8 years ago a grandma accidentally texted a young man she didn’t know about Thanksgiving. They’ve gone from strangers to family to business partners
Damn - Why does everything have to become a hustle or business opportunity? Why couldn’t a wholesome accidental friendship just stay that way?
God I hate the influence hustle culture has had on the internet.
Because capitalism is an economic system that squeezes every last cent out of people for the sake of “efficiency”.
Not everyone is affected equally (woo, human biases) but it hits every group eventually. Sadly people often find need to obtain money somewhere to justify their own existence. The usual sources tend to grind you down to a sad shadow if your former self, so people often look for alternatives.
It’s not in order to justify our existence, but to merely be able to exist. There are zero guarantees of having our basic needs met; we need money to even have a chance.
Yes, but in order to be able to exist, one needs to justify their existence in a capitalist system. If you do not, you’re considered dead weight and not worth having. My wording was intentional.
Because tree falling in forest doesn’t make a sound or something like that. You ever only hear about the ones that are promoted for clicks on the internet. I’m sure the are hundredths of grandpas that texted the wrong person, became friends and never bragged about it on Instagram.
In 2023, Hinton announced on Thanksgiving that he and Dench had gone from “family” to business partners, launching an alkaline black water called BlackMP.
What the hell is “alkaline black water” ???
Like the other person said, a scam, but to give the claim…
Black water or alkaline black water is power-packed with minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
Sounds like my well water if you boil off some of the water.
Its distinct colour is attained by the elevated alkaline water pH that ranges between eight to nine.
PH doesn’t change the color. A thing that changes PH may also change the color but the PH itself is not responsible.
it does if you drink a mix of 1-propanol, phenolphthalein, sodium hydroxide, sodium bisulfite, methyl red, bromithymol blue, and thymol blue.
I upvoted this only so that more people might see this went from wholesome to scummy side hustle. Maybe next year we won’t hear about these people at all anymore. 🤞
Yeah this went from cute to kinda dumb. Not everything needs to be monetized.
That’s the type of stuff I’d donate too to help others.
