  1. I don't get dictated to by strangers, or people who were raised in spiritual environments that de-emphasise individual will. Her tone was manipulative by way of using imprecise language that wasn't connected to the germane point at hand.
  2. It would get more views which in turn would get more traction. People would be inclined to buy Pringles via subway ads.
  3. This is false. People need to find out about a product, or be encouraged to buy it. Marketing is really the entire process of creating and selling a product, from idea conception to advertising and customer service. All products needs this.
  4. Fitness-based facebook groups. If you have an associated twitter account, use it to promote vids via links. At influencers, which can get in more views at least. Do this sparingly, as too many will annoy them and they may block your posts. Fitness-based message boards are also good. Put a link in the signature, or if they have a dedicated space for sharing content, use that.
  5. a basic business practice is to create an offering that meets people's expectations. I'm not being rude, but then I'd ask what you really expect from this. if a person was selling shoes from a normal home, which were bonafide and not shoddy or stolen, then it's not unreasonable if customers balk at this.
  6. what response? you actually believe that humans only have and should have one morose experience or feeling. Your pastors clearly aren't that learned, since they teach you nonsense.
  7. Many European countries are as prosperous as the USA. Moreover, why should cultures that have existed for centuries be all unified? The same then should apply to Asia or Africa. The USA was founded as one country and even then there always have been cultural differences between the states, leading to Civil War in one case.
  8. Politics is about appealing to people and selling a vision. This is true in all systems, and not just liberal democracies. China wouldn't have become communist had Mao not convinced the masses to support him in ousting Chiang. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, etc. all came to power via means of popular support. Populism is therefore natural. I don't know much about Indonesian politics, though I don't see what he's doing wrong. It's his job, if he wants to gain office, to appeal to people.
  9. this is odd advice. this depends strongly on which part of Europe one is referring to.
  10. Have some empathy with your customers. Don't assume they should "just accept" it.
  11. Trump is a narcissist. He's bullish, brash, and uncouth. and his followers will excuse any act he does, because they're so wedded to his message and ideology.
  12. Businesses exist to maximise revenues and profit. It's always been that way. If anything, things like trade unions, labour laws, etc. became established. Merchants always wanted as much money as possible. However, once joint stock companies were established, this basic desire for money intensified. It's always been this way.
  13. It's a consequence of higher living standards. However, more people means more envionmental pressures. Half of all land is used for agriculture worldwide. It's simplistic to say "we need more people!" Yes, we do to some extent but there is only a certain amount of space to accommodate said people.
  14. This is moot. Each EU country has some leeway in choosing its immigration rules, even though there are the single market and Schengen in place. Many migrants are low-skilled and are permitted to be there on that basis. They can be citizens after a given time in working there.
  15. It's subjective. there can be no best country, and it depends on one's individual needs and circumstances. Scandinavian countries are wealthy but very nanny state oriented. They also are overly accommodating to migrants and are very cold, especially in winter. Excess snow can be a turn-off for people.
  16. Good customer service is about meeting expectations. Essentially, it's what they expect from a given product or service. People buying groceries from a supermarket want fair prices, a wide selection, friendly staff, etc. People frequenting restaruants want clean tables, good food, good service, etc. I think in your case, it's unorthodox. I don't even mean to be denigrating, since it's not at all my intention. Perhaps people aren't accustomed to buying bikes from a private residence. Maybe this is why they think it's a scam.
  17. You cannot. That's purely on the domain name provider to produce. There is no legal grounds to sue a person or group for that, and nor should there be.
  18. It can be more expensive. But it depends more on the place. Perhaps in the USA, with more processed foods and different distribution channels, it's more expensive. But even then, if a person lives in a rural area, there surely are more markets selling local produce. I'd find it hard to believe that in an African or Asian country, where agriculture is more prevalent and food supply is often more localised, that it's difficult to be a vegan. I once lived in the Caribbean, and compared to Western Europe it was quite eye-opening to see the various different fruits and veg that grew wild. People often had mango trees in their back gardens, and there was more of a market-based culture selling local produce than in Western Europe. In an urban environment in the USA or Europe, where most people might just get food from the local supermarket or rely on getting items from overseas to cover periods when they're out of season, then yes, I suppose it can be more expensive. It obviously costs money to get strawberries from Kenya or mangos from India to the average Walmart, Tesco or Carrefour all year around.
  19. This assumes that it's merely a matter of choice or ambition. It can be, but more often than not there are a myriad of different factors involved.
  20. Spiritualists are funny. All over the place, hypocritical, holier than thou, and presumptuous. Smiling isn't the only way to demonstrate goodwill towards others. A person might smile at you to break down barriers since s/he has bad intent. It's not that black and white. There are other ways of life than your spiritualism. It's not THE path or perception. but then you assume everybody is morose all the time. no, people are not. we have by design and default a variety of emotions. An edgelord/emo-eque state is just something you concocted and want to project to all others.
  21. Society may not work for some today. Did it work for those in the past? Not so much.
  22. OK, I'll leave you to "win" and be the "righteous" party without proving such. I stand by my points, that you're inflecting subjective thoughts with reality and I don't agree with you. I have no obligation to do as such, nor does any human to any other human in principle. Healthy people don't cry false victim, nor think they're always right.
  23. Putin is an intelligent fellow, no doubt. However, i don't think much else could have been expected. Carlson was smart not to heavily push him in own turf/back yard. Putin won't ever relent from his position, as Russia being the victim in this entire situation. His point on AI was well-founded. The potential for misuse is high and there might need to be some global regulations on such.
  24. It's also innate in life to seek survival. Just because all known species have gone extinct it does't mean that we cannot face off existential threats.
  25. I don't see what i've done wrong here. I guess merely using something in the proper context inflames people with inner subjective workings. Don't go to a supermarket and harass people who buy soy milk, cos you think soy milk is cringe or woke or namby-pamby. looool.
