Quarantining can gently caress with your cum development, which disrupts your nofap energy. That's why you have to quarantine-cum-train.

It's a myth that sportsters need to refrain from cumming during training anyway, the opposite in fact, sex increases your T levels. With isolation it would make sense for the team to cum train each other.

Everything I know about entrepreneur culture indicates to me that the entrepreneur should be losing money on every dick emoji sold while maintaining a multi billion dollar valuation.

Why do entrepreneurs always fantasize about selling their company to Microsoft or some such? If you are such a business animal shouldn't you wanna keep owning your company that does something important and successful?

Selling your company turns the theoretical value the company has into actual, spendable money.

Venture capital-funded Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are generally in it to either make a lot of money or get a career in venture capital. An acquisition is pretty much the easiest way to make money, and it counts as a success when interviewing with VC firms later on.

Most entrepreneurs aren't in Silicon Valley and don't get money from venture capital, but the popular image is driven by that group.

See, this is what I thought when I took Business 101, back when I thought I wanted to be an accountant. Turns out that no, the goal of any business is to eventually sell the company to a larger company. It was right there in the first chapter of the textbook.

It's the nature of capitalism. The owning, ruling, class wants to buy out, or kill, any potential competition.

Until you get bought out, your company's valuation is an unrealized gain

It’s impossible for Jack Reacher to lose track of time.

I think there’s a bit in book in book 15 “Worth Dying For” where he is knocked unconscious and he knows exactly what time it is after he wakes up even tho he’s locked in a windowless basement. And in book 2 “Die Trying” he falls asleep and wakes up at an exact time without using an alarm clock to freak out one of the compound guys holding him hostage.

I mean to be fair "You can go to sleep whenever you want and wake up without an alarm" sounds like a loving superpower to me.

Jack Reacher also doesn't own anything, when his clothes get worn out he buys new ones. Every night he washes his one set of clothes in a hotel bathroom sink and puts them under his mattress to press them.

I've managed it before but I don't know how I did it and I don't trust my ability to do it with any consistency which would be sort of the whole point.

Psh, I can sleep wherever I want, I just have to stay awake long enough ahead of time to get sufficiently tired. Might take a few days if it's a really loud place.

And I wake up without an alarm clock all the time. Just don't expect me to do it before noon.
