@johnnyb46 Whoops no - clarified it. Funnily enough - the one game I played forever was Subspace. When it lost official support (way back in 1997... or was in 1998?) a lot of hacking started, and this guy got fed up with it and created his own patch to stop the hacking. Sony was so impressed...

@breathofdivinity Lol no. I think that's mostly experienced by women. If we break this down, it's basically "what are something only women can do/deal with, and which would you pick first?" None are appealing enough for me to go "aha first!" Can we include dead people? If so, I'd likely pick...

@songbirdagil I gotta be honest - I cannot answer this one well. I've always had an engineering mind, so I immediately start breaking down the process. I will say - the idea is often times grand, and the goal should be something little. I said this earlier - Examine was originally...

@613jono It's incredibly powerful when you meet someone and they are like "oh yeah xxx told me you're amazing" - in many ways, the social barriers we erect go down and things are a bit more casual/relaxed/honest.

@channeljoel228 Well - if you hang around in /r/fitness (high sub count), you will see a ton of people post there. A lot of it is rudimentary questions (is creatine good for you? How do I lose weight?) So two things split out of that: A bunch of subreddits form. /r/weightroom/...

@613jono I generally loathe overly reductionist questions, but there's a general truth about humans: we generally are lazy and want to work with people we get along with. If there's one skill I'd recommend to my niece or nephew (so real world) - it would be learn how to talk and work with...

@channeljoel228 www.Examine.com - run by SilverHydra, who was up for moderator of the year for 2011 (lost out to AskScience mod team).

@anon5678 Thank you!

@anon5678 People look at a problem too superficially. I'm a huge huge fan of Bob Moesta and his Jobs to be Done (JTBD) approach/framework. The idea is that demographics don't matter... you just need to solve the damn job someone is truly looking for. The famous example is the milkshake "job"...

@confused2082 Awesome :) I did not - it's still 95% done. DM me your email and I'll at least send you how I did my cookie offs.

@confused2082 Yeah it's always a ladder - you meet X who introduces you to Y to Z. I gotta be honest - I get to cheat because I have experience and Examine. Being verified and Wikipedia and all that shit gives me a leg up. So relative to most, I'm on a mountaintop. With that said - I'll say...

@confused2082 100%. I am BIG on pushing your levers: https://www.sjo.com/leverage/ Yes and no. It's also a testament to the power of reputation - a lot of people have inextricably linked me with public good/advocation for the under-resourced. I think in many ways people didn't ask because 1)...

@confused2082 In this situation, the advocacy is making the skills of the people you are advocating it more easily accessible to those who can use it. It's like when people come to me (which happens a lot) - all the time people will say "how can I help?" Maybe one out of a hundred is like...

@confused2082 I generally do loathe the word, but I'll say that people flit around way too much - on insta, on tik tok, on this, on that. Find one distribution channel that has your audience and focus on that shit. It could be any slice - eg it could be forums. It could be ads. It could be...

@mommajulesberry Sweet If I may, how old are you? As I've aged, the one lesson is that 100% is for very rare occasions ;) Honestly, people look for a homerun, but that's not it. Get enough sleep. Seriously - you should be waking up without needing an alarm clock. And if you are hitting...

@jonahmayhew Bah - I've been meaning to write an article on how I found my EA forever :X I found mine on craigslist. I had a friend tell me to look for someone who is a mom who isn't looking to go up a ladder and just wants a reliable job, like 10-3, so she can work but then take care of her...

@catholic2001 Thanks :) Incidentally I JUST restarted them! I had to stop because LI removed the ability to get emails, but they recently re-added them, so I sent my first one in like 2-3 years just last weekend! 100%. What I've found from my network is there are random connections that I...

@ktxllc Pop me an email - sol@sjo.com

@iamremnantband SJO's entire point is "I've done this, let me share my experiences with you." The moment I make it my focus, it kind of breaks, ya know? (Plus since I have a team, including an EA and an apprentice, I could cheat my answer!) With that said - I'm not a believer in advice. Far...

@mikeliznsam Yay thanks! I'm kind of coming around on this and I think it's more like "what can you look back as missed opportunities." For example - everyone always blathers on about how "I wish I delegated more" OK - how the fuck do you get there? You don't just hire someone and go "GOOD...
