I was just as surprised as you are—"surprise!" The last email I expected to receive in my inbox was from a pair of wealthy businessmen from San Diego, California. 'You sure it's me you're looking for? DanDays, D-a-n-d-a-y-s?
I ran this piece by a few friends outside this virtual circle before posting it on the blockchain. Still uncertain about it. Feedback said "absolutely" (plus some other stuff). The more I thought about it, the more I recognize if it wasn't for each of you who consume my content as well as this platform, the only one I release content on, I never would've been propositioned in the first place. Warning: A 1,083 word publication about "credit" is headed your way in a minute so I'll try to keep this introduction short.
I was approached by a company called TradelineSupply dot com (I'll link their website momentarily) about seven weeks ago. We went back and forth for a week. I researched their company and got a general idea of their business model. Summary—they offer people with terrible credit a loop hole called "authorized user" which instantly boosts their poor credit score (Fico score) as high as 100 points. I told them we wouldn't be a good fit, 'you have me mistaken for someone else.' Their opinion and beliefs pertaining to credit and Fico scores to which they designed their business model around and my opinion in respect to the same subject have zero in common.
I was commissioned to write about "credit." I was told they enjoy my personality and especially my "provocative humor." "Just bring your authenticity," they said. Blow a buncha smoke up my ass, they did. I didn't understand how my perception of "credit" would benefit them and, rather than promote boosting credit scores per se, I'd use the opportunity to educate their followers on the history of credit and how the shit's a spiraling out of control perversion.
Pura and I talked about it, I slept on a couple days, did some more research, 'I have nothing to lose.' I thought about it for a week, even reached out to @edprivat and @thebigsweed to get their opinion. I had no idea they were that supportive of me. 'Thanks fellas!' So I accepted the challenge.
Criteria: Minimum 1,000 words about "credit."
Use three images: Two copyright free and one of their business logo.
Due date: 7 days.
Commission: USD $500 (50 cents/word).
1,000 words in 7 days?? No problem
Before you get too excited, it's unlikely I'll see anything else from them. It went over about as smooth as I thought. Their business and myself, without altering my approach to "credit", I assumed would never work but five hundred bucks is five hundred bucks.
Nothing to lose. Following this email screenshot (the last I heard from them) is the article I submitted to TradelineSupply dot com only to be rejected two days later.
Go Fico Yourself❗️
Being the new virtual stranger on the block presents a host of challenges. Tough to jump up and down with both hands frantically grasping at nothing as though under intense shock therapy from behind the comfort of an illuminated device and expect to capture audience attention. That's an old trick anyway—everyone knows you can't teach old tricks to new dogs. Think BIGGER.
Some (((cræzy))) shit like scream from the top of the keyboard or drop two shits in the opening sentence of the second paragraph. Hashtag no hard feelings if you don't like the way I think.
'Have I got a deal for you!' Two for the price of one! Buy one get two free! Buy one at regular price - receive 1/2 off second purchase of equal or lesser value! Insert your favorite marketing pitch here: ___________. The one that grants me your trust otherwise this relationship won't work.
Like banking except the exact opposite
They have Trust incorporated into one of their financial models (bet you never looked that up). Don't worry, it's a one size fits all indoctrination system, we're strategically bred to accept shit at face value, watch: 'I have green shoe laces'.
See?
Truth is, you don't trust them. You may have yourself convinced you do based on acronyms such as FDIC and they don't trust you either. If they did, you wouldn't be required to sign over your wealth on a carbon copy deposit slip as evidence with a shitty ball point pen chained to the counter. But you do it anyway.
They're banking on it
I got a lot to say about the subject, credit, that's not a marketing pitch. Like anything else, these things take time. First there's an idea ("reserve"). Next is execution ("federal"). Lastly, acceptance ("notes").
"Consistency." Original brand name: Continental. Senior economics left that out. Time constraints prevent history of fiat due to classroom budgets and the science of checkbook balancing. Continental, fiat, money, coin, change, mula, dough, cash, c-notes, toilet paper—same consistency.
There's a lot to cover in this blog. Tough to address anything credit without at least introducing John Law—17th century Scottish card player turned first centralized banker of France. Eventually the wealthy ran him out, separated him from his family never to be seen again for their own safety before dying alone in England—only country offering refuge. Euro, GBP, USD, credit, he pioneered that stuff.
Sharing this corner of my mind without being transparent regarding my understanding of credit and the perverse use of it makes about as much sense as lathering flesh with a lotiony substance having never asked wtf's in it.
Unrealistic to dig into credit without mentioning another acronym: IRS. Government, gangsterest mob in the history of gangsters and mobs, them.
1099, W-4, oxymorons such as tax rebate and other household catch phrases didn't happen overnight, more like last week. A little over 200 years ago the IRS made their debut only after secretly defying the US Government who publicly accused a pair of wealthy businessmen of shady deals which eventually proved true leading to the now lawful way of existence.
I don't expect to change your mind, that isn't why I'm here, this is just an introduction. I gave that up a long time ago—miIinNnd changing. But there's something new today, something I don't have to explain in chronological order to prove I'm concerned about today's perverted interpretation of the word credit. Today there's an option to combat acronyms responsible for last week's algorithm.
Two can play that game
Algorithms are essentially an equation. I found a legal way to enhance that equation. Credit has developed into countless schemes today such as, but not limited to, coupons, gift cards, group plans, leasing, bundles, and many more we'll dissect in time. I'm inspired to share what I think because I found a company whose business model was founded on adjusting your algorithm—go Fico yourself!
TradelineSupply.com
Why not? It's not like there's someone down there at the local Fico office making appointments to update each consumers personality characteristics based on human behavior. There is no Fico office. Each credit bureau has their typical chain of command, sure, but there's no single individual on the other end of the line at an office that doesn't exist who's willing to adjust your Fico score. It's an algorithm. Spoiler alert—you're no longer holding the phone by yourself.
I'm not a computer programmed to monitor you relentlessly. I'm here to make you aware of a less known catch-phrase: Authorized User.
Every move we make is monitored, judged and recorded by the big three credit reporting bureaus—Equifax (hacked for 143 million consumer accounts less than 10 years ago), Transunion, and Experian.
Energy isn't operational at the apartment you just leased without running your credit. That leaves a mark—negative impact. The apartment leasing agency ran your credit and left another negative impact. You can't even purchase an automobile from a certified automobile dealer in the United States with Continentals (cash, fiat, paper money, etc) without first notifying the IRS the origin of those Federal Reserve Notes as well as running a credit check—another negative impact. Even a basic credit inquiry remains in your history folder for two years.
An authorized user is someone who doesn't physically possess the credit card, they're simply an authorized user of a pre-existing, respectable credit card account. Cash purchases, home leases, medical coverage, they're all negative impacts toward your Fico score and they continue building against you until finally falling off your credit some years later. By then you've been defeated by who knows how many credit inquiries who didn't respect your Fico score at the time.
Algorithm fine tuning as I like to call it is achievable in as little as a few weeks by becoming an authorized user on a pre existing account. The more you're authorized, the higher amount of authorizations you have, the better you look on paper—welcome! You're just around the corner from achieving a reputable Fico score controllable at your fingertips, congratulations!
Be wise, make sound decisions, practice using your new Fico score to the best of your ability. Use it to your advantage. In the event you do more harm to yourself than good, try harder next time and stop back by TradeLineSupply.com for another tune up.
Dang!
I'll make this article transparent on twitter and will reblog it.
I know how it feels. Since 2007 I have accepted to freelance for different individuals and companies and had my piece...of s33t X-periences. You are right..."we're strategically bred to accept shit at face value" You are right!
Thank you so much for all the info you have provided!
You have all my appreciation!
My pleasure Regenerette, thank you. I'm still so reluctant to share it. Last thing I want anyone to think is I'm anti American because I think anyone in debt is playing the wrong game.
I'm glad you liked this one and I appreciate the reblog. But if you're gonna say nice things like this ima have to insist you stop by more often.
I have a file with daily Hive users I am visiting, they are just 6. You are one of them. I don't always manage to come by, but when I do, I am reading the posts because all 6 of you are posting clean, next, genuine, and without #fear.
I am European...not trash, but gold.
We tend to have more #freedom here, somehow, at least we think we have it and focus on things differently. Observing things, depicting issues, analyzing risk, it just makes you awaken, intuitive, smart, fk-up by others and you've gained more experience and insight...there's nothing wrong in it. If any American want to downvote your post or has anything to say to you, I invite them all to talk to me first. Face me! Joking but I'm serious :)
Hugs!
Oh shit! 6?!? If this were MySpace I'd be in your top 8! I have this psychological imbalance where I crack jokes when I'm flattered when I really just need to practice: 'Thank you! If I ever disappoint, you better let me know.'
iheart Europe. If Pura had her way we'd be in Greece right now but there's something weird in the air preventing us from leaving.
Never been to Greece, but I found out there is an island for nudist people...will have to investigate and go one day!
You're on my list yes.
Years ago, I was banned/blocked from MySpace because of an unsatisfied client from Axia College, Pheonix...what a story. MySpace was full of nepotism.
Good. So I see you and your lady in Greece soon :) Hugs!
Ooooooh Fuck! Did I just read an ad? And @acidyo got your back and shit? What is going oooooooon?
Am I in an alternate reality? Is it because of the super hadron collider?
The beginning was fucking awesome, and I am so happy you got the gig, I am so happy you got some smoke blown up your own ass also, it just gonna boost your ego to use more complex wordings like "lathering flesh", and for the "it's unlikely I'll see anything else from them" part, that's not what this is all about, it's about you, it's about what you are learning, and most importantly, there is a shift. Now, YOU WORK IS WORTH MONEY... That's fucking essential...
I can't be too sure, but I think that's how Bukowski got a start...You have no idea what you just did, everyone will be soon jealous of your success and you will become the biggest fucking superfucking star/writer/rockstar/tatooed/blogger.
And regarding the picture, I still believe I can knock you out with one single punch, but you're looking good Mother Effin Vin Diesel look alike! 192 lbs biaaaaaatch!
Isn't 192 kinda heavy for a short dude? Doh!
Man I'll take your word for it on the knock out, you win. I've only been knocked unconscious once by a human—a Suicidal Tendancies concert. Dirt bikes.. No idea how many times I got knocked out while riding. But that one human.. dude I got 1.5 permanent fake teeth to show for it. Never did know what i got hit with but it was big enough to knock out some teeth, busted my sunglasses all in my face and put me to sleep. No thanks! I'll kill'em with my mouth. Only thing I really remember is a dude much smaller than me picking me "you ok?? You ok???"
This was a really nice comment, Ed. Thank you! When you said you'd get back to it I figured you'd run outta time and was kinda bummed if we're telling the truth. Thanks for making it back by and I'm glad I have your support sir. I need people like you around me for confidence.
And this is the second time you've used that Bukowski reference. You say "I have no idea" and I'm flattered by that. Thank you THIS much but you have no idea how much I'm flattered.
Have a great weekend dude! Give our love to the fam. Got anything particular planned? Manning the farm I'm sure but any extracurricular activities in the works?
Never a bad time when Acid stops by!
Now you are my hero for life. I thought your fake smile was out of Vanity, or a geographical trait (west coast people). Now that I've learnt you got your teeth fucking taken out during a fight, makes you reach the Legendary status.
Give the love to your fam too homie i'll catch ya on whatsapp. Yep, work on the farm, but first I am about to do some gym, then the farm stuffs. And smoke a blunt also...
Homie, I am happy you wrote about it! I will come back read it later ^^, I am sure I will see a nice upvote when I come back. Cheers!
Take your time, sir. It's a pretty long one.
All I can say is: they didn't do their homework. Also, if you didn't get paid and publish this on a public platform and they benefit, that raises all sorts of questions for me. For you, too, I am sure.
Good morning Fiona! Have I told you lately I sure do appreciate you keeping an eye on me? Well I do.
I didn't plan on them considering my opinion would benefit their business so it didn't hurt my feelings too much when they didn't accept it.
Had they not paid me though?? The whole thing would've read much different. 😉
I don't drop in as often as I'd like..
I am glad they paid. I'd also have taken the money. I've done commissions and because they've not liked my angle, not been paid...

!WINE
!BEER
for you
Nice to know you're still there Eii. 👍🏿
Just the other day I was going to drop you a line to see how you were making out with this new venture.
1st article completed, what a fun read and completely written with your flare.
After reading this post twice, I think that this article was rejected, am I correct?
If so, have they given you any feedback.
You read correctly. They were cool about it and yes, we hang onto each other's contact info.
I'm going through my responses right now and even accused (to myself) farm-mom of skimming. Reading yours like, "how did he miss the part where I said I was rejected?" Then I figured out the problem. It's not you it's me. I've been awake for about an hour Sweed and haven't baked the whole time!
I'm good now though! 😉
Thanks a lot for the reblog dude and thanks for supporting me when I reach out, you're a great virtual buddy to have. You know what? I was just talking to a dude last night, he was telling me about the singletracks in Upstate NY. Soon as he said it I was 'now I have another reason to stop by Upstate NY before it's too late.' I just finished editing my last ride yesterday morning. Not sure if I'll get it posted before the end of the weekend but it's comin. 👍🏿
They didn't say it exactly but I'm confident they'd consider keeping me on payroll if I wasn't focused on educating people about credit. If I was to write something like: 'Run up your credit, max out your credit cards and then go to TradelineSupply to fix your Fico score, hooray! Keep it up! Max'em out and keep returning to TradelineSupply for a fix, yay!!' I'd likely be on payroll.
Thank you, @thebigsweed!
That's why you're supposed to wake and bake my friend.
I've got a few more comments to catch up on and then I'll sit back and enjoy your jaunt through the woods.
Being rejected, not you, just your 1000 words is what can happen when we put ourselves out there and try something new.
You may both still have each other's info, but I don't see you not speaking from your heart when it comes to most anything.
Like you mentioned in the beginning it seemed like an odd fit.
Speaking of payroll, do I owe you anything for saying that?! Nicest thing you've said to me in a minute and you always say nice things. Tell you what, just answer me this:
Do those kinda compliments take decades to develop? Like, can I count on reaching that level of nice or do you think it's something you're born with and I don't stand a chance? You sure are cool.
These kinds of comments come from my wonderful mother smacking me on the back of my head whenever she even thought something was about to come out of my cakehole that wasn't nice. I don't know how many times she said. "if you have nothing nice to say, shut up", and this is truly how she lived her life.
As a parent, I have learned that you had better practice what you preach.
The good old days of corporal punishment. I'm not talking about abuse here, I'm just talking about a little quick reminder of how I was expected to behave.
Give a kid a smack on the head now and you've got DYFS at your door. You talk about a total sham, this gvt induced organization is the worst!!!!!
Like my mom, I know your mom has passed as well, but Pura could step in and smack away, she'd probably enjoy smacking you around, I know you've got to have a few hundred smacks all lined up.
Cool peeps hang with cool peeps, now I'm smacking both of us on our backs.
Funny. Pura doesn't have to exert any energy beyond that look and I shut up instantly. Dude that look is way deadlier than than even grandpas hand!!
I've been away for a while, but reading this reminds me how I miss reading your blog. "Provocative Humor"...I love it! There's no doubt that you got your own style, no wonder you got approached (I sucked to see you got rejected).
Your filter free opinion is exactly why I love reading all this 😁. Anyways, glad to see you and Pura are still doing great and sharing your adventure(s)!
Doooood! Long time no see. This is a pleasant surprise. Are you back?
Thanks a lot for keeping an eye on me. You're the very first person to resteem my content. However many years ago that was. Really boosted my confidence that day. I don't forget those things.
I think I unfollowed you even, you've been so silent. I'll fix that now, nice to hear from you again. What have you been up to? Don't be a stranger.
Rejected. Eh.. Their loss.
Haha, yeah I was completely out for like a year. Sh*t happens but I'm back now, rusty like hell but back 🙃 I'm really glad to see you are still posting (no more Pura's reciepes it seems), sometimes I just feel like lightning up and read up (they go well together). You should podcast a capsule every week...or maybe you have been since, been a while, I should check it out. Happy to hear from ya!!
I don't think you'd like what I said if I didn't light up repeatedly. 😉
Always a pleasure to hear from you. Yeah Pura's not into it anymore. Only reason she even did what she did is cuz I kept pressuring her to share recipes. She's just not into it. But I'm not goin anywhere!
Podcast. Dude I don't even know how to listen to one.
God damnit you had to bring up the IRS. Those motherfuckers owe my money!!!!
Cool article and super stoked for you! Like you said, 500 bucks is 500 bucks. It's my dream to do commissioned writing but I doubt that will ever happen haha. I have a genuine question. Was someone at the company a blockchain user? I'm wondering how did they find you?
Hey what's up man? I'm @dandays - The Luckiest Guy I Know. Nice to be met. Vermont is one of the few (maybe 10 total) states I haven't been to. Am i missing anything?
Keep releasing articles like this 10,000 hours and you'll be commissioned in no time.
Dude.. IRS. I promise I can make you feel better. They jumped in my pocket in '06 by mistake—true fucking story! Been in my pocket ever since. I couldn't leave the country until I squared away my 6 figure debt. And they're still in my pocket. 15 years dude. I get the same audit letter with the same Ogden, Utah return address.
Negative. No blockchainers. About three months ago, my buddy started #posh'ing my content for me. I'm using his account to promote this Hive content. That's where they found me.
Holy shit. Yeah you one-upped me on the IRS front. They decided something was wrong with my 2019 tax returns that I filed in March 2020, which meant I didn't receive either my returns nor any of the following 3 stimulus checks, nor any of the other support the rest of the country received during the pandemic. Minuscule compared to your situation, but for a working class 27 year old it caused some pretty huge complications; especially when literally the entire country(utility companies, landlords, etc) is operating on the assumption that all working class citizens received those. But yup! You did make me feel better.
I still don't quite understand what poshing is. I guess I should figure it out at some point. It seems to be rather beneficial.
Hmmmmm Vermont. I don't really know how to answer that. It is beautiful. We have really good cheese, and beer. I guess food in general. Any other positive aspects I can think of are strictly the things I've found personally; and not exactly the things you advertise. I've stayed here due to the communities I've found; which are all outcast communities you find in any part of the world. There's a decent punk music scene. And art scene. Everything's too expensive. The people are weird. There's a lot of fake progressiveness. The economic divide is invisible to visitors but terrifying to us on the lower side of things. I don't know. It's weird. If you are an outdoors-y type person; it's great to visit. Probably a longer answer than you expected eh? Hhaha it's been awhile since someone's asked me about Vermont.
Nice to meet you Dandays. I thought I was already following you yet I found that to be false. I must have you confused. Either way, I am now! And I wish you a sincere congratulations on the commission!
Too long? Wha'chew talkin bout Willis?!
Does it snow there? I'm a mountain bike addict, that's not an exaggeration. I'm always out there riding and filming. In fact, I just finished editing my last ride yesterday, I'll probably put it up after the weekend. You ride mountain bikes? How close are you to the coast? Is the coast real touristy?
Nah that sucks for sure you ain't getting any Monopoly money. Hopefully it gets straightened out. Least it's only a few years ago. Wanna hear some fucked up shit?
I swear it was a fuckin hook! 2006, went through my mail, one was a letter to me from the Feds... 'hmm.. never talked to these guys before??' I opened it. I never shoulda fucking opened it!! They said I owed them money from when I worked in Texas. I'm not making this up. Thing is, I engineered tower cranes for 22 years so I've been around this country but I've never worked in Texas. Been there, stayed there, never worked there.
So I called'em. Check this out. They pretty much said "you're right, whoops! But since we got you on the phone, prove all your write-off's the last 6 years." And it's been a shit show ever since. I've gone in their office begging to just be left alone. 'We're even. It's settled. I've adjusted my taxes, why are you still fucking with me?!?!?!?!?!?' I know exactly why dude flew his sesna into their building in Fresno awhile back.
What was that you were saying about longer answer?
Posh (Proof Of Sharing) is a robot that tracks Hive articles shared on Twitter. I might not be explaining that accurately but I've never done Twitter so all I know is it's something like that. @acidyo would be the guy to ask for specifics. Any opportunity to promote Hive, even if it's my homeboys Twitter account, I'm Gas pedal.
Thanks! I'll try not to disappoint.
okay I just read the last part, yeah @herbertholmes2, you can sign up here: https://poshtoken.fbslo.net/users (requires hivesigner and a tweet) and if you then share your posts (or other people's) with at least a # or $hive tag you can get curated + earn some poshtokens who'll become actual tokens at some point in the near future! (once we figure out a good usecase for them :p)
Oh boy, I have a Twitter, that I literally only use to troll political arguments. I guess maybe I'll have to reformat it hahaha. I'll check it out! I didn't know it was an acidyo project :)
Ya, no ninjamine and most hive stuff that still gets shared but if the users aren't registered gets burned daily so should make for a healthy distribution!
Oh yeah, it snows. That's the other 50% of the reason I live here. I work at a ski resort here(worked I guess, I just quit because fuck em) and live in the rural community that surrounds it. We have a ton of mountain bike trails. A couple of friends just kinda got me into it last year, and I'm starting to get more into it. Before moving out here I lived in a city here, with a high theft rate and was a bit of a nomad at times; so having a bike was a little unrealistic. In fact I did get one once while living there but it was only a couple weeks before someone cut the lock and took it.
Mmmm I'm not sure what the closest coast to Vermont is. I think there's a part of NH that touches it. Other than that it's Maine or Mass, and I don't travel too often so I'm not sure what the coastal scene is like. Once I get myself out of the work grind I hope to do more trips like that. I've traveled plenty- but usually just east to west in a car or bus. Not a lot of time for pure roaming; nor specific trips to know exactly how far the coast is.
I'd imagine the Mass coast is pretty touristy through and through. Not so much Maine.
That's fucked. I hate those fuckin people. It sucks to complain about not getting free money but when you live check to check and the rest of the country gets it to survive when we all get laid off; it becomes real fuckin shitty real fuckin fast.
I mean, I guess open the thing, but the call... man you shoulda hung up. That's fuckin ridiculous. They're really good at what they do. The way they put it to me(after the fun 6 hours wasted over 3 fuckin phone calls trying to get an actual human being on the line) was that there was something wrong with my tax returns. But they had shut down the department that can tell them what exactly is wrong with the returns due to short staffing due to COVID. What kind of horseshit lie is that!? How can they determine something's wrong with a return if they can't even tell what it is?
I'm convinced I just have some sort of "red mark" by our government's view. It's a little paranoid, sure, I'm well aware. But I have been arrested for protesting political things in the past and ever since anything "official" has been hell for me. Who knows.
If you ever fly a Sesna into an IRS building, just let me know first ;) I hope you IRS motherfuckers read that!
Red Mark. I'm well aware of it, I'm flagged. Dude I was single most my life, married now 5 years and have no mortgages or credit cards, even my cars are paid for. Had a car payment once when I was 18, learned that lesson in 6 months. My point is.. I do not fit the norm and they hate me!
We're supposed to have two children write-offs, a mortgage, a white fence, two car payments before we're 21. They hate me!
Vermont. I'd like to applaud my American public schooling for that, I totally frikkin meant Virginia!
Hahhahahahah I was confused by the snow and coastline questions. It's not the worst I've heard. I've been asked what state Vermont was in. I also once met someone who started telling a story to me and threw in a random first name; let's say "Henry". Eventually I asked who Henry was and they said "oh come on, you know Henry, he's from Vermont". No joke 😂
Yup! We're in the same boat. I realized by a young age the government hated me. I guess I made them hate me more, and I'm not sure if I regret any of it haha.
Good luck to you and yours. Lookin forward to read more from you! By the way, whereabouts do you live?
Hey nice to hear you got something else out of posh aside from some curation and some for now useless coins if you've signed up for poshtokens.
Noticed the tag but haven't gotten to that comment yet. Also it's pretty long. ;(
"Guilty!" Dude that was a loO0oong one.
Since I got you, did you ever see that one I put out where I explained my misunderstanding of posh?
lol not sure, I don't have as much time to read lately even if I'm voting them with the ocd accounts, too many posts but thankfully I have curators I trust very much!
Fair enough. Moral of the story, I was wrong. And thanks!
lol what was the TL;DR?
Well congratulations @dandays. Nice work, very happy you went forward with the article.
Wishing you continued success.
I just hope your head doesn't swell and you stop talking to us little guys. hehe
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I couldn't fit the doorway. Had to slick back my hair and let out a deep exhale. I don't remember the door frame being so small!
I'm way too entertained and appreciated here to leave. Not sure if I should admit this or not, but I feel a closer connection with some of you virtual strangers than I do physical relationships where I've known the person 20+ years.
💖
I don't want to miss this post as I'm a big fan of Vin Diesel 😃😂
Not really sure what you're saying, but I used to work online for a US financial company ( for a short time 😂), so I understand some words here like Fico, mortgage, W2, 1099 ..😃
Ah don't worry, nobody should know their terminology. Unfortunately I'm bred to believe it's normal.
Good morning! I'd be lying if I didn't admit how sexy that cover image is. 😉 Thanks for checking this one out, what's on the agenda in Vietnamese today?
Any big weekend plans?
😆😀 Nice..!! I like confident people :))
No agenda ^^ Every is a holiday :)
Big plans not only on weekend but every day also :) Hard to keep her inside the house when summer comes 😂
Smile !!! Have a great day there @dandays :))
Smoooooocch!!
Not at all surprised that you got commissioned to write outside Hive. I mean, have you tried reading what most people write these days? If you're trying to hire someone to write, just looking at applications can be enough to make a person lose all hope.
It's a shame that the company wasn't interested in taking an honest approach to marketing their services. Hell, I would have used the service, even though I don't need it, if I had seen them running some honest ads. Glad you got some spare dough, moolah, and cheddar out of it though. Even more glad to see you didn't run things through a filter for 'the man'.
Dude we're blessed to not need it, woulda been a totally different story if we were hungry. This guy right here, the one whose text vowels and consonants you're reading, The Luckiest Guy I Know.
Thanks for checkin out my articles, I see you passed through two of'em, that's cool! I'm glad you understand. I woulda promoted the shit outta their site, I guess I just wanted to explain how people in bad dhaoe got there. Can't blame'em, help'em, look at our direction.. $28 trilion. I don't even know how to write trilion! Win some lose some.
I've never seen you stop by on the weekends at Galen's place, ever been there?
Pleased to hear you didn't need the money, and I'll always check out your articles. I hope your luck continues!
I follow Galen and read his posts, even drop some comments, but haven't gotten into any of the weekend engagements. I already have more topics that I want to write about than I have time to write!
I'm talking about when he puts out a topic and everyone comments on it. Not an article. It's pretty fun, you might be surprised. I'm the guy who usually drops random one-liners on people I've never met.
Depends what leg you're standing on, ask any male dog.
(stuff like that)
I guess I didn't realize, I thought they were more like 'challenges' for blog topics. I'll try to make a point of taking a closer look this weekend.
See you there.
I wouldn't do it if it wasn't cool.
That main image...Shave your head and from behind you look like Vin Diesel. Lol.
P.s. I've had a few people contact me and offer to pay me to shut up. The money hasn't been good enough...Yet.
Only if you think he's a sexy mufuker from the back!
Wassup man? Thanks for checkin this one out. Yeah but are they doing it on discord #galenkp?
I was really close to attaching that you bring so much joy to the world post-it note again but figured this long explanation scores points next time I want an upvote. 😉
Lol...You have done enough Vin Diesel. Upvote incoming.
I just went through about 20 Vin Diesel gif's and.. I couldn't do it.
He really needs to up his gif game
Lol...He's apparently quite an intelligent chap, well-educated and all...Clearly his gif-skills are lagging though.
HIVE!D
!THANKYOU
And thank you for the reblog.
be proud of that piece Bruv!
High regards!
I really appreciate that, thank you!
Hot damn, you're big time now @dandays! $500 will make for a lot of smoke to blow 😎
Spoken like a man who knows my heart. I mean smokin like a man who knows my heart.
Weird, I've heard various cool things like this like getting rejected is celebratory or something. 🤔
Thanks Jethro! Gangsterest photographer you.
Lol it seemed like a nice pile of horse shit they were offering but these companies like to prey on people when doing this type of stuff. I’ve never heard of an authorized user but it sounds like it’s got to be something to get you trapped in. Their loss for the rejection though, they had some good shit on their hands I’m sure. Not the flavor for everyone but when they approach you, can’t hurt to throw whatever you can to see what sticks.
Wassup dude? Thanks for checkin this one out.
You know what? I didn't wanna share this cuz my mentality was a known rejection I guess. I went in thinking I'd lose, I lost, no big deal. but I'm reading messages like "their loss" and a couple people on my WhatsApp saying weird things like this is just the first one.
I'm trippin. It's strange. This site of ours is relatively small and I'm still in disbelief people enjoy what I have to say here. Took about this long to realize someone else did too. It's strange—gets deeper. I forget this is public sometimes, I don't know where I'm going with this other than I'm trippin out who's watching.
