I’m having trouble selling my cursed cast iron pan on Facebook Marketplace. Hoping that the audacious folk of Substack Notes will be a bit more adventurous. I am weary of my kitchen being engulfed in hellfire.

I guess I’m just surprised someone is going around stealing niche copyright courses from an independent creator.

I’ve done a lot of online courses and it’s just never something I thought of as having a pirate market. But since I’ve never created one, I guess I wasn’t aware of the intricacies.

Didn’t realize this was a thing people did. That really sucks.

Other than the video protection measures of things like Wistia (which aren’t full proof) idk how you’d even stop someone from just paying and then scraping or just screen recording.

It looks like they don’t even pay but still get in?

I’m now on the job and dating markets at the same time.

Frankly, I should have standing to sue America because this is 100% cruel and unusual punishment.

Next on our sample list we have a varietal from the Caquetá jungle region of Colombia, known for its odorless smell and instant kick.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro said during a government meeting that cocaine is “not worse than whiskey” and that it's only illegal because it comes from Latin America.
Colombia’s president: Legalize cocaine, it’s no worse than whiskey
Global drug trafficking could be “easily dismantled” if coke was “sold like wine,” according to the Latin American leader.

Just launched my new series, As Seen On Dating Apps!

It starts with my profile creation.

How does one stand out in a crowded world filled with too much information? The way we have ever since Bill Gates got out of that garage.

Powerpoint.

Frankly, if I’m gonna be abducted, I’d prefer that little slice of time from 7:34-8:12AM.

I'm sick and tired of broad daylight and the dead of night hogging all the coverage. Carry me off in the narrow daylight.

The biggest mistake we’ve made as a society was removing all the trolls from beneath our bridges and giving them internet access.

True trolls yearn for the bygone days of babbling brooks.
