  @GPX_News See if you're @X you have to vet this because you run the risk of being the Craigslist of Social Media down the line.

  @anumness And the irony that even with its Craigslist-esque theme it’s soooo slow.

  In San Francisco, a city on the cusp of every new technology, has a rather antiquated system for finding rental apartments. it's mostly craigslist and calling the phone number that hangs on a sign in front the building.

  if you really study zuck you’d realise that zuck’s superpower was never seeing the future. it was reacting to the present faster than anyone else. stories from snapchat, reels from tiktok, marketplace from craigslist, ai from openai. every single win was a fast copy executed at a scale nobody could match. the metaverse was the first time he tried to lead instead of follow. $80 billion later he’s shutting it down & going back to doing what he’s always done - chasing whoever’s winning right now. which at the moment is ai.

  All of the fraud comes down to one thing. Looney Craigslist posts and invasive behavior of me and my family

  MEMPHIS MAN TRIES TO TRADE HIS WIFE FOR A BASS BOAT, SAYS ‘FAIR DEAL” Because apparently Craigslist was down, a 54-year-old Memphis man wandered into Bass Pro Shops on Tuesday morning and attempted to negotiate what he confidently described as a “fair market trade”: his wife of 23 years… for a slightly questionable 14-foot aluminum fishing boat and $400 cash. Authorities say Ronnie Buckley-Jenkins approached the boat counter at exactly 11:14 a.m. (because of course he did), pointed at a boat priced at $4,200, and asked, “What would it take to walk outta here with that one?” When the associate gave him the price, Ronnie countered with a package deal that included: His wife, Denise $400 cash A bag of frozen catfish “to close the deal” Bold strategy. Shockingly, the employee did not immediately ring it up. Ronnie then stood at the counter for 41 minutes… just marinating in confidence. During that time, he presented a printed document titled “WIFE-FOR-BOAT TRANSFER AGREEMENT” (yes, in all caps, because professionalism). Highlights from the masterpiece include: A 14-day return policy (because customer satisfaction matters) A notarization by his cousin… who is absolutely not a notary A “best features” section listing “doesn’t snore” and “can clean a bass” An “as-is condition disclosure,” because we’re keeping things honest A checkbox marked “VERY GENTLY USED” (sir…) Meanwhile, Denise was sitting in the truck outside, completely unaware she had been bundled into a clearance deal next to a boat with a hole in the hull. The Bass Pro employee did what any reasonable human would do: pretended to “check with a manager” and immediately called the police. When deputies arrived, things only got better: Denise reportedly responded with a deeply philosophical, “He WHAT.” Ronnie insisted the trade was “fair market value” The boat… again… had a hole in it The employee was later offered a $50 gift card for surviving the interaction Denise has since filed for divorce, citing what legal experts are now calling “the boat thing.” When asked for comment, Ronnie stood by his decision, stating, “It came with a trolling motor.” Denise, however, offered a slightly different perspective: “I have a job. I have a HOME. I did not sign up to be traded like a dented canoe.” Somewhere in Memphis, a Bass Pro employee is still staring into the middle distance, wondering how their day went from selling fishing gear to rejecting a human barter system straight out of 1823…

  You don't need a designer. You need a decision filter for 'what belongs here.' 3 Proofs: 1. User Onboarding study: 86% of churn due to unclear flows, not ugly UI 2. Craigslist looks terrible. Still dominates because IA is perfect for its job. 3. Most redesigns fail because they change visuals without fixing structure Question: If users can't find features, will prettier buttons help?

  I wonder why no one built this. I spent some time thinking about why Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, and Craigslist still feel so broken. Before @TryCommonplace_ , nothing existed where you could actually buy a second-hand item with a credit card, get it delivered (often same-day), with only $1 down, for a fraction of the original price and without haggling, endless messaging, getting scammed, or meeting strangers in parking lots. @TryCommonplace_ makes buying used stuff feel like shopping on Amazon, but for real second-hand items at real second-hand prices. Yet somehow the old messy platforms are still the default for most people. It feels great to be building the version that just works.

  It's not a coincidence that God killed the founder of the prostitution website OnlyFans with cancer. The government needs to shut that website down like they did with ******** and Craigslist.

  DAY 8 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (the Craigslist pizza guy is asking for updates) told the pizza client the site is "in final QA testing" QA testing means I clicked the button once and it worked so I stopped sent him a screenshot of my localhost:8080 he asked what localhost means I told him it's a private developer preview link he said "wow professional" I am a fraud 2 hours of pretending to know what PHP sessions are 1 hour of actual learning what PHP sessions are I now know what PHP sessions are I immediately used them wrong and broke the login page ChatGPT fixed it ChatGPT is my real senior developer. I am just the one who copies and pastes. status: QA tested. localhost. deeply fraudulent. further less 💪

  @FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.

  I want to share a story that makes me look stupid because it is a testament to just how much America is a land of opportunity. Back in 2011 or so I was looking to get out of academia and I saw a job posted on Craigslist. It was a startup that they described as a Groupon-like new business (Google it, Gen Zers). Anyway, I emailed, they got back in touch, we discussed, and it was clear to me that I was not right for the job (see reply below for why, it's actually important). That company was called Applovin, which is now worth $138 billion dollars. Idk what number employee I'd have been--I seem to remember them saying #10, but that could be my mind playing tricks on me. Anyway, this was a craigslist ad and, if I'd been more money motivated, more willing to fake it until I make it, or maybe more confident, oh how comically absurdly repulsively rich I would be. And I ended up having coffee with one of the founders a couple of years later. We discussed what we were up to, and he was not good at all at hiding the contempt, disgust, and pity he had for me now that I was working as a lowly analyst on Wall Street, although he was certainly polite the entire time. But ex-Goldman founder types, well, they can only think in status and specifically the kinds of status games that their narrow little world certifies as valid. The moral of the story is that America has so much ******* opportunities, man, there are so many ways to make money, there are so many small companies that will become massive, and if you are not cynical and have an open mind you will find so many ways to get filthy ******* rich as a result. The best part of this story is I turned down a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (which, ironically, I've had several of), and I still ended up a multi-millionaire in my 40s with enough cash to never have to work again and able to just do what I want to do. That's how much opportunity there is in America--even the weird autist who turns down a huge opportunity still ends up wealthy. Try doing that in Germany. Or Japan. I ******* love being American man.

  @celticsfan695 It's not good right now for tenants. You get the best deals searching between November and February. Best chance of getting a deal now is to scour Craigslist and find the ads with terrible pictures.
