Is that the one direction super fan Harry and some other guy have ass babies crowd?
I don’t understand anything about this sentence 🤣
They were all super obsessed with Harry Styles and some other 1D guy being secretly in love but having to hide it from the world. They talked about it all day every day and had tumblrs and such. I believe there was some fanfiction about one of the two being pregnant with an ass baby. I don’t know.
The other memory I have is that they had something they referred to as the chapters and it was all this various stuff typed out proving their love.

I see where aliciabella is coming from. TBH I don't remember farmville ever selling but jenny was a very prolific poster at the time and she had a link to her shop in her sig and was hawking her shop like white on rice any time the topic came up. She's a smart, funny, well-liked person and in a way that added to the predatory nature of using this community to better her business. Of course it's a smart strategy, just like a blogger selling something and linking to it often as a "favorite" product, or a commissioned link to Nordstrom or American Eagle. Capitalism baby. We were all part of the game. It definitely changed my opinion of her a bit. Not because I think she's a bad person, just because it was something I thought was out of character based on the online impression I had of her. But really I don't know any of you so does it really matter?
That's fair. It was definitely cringey as fuck. Man. Like I said, embarrassing.
Not that it makes it okay, but I legit was into the clothes (I can barely type that) and excited to talk about it. People from this board did not make up very much of my income but I agree it was super tacky to link here and talk about it.
LuLaRoe filed a ton of documents yesterday and today. This is the only one that was made public on the court website. I have no idea if this was supposed to be public or if this was supposed to be filed under seal, but it was public and I paid for it and downloaded it legally...
HELLO HELLO DEFECTIVE LEGGING LAWSUIT LAWYERS I HOPE YOU ARE HERE FOR THIS.
- Mark doesn't really deny making the statement about not paying MyDyer a fucking dime, he just denies that he ever had any intent to leave the country.
- Mark says they are current on all of their rents.
- Mark says the LLCs are all legit.
- Mark says the cars in the photos are not all his, and he takes shots at Dan Kang, who is conspicuously absent from MyDyer's declarations.
- Mark accuses Patrick of lying about everything.
- Mark drops a bunch of shit about defective product that would probably be helpful in the defective leggings lawsuit.
And apparently Meri (Sister Wives) sent this to a former retailer in her down line:
Did you see the idiots who claimed this was nice and polite and not at all passive aggressive? How are there so many flaming morons in every facet of the LLR universe??
If it’s the same, I was under the impression that most of those donations were simply given to her by friends? Not sure why it’s being attributed to LLR.
I assume we're all talking about the same former GBCNer. I just read her post and it's really gross and exploitative. I'm really disappointed in her.
Did she block a poster from here who sent her a message after the Down Syndrome controversy asking her about it?
Also, IIRC, people don't have to use the "bless cards" but whatever they sell through the LLR POS system goes there. You can transfer it off right away, but the incentive for keeping money in that account is that you get 5% off whatever you order from LLR through that system. Which means LLR is somehow making money hand over fist by having people keep it in that account. They're scrambling to tell people that everything's fine and THE CARDS ARE ALL GOOD, DAMMIT!
One person in Defectives said she was a retailer for a long time, and when she did her taxes one year, she claimed $90k in sales, but had $0 in profit, and that's when she left. She might have been a top 100 retailer. She definitely went on the cruise and stuff. I would have assumed that the people going on the cruise at the very least are making something, but I guess not.

I know I am preaching to the choir here, but how the hell, HOW, are you $90k deep in sales here before you realize that you made nothing?! Like your head is so far up your ass the first, $10k, $20k, $50k that you don't notice? What?!

I think a LOT of people don't keep careful track of what they're putting into it and taking out. Probably because 99% of people who get involved in MLMs have absolutely no experience running a business, or with accounting, etc. BTW, the retail price of the clothing is twice what the consultants pay for it. I'm sure the rest is taxes, shipping, business cards, events, and whatever kind of advertising. Some people in the same thread said they realized they were only making like $2-$3 per hour and working way more than "part-time hours."
Same thing with a lot of gig economy jobs where you work as a "contractor" like Uber. Gas, insurance, vehicle maintenance and car washes, plus bottled water and/or snacks or whatever else you use for your business are expenses, but I'd be surprised if even a majority of casual part-time Uber drivers REALLY run the numbers.

Even when MLMers say they are rolling in the dough I always assume they're really bad at math and their partners are bringing in enough supplemental income that they just don't notice. The model just doesn't lend itself to actually making a profit and most of those people can't math.

One of the podcasts indicated that some MLMs actively discourage their “consultants” from keeping track of their expenses. Because, you know, then they’d know a lot sooner that they’re in the red and quit.
Also, on the last episode of The Dream, Jane Marie made a good point: she said a lot of new businesses fail in the first few years, but unlike say starting a restaurant where the “lost money” goes to rent, pays for food that people eat, pays for wages (and generally contributes to the economy), when MLM consultants lose money, it’s pretty much all going into the pockets of their EMPLOYERS.

I don't know. Something is off in this woman's case. The "wholesale" price is generally about half of the retail price. Obviously you have some expenses like shipping supplies, giveaways, etc. and I assume she discounted some stuff but she's starting with a $45k profit. That's a lot of cheap unicorn necklaces and polymailers.
I wonder if she did her taxes correctly. (Another HUGE issue among consultants...I would see people not reporting LLR income at all on their taxes because they "didn't make much money off it").

In theory. Except most consultants turn around and turn that "profit" into more inventory. And somewhere in their home is a growing pile of the really ugly patterns no one can sell. And then they GOOB and sell that stuff for $5 a piece if they're lucky. And they don't make a profit on that.

Almost everyone SAYS they're rolling in dough because it's a fake it till you make it gig. The only way for MLM people to make money (and I know LLR was a rare outlier) is to build a huge team. The way to make a team is to project success and promise a lifestyle. I don't trust anything anyone involved in mlm posts anywhere. Everything is a tactic to get social media engagement, interest, and recruit downlines who are the only hope you have for a paycheck.
Most GBCNers weren’t pushy about recruiting but I will sat both B & the former MMMer that bought the van for LLR stuff tried to sign me up and both suggested a 0% interest cc when I said I didn’t have the start up costs. All of this right after Ds2 was born and money was tight.

If I remember correctly, Natariru said that Brie targeted her when she knew she was in the middle of battling PPA.
