The Life of Rabbits - Can Humans Survive

Murder, Abandoned Babies, Attacks on the Elderly - These were all features of rabbit life described in "The Doomsday Book - Can The World Survive" by sociologist Gordon Rattray Taylor. (1970)

Disturbed at the rapid growth in the world's population, Taylor set out to determine the effects of population increases, and because he could not use humans in his experiment he chose rabbits.

He built a rabbit paradise with everything a rabbit's heart could desire including an abundant food supply...

Problems with falling asleep.

Hey guys, anyone who's ever experienced that feeling? Like you're tired but you can't actually sleep? Laying in the bed for 30-90 minutes and you're awake?

I had a similar experience about two years ago(it was due to overtraining in the gym, when that happens your heart has a irregular heartbeat). Or maybe it's because I'm working too much prior to bed time, so my mind is still in the work zone? Or maybe it's my diet. Perhaps it's a combination of many factors. I really don't know. Maybe I...

Best way to get legal help for a startup?

The Start of a New Start

Hi everyone!
It has been around 4 years since I read the Unscripted book and I have been hooked to this mindset since. I was 18 years old. 1 month ago I turned 22. Reading my old posts was half cringing but also have proud of where I am today, and how much I have left to go. I am here to tell you my story and also to get advice from you guys, since although it has been a long time since I posted anything here, there is no where else I would like to come and get advice.

The Big Dating Apps Are Alienating Their Stakeholders

A guy on my Facebook feed was complaining how his Tinder Gold account of 4 years was banned. They gave him no reason and no appeal. Imagine paying hundreds of dollars to get a big middle finger...

About 15 other guys and even a few women chimed in with similar tales, and others talked about suddenly going from a steady stream of matches and likes to like 1 a week.

This caused me to be slightly curious and look at the reviews for Tinder on Apple's App store. Boy does it look like a treasure...

To DIY Content Marketing or Hire?

Hi Fastlaners! I've been growing my business for 5 years and haven't done much content marketing. I'm now starting to develop the content side of things. There are many business people who advise me to DIY content at least to get started, and their reason is that nobody would be able to write with the same level of energy as the owner. Or that they may not have that kind of in-depth knowledge and passion to create amazing content as much as the owner.

Travel bans in times of a pandemic don't work

Epidemilogist have know for years that travel bans and restrictions are not effective during times of a pandemic. This is because there's no way to prevent cases from spreading everywhere. Travel bans and restrictions can cause severe disuptions, particularly severe economic disruptions, Why now, after about two years of covid, is the media now reporting this vital fact? Perhaps they too are "fed up" with governments?

First online project - Website teaching music

Hi all, I'll recap using what I've already written in my intro thread :

My first project is based on music. Expressed as simply as possible : a website offering information on how to acquire the skillset in a way that is also entertaining.

If it gets some traction I'd monetize it with the promotion of the products I'm actually using or by having an e-com section on the website... That would be in quite some time down the line though.

Professional poker players are dispassionate about the outcome. They tuck losses and wins away as learnings as they figure out how to win the game.
