Just recently watched Under Paris
And I gotta say….This is one of the movies that actually made me cry while hating a lot of characters because of their insensitive unplanned decisions…For great and obvious example…Freaking Mika and the overly selfish mayor
#I hated and loved this movie#The amount of times this whole catastrophic end of Paris could have been avoided if Mika would have realized that ‘Beacon 7’ or Lilith#should have been better off dead#And how she was convinced that she could tame it knowing that it killed two people already without any sign that they threatened it#And the Mayor was a selfish narcissistic prick of I say do so myself#She was clearly not sympathetic enough to feel remorse after hearing the 12 DEATHS in the catacombs like bruh#You weren’t even trying#your face clearly stated you only care about the success of the Paris triathlon and how famous your going to be#this show is so good#that it made me cry for at least a good 30 minutes while ‘the ever so unstable shark’ Lilith kills the swimmers and police offers#And the fact it could reproduce so fast was outrageous like come on#That thing is too overpowered#Just nuke Paris and call it a day#And RIP to Paris and the people in it#At least Sophia and Adel lived in the tragedy

Why Are We So In Love With Cats
Cats and also their human followers are a misunderstood lot. This I discovered when I composed "Why cats never ever became male's buddy" discussing how the recently mapped cat genome reveals that, compared with canines, residence cats are only partially tamed. The reaction on Quartz's Facebook page was legendary. The article obtained almost 1,700 remarks more than any other post on Quartz's Facebook page, ever. What triggered this outpouring? I referenced the feline stereotype frequently traded among dog people that cats are passive-aggressive and also psychologically unavailable.
On the face of it, pet people appear to be less touchy. Our short article in 2014 on pets' genetic wildness (" Quit coddling your pet dog he's 99.9% wolf") was widely read, but it sparked minimal feedback from pet dog people in any way as well as certainly no outrage.
So why do pet cat individuals come off as so darned delicate? Possibly since they are. Research studies weightgal.com do without a doubt show feline individuals often tending towards higher nervousness as well as moodiness than the pro-canine team. Current research likewise recommends animal owners with even more aberrant characteristics are additionally inclined to feel more anxiety regarding their animals' sensations towards them. Whether consciously or otherwise, both media as well as society appear to love to massage this insecurity in.
Yet many in the pro-cat camp suggest that the bond they show to their felines transcends to what pet dog individuals experience with their pets:
Sounds quite bitter, possibly. But on this point, at the very least, the pet cat people are not as crazy as the stereotype maintains. Their animal of selection has actually greatly stood up to the human meddling that has actually in some way hewn chihuahuas as well as whippets from the genetics of wolves indicating: cats simply aren't programmed to please individuals the way pets are. And also this might explain why feline people seem to have an extremely deep bond with their animals.
Meowing martyrs
This disliking on felines thing it isn't all that original. The pomposity's real leader was Pope Gregory IX, who declared in 1233 that during Satanic masses, the Devil took the form of a black pet cat.
Throughout Europe edumattress.com , the Catholic Church tortured as well as carried out pet cat proprietors for witchery. Considering that having pet cats could obtain you burned at the stake, individuals started slaughtering residential felines a fad worsened by the false impression that pet cats triggered the Black Fatality
, which started ruining the continent in the mid-1300s. Europe's entire domestic feline population was really nearly erased, and also lots of 10s of countless "witches" were burned at the stake over the following 400 years.
It wasn't simply Catholics who had it in for felines, though; Queen Elizabeth I's crowning celebrations consisted of melting a cat active (so joyful!). To today, cats withstand torture as well as persecution that just doesn't seem to take place to dogs. For instance, individuals could claim this concerning certain pet dog types pit bulls or poodles, state yet not about pets as a whole:
Canines, the people-pleasers
Against that backdrop, it's not actually all that surprising that cat individuals may be tired of combating the dominating knowledge that pet dogs are a lot more charitable of spirit than felines. And also, scientifically speaking, this bias is unfair. Recall that canine genetics have been shuffled around for centuries to suit human requirements. While people throughout the ages were melting and also brutalizing cats, pet dogs were by their sides bring ducks, going after foxes, and also eliminating Attila the Hun's enemies, among others of the abilities they were reproduced for.
This brings us back to the development issue. Once again, house felines are mainly an item of all-natural, as well as not man-made, choice they trained themselves, you could say.
Dogs, not so much. Starting between 11,000 and also 16,000 years earlier, when pet dogs were first trained from old wolves, they have actually been bred to please individuals. The convenience with which people can reproduce them likewise suggests that human beings have selected for genes that make pet dogs extra appealing to them as well as not just for skills, however likewise for aesthetics as well as individuality avantsuccess.com .
That lack of enigma might have something to do with why Hollywood, the media as well as the basic population is extra likely to relate to dogs than pet cats, notes Mikel Delgado, a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley as well as an expert cat actions specialist.
" I assume part of the [media prejudice] is because pet cats are less transparent to us they show up to have less facial expression," she states. Canines, comparative, are thought to act on their whims as well as conveniently mirror what appear to human beings to be familiar feelings. Yet pets have probably been reproduced for these traits, states Delgado. "They were fed since they can wrinkle their eyebrows, and also we bred them additionally to mirror our own expressions," she states.
The feline aura
Extra intriguing, however, is what turned up in the comments section at the end of Delgado and also Reevy's survey, in which pet dog owners of both types might mention on their pet of selection. Cat people rhapsodized regarding their cat's uniqueness, composing points like "my feline is the smartest." Canine proprietors, on the other hand, often tended either to celebrate their animal's obedience or make general statements concerning all pet dogs (e.g. "I love pets" or "pets are sweet!"), states Delgado.
The Facebook remark string lends even more proof to the pet cat part of that phenomenon. Dolly, Boris, Buddi, Cuddles, Snowy, Salem, Isis, George Hubert, and Noodle are amongst hundreds of other felines applauded in occasionally TMI-levels of information.
This makes good sense. Pet cats' freedom, absence of openness, and also self-sufficiency implies when individuals ultimately reach harmony with their kitty, they have actually overcome massive all-natural obstacles to develop a bond of mutual respect.
Why do we enjoy cats so much?
We're all cat lovers. That's why we're right here. But have you ever quit to wonder why we locate felines so amazing loveable?
With Valentine's Day just nearby, it seemed the perfect time to explore our attraction with our self-domesticated feline pals.
A few of that innate love could be instinct, based upon felines' one-of-a-kind facial functions manjacompany.com .
Konrad Loren z, that likewise uncovered the concept of inscribing, thought that human beings are drawn to baby-like features, such as large eyes. Because cats have reasonably big eyes symmetrical to their faces, also when grown, we feel an instinctual protectiveness over them.
The response can also depend on just how felines domesticated themselves. Unlike pets, that were bred from wild wolves to be searching tools as well as family members friends, pet cats most likely complied with human beings because that's where the victim was. Throughout background, any place people went, vermin followed, providing an enough food resource. Fast forward hundreds of years and cats have identified that humans will certainly provide sanctuary, safety and security, and food, without all the initiative.
That's one of the reasons it's so vital to have fun with your cat. He has strong hunting reactions that require exercising. Even if he seems material to sleep throughout the day, he actually needs an opportunity to show off his skill at pouncing, chasing, and scratching. Even simply a few mins a day with a wand plaything, like our Wiggly Stick can maintain kitty feeling frisky and also engaged.
There's likewise proof felines see us as part of their "litter," utilizing vocative sounds like mews and also chittering to attract our interest a habits that's just utilized between mommy pet cats as well as their kitties in the wild. Recognizing your cat sees you as an equal is certainly reason to dole out the love.
One more piece of the problem might lie in a pet cat's unique purrs, which they make use of to calm themselves when they're worried or to share satisfaction. Proof even reveals that a cat's purr can heal both pet cats and also humans alike. As well as there's absolutely nothing like a pleased purring cat in your lap.
It's likewise likely that several of us find pet cats to be a challenge, and that's why we discover them so appealing. Unlike pets, pet cats typically just reveal affection on their terms. So when they do finally show how much they like and depend upon us, it seems that a lot more satisfying.
If you're a meme lover, you could adore cats due to the fact that they are "made of liquid" or since "if I fits, I sits" seems to be their concept. Felines can fit in almost any container. In tight spaces, whiskers help them figure out if the area allows sufficient for their body. Yet likewise, pet cats love a basic cardboard box or a play tunnel like our very own Hide and also Sneak.
In all honesty, though, it's most likely the toe beans. Have you seen the tiny cute pads on the bottoms of their feet? Exactly how can you not enjoy an animal with such lovable toes?

FF.net
In which our heroes are having a crumby day, it’s all some Dude’s fault, and the fox stings the bee.
“Probably not good!?”
Queen Bee gaped at Volpina, and the other girl shifted awkwardly.
“Well, I mean�� It might not be as bad as it looks.”
Queen Bee looked back down at the very bad looking situation in the park. Chat Noir and Ladybug hadn’t been exactly successful in their rescue attempt. In fact, all of the hostages were still hostages, and both of the heroes were struggling to get free from a moderately sized army of possessed pastries, while more of the evil minions began erecting two more sacrificial pretzel stick posts for them. Oddly enough, there also seemed to be a lot more of the evil edibles then there had been before.
Queen Bee looked back at her partner as if to ask, ‘how?’
“It’s Ladybug!” Volpina insisted. “Ladybug always has a plan. Besides, if they were in any real trouble she’d be using her Lucky Charm right about now.”
“Lucky Chmmhmm!”
They looked back down to see a giant sugar cookie stuffing a wad of wax paper into Ladybug’s mouth to gag her, as the rest of the minions held her down and tossed away her yoyo.
“I’m failing to see the part where we’re not all doomed,” Queen Bee said flatly.
Volpina grabbed at her own face and groaned.
“I don’t get it! How could this have happened? They were wiping the floor with those things earlier, they should be nothing but crumbs by now! How can they be winning?”
“Look!”
Queen Bee grabbed her arm and pointed down to the broken remains of a gingerbread man Ladybug had just managed to kick off and sent flying into the trunk of a tree. The gingerbread man had shattered into a dozen pieces, but it didn’t stay that way for long. The pieces began to wriggle and hop their way back together like a squirming jigsaw puzzle. When the last crumb had climbed back into place, the gingerbread man sprang to life again, picked up its’ rubber spatula, and charged back into the brawl without a moment’s hesitation.
“Oh, that’s just not fair!”
Volpina was beside herself with outrage, while Queen Bee just sighed and shook her head.
“That’s why they picked two new superheroes,” she said, gesturing at another pastry as it pulled itself together after being smashed. “The Akumas are getting stronger. And smarter! The minions have nearly captured the dynamic duo, but there’s still no sign of where the actual Akuma is! This is worse than that ‘Puppeteer’ Akuma I read about.”
“Don’t remind me,” Volpina mumbled under her breath. “But you’re right. And we have another problem, have you noticed there are more of them too? Are they regenerating and reproducing?”
“I don’t know, but does it matter right now? Ladybug and Chat Noir are way out numbered either way, I can’t even get off this roof by myself, and you�� you…” Queen Bee trailed off, her eyes looking from Volpina to her flute.
Volpina arched an eyebrow.
“…me?”
“You… Wonderful superhero you!” Queen Bee’s face lit up and she beamed at Volpina. “You’re a one-woman army! All you have to do is make a bunch of Ladybugs and Chat Noirs to even the odds!”
Volpina frowned.
“Sorry, but I only know how to make illusions right now.”
She put her flute to her lips and blew a quick tune and created a perfect copy of Ladybug standing next to them, smiling, but still as a statue.
“They look real, and they even sound real, but,”
She waved her staff through the double and it evaporated into shimmering smoke.
“If they touch anything solid the illusion is broken and they disappear. Even pigeons will break them. Especially pigeons actually,” she growled, tightening her grip on her staff and baring her teeth.
Queen Bee guessed there was an amusing story behind that, but it would have to wait.
“Okay, so… you can make illusions. You said that was all you can do now. Do you have other powers?”
“Yeah, but Ladybug won’t let Trixx tell me! She said I’m not ready for my superpower yet! She only let her teach me how to foxwalk yesterday!”
“Foxwalk? Okay, well, could that power help?” Queen Bee asked, glancing back down at the park below.
Volpina’s head drooped miserably.
“Probably not, it just helps me get around…”
Queen Bee frowned. She cupped Volpina’s face and tilted it up to look at her.
“Focus Foxy. They’ve almost got Chat Noir tied up and they’ll have Ladybug soon too. Now think. Your illusions can’t touch anything right? So we’ll… we’ll scare them! We’ll make an illusion that will send them into a panic so Ladybug can get free!”
Volpina’s face lit up and she put her hands over Queen Bee’s.
“That’s it! Only… what scare’s a giant evil cookie?”
They thought together for a moment until the answer struck them both at the same time.
“MILK!”
They hurried over the edge and skidded to a halt.
“Okay, there’s a bunch of stuff in the way, but it’s stationary so I should be able to make the illusion go around everything without breaking. Provided there are no pigeons hiding anywhere…”
As Volpina began quickly judging distances and terrain, Queen Bee started nearly dancing with nervousness as she watched a demented cupcake tightened the ropes (of thick fruit leather?) holding Chat Noir’s arms to the posts.
“Hurry uuuuup,” she whined, but Volpina didn’t seem to hear her.
“Okay, visualize the illusion. See it in your mind,” Volpina said to herself. “The milk comes out of the buildings, through the gate, around the fountain, and… Crap! It’s not gonna work!”
“What? Why not?”
Queen Bee tore her gaze away from Chat Noir, who was now attempting to eat the ropes holding him, to look at Volpina as she groaned and pointed at the farthest group of evil pastries with her flute.
“That’s why not. As soon as my illusion hits even one of those stupid éclair dog things, the whole thing will go poof! The ones nearest to Ladybug and Chat will hardly see it!”
Queen Bee put her hand gently over Volpina’s and coaxed her to point her flute at the park again.
“Make the wave go up,” she said, using the flute to draw an imaginary wave. “Think of it like a tsunami. Have the milk flood in, and then form a giant wall that will crash down over them. That ought to get their attention.”
The image took shape in Volpina’s mind and she smiled.
“Clever girl.”
Queen Bee smiled and stepped back so Volpina could play. A few seconds later Volpina cast the orb of energy across the park again.
“Sure hope this works,” Volpina said as the shining orb hit one of the buildings and vanished.
“It will,” Queen Bee assured her, looking down as Ladybug was hoisted into the air by a group of giant sugar cookies and carried toward the waiting pillars.
‘It has to.’
Suddenly there was a loud rumbling and the sound of breaking glass as a massive torrent of milk burst out from every window of every building on the far end of the park. Gallons upon gallons of the stuff poured out and began flooding the park. It crashed around the fountain and merry-go-round at terrific speed until it came to a stop about ten feet away from the nearest minion. Then it began to grow, stretching taller and taller until it formed a massive rolling white wave of milk that towered over the nearby buildings.
“No birds, no birds, no birds, no birds,” Volpina kept chanting, watching as the pure white wave grew to its’ full height.
Queen Bee took her hand and squeezed it supportively, and forced herself to look down at the crowd below. Everyone, the minions, the hostages, even Ladybug and Chat Noir were staring up at the great white tsunami that had suddenly appeared smack dab in the middle of Palace De Vogses. Then there was a terrific roar of rushing water (which hopefully sounded the same as rushing milk) and the wave began to slowly crash down over them all.
If it was panic they wanted, it was panic they got. Cupcakes crashed into one another in a mess of frosting, sugar cookies were trampled by stampeding macaroons, four legged éclairs with mouths foaming with cream yelped and barreled over everything in their path, and the gingerbread men really did run run run as fast as they could, but were beaten to the park exit by a pack of croissants waiving a white flag.
Amidst the total chaos, Ladybug was released by her captors as they ran for their lives, and she raced over to Chat Noir to untie him. No sooner had she untied one of the partially gnawed through ropes, then she looked up and pulled them over to the pretzel stick pole he was still tied to, and clung tightly to him. Chat Noir reached around her to grab the pole with his free hand, and tried to shelter her with his body as they both braced themselves for the crashing wave.
It popped harmlessly as soon as it touched a surprised looking pigeon that had perched atop one of the poles.
Wisps of fleeting orange smoke was all that washed over them all as the pastries continued to panic, and Chat and Ladybug looked around in confusion. Then Chat Noir understood and looked up to the roof tops where Volpina and Queen Bee were both jumping and cheering at them. Ladybug followed his gaze and realized what had happened. They both gave them a thumbs up, and quickly undid the ropes holding Chat’s other hand. Once he was free they rushed to recover their weapons before the minions were able to regroup.
Up on the roof, Queen Bee and Volpina continued to cheer and hop around in victory.
“It worked! It worked!” Queen Bee cheered. She laughed as Volpina lifted her up and spun her around. “Did you see how those little troglodytes fell over each other!”
“If only I had my camera!” Volpina said wistfully, as she set Queen Bee down and smiled at her. “That would have made a killer video!”
“You sound like a blogger,” Queen Bee laughed, stepping away. She staggered a little, dizzy from the spinning. “Whoa!” She fell on her rear and burst out laughing again.
She reached up a hand to Volpina.
“What was I saying?”
“Uh, something about troggles?” Volpina said quickly, pulling Queen Bee back to her feet.
Queen Bee just giggled some more and shook her head.
“Whatever, let’s just see how Ladybug and Chat Noir are… Oh no! You have got to be kidding me!”
Volpina looked down and saw that Ladybug and Chat Noir’s rescue attempt had already gone awry again! They had succeeded in recovering their weapons, but while plenty of minions were either still running out of the park in panic or trampled to crumbs, a decent amount of them had already either reformed or just returned to the fight. The brawl was becoming so fierce again that neither of the heroes could stop long enough to get to the other and escape, and more of the evil edibles were joining back in by the second.
“It’s like there’s just no end to them!” Volpina yelled. “It doesn’t matter how many we smash or scare off, there’s always more of them!”
“This is insane,” Queen Bee said, watching as another sugar cookie reformed itself. “This is just in-sane! We could fight these things for an hour and they’re just be three times as many!”
“And where is the Akuma? And what does it want?” Volpina asked. “All its’ done so far is tie up a bunch of news people in a park!”
“They’re not all news crew,” Queen Bee said, pointing at the particularly well-dressed man she had noticed earlier. “That guy in the middle, in the custom tailored Cashmere suit from last year’s Agreste Autumn Line. I swear I’ve seen him before somewhere.
Volpina raised an eyebrow at how specifically Queen Bee had identified the man’s clothes from over two hundred feet away, but looked at the man she pointed out. She sneered in disgust when she recognized him.
“That cockroach in men’s clothing is ‘Dude Fury.”
Queen Bee snapped her fingers.
“That’s right, he’s on that show on the Chow network, um, “Restaurants, Snack Shops, and Eateries.” He did an episode about the restaurant at Le Grand Paris last week.”
“He scammed Le Grand Paris last week you mean,” Volpina said through clenched teeth. “He threatened to call the head chef’s food ‘inedible,’ when it was really the best thing to have ever touched his rotten tongue, unless the owner, our mayor, gave him a big bribe, which he took out of the head chef’s pay check!”
“Yeah, well… that’s politics for you.” Queen Bee said, looking down at Mr. Fury.
‘I guess that also explains why Alya looked like she wanted to punch me in the face more than usual last week. Thanks again, Dad.’
“It’s bullshit!” Volpina yelled back, wringing her staff as if imagining it was Dude Fury’s neck.
She saw the questioning look Queen Bee was giving her and sighed.
“People like that just… really get to me. You know? They’re scumbags, and they get paid to be scumbags. It’s not right!”
“Yeah… scumbags…” Queen Bee said, suddenly feeling very small.
There was nothing to argue about that statement, and she didn’t even want to argue it. Volpina was completely right, but still, how would she react if she knew her new partner was one of those scumbags she seemed to hate so much. It was a troubling thought, but Queen Bee reminded herself that she wasn’t that person at the moment, and they had much more pressing matters to deal with. She shook her head and pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind.
“Let’s get back to the Akuma. We’ve got a tied-up news crew, a crooked food critic tied to some posts by a never ending army of baked bads, and they’re all in Palace De Vogses for some reason.”
Volpina scoffed.
“Well I bet I know what the Akuma wants if he is involved,” Volpina said, not taking her eyes off Fury. “I’d bet my last dollar that that greasy slime ball threatened someone else. Someone who couldn’t pay his blackmail money so he ruined their business on national television. Their life is destroyed, Hawkmoth sniffs out their bad feelings, and bam. Instant Akuma.”
“Sounds pretty likely to me,” Queen Bee agreed. “But who did he ruin? It would have to be someone who couldn’t afford to meet his price, right?”
“Or someone who’s to honorable to stoop to his level,” Volpina added.
‘So a commoner or an idiot.’ Queen Bee reasoned to herself.
“Okay, so it’s probably a family owned business,” Queen Bee said, “and given the theme of the minion’s it’s probably a bakery or a…”
She froze as she realized what she was describing. Volpina seemed to have caught on too, and looked even more unhappy with the prospect than she was.
“…Or a confectionary,” Volpina finished, her voice filled with dread.
“And if their all gathered here, then it’s probably somewhere close by…”
“Maybe even right next door…”
Both of them turned towards “Tom & Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie”
“Oh no...”
The horror in Volpina’s voice was matched only by the pure indifference of Queen Bee’s expression. Of course the Akuma was holed up in her most least favorite place in all of Paris. Why wouldn’t it? Today was officially kick-Chloe-while-she-was-down-day, and what better cherry on top then to make her (at least partially) responsible for helping save a Dupain-Cheng. Oh well, at least she didn’t have to go in there.
“We have to go in there,” Volpina said.
Queen Bee whipped around to stare at her.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“No, listen! The Akuma’s got to be in there, right? Ladybug and Chat Noir have all his minion’s distracted down in the park. There’s a rooftop entrance to the building, we can sneak in through there, find the Akuma, steal whatever it’s hiding in, and run it out to Ladybug so she can de-evilize it. It’ll be perfect.”
Volpina smiled awkwardly in an attempt to sell the idea, but Queen Bee just gaped at her.
“Volpina, we are completely outclassed here! You can only use a few of your powers, and I can’t use mine at all! Neither of us have been in a fight yet, and you want to go into a supervillain’s lair to steal his most treasured possession so we can take it to Ladybug, who is in the middle of a bake-room blitz by the way, so you can impress her?” She put her hands to her face and took a deep breath and Volpina bit her lip. “Look, I know you want to prove yourself, but this is suicide!”
“It’s not about that…”
Volpina looked over the edge at Ladybug, who was wrestling with one of the foaming éclairs as it tried to attack her. …in whatever way a giant soft fluffy pastry with no teeth or claws could attack a person.
“Look I can’t explain why, but nobody else should go in there. Or even know who the Akuma is if we can help it. You just have to trust me on this, okay?”
She tore her eyes away from the cream filled carnage below, and looked down at the miraculous around her neck.
“I always wanted to be a superhero. Fight the bad guys, save the day, the whole shebang. But now that I’ve got it, I want to protect my friends and family most of all. And that’s why I have to go into that bakery before Ladybug figures out who the Akuma is. She gave me this chance. I have to try to do right by her, and myself.”
She sighed and let go of the fox tail necklace.
“But you’re right. We are underpowered, you especially. So you stay here and wait for me, while I go in and-“
“The hell I am!”
Volpina was taken aback by the sudden outburst. Queen Bee grabbed her hands and looked her dead in the eye with that same determination she had shown earlier.
“I may not be very useful right now, but I’ll wear orange polka dots on blue and green stripes before I let you go in there alone! We’re partners, and if you say we need to go in there, then we’re going in there!
…just, let’s be very very careful about it? Please?” She added, wilting a little.
Volpina couldn’t decide if she wanted to laugh in amusement or cry in appreciation, so she settled for just hugging the poor girl instead. Queen Bee seemed to find this acceptable, and sank into the embrace happily.
“You know, hugs are good,” she commented, lazily playing with Volpina’s ponytail.
Volpina chuckled.
“Hugs are awesome!”
She gave Queen Bee another squeeze before letting go. Queen Bee giggled, feeling slightly tipsy from physical contact and the wonderful scent of Cinnamon and that other lovely smell still filling her nose.
“Careful now,” Queen Bee said, “Keep hugging a gay girl like that and she might start getting ideas.”
She clapped a hand to her mouth and her face went pure scarlet under her mask as soon as she said it. Volpina just laughed and scooped her up in her arms bridal style before Queen Bee could panic and fall off the building again.
“You’re the one who ought to be careful,” she said, nearly purring into Queen Bee’s ear. “Keep flirting with a bi girl like that, and she might start getting ideas.”
Queen Bee felt she could die happy after hearing those words.
Volpina meanwhile had to laugh again at the dazed and goofy smile Queen Bee was wearing. Then the little voice of her conscience, who sounded remarkably like Ladybug, started whispering in her ear that she had just made a horrible mistake.
“You know, I think I’d be okay with you getting those ideas,” Queen Bee flirted back, cuddling closer in her arms.
Volpina’s smiled died as she realized Queen Bee was being completely sincere. She gulped and she wondered if she may have laid it on a little too thick, before turning to look away as the whispering in her ear became very angry screaming.
Ladybug would most definitely not be happy with her if she found out she had been flirting with her knew “professional” partner. She hadn’t really meant it of course, but it looked like Queen Bee hadn’t quite caught on to that little detail. Volpina nervously weighed her options and decided it was probably better to just rip it off like a Band-Aid before things went any farther.
“Uhm… Seriously though, Queen Bee?”
“Hmm?”
Volpina turned back to face her partner, and met the biggest, happiest, most affectionate looking baby doll blue eyes she had ever seen, and realized that she was a truly horrible person for what she was about to do.
“Uhm… I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have led you on like that.”
She felt a jagged knife plunge into her heart and twist, as she watched the joy drain out of Queen Bee’s face like air from a leaky balloon.
“…oh, you mean you’re not actually…?”
“Oh no, I am! Bi, I mean. Yeah totally. Have been since the day I was born.”
Hope began to return to Queen Bee’s face.
“It’s just, you’re not really my… type.”
And there it went. Yep. She was going to hell for this, and she deserved it.
“I’m really sorry,” Volpina added quickly. “It’s nothing against you! You are super cute, like the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen! It’s just… I’m more into-“
“It’s fine,” Queen Bee said softly, not looking at her. “It’s fine, really. It’s just not my day apparently.”
Volpina bit her lip and felt the guilt twisting the knife a little more.
“…I’m sorry. That was a really mean thing to do, wasn’t it?”
“Ya think?”
“…I wasn’t thinking. You were just so darn cute and I just-“
Queen Bee put a finger over Volpina’s lips to shut her up, but still refused to look at her.
“Stop. I get it. You’re not interested, and you’re sorry. Let’s just move on now.”
Volpina stood there still holding the slim girl in her arms, feeling like she was holding an angry wasp waiting to sting.
“…Do you… want me to put you down and leave you here now?”
Queen Bee turned her head slightly as if not sure she had heard correctly.
“I said, do you want me to put you-“
She was interrupted by Queen Bee turning fully around to face her, and to her surprise, wrapping her arms around her neck.
“What did I just say about you not going into that bakery alone?” she growled.
Volpina gulped.
“Uhm… that even though I’m a terrible human being, you’re still my partner and you’re such a beautiful and amazing person you’re still going to come and help me?”
“And don’t you forget it,” Queen Bee huffed, and adjusted herself to sit more comfortably in Volpina’s arms.
Volpina let out a sigh of relief and Queen Bee flicked her on the nose.
“Ow!”
“Don’t think I’ve forgiven you,” she said with a devilish smile. “That was a very cruel thing you did, breaking a girl’s heart like that. And I am an expert on very cruel things...”
She let the sentence trail off with a promise of unspeakable suffering hanging in the air between them.
“N-noted,” Volpina squeaked.
Queen Bee’s smile flashed to a pleasantly cheery one at her partner’s tremble of fear.
“Good.”
Volpina blinked. One thing was for sure, this girl was downright scary when you were on her bad side.
Then Queen Bee’s smile began to fade away all together, and left her looking slightly wistful and somewhat forlorn.
“Actually, I am glad you told me you weren’t interested now, rather than waiting for me to get a full on crush on you first. Better than me chasing after you in some one sided romance like some other superhero duos I could mention.”
“My thoughts exactly,” Volpina echoed.
She was just about to set off across the roofs for the bakery when a thought struck her.
“You know what, I’m going to make it up to you.”
“Oh?” Queen Bee arched an eyebrow.
“Yeah! I promise to find you the best girlfriend in all of Paris!”
Queen Bee blinked at her in surprise for a moment, then smiled sweetly.
“You know, I think I’m going to hold you to that promise,” she said, booping Volpina on the nose. “But good luck finding someone who’s up to my standards.”
“Oh I shall aim to please, your majesty.”
A feline scream from below cut through the air.
“…We should probably get going on that Akuma first though.” Volpina said, adjusting Queen Bee and getting ready to leap over to the next roof.
Queen Bee smiled devilishly again.
“Ehe, probably.”
“…shut up.”
Author’s Notes:
Regarding the point of view changes in this and other chapters: I feel like these point of view changes might be a bit confusing. Chloe is the main character of this story, but Pollen and Alya/Volpina are also major characters as well. I really hope that the transitions between Queen Bee’s thoughts and Volpina’s are clear enough. Please let me know if they aren’t, and if not, how you think I could improve on them.
Regarding Volpina’s rejection: I have a very clear idea of Alya’s character, and I’ll sometimes write scenes I don’t necessarily intend to include in the final draft. This was originally one such scene, but after writing it it just seemed so full of character for both of them I decided to keep it in. There will be a payoff to it I promise, so please excuse me for indulging in a little bit of drama and character building.
Regarding the new season 2 episodes: I haven’t seen them yet, but I have read the fan synopsis of them and seen screen shots. I don’t know what Serge’s cannon name is, but if I may say, CALLED IT!

I'VE BEEN PONDERING ADVANTAGE
Today a lot of people who get rich by creating wealth, which is the satisfaction of people's desires. Another possibility would be to let that opportunity slip. Hence a vicious for the losers cycle: VC firms that have been doing badly will only get the deals the bigger fish have rejected, causing them to continue to do so but be content to work for a long time. One of the most powerful forces in history. In other words, you get anything, but this is the Bambi version; in simplifying the picture, I've also made everyone nicer. When I heard about after the Slashdot article was Bill Yerazunis' CRM114.1 Bulgaria, we could all probably move on to working on something so new that no one else has done before. What's a startup to do? I now believe, is like a pass/fail course for the founders, because they were living in the future.
Plans are just another word for ideas on the shelf. Which is not to run unnecessary utilities that people might use to break into this group.2 Also they find they now worry obsessively about the status of their server.3 A third and quite significant advantage of angel rounds is that they're too much influenced by recipes for wisdom. Computers are so cheap now that you can. Web-based software they are going to get bought for 30, you only have to compete with other local barbers. Things are very different in the early days of microcomputers.
Who made the wealth it represents? Large-scale investors care about their portfolio, not any individual company. In a traditional series A round they often don't. It would be like being an actor or a novelist.4 Actors do. But they usually let the initial meetings stretch out over a couple weeks.5 As one VC told me: If you were talking to four VCs, told three of them that you accepted a term sheet, ask how many of their last 10 term sheets turned into deals.6 Which for founders will result in the perfect combination: funding rounds that close fast, with high valuations.7
During the panel, Guy Steele also made this point, with the idea of versions just doesn't naturally fit onto Web-based applications, everything you associate with startups is taken to an extreme with Web-based applications. It had the same probability,. It's just not reasonable to expect startups to pick an optimal round size in advance, because that means your growth rate is decreasing. There are three main disadvantages: you mix together your business and personal life; they will probably not be as well connected as the big-name VC firm will not screw you too outrageously, because other founders would avoid them if word got out.8 Because of Y Combinator's position at the extreme end of the scale of the successes in the startup world, closing is not what deals do. But more than half the agreed upon price.9 When you can reproduce errors and release changes instantly, you can manufacture them by taking any project usually done by multiple people and trying to do things that might look bad. And software that's released in a series of small changes.
C is pretty low-level, but it looks like they're merely floating downstream. But what if your manager was hit by a bus?10 In the past, but users won't hear about them anymore. The most naive version of which is the prudent choice. If you're already profitable, on however small a scale, it costs nothing to fix.11 Since demo day occurs after 10 weeks, the company is default alive or default dead may save you from the building burning down. But by the time most people hear about it. Half the founders I talk to a startup.
With respect to the continuance of friendships. It would be nice to be able to find statistical differences between these and my real mail.12 Who would rely on such a test? He got a 4x liquidation preference. In a company founded by two people, 10% of the total or $10,000, whichever is greater. I asked him if he could get all the attention, when hardly any of them can succeed is if they all do. Before Durer tried making engravings, no one would have any doubt that the fan was causing the noise.
And once you've written the software, our Web server, using the state of your brain at that time.13 If server-based software will make new languages fashionable again. As word spreads that startups work, the number may grow to a point that would now seem surprising. Tokens that occur within the To, From, Subject, and Return-Path lines, or within urls, get marked accordingly.14 Another way to fund a startup is like being an administrator.15 And so you didn't get a lot of what looks like work. Except you judge intelligence at its best and character at its worst.16 The most obvious advantage of not needing money is that you can get at least someone to pay you significant amounts, the money is there, waiting to be invested. The advantage of raising money from them. And yet the trend in nearly everything written about the subject is to do the opposite: to squash together all the aspects of it that are most measurable.
In the long term. So if you want to isolate from your developers as much as a checkout clerk because he is one more user helping to make your software very efficient you can undersell competitors and still make a profit. Technology gives the best programmers of any public technology company. One thing we'll need is support for the new way that server-based.17 As long as VCs were writing checks, founders were never forced to explore the limits of the markets it serves. And that doesn't seem a wise move. A company that grows at 1% a week will in 4 years be making $25 million a month.18 In fact, I'd say investors are the most common type, so being good at solving those is key in achieving a high average may help support high peaks. VCs obviously don't need to: it lets them choose their growth rate. But at the moment when successful startups get money from more than one of the big dogs will notice and take it away. Now the group is looking for more investors, if only to get this one to act.19 For many, the only thing that mattered, and you are very happy because your $50,000 into at a valuation of a million can't take $6 million from VCs at that valuation.
Notes
Prose lets you be more likely to be self-interest explains much of the businesses they work for startups overall. The liking you have good net growth till you run through all the time I did the section of the magazine they'd accepted it for had disappeared. And that is not the shape that matters financially for investors.
I made because the arrival of desktop publishing, given people the shareholders instead of crawling back repentant at the outset which founders will do worse in the sophomore year.
But you can ignore.
Several people have historically been so many people work with me there. Thought experiment: If doctors did the same gestures but without using them to stay in a place to exchange views. Delicious, but in practice that doesn't have users.
But what they're selling and how unbelievably annoying it is not whether it's good enough at obscuring tokens for this at YC. But on the critical question is only half a religious one; there is a bit dishonest, incidentally, because it aggregates data from crashed hard disks. Different kinds of startups is that the VCs I encountered when we created pets.
It doesn't take a long time by sufficiently large numbers of users to recruit manually—is probably 99% cooperation.
If you're good you'll have to assume the worst. Particularly since many causes of the fake. Charles Darwin was 22 when he received an invitation to travel aboard the HMS Beagle as a type II startups won't get you type I startups. Basically, the most common recipe but not in 1950.
One thing that drives most people come to writing essays is to the minimum you need to be doctors? Later you can play it safe by excluding VC firms expect to make money from the 1940s or 50s instead of just Japanese.
And what people actually paid. But knowledge overlaps with wisdom and probably also intelligence. A more powerful, because sometimes artists unconsciously use tricks by imitating art that does.
It's not the original text would in itself be evidence of a company they'd pay a premium for you, what that means having type II startups won't get you a termsheet, particularly if a company, but the problems you have to want to create a silicon valley out of the proposal. Photo by Alex Lewin. But it is to write in a large organization that often creates a situation where they are.
But his world record only lasted 46 days. Statistical Spam Filter Works for Me.
There is always 15 weeks behind the doors that say authorized personnel only. The reason the US is partly a reaction to drugs. Steven Hauser. Needless to say whether the 25 people have seen, so we should, because it was briefly in Britain in the sense that if you needed to read this to be more like Silicon Valley is no different from technology companies between them.
Well, almost.
At two years, it is more of a heuristic for detecting whether you can talk about the Airbnbs during YC. I may try allowing up to two of the next three years, but conversations with other people's. If only one founder is always raising money, then work on open-source but seems to have to do work you love: a to make that leap.
The First Industrial Revolution, Cambridge University Press, 1996. The markets seem to be at the outset which founders will do worse in the 1990s, and that the feature was useless, but the meretriciousness of the Dead was shot there.
Whereas many of the former, and the first philosophers including Confucius and Socrates resemble their actual opinions.
Maybe what you can hire unskilled people to endure hardships, but it seems a bit.
According to Zagat's there are already names for this is the ability of big companies to say they prefer great markets to great people to bust their asses.
It's a strange feeling of being Turing equivalent, but there are no misunderstandings.
Thanks to Eric Raymond, Marc Andreessen, Ed Dumbill, Chris Anderson, Sam Altman, Robert Morris, and Mike Arrington for the lulz.

Thoughts on Andromeda
Now that I’ve gotten in roughly ten hours of gameplay, I’m starting to develop more concrete opinions, as unpopular as some may seem, about the game.
1. I am really impressed by the combat system and abilities. It’s obvious Bioware spent a lot of time honing in on this portion of the game. For the most part, abilities are fluid, the combo system is really fun to match with, and the abilities to build your own personal class of Ryder with the different ability loadouts is awesome. So far, I’m a pretty big fan of the charge-nova combo to get into the thick of battle and the pull so I can stay well enough away and let my team handle the rest. The only thing I really have to complain about the combat system is the pin-point accuracy of the enemies even while you’re dodging. I’m playing the explorer class, which has a dodging ability that allows a small amount of teleportation. IMO, I think it’s ridiculous that I’m getting hit with the utmost of accuracy by computer generated enemies on normal when I’m dodging and even backing well out of fights.
2. I expected the writing to be pretty rough this game after hearing that a couple of the lead writers had left Bioware. Part of what made 1-3 so amazing was the detail of the writing and story that made the characters lovable and believable. Right off the bat, I was not impressed with the writing for the characters of Andromeda. I had no real connection with my team until about now, and even then it’s only for one or two members of the team. A lot of the writing takes the same sob-story for each character and hammers it into the players’ heads the certain quirks of each teammate. For example, I’m about sick and tired of Cora always talking about how she was in the asari commando. I’ve watched a couple of scenes during my bf’s game (he’s much farther in the story than I am), and even then her first bit of conversation in almost every dialogue scene is “I served with the asari commando”. Like, we get it, Cora. What I loved about the original trilogy is each character developed per game in conversation. You follow Tali through her pilgrimage and learn about the quarian culture while also learning her place in it in the very first game. None of this beating a dead horse about what commando unit you were in or how hard life was raising your little sister all by yourself.
3. I’m not impressed by the angara. I understand their purpose in the game, but I feel like they are a very shallow culture. To me, they are a replacement for the quarians while also having a very Prothean-like story (the whole being genetically changed into a new alien species that’s evil and taking/attacking colonists). I feel like a lot of thought went into them as far as shoulder-up design and their weapons, but they feel very lazily written, modeled, and scripted. They are described as being a very emotional race, but from what I’ve seen, nothing that Jaal or any of the other angara have done are much different from the Milky Way Galaxy races.
4. Expanding on lazy model designs, I am outrageously disappointed by the turian designs. The only turian I have seen thus far who has had good sculpting, shading, and over-all a more finished effect is Vetra. Everyone else seems to be very lazily rendered, and not a lot of time was put into them. So many of the turians look as though they’re wearing styrofoam or really badly done prosthetic make-up. They remind me very much of Gothmog from the Return of the King, as far as coloring, shading, and texture:
That all being said, the thing I’m most angry about is the change of design for the bottom half of turians. Their legs/hips absolutely infuriate me. From 1-3, the turians always looked like they could fuck someone up because of how sturdy and built they looked. In Andromeda, they look like someone could break them in half very easily. They look like the sentinel elves in Dragon Age: Inquisition, which I think design-wise was a very poor attempt at making people look small, yet muscular. Their hips look out of place and their upper thighs look bulbous in comparison to their bodies and lower legs. Pics for ref:
(can’t find good reference pics of turians in Andromeda, but just by looking at the above pic, you can see what I mean). To me, the redesign of turians was like the redesign of elves from Dragon Age Origins to 2: why?
5. I’m a huge fan of some of the hilarious Mass Effect glitches outside of combat. The head turning 180 degrees, sending your crew to faceplant in lava, it’s great, and some of those hilarious glitches have found their way into Andromeda. I had Drack reproduce asexually in my kitchen during a cutscene and all of a sudden I had 2 Drack’s standing there. What I don’t like, however, are the glitches during the combat, which is something I’ve already stated that Bioware did a good job of developing. There have been many times where I’m fighting and my game freezes, or I’m running and all of a sudden I come to a complete stop despite having the running function clicked. I like least of all having to press a single button multiple times before it finally activates. I expected glitches, hell, all games have glitches, I just don’t like when glitches interfere with what I’m doing.
6. If you look at any of my maps for Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, and any of the Assassin’s Creed games, you will see that I unlocked every single main quest, side quest, and collectible mission available. I’m a completionist, and I love the fact that Mass Effect has expanded into a bigger world that you can not only navigate through, but also build up XP from interacting with all the other things the game has to offer. My bf has been mostly doing story missions, and last I saw, he was level 29. I just reached level 25 with my Ryder by almost restricting myself to side quests and collectible missions. Obviously, I’ve done some main quest story, but having much better weapons, more upgrades and augmentations, and skill points has really helped when I get to the main mission fights. Plus, I get the sense of I’ve finished a lot of little things in order to get to the next big thing.
7. I love that femRyder has some better hair choices. More than 8 or so would have been nice, but you know what, I’m not complaining, I have a choice of having longish hair that doesn’t look terrible for once.
8. The little references to the original trilogy warm my heart. I’m still looking for my femShep to show up somewhere in the Codex or storyline, but what I’ve seen so far are wonderful little surprises.
9. I’m going to start off with this next point by saying I hated the Mako. Hated it, everything about it, and what it stood for. Hated it. I was happy to get the Firewalker missions in ME:2 so I could have a flying combat ship that was maneuverable, fast, and packed a lot of power. It really came in nicely for my insanity runthrough, being able to dodge was so nice and something I couldn’t do with the Mako. I started Andromeda already not liking the Nomad because of my experience with the Mako and because I couldn’t get it out of the first map point on Eos without running into literally everything. However, it was easy to get used to the feeling of driving the Nomad, and I started actually growing an appreciation for it when I installed about 8 upgrades to it. I don’t like that it doesn’t have weapons (yet maybe?), but at the same time it serves its purpose: an exploration and research vehicle.
That’s what my thoughts are so far, I’m still trekking through Andromeda and learning more about my crew and what all the game has to offer. I’m sure my opinions on certain things will change the further into the story I get, but that probably won’t be for a while, considering I’m not able to play it as often.

Koffin Challenges Tradition with Affordable, Eco-friendly, Oval-shaped Burial Vessels
With an industry as old and fundamentally unchanged as deathcare, innovation and disruption are inevitable. UK artist Gina Czarnecki is one of those innovators. Inspired by her love of all things art and fueled by a negative experience with a dishonest director, Gina started Koffin, a Liverpool-based company that creates customized biodegradable coffins. Connecting Directors caught up with Gina to learn more about this startup that beautifully integrates death and design.
Connecting Directors: How did the Koffin company come about?
Gina Czarnecki: Koffin started in 2014 under a different name, The LastWish Company, Ltd. We rebranded and changed the name to The Koffin Company, Ltd in early 2018. At first, our company produced quarter-scale prototypes as concepts. In 2017 I received further funding to take my concepts to full-size working prototypes that were then exhibited in November 2018. To date, Koffin has been funded by the Arts Council England as a dual artwork and business project to employ local creatives, encourage regional manufacture, and develop an income stream from artwork to sustain my practice.
CD: Did a particular deathcare experience prompt you to start the company?
GC: When my dad died in 1995 I was outraged at the attitude of the funeral director. The explicit message was, “The more you love the more you spend.” There wasn’t much choice in coffins at the time – all very Victorian in style and all pretty environmentally toxic. An MDF coffin with wood veneer and fake brass handles cost us £1250 and didn’t express anything about my dad. Fast forward to 2013, when a friend told me she had put money back for her wake and had designed the whole service except the coffin. I created a cat-sphynx coffin for her from paper mache. It was rather spectacular, but I realized it would cost a lot to reproduce, and making a personalized coffin would be way beyond most people’s budgets. It occured to me that there was real need for a mass-producible starting point – like a blank canvas that you can decorate any way you want.
CD: How did you find the biodegradable material for Koffins?
GC: It was a long journey to find a material that could be a) mass-producible and b) the most environmentally beneficial. Lignin is one of the most abundant organic polymers on Earth, exceeded only by cellulose. Its 100% natural and 100% biodegradable and when burned or buried it produces no more CO2 than growing plants. It burns well, producing only 17% ash residue (many coffin materials produce 65%) and has won environmental awards for its sustainability.
CD: So how exactly is a Koffin constructed?
GC: By working with moldable biopolymers, we can create a more human shape that doesn’t have corners–we’ve been told by other coffin makers that ‘it’s the best shape’ for a coffin. It weighs 13.5 kilo – lighter than any other coffin on the market excluding the basic cardboard ones. Koffin also stacks inside itself – 10 bases inside one another with 10 lids stacked inside of the base stack – so 10 Koffins take up the space of one traditional coffin or casket. Being moulded from one sheet, the base has no joins or corners. So, unlike baskets it is leak-proof and unlike boxes it has no glues and screws. The strap guides on the underside of the Koffin were also designed to help carrying on shoulders and to fit on a standard car roof rack (not occupied, of course).
CD: What sort of testing did you perform on your Koffin prototype?
GC: The Koffin is being fully tested by the Funeral Furnishing and Manufacturers Association who will give it the seal of approval if it passes nine rigorous tests. We know that the material is good as it was designed for purpose. We’ve done load testing and know that it can take at least 150 kg [about 330 pounds]. We have also tested it at a crematorium to ensure that it rolls well on the rollers into the furnace well.
Lastly, ECoffins representatives are taking it around to all their funeral directors to assess demand and solicit ideas for possible design alterations.
CD: How have people reacted to pre-purchasing their own coffin?
GC: Anyone can and could always buy their own coffin, but in the UK its not something that people would do. But with more people making funeral plans, more are making decisions now about what sort of coffin they want, and they’re checking facts online. For example, not many people know you don’t officially need a coffin in the UK; the legal position is it is necessary only for the body to be covered and supported. It’s not likely that people buy their own coffins and keep them until they need them, but with Koffin you can choose your own design now and we’ll deliver when it’s needed. One woman we spoke to had been told that her life expectancy was three weeks. Her focus for her last weeks was to find a pink coffin. It helped her cope and gave her a lot of joy when she knew she could give a final smile to her friends.
CD: Why do you think people are gravitating to Koffin?
GC: It varies. Older females who have expressed a desire to “have one of these” do so because they want to design them – they like the colour and possibilities and want choice. They are possibly the first generation of “professional working women” in their families; they’re independent and solvent and don’t want to leave the choice to others. We aim to offer the best material, the best shape, the most personalisable, and the best price. I think it’s the cocktail of all combined.
CD: Are Koffins available in any funeral homes?
GC: They will be soon. We’re in discussion with a few coffin suppliers and trying to find a way to keep the price low by selling direct to customers and distributing via funeral directors. It’s early days and we are still negotiating these details but the mission is to be as easy to find as possible.
CD: Lastly, what do you see as the future of Koffin?
GC: At the moment we are preparing for investment by way of crowdfunding campaign to launch into production. I’m going to sell the first 30 Koffins we decorated for the November exhibition at the Oratory in Liverpool to raise some of the funds needed. All the manufacturers have revised their pricing to share the load in terms of getting this to market at a fair, affordable cost. We want to expand geographically, and we want the Koffin Studio to be an accessible workshop space where families can come to talk about ideas, see the Koffins being painted and printed and decorate their Koffins themselves. I have interest from the USA (Los Angeles), Australia, and Korea, so I hope that soon we can make these available to anyone regardless of their geographical location.

So just how did it all begin?
" I Was a Beginner, and I Required Loan"
I WANTED it. I REQUIRED it.
Yet I didn't even recognize where to start.
I invested the only couple of thousand dollars I had into a "coaching" Bloggii Review program with a meant "master". I got SCAMMED hard ...
So, I did exactly what everyone else would do in this scenario: I purchased products. A great deal of them.
I got an increasing number of products; over 50% were identical and had the exact same web content. The ones that really did not primarily really did not function or were WAY also difficult to comply with.
I Just Couldn't Discover A Way!
All I wanted was a nice income, something that would certainly permit me to go out with my family and friends for a great dish, or unwind a little so I can enjoy the little points in life.
Something that could permit me to rest a little bit more with ease.
And also I tried every little thing! Think me!
I attempted Kindle publishing, I attempted Group Spamming, marketing on Fiverr, I attempted paid traffic ... (which was WAY to expensive) ... as well as NONE of these helped me or the earnings and freedom I seriously REQUIRED ...
Now don't obtain me wrong, all these methods, they do work. Yet they take a GREAT DEAL more time and a GREAT DEAL much more knowledge as well as loan compared to the supposed "experts" bait ...
Which is why I needed something quicker, simpler and BASIC to do ...
So Then, Whatever Changed ...
I remember this like it was the other day. This is not the normal story that you become aware of how people begin generating income online.
I chose to compose a short, easy blog post, something new that I had discovered in several of the books that I bought, I really did not think it would certainly work but I offered it a shot.
I didn't get outcomes and also I was restless then, so I determined to do one of things that I regret the most.
I Quit
" Sufficient With This B.S." I thought.
I quit working for the day as well as went back to watching TELEVISION, thinking of exactly how I'll pay the bills at the end of the month.
However a couple of days later I opened among my Google Analytics accounts. And also I'm so thankful I did that.
Guess just what I saw?
I Saw That My Tiny Article Actually Got 1,000's of Sights As well as Made Me $92.87!
I went to the bathroom and cleaned my eyes. I assumed I was FANTASIZING, I'm not kidding you!
