  @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.

  @eliasluoto @DejaRu22 They’re extremely well built and will last you 10+ years. Also they have aftersales parts for anything that breaks. I picked one up on Craigslist during COVID when some offices were shutting down/going remote.

  DAY 6 of coding to make my parents think I have a real job 🚀 target - become a full-stack developer 💸 earned - $0 (a guy on Craigslist offered me a pizza in exchange for "a small website". I said yes immediately.) the Craigslist client wants a full e-commerce website he described it as "something like Amazon but smaller" I described it as "sure no problem" I do not know how to build this I opened ChatGPT and typed "build me an e-commerce website" ChatGPT gave me 400 lines of code I pasted it it didn't work I asked ChatGPT why it doesn't work ChatGPT apologized and gave me 400 different lines of code I am now the middleman between ChatGPT and a pizza mom asked who I'm talking to at 2am. I told her my senior developer. she asked why my senior developer sounds like a robot. I said that's just how senior developers sound. status: in development. hungry for pizza. outsourced. further less 💪

  @mattyglesias Another big issue is the death of local reporting. Local newspapers were decimated first by Craigslist, and then finished off by Facebook. I'm on a couple local councils and the Chamber of Commerce, and there is no good way to keep people informed anymore.

  @UziCryptoo Craigslist has one bedroom apartments and even houses for $6-800 in LA. The latest generation cries more than any before. "Get up, get knocked down but, always get back up." -Mom.

  @ohgoshimsam @pokimanelol @bigmonkeong 1. Why you respond to this so late? I didnt' even remember this conversation LOOL 2. Still no. If I try to haggle the price of the bike I found on craigslist down 20 bucks I'm being manipulative by definition but I'm not a predator. Manipulating people does not inherently make you a predator. Nobody uses the word like that

  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?

  10 years ago I bought a desk off of Craigslist of $75. I offered him $80 if he would deliver it (1 mile). I still have the same desk. Down to about .53 cents per month by now.

  @DeivonDrago I've legit considered putting up craigslist ads for ghostbuster services. I show up to the "haunted" house and just explain ghosts ain't real and demand my hard-earned pay. Then I realised this is a funny metaphor for dispelling the mystery of the Hard Problem.

  Who in the world owns Craigslist? I just heard that Tesla had bought it out, is that true? We listed Belgian Mallinois puppies on there for sale and they keep taking the ad down, saying “some posters objected to my ads”. There are some petty, immature jackasses out there including Craigslist! That’s my rant for the week!

  MEMPHIS MAN ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE HIS WIFE FOR A USED BASS BOAT AND $400 (PLUS A LITTLE SOMETHING TO SWEETEN THE DEAL) MEMPHIS, TN — 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...

  Here is the Craigslist ad for the company that hired this petition gatherer. Note: this is a subcontractor to the firm hired by CHA/CTA/Consumer Attorneys/Uber. They hire people as independent contractors. Based on the three part test in AB 5 (@LorenaSGonzalez) this is illegal. And everyone knows it. But they still hire these firms who use an illegal employment practice, one which is fraudulent, and encourages more fraud. The AG @RobBonta should be shutting all these operations down, confiscating all the signed petitions, and creating a massive cost to any organization that collects signatures with these shady firms. Firms that hire the handful of shady / monopolistic firms should fear that all their petitions will be impounded by a legal action by the state AG or a County Prosecutor if the firms they hire are breaking the states employment law. And that’s a minimum. Preferably this gets backed up by an aggressive reform. Looking at you @isaacgbryan - LFG!!

  @Shiwon_NZ_Ao @AirbnbHelp @ApartmentsHope You live in a fantasy world, where AirBnB is responsible for anythig. Yes, they like to pretend so into your (customer) face, to justify their 20% cut. Under the fake surface, they are just a pink Craiglist. You issue is with the owner. AirBnB will fine him, keep his money and give you nothing. Many such cases. Research the horrid stories property owners had - not with guest but with ABnB.

  @Jome253 I had the lite but didn’t keep it long and sold it off so no big catalog I have a 50min-1hr train ride to work so handheld is ideal, can also use during shift.. Money isn’t issue but I’ve looked on Craigslist for value but most are too used up so leaning brand new.
