But sometimes the house is already uninhabitable and haunted by mysterious entities that seem to come from nowhere, and it makes sense in a situation like that to shine a light on dark corners… Quoting @ClipperRen werner herzog on why he will never go to therapy "i'd rather die than go to an analyst" "if you harshly light every last corner of a house the house will be uninhabitable it's like that with your soul" he just dropped the coldest take on therapy ive ever heard and somehow made it sound completely n… Related

Across the 241 SaaS companies I'm invested in, less than 5% had any notable social media audience when they started (or have built one since). As a data point, about 22% of them are doing 7 or 8-figures of ARR. If you want to do SaaS, build your network, not your audience. Quoting @Shpigford real talk: having a decent sized audience *helps* but is by absolutely zero means a guarantee that anything succeeds/works/makes money. have put out TONS of things that got all of about 3 people to actually sign up for.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
