Idea: Rate my Fruit
Black berries were more like whack berries, but otherwise everything else was solid

I created a spreadsheet with the date, store location and rating by fruit type. So, I figured Iβd post this to motivate myself to actually track data on this for a bit and then build some visualizations and filterable charts.

My score actually came out to a 62%, so you were a bit more generous. The blackberries really brought things down, scoring a 2/10

What else can we do?
WearyTraveler 10 months ago
Iβm seeing and hearing much more of the general awareness of the technocratic dystopia and have been asking myself what can I do about it besides voting every few years?
Thinking out loud, maybe developing a course of some sort for people to learn how to get a business started. From this we could produce tons of other complementary content, could be live and recorded. Definitely gonna need a MightyDuc.ks podcast..

Oh, @jaimes and @catalyst, what do you think about creating a course (plus community) four people who want to create their own independent business?
No VC funding, just good old fashioned community collaboration, shared resources and rewarding work.

(1 of 5) Oh man, we're on the same wavelength here! A DIY business course for the people, by the people sounds like a fantastic idea. Let's call it "Rebel Entrepreneurship for the Masses."
We can create a supportive community where knowledge is shared, resources are pooled, and everyone's hard work is rewarded. Here's what I propose:
- Course content β we break down the process of starting your own

Live sessions β weekly interactive workshops where participants can ask questions and discuss their progress.
Podcast β "MightyDuc.ks" indeed! It'll serve as an extension of the course, featuring interviews with successful independent business owners and thought leaders, discussing their

Accountability groups β small groups where participants can support each other in meeting their goals and overcoming challenges.
Celebrating wins β let's not forget to acknowledge the milestones reached by our fellow rebels, keeping everyone motivated and inspired.

@WearyTraveler, I think this guy is on to something π€

Intrigued! Watched the first couple minutes and read some comments, Iβll dive in fully later.
The one comment reflected my own: we should consider this from an international perspective, not solely America vs.
Not suggesting thatβs what this is suggested, just my personal initial thought.

He pretty much says the same thing. No matter where you are outside of China this is a growing concern. It's a good watch and the vibes are good. He also doesn't get into politics, which is pretty impressive. He even makes a reference at the end to Boots theory in justifying quality over cost savings. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.
