to get fired for even mentioning Bitcoin. They used to call us criminals for owning it. Now they act like they found it first. We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance drops hard toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where you fill bags. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax strategy, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not some random level. That was the deep structure layer. So now the question becomes fair: Was it just tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then BTC gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point Bitcoin may still be decentralized at the protocol layer, but the market layer becomes a farm. That is what I am watching. What moved before the wick Whale manipulation was never some secret to the old BTC traders. We all knew it was happening. We just learned the game, mapped the traps, and traded around the predators instead of pretending Bitcoin was some clean little free market.

  @NickFreiling He's wrong. You are wrong too. Craigslist is full of Toyotas that have 100k to 130k miles for less than 10k. Yes they are old but they are very reliable and very easy cheap to fix if anything breaks. The idea that buying new is the only way to get a reliable car is false

  @LuckyMcGee lol. I'm just thinking, if you plan to stick it down with silicone, you really need another set of hands. Look on FB marketplace or Craigslist for a handy man and hire them for an hour or two. Maybe reach out to thumbtack if you don't trust the locals.

  We built a garden shed from scratch replacing an old falling down shack. No plans just husband and I building with materials we could get off of Craigslist. It was so nice with the cobblestone floor we were like I don't know should we make this a hangout room instead of just parking the riding mower?

  @NikkiKnoxxo @MsAnastasiaRose @WeAreTryst SESTAFOSTA is what happened with Eros and ******** and Craigslist personals. Once Eros evacuated from their US office the support became abysmal. And then they got rid of the categories like ****. Tryst blew up rapidly when Eros ditched the categories & they just couldn’t handle the volume especially with all of the online only profiles and bots inundating the site. I was extremely fortunate that the one issue I had with tryst I was able to resolve quickly but it had me terrified when my profile went offline there because I have been deplatformed by so many places it was the only site I had left. I’ve heard if you reach out on here you get quicker support but can’t confirm that personally

  @GregHBurnham I hate the gpt "reasonable/practical/useful/clean....safe" garbage. I get its use for safety, but it is so annoying as it makes the thinking paradigm soooo ngmi coated regardless of scope/topic. Like they are really good at finding potential failure modes and problems. However, it treats it as an immovable object and execuse to downscope whatever the prompt entails. For example, i asked it to retrieve and store info from a Wikipedia page that need formatting in an md file: 3 turns arguing that the page is inaccessible as the python environment it has has "no direct wikipedia to md tool" and i had to tell it which tools to do. 2 turns arguing about how the file size is large and content being long to be displayed inline, thus it won't attempt it and it provided a" cleaner script for you to run on your machine". And some turns to get it to do basic data processing as it kept falling beck to try to "verify from online" if the generated processing was accurate or not and when it couldn't it just stops to tell me it didn't do any work because of that, fyi, the data in question was simply <100 rows and the processing is just getting median and mean of the entries for some wc stuff. So not a sophisticated LHC calibration and testing data. Fallback to certainty is ok. The issie is it also happens on another end. Like I asked it (codex here) to view craigslist ads for some housing and so and filter based on some criteria. For some reason, it felt like it needed smoke tests, ledgers, evidence packets, and deployment pipeline with robust standard, which wasted the token limit for an incomplete final output. You would ask for "find me good shoes to use for hiking XYZ mountain" it will tunnle vision to shoes exciplicitly associated with mt XYZ, if not found, it starts to downscope to regular shoes. Where if it had only looked for hiking shoes then eliminated due to to XYZ specifics.

  Am I the Ahole for refusing to pay my parents rent, moving out, and going completely ghost on them? ​Used a different account to post because some of my extended family members follow my main, and frankly, I don’t need the extra drama right now. ​I 22 male recently graduated from college and managed to land a decent, entry-level job in my field. Because the housing market is an absolute nightmare, my parents offered to let me move back into my childhood bedroom "to help me save up for a down payment or a place of my own." I was incredibly grateful. I figured I'd be able to stack some serious cash, pay off some student loans, and be out of their hair in a year. ​Well, the "honeymoon phase" lasted exactly two weeks. ​On the third week, my dad sat me down at the kitchen table with a literal spreadsheet. He informed me that since I was now a working adult, I needed to "contribute to the household." He demanded $800 a month in rent, plus a 1/3 share of the utilities and groceries. ​To put this in perspective: $800 plus utilities is essentially what it costs to split a decent 2-bedroom apartment with a roommate in my city. When I pointed out that I was living in a tiny bedroom with a twin bed, sharing a bathroom with my teenage sibling, and living under their strict house rules (curfews, chores, asking permission to have friends over), my mom chimed in. She said if I lived anywhere else, I’d be paying market rate anyway, so I might as well "keep the money in the family." ​I tried to compromise. I offered $300 a month plus doing my own grocery shopping and taking over yard duty. They refused, claiming I was being entitled and disrespectful. My dad literally said, "Our roof, our rules, our rates." ​So, I played nice for a month while I secretly scoured Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I found a great apartment with two roommates from college. The rent is actually less than what my parents were demanding, and I don't have a 11:00 PM curfew.

  @Thedude69750960 @bradleyryder @Cryptoboyy_Aji I did NOT have a "chance." I clawed success out of the rocky ******* ground. People make their own "chance." My fiancé and I rented an in-law quarters for $500 a month. It was ONE ROOM! So we slept and crapped right next to the kitchen. We had my pickup and a banged up scooter we got off Craigslist. Most times we took the scooter. Fun times. My fiancé waited tables and I taught piano lessons afternoons and nights, which paid the bills but still didn't offer much to save. So I went to a hard money lender (which means an exhorbitant interest rate and one year to pay it back - or you get your shins broken. But no credit check.) and bought wrecked houses, fixed them up, and flipped them. It was grueling work which cost me blood, sleep, and in the end a f'd up back. But we saved enough to buy our OWN wrecked house and fixed it up. Again grueling. We had to use the gas station bathroom for a months while we rebuilt the plumbing in the "new" house. Eventually, we started a new business and phased out the piano lessons and waitressing. Now we have four kids, and life is golden. Opportunity doesn't just fall in your lap. You have to fight and claw and dig for it. But it hurts. It's much less painful to sit around making lousy excuses.

  @CoFoundersNik During Hurricane Harvey, ‘clean up crews’ descended on Houston and they stole everything not nailed down while ‘remediating’. Telling homeowners things had been destroyed by water. The glut of flat screen tvs, electronics, and high end furniture that were undamaged by water or that had minimal damage, that went on sale on Craigslist or FB marketplace or eBay It is a cottage industry of legit dirt bags

  @TeamRetrogue @gamestop I've done a charge back on gamestop for selling me a broken disc and refusing to refund it. They have some of the worst customer service, and worse employees working there. Craigslist is more reliable than @gamestop these days. That's not even a joke.

  @Sarah4Texas @CurrentRevolt There really should not be a problem with this. As long as they’re not all freaks who made porn in an official RNC building and then posting it on craigslist. That should be a standard for both straight and gay people.
