  @Rationale_Male No it's not. I used to run with a whole gaggle of knuckleheads from poor and broken homes. 1 is in prison. The cousins he was raised with are both dead. Some are alcoholics and burnouts who are 30 to 40 years old still living with their parents. The ones that are ok are divorced, sometimes 2x over, or living lives of service doing charity work for troubled kids through churches. The few determiners between me and everyone else I grew up with is slightly more money ( I was lower to middle middle class) and the fact I had a two parent home. Where as most of my friends grew up in poverty , raised by single moms , or an aunt in one case. Or by an alcoholic step mom in another case. I wouldn't trade my life with anyone I was friends with. I wouldn't trade the outcomes or lessons learned between me and them either And given the account I'm replying to, a couple in some instances may have attracted more women when they were 15. But not by the time I was in my 20s , and I'm the one who ended up in a stable marriage with a kid that excels. At best they ended up with baby mamas with kids that curse them out in the grocery store. If they got a woman or a kid at all There's nothing glorious or glamorous about struggling as a youth 1 out of 100 learns amazing lessons from it. Most get trampled by the experience and never exceed the adults that raised them Come back and talk when you know girls that went into porn and it just seemed like a no duh bc her mom sold her *** on Craigslist. Or when your buddy who's mom was a ****** and dad was a unknown John , mom died so Grandma took him in. Grandma dies so he becomes a foster kid . Aunt figures she can get social security check so she brings him in but soon as he's old enough to work odd jobs he has to buy his own toilet paper, toothpaste and grew up using water with cereal bc he wasn't allowed to touch the milk used from his aunt, cousins and whatever man she was sleeping with . He ended up in juvie and later as an adult . prison . Or the twins who were raised my mom and daddy number 3 with 4 other siblings who got beat by their sherrif step father Or the dentists child who got divorced and dentist won custody. Remarried. Dentist gets nailed for dealing drugs. Step mom raisj the child and she's passed out on the couch every night from drinking Or or or..I could write. A book of stories. The fights. The theft rings. The drugs at 13 and 14 years old that most people don't even get offered until they're in college , at best. My childhood first girlfriend was raw dawged ********** at a house party 3 houses from where I grew up. About 2 to 3 months after we broke up. I had to turn down ' my turn'. I was barely 14. She was 13. So yeah. Uh. **** kids struggling. A whole lot of other **** comes along with being raised by struggling parents who are trying to do it alone , they're over worked and come home exhausted and stressed to the point they hide in a bottle or zone out in front of TV while their kids run around tearing down the world.

  @its_The_Dr I love it. When the convid happened, I would say "I'll walk off into the woods naked before I comply". Well, there's a river that is a five minute walk from my home. I'll launch a boat first. I have two, but they're just little fishing boats. *searches craigslist for a broke down pontoon to remodel*

  @Hikaru_Chansey Just $200! But the drive to go get it was about 400 miles roundtrip and I pulled that off on a worknight. I saw the ad for it on Craigslist and jumped in my car from Cleveland, drove down to the Ohio River and bought it, and got back to work the next morning. It's amazing, because my first memories are from Circus Circus as a toddler.

  Let me give you my take about the fud some people are on about @RealBucketShop First off, all of this is hand-made :) not written by some language model, and not addressed to those living organisms who are trying to make a living out of throwing dirt at others with a broken heart and soul. if they take what they can take, thats on them. If you want to learn how cool it is to KNOW, and protect yourself from false information, continue reading. if you dont, just stop right here, and all the best for ya. It will be so easy to comprehend as I will give solid examples. Regarding "similarities". Real edge in businesses whether its small or big, primarily comes from "variety" and "solving more problems", the ones who trusts their position like it doesnt change, and dont improve, were cannibalized at the end of the day.. Let me give you some examples, since im some 40+ year old.. Zoom.. It came after Skype (never heard?), when video meetings were booming.. but after that, Zoom made it way simpler, more reliable, more businessy. Photo sharing.. It already existed on Facebook, but Instagram made it mobile first, visuals first, and built an entire social network out of it. Fun fact. Social networking was also present before Facebook, and people used it for long years, Myspace! Do you know Myspace? It was SUPERB!.. Moving on.. Google, you think there was no search engine before? Have you ever heard of Altavista, or even Yahoo? No? Okay. Now you know Google made it faster, and performed much better at ranking results, and started pioneering.. Gmail is also after Yahoo mail, note that as well.. (same mechanics? :)) not finished.. another one most of you never heard, is Napster. Do you know what Napster was? Digital music was already there, but new SaaS models, like Spotify, Youtube Music, etc. today is ruling that environment. Again, not finished.. Have you ever heard Craigslist? People were posting rentals, jobs, the whole shebang.. meaning, home and room rentals were already there, but AIRBNB still appeared, no? have you ever heard the founders story? how they got influenced? INFLUENCED? thats your homework. go check it out. hint: craigslist :) Another hilarious part, fudding with UI.. oh, dear. just know how they want to play with perceptions, living in spider web, and still decide on your own. examples, right. uniswap, sushiswap, pancakeswap and tons of other dexs REALLY USE SO DIFFERENT UIs WOW! so they dont use basic token in and out swap card because there are soooo many ways to present a sensible swap? :) instagram, tiktok, yt shorts? no? full screen vertical media with engagement button on the side? no? no? but no? :) amazon? and rest 93842943829423834298432 e-commerce sites? image to title to cart to purchase, almost identical listing, and flow? again, no? :) okay and the last one.. coinbase, kraken and binance. maybe they are structurally similar too, because order books, charts, balances, and what not have natural places to go? but really. one thing. Samsung, after Apple? no? :) take good care of yourself, and your family. all the best.

  @TheAlphaThought Buy a used car from a private individual who listed on Craigslist or marketplace in the last 2 weeks to ensure you're getting a deal. Beat them up on the price. Cool if it's needs a detail or has a little scratch you can fix for cheap. Then you resell for same price in 2 years.

  The alternative is to find an obscured listing on Craigslist or Facebook or drive down industrial roads looking for handmade rental signs. I'm not trying to play 6D chess just to replace the assets I already have.

  🧵 the forgotten market the standard pushback on any marketplace founder (few are left) going after horizontal C2C: „it‘s too hard. We looked at this space (and lost a lot of money)“  the core mechanic is trivial:  1. build a a place to buy and sell 2. onboard regular sellers 3. onboard regular buyers 4. match them 5. monetize the network asset  It‘s 2026 and every country has a dominant horizontal marketplace that dates back at least 10-30 yrs Founding dates Desktop era Craigslist: 1995 eBay: 1995 Blocket 🇸🇪: 1996 Ricardo 🇨🇭: 1999 Mercado Libre 🇦🇷: 1999 Gumtree 🇬🇧: 2000 Leboncoin 🇫🇷: 2006 … Mobile era Vinted 🇪🇺: 2008 OfferUp : 2011 Depop: 2011 Carousel 🇸🇬: 2012 Wallapop 🇪🇸: 2013 Facebook Marketplaces: 2016 … Void 2026 Combined valuation of all of them ~$250B I‘ve been trying to find NEW startups over the past year that go after this market and asked investors I talked to if they can point at any. The only one I found that was geared at regular sellers horizontally was tradepost raising $4M last year.  Their last iOS update was 6 months ago and hope that just means a stealth v2 or smth is coming, because it feels strangely lonely.  Like the one lunatic from Switzerland with a tiny team of 2 1/2 and the monetary firepower of a spoon trying to win a ~$250B industry.  $250B only includes what‘s visible: 80% are throwing (un)used goods away or let them depreciate. So why are we/startups are not trying to solve this? It‘s not like it‘s a niche problem or the prize of winning is too small. We now have global solutions for almost anything and our horizontal C2C trade infrastructure is running on Pearl or Java (mostly isolated by country). The UI and UX are like asking kids today to play Command and Conquer and Halo (no, they are not as good as you remember, don‘t try playing them and destroy your awesome memory) there are two camps: a) everyone failed, so it doesn’t work b) verticals win and a newer third one c) agents will replace them I‘m not going to address a) for obvious reasons  b) logical vertical fallacy that consumer convenience revolves around having ten apps to sell or buy something (un)used. c) I see some agent probability for (non-discretionary) B2C and B2B, but C2C would require the 80% offline supply to be online in the first place (which agent is taking the picture?). Automation for regular sellers is still the right move (there is also some element of selling hobby though) But C2C buyers are more like treasure hunters. They love exploring, going to the flea market. It‘s a hobby/passion. Finding that vintage lamp from the 60s for a bargain.  My daughter went happily shopping today and it wasn’t about buying smth specific, it was about the journey much more than the destination. (I personally love discovering and hate shopping btw) We‘re not going to send agents playing beach volleyball and proudly tell our friends we automated leisure.  It‘s why so many of us spend so much time on x, when we could also just ask Claude: „give me cool things to read“.  C2C has this social/culture layer that‘s really hard to capture without a timeline/feed and C2C UI tooling (swipes, taps, maps, connections, etc).  It‘s not as transactional as „how many vitamins does chocolate have?“ We addressed „big market“ and „horizontal UI/UX app layer“  I guess the most important question remains:  Why did nobody solve this yet and users are now even going to private chat groups? The people who tried were beyond smart, well funded (we‘re talking billions that were burnt). Some managed to put a (big) dent in e.g. eBay like Vinted for fashion, but we‘re still ridiculously far away from a Spotify like dominance over the global horizontal C2C app layer. Many failed to win the grand prize. Cold-start funding would be the easy answer (there are many people on earth). This is missing a much bigger issue: we forgot how building C2C works.

  @webdevMason Nope. The issue is you’re assuming these are in contradiction but they aren’t. The campaigns have lowered the number of unwanted dogs. That number is still high, still contains a high number of Pits, and doesn’t impact puppy mills in the same way, because the demand for those dogs isn’t identical to the demand for backyard bred dogs. Puppy mills often sell as professional breeders or pet shops, not Craigslist ads. Backyard breeders and mills have different customers.

  @EscambiaFLMan When I was in Florida, I had to escape in abusive relationship. Because of the 2019 DV scandal in Florida, there were no beds available or relocation funds. I had to find a place to stay on craigslist because I was stuck in complete Lawfare. I ended up in Hillsborough, staying with the daughter of an attorney and her boyfriend. I rented a bedroom. The other roommate rented the couch. The woman who was renting the apartment out was also doing OF with her boyfriend and getting food stamps and other benefits from the state. The boyfriend stole my car and drove under a red light camera. I was tracked down by an attorney and I had to pay $400 even though I wasn’t the one driving the car during the time in question. The crazy bipolar person renting out the apartment had plans to sell my dog and cat. She was also going to sell the girl renting the couch for $1200 and keep the money, considering it her rent. When they realized that we were not going to just allow ourselves to be abused in such a way, she started taking lightbulbs out of the lights and keeping the bathroom door locked so we could not use the restroom. I was forced to leave and take her with me. By then I had a UTI. And the only place to go was back to my ex-boyfriend‘s who abused me severely. I thought maybe if we went together things might be OK. They weren’t. My ex did what he always did and lied about me hitting him. He told my friend that if she ever told the truth about what happened that night he would find her. It’s a legitimate threat because he’s a realtor. He forced her to do things in return for having a roof over her head. I tried to save her. But I only brought her to another devil. I don’t know how I can ever forgive myself. All I can do is continue talking about the failure of the system where the police believed that they gave us a packet of information with a solution that will keep us safe. The packet was a false promise. I hope you run for office. We need honest people in the government. We need people who care about humanity. We need people who tell the truth. You are brave and I truly hope good things come your way.

  Caution with this #goatmilk lady - i ain't offering the #refundpolicy when y'all get into trouble. 1) false pretenses 2) the cyberstalking via craiglist 3) told me that she wanted me to sign some papers; the next day, it was probably a DEA staff. [?White male in blue SUV or something?]

  interesting form of intellect bounty hunting. the new form of 'ask reddit' or 'ask stackoverflow' is coalescing. downstream, i would bet this runs into metaculus + craigslist esque domains. micro prediction markets as reward caches for open problems, with pricing to inform compute + harness direction.
