Apparently she's an author of self help books. "#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits, CEO of Vision Advertising, TEDx Speaker and America's Happiness Coach."

Yeah, she can eat a bag of dicks. But, we’re not the audience for her terrible joke, it’s her rich friends.

That's the fun thing about social media though--the size of the audience can rapidly expand! I would say people should be more careful what they say online but nobody that should hear that will be listening anyway 🙂

#1 Bestselling Author of The Six Habits

Notice how Bestselling refers to author, not the book, and with her probably being the only author, she can prefix it with any superlative she wants.

CEO of Vision Advertising

Imagine calling yourself CEO unironically for the maybe 3 person gig you're running to have some overpaid management fill their calenders with instead of doing actual work.

TEDx Speaker

This is not the flex you (edit: she) think(s) it is

America's Happiness Coach

Complains about other travelers... preemptively.

Dont you have to fund getting a TEDx talk, Like they didnt invite you, you paid to have the time and platform.

[-] Laser@feddit.org 30 points 2 days ago

Yeah, TED as far as know invites you to present, TEDx you pay for a platform to talk on... which shows how much people value your message.

Ah, that makes more sense, I haven't seen either in years, but I remember thinking that they used to be decent but went downhill, I bet it was tedx I was seeing.

[-] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Both are trash now and are happy to push partisan rhetoric and outdated science.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

Ah yes, a bloodsucker.

Author of The Six Habits

Is this lady the hitchhiker from There's Something About Mary, copying Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People?

Hitchhiker : You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?

Ted : Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the exercise video.

Hitchhiker : Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.

Ted : Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.

Hitchhiker : Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?

Ted : I would go for the 7.

Hitchhiker : Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.

Ted : You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?

Hitchhiker : If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".

Ted : That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?

[Hitchhiker convulses]

Hitchhiker : No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

Ted : That - good point.

Hitchhiker : 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.
