This guy wasn't worth posting about when he skated - why are we looking at his extra curriculars?

There's a quote, perhaps apocryphal, attributed to Joe Kennedy soon before the crash of 1929 saying, "you know it's time to sell when shoeshine boys give you stock tips."
I think the same heuristic applies here. Once Mikey Taylor, president of Commune Capital, is slinging "multi-family and mixed-use properties in gentrifying areas. We look for opportunities with significant potential for appreciation and/or income with our “value-add” strategy for the property," something is amiss.
Also have to grimly laugh at under Partners Past Investments, there's a shot of some storage units done in dramatic lighting and black and white.

The fund last filed with the SEC as an exempt reporter with no revenue.

Based on the previous closed investments it looks like they set up individual LLCs for each real estate investment keeping the assets and revenue low enough to exempt them from the SEC reporting requirements of an investment company or real estate investment trust.
Seems like the asset manager involved has an interesting past based on the disclosure section of their registration statement.

Dude is morally corrupt and equates money to success. He’s providing for his family 10 times over by exploiting and displacing low income families. What a great father and role model. Really hope the skate community doesn’t have to see his face around much longer.

similar subject that doesnt need its own topic, but Boiltheocean’s write up about skateboarding and the skatepark’s role in gentrification was an interesting read.

Wow, of course Mikey Taylor would be the one who straight up uses "gentrification" as a positive term to advertise.
Only a matter of time before commune capital fucks up a good skate spot in the spirit of "redevelopment"

Yeah, like fuck all the people who live and work on that block cuz grassy fields & animals look nice, right?

I hope these vultures lose everything in the next crash. Fucking scum. Also, Mikey should refrain from having his disgustingly bizarre head and face shot in black and white. There's some pro bono "marketing advice" from TITANIUM NIPPLES.

So who took that picture? Was it a random candid shot or did he purposely stage a scene of him “looking busy”? I’m going with the latter.

Can't you contribute some of this oversharing to the Revive model? Tidbits of reality show mixed in with skating on the daily IG update.

Truth.
This is some of the douchiest behavior on the planet. We've all had to overhear choads like this speaking way too loudly on their phone in a public place. Or "strategizing" with their fellow scumbag developers/finance bros at a bar.
I hope his wife leaves him due to his "addiction to Takin Care of Bizz"". Only then will he be free to receive Jeremy's rancid cock thrusts.

I knew he was a kook ever since he went on the nine club and when talking about villager goods or whatever the coconut water company is called he said "I don't care about the environ...." then held his tongue, realising it could potentially be bad for the company.

I will still enjoy his mindfield part, but this guy is a money-hungry asshole.

I should have known. I have contacted him thinking it was great to create something to help skateboarding people to save and invest some money (Iam helping to manage institutional pension plan investment for a living). He told me he was savy on investments when he’s only doing a real estate fund on a value added strategy late in the cycle. Just figured out, he’s looking only for the money for him and his « friends ». No need to say I have stopped any communication with him.

Definitely don't get the "Here I am neglecting my family" posts or the urge to broadcast it.
I feel like he thinks he's an investment genius/can't lose now because he's done well with St. Archer and Villager. The thing about lucky streaks is that they do end.

Why is his daughter wearing black latex gloves? I want to give the benefit of the doubt and say she's doing a traditional tattoo apprenticeship but BoMike Horseman wouldn't allow that on his white couches I'm sure. Mikey I only care about you while you're doing a fs feeble so knock it off and go skate.

I totally get where he's coming from. Having all you're dreams come true, being a millionaire, owning your own skateboard company, getting to do whatever you want and having a family that loves you and supports you even though you neglect them out of sheer greed is fucking tough. Dudes making minimum wage and living paycheck to paycheck have it easy.

Sadly, he posted this shit on his linkedin and people are riding his nuts super hard. "Oh, Mikey you've got to take a breather."
Apparently, he is also involved in something called Avini Intelligence. It is supposed to be an online "education" thing (podcast TED wanna-be?). It starts off discussing "Chamber Theory," which basically states, "If humans are in the same place at the same time they might decide to do stuff together," which is fucking brilliant! Look out social-psychology Mikey Taylor is about to disrupt your whole science with this break through.
I swear every person who refuses to read a fucking book thinks that they are brilliant.

Looks like the sort of dude who walks into a bar and the bartender says, "why the long face?"

entrepreneur? more like lots of manure

Can't deny the cringeworthy IG & YouTube stuff, but better to be where he apparently is than starting a GoFundme for new teeth or because you are finishing your pro career.
He invested in storage units at 19, that alone puts him in a better spot than probably 90% of ex-pros. Now I have no idea if this commune capital group is a good operator, but not sure all the hate is really deserved.

He is probably just a paper president. His CFO and business partner are brothers from a successful business family in the area. They are most likely laundering money and using Mikey’s happy-go-lucky attitude as a front. Maybe I have been binging on Ozark too much but the whole company seems fishy. Why would an MBA from Pepperdine and his accountant brother partner with a former pro skater To purchase defunct grocery stores and storage lockers all over the US?

It's somewhat difficult to get into dental school, you have to be smart enough to handle the pre-requisite courses.

South Central right now is pretty gnarly with this. Literally every corner there's "We'll buy your house for cash" signs. Plenty of people have bit and sold now everyone is moving out and people that are renting have slowly been forced to move more east. It has however made the neighborhood a bit less dangerous it seems. Its bittersweet to say the least.

Same thing is still happening in Culver City. Heavy development in a hood that was family owned 5 years ago. I'll check out that insta. I love kicking back at real estate investors.

Living in Culver now..
It's insane to see $3500 a month studios, but a block down Venice I would be scared to walk alone at night.
It's getting impossible to find anything affordable west of downtown now days, and downtown is just as bad.
That being said, I would love to invest in Mikey's company if that meant I can make money from not doing anything.

Something has to give here. I feel there has to be a massive debt crash coming in the next 20 years. I don't understand how the real estate market has climbed to such insane heights when wages still suck and we are being saddled with more and more student loan debt. The median household income for California is 64K per year (household is such a weird term since it could mean a single person, two married people, a whole family, a retired person, etc.). Shit even more amazingly, the median household income for LA county is 57K per year. How in the fuck is a household paying 3K for rent when they can't be taking home more than $3,300 each month? How are they paying for a car, which AAA estimates at an average monthly cost of $700 each month?
I honestly don't get it. I got lucky and I have a decent job, but I live in a shithole, I walk from point A to point B in a city "where you need a car," and I can barely put a few dollars in the bank each month. How are other people affording 3K for rent, a car, going out for drinks, new clothing, the doctor, dentist, etc.? What am I missing here?

I'm in the northeast and it's happening here as much as anywhere else. From what I've heard the Boyle Heights protestors are particularly confrontational bc of what they've already seen happen to other neighborhoods on the eastside.

How are other people affording 3K for rent, a car, going out for drinks, new clothing, the doctor, dentist, etc.? What am I missing here?

That is a scary thought.
It seems that our grandparents were born in poverty but died in wealth, and we were born into wealth but we will die in poverty.
To some extent it has already started (https://jacobinmag.com/2018/09/senior-citizens-bankruptcy-austerity-social-security).

I'm a bitch and don't want to get personally involved in this but would be kinda funny if someone alerted the anti-gentrification groups of this.
https://www.instagram.com/latenants/
South Central right now is pretty gnarly with this. Literally every corner there's "We'll buy your house for cash" signs. Plenty of people have bit and sold now everyone is moving out and people that are renting have slowly been forced to move more east. It has however made the neighborhood a bit less dangerous it seems. Its bittersweet to say the least.
Same thing is still happening in Culver City. Heavy development in a hood that was family owned 5 years ago. I'll check out that insta. I love kicking back at real estate investors.
It's insane to see $3500 a month studios, but a block down Venice I would be scared to walk alone at night.
It's getting impossible to find anything affordable west of downtown now days, and downtown is just as bad.
That being said, I would love to invest in Mikey's company if that meant I can make money from not doing anything.
Something has to give here. I feel there has to be a massive debt crash coming in the next 20 years. I don't understand how the real estate market has climbed to such insane heights when wages still suck and we are being saddled with more and more student loan debt. The median household income for California is 64K per year (household is such a weird term since it could mean a single person, two married people, a whole family, a retired person, etc.). Shit even more amazingly, the median household income for LA county is 57K per year. How in the fuck is a household paying 3K for rent when they can't be taking home more than $3,300 each month? How are they paying for a car, which AAA estimates at an average monthly cost of $700 each month?

The thing with gentrification in south central right now is sellers are getting greedy. They only want to buy low and quickly sell as high as they can which right now the average 3 bedroom normal house that’s been remodeled is going for between 500-650k. There’s a couple of listings that are going beyond that but are staying on the market for a lot longer or they eventually drop the price because the area isn’t technically gentrified yet, it’s still the hood.
Also I’m married which makes just normal living in LA a lot more doable with a second income. I still have friends that stay with their parents because they simply can’t get a job on their own that pays enough for a place, plus bills, and transportation. It’s honestly insane, at this point you need to make pretty much over 100k to live a normal comfortable life with kids here. It’s unfortunately inevitable, you have to adapt or get lost.

I live in Orange County,cities all over me that used to be shit are getting gentrified or have been. Downtown Santa Ana has been a major one the last ten years,but theres still one of largest homeless communities right down from all the hip and chic.
I'm knocking on wood paying my cheapish rent,at least for the area. Yet with all the concerns you have and pointed out Monkey I feep the same,it's a bitch keeping up with the Jones' and even if you don't want to, it's how one basically survives out here.
I have a good chunk of family in South Central, they either live in the ghetto acting the same, but put on a front for the cousins that live with their parents,yet have a glamorus lifestyle with a newer car and trendy ass clothes. Some of them have kids and they're still mysteriously living this awesome life, while I'm cashing in change to gas. Hence why I said credit cards Lurper. If you can swipe it you can't front it...for a little bit haha.
It sucks to believe all those articles saying 'Millenials don't have retirement' but judging by how I see people getting by it's true for the most part. I have only a few friends with jobs that include a pension or 401k type plan. Everyone else just spends til' they're dead,and that used to be me but now Im saving,finally.

Definitely one of those guys that I can’t even look at. I just hate his face. Ranks just below John Hill on overall slappablility.

Also there is reverse white flight where for half a century America was this anomaly where rich people were moving out of big cities to the provinces—or suburbs—out of pretty overt racism considering minirities synonymous w crime. I also think the book “capital in the 21 century” elucidates some of this showing pretty clearly that capital consistently grows faster then income and so basically if you come from inherited wealth and just keep collecting capital as if life was monopoly you basically have to be regular to blow it, while if you earn an income for a living the vast majority of people are just going to scrape by unless you are Lebron James or the Uber guy or something. The meritocracy is all but dead right now. Like 4 of the 10 richest people in the country are wal mart heirs who haven’t worked a day in their life. Also I’ll just add I think that downtown is the most disgusting. I imagine many of the yuppies down there rent but the confluence of extreme wealth and extreme poverty is just gross. I guess Venice has kinda become the same way. I was born there in like a 40 k 900 square foot house that is now 1.7 mil. Unfortunately my parents sold it when I was a kid to get a bigger house in the suburbs away from minirities.

Capitalism making your country great? right.. I laugh everytime I see this. There is so much wrong with your country.
Just look at the examples in this thread. Neighborhoods that have extreme rent, and then just few blocks away is a ghetto thats dangerous to walk trough.
Pure capitalism have created you a country that is extremely class seperated, with run downed cities and so much homeless people and crime. I live in Sweden, which has been built with a democratic reform-socialism (not the revolutionary kind that never worked) - and yes, we have somewhat high taxes. I make around $5000 month and I get out $3530 after taxes are payed, thats a deduction of 29.6%.
What do I get for this? For one, all our cities are very clean, and you wont ever see any run down houses. That doesnt exist here. We have rent control. I own an apartment, about 90m2 and I pay about $800 for the loan for it, and that would be somewhat in the more expensive segment. And I live downtown in one of the major cities here (Gothenburg). Its a very safe place to live as well, and I have never, ever seen a gun, except on a cop of course or in other countries.
We have free healthcare, so I dont need to pay for an insurance. you do have to pay some - a visit to the hospital would cost you about $30 - and this includes anything. A birth, broken leg, helicopter transport etc. Once you, in a year, payed up to $123, everything will be free. Medicine etc. Thats if you over 18, if your a minor its free.
If I have a child, me and my partner will get 10 days of, payed. Just for the birth. When the child is born, you will get 480 days off payed. You can divided this as you want, or dont use them, except 90 days thats reserved to each parent.
We also have 5 weeks payed vacation, by law. And a minimum wage, that never forces anyone to work more then one job to get by, if you work full-time.
If you get layed off, we have a social security net that will help you out until you get a new job. Daycare cost about $120, but gets subsidized so its basically free. Also, university is free. Actually, when entering university you get a loan from the goverment that you pay back once you have an income (4% per year of total income), so you dont need to work on the side if you dont want to when you study.
There is so much more, great public transportation, strong, independent media, transparent politics, equality, workers right.
I have absolutely no education, but still have a great job.
My costs would be apartment - car loan payment - internet - home insurance. This equals about $1400, and leaves me with $2130 left after taxes and fixed expenses, and I then have all the fruits of a socialists society.
We have our challenges and faults like any other country, but the capitalist way of the USA you give so hight appraisals of, is nothing I would ever want.

Its funny, basically a switcheroo. People in the hood get section 8 out in the suburbs, and kids from the suburbs move into the hood cause its cheaper. Its a good deal for everyone exept normal people, people in the hood without section 8 are fucked due to rising prices and people in the suburbs are fucked due to hood niggas bringing the values down. I just stay up in the woods and laugh.. Mikey taylor helping the destruction of america lol.

Hey Jenkins, this unrelated, but I'm curious about Gothenburg. I see it stays rather warm through the winter, so I was wondering if you can skate all winter. Does much snow accumulate? Do you have indoor skate parks, or do you have to skate parking lots/underground?

There are 2 indoor parks, ive been to Bunkeberget, its pretty cool.

Dude is morally corrupt and equates money to success. He’s providing for his family 10 times over by exploiting and displacing low income families. What a great father and role model. Really hope the skate community doesn’t have to see his face around much longer.

Mr.Jenkins' tax rate isn't even that high. About 30% of my total income goes to taxes and as a Californian I get none of the social benefits that he was bragging about.

The fact you are paying 29.6% tax for your income, AND getting all of those benefits is FUCKING INSANE. In America your income tax would be roughly 40% with NONE of that shit.

The fact you are paying 29.6% tax for your income, AND getting all of those benefits is FUCKING INSANE. In America your income tax would be roughly 40% with NONE of that shit.
40% tax on 60k is pretty not accurate

I get so goddamn jealous when I hear about life in the Nordic countries. Too many dumbfuck nationalists in the US ignorant to the fact that there's a better way. All I can do is try and claw my way up to middle class and hope I don't die in a mass shooting along the way.

Dude is morally corrupt and equates money to success. He’s providing for his family 10 times over by exploiting and displacing low income families. What a great father and role model. Really hope the skate community doesn’t have to see his face around much longer.
word that rhymes with baggot
Wow I got baited for a post 2 months ago? Or are you agreeing with me. Either way I would edit this post by not calling out his parenting skills - I have no right to say that. I’m sticking with the morally corrupt part though.

Yeah calling out his parenting skills is a low blow, but investing in the housing market does not make you morally corrupt. you may disagree with the tactics but if its not him it will be someone else and its also not illegal and its not immoral.

Capitalism making your country great? right.. I laugh everytime I see this. There is so much wrong with your country.
Just look at the examples in this thread. Neighborhoods that have extreme rent, and then just few blocks away is a ghetto thats dangerous to walk trough.
Pure capitalism have created you a country that is extremely class seperated, with run downed cities and so much homeless people and crime. I live in Sweden, which has been built with a democratic reform-socialism (not the revolutionary kind that never worked) - and yes, we have somewhat high taxes. I make around $5000 month and I get out $3530 after taxes are payed, thats a deduction of 29.6%.
What do I get for this? For one, all our cities are very clean, and you wont ever see any run down houses. That doesnt exist here. We have rent control. I own an apartment, about 90m2 and I pay about $800 for the loan for it, and that would be somewhat in the more expensive segment. And I live downtown in one of the major cities here (Gothenburg). Its a very safe place to live as well, and I have never, ever seen a gun, except on a cop of course or in other countries.
We have free healthcare, so I dont need to pay for an insurance. you do have to pay some - a visit to the hospital would cost you about $30 - and this includes anything. A birth, broken leg, helicopter transport etc. Once you, in a year, payed up to $123, everything will be free. Medicine etc. Thats if you over 18, if your a minor its free.
If I have a child, me and my partner will get 10 days of, payed. Just for the birth. When the child is born, you will get 480 days off payed. You can divided this as you want, or dont use them, except 90 days thats reserved to each parent.
We also have 5 weeks payed vacation, by law. And a minimum wage, that never forces anyone to work more then one job to get by, if you work full-time.
If you get layed off, we have a social security net that will help you out until you get a new job. Daycare cost about $120, but gets subsidized so its basically free. Also, university is free. Actually, when entering university you get a loan from the goverment that you pay back once you have an income (4% per year of total income), so you dont need to work on the side if you dont want to when you study.
There is so much more, great public transportation, strong, independent media, transparent politics, equality, workers right.
I have absolutely no education, but still have a great job.
My costs would be apartment - car loan payment - internet - home insurance. This equals about $1400, and leaves me with $2130 left after taxes and fixed expenses, and I then have all the fruits of a socialists society.
We have our challenges and faults like any other country, but the capitalist way of the USA you give so hight appraisals of, is nothing I would ever want.

Bra my base salary is 60k, but I have salary straight time and frequently work over that, and almost pull in double. But there was a year I was working 40 a week and just making my base. The tax rate was like 36-40% bro.

Unless you made over 500k you didn't pay 40% in taxes.

who says the houses are sitting empty
no one said they do, but that's how it works around the world. it makes more money to let them sit empty and wait a bit to find rich fucks that pay a few times more than the old tenant profile could. even better when they are the really stupid kind that can't handle their money all that well and agrees to build the place up anew at their own cost. estate agency can oversell a run down property on the grounds that since the poor people are gone now, and there is no space anywhere else, the place is actually worth a lot now, especially considering that future neighbors will be similarly affluent.
if you would rent it out right away or had to by law, you might have to take someone poorer than you wanted and settle for a lower rent, since you can't just wait to sell or rent on your terms. letting estates sit empty also obviously bumps up value, since taking habitable space out of the equation at all makes every other place more valuable, since there is less total space.
it's the same as if you buy a limited sneaker release and let it sit in the box for years until you find some dumbass that pays your ridiculous price. other, cheaper people would have wanted it, but not for your price. in that sense, letting a place sit empty is actually a form of future investment. the estate agent wants to get rid of the place for as high a price as possible, since this will set the mark and future sales in the same neighborhood will take this as a reference. from than on, it doesn't matter how fucked up the place is, it's about the potential to make it more valuable. in that case, estate value isn't determined by the places status. it's about the projected worth of it once it's made nice again and once the neighborhood has a new population of a higher income tier than the one before.
shit is more complex than a game of monopoly where you buy buy buy and build and build. let people fight over the land and outbid each other, wait for your white whale, and maybe you will get back what you haven't made in the time the land sat empty in a very short amount of time, and a lot more total in the same time than you would have made before once you got the ball rolling. at the point when you are done exploiting the area, there's probably another former ghetto or low income district waiting to be exploited in the same way.

You killed it with that sneaker analogy Frank. It's shockingly applicable and immediately understandable.

Jordan peterson(I’m a scientist/engineer/mathematician from a top level school) actually does make sense sometimes because he’s a legitimately good mathematician, but he always talks about how myopic other peoples views are. In reality Peterson’s views tend to be myopic, like he will make a good point that’s in a different direction then others, but not accept that his viewpoint and others viewpoints aren’t mutually exclusive.
As for cultured sir, how many states have you visited in your own damn country? I’ve hit like 40 and I’ve been to 4 countries outside of the US. Somebody who is cultured would not have as myopic a view as you because you would realize how many cultures are conglomerated in this GREAT country.

Being in Canada I think I'm somewhere between the nice Nordic benefits, and the shitty American ideals. Could be worse. I'd also gladly give up 30-40% in taxes for the Nordic quality of life. They got some things figured out.

Bra I know I’m terrible at writing. Every single class in college I had that required writing essays I got a C- in. I actually have two bachelors degrees, one in electrical engineering and the other in computer science. even though I can’t write for shit I can come up with equations that describe our world that no one has ever thought of, and can maintain and write from scratch hundreds of thousands of lines of code. I’m just your typical engineering student lol, bad at everything that doesn’t involve math/science/or programming. Either way, I would never have brought up my education if this dipshit didn’t think the fucking world revolved around his viewpoints. I genuinely hate when people bring up there education because I’ve seen so many kids with masters degrees and PHDs from Harvard, MIT, Caltech that are dogwater engineers/scientists/mathematicians compared to those with natural talent, and act like they are superior because they got some good degree .I guess I got triggered, but bra this motherfucker needs to be put in his place. If smart people don’t stand up then this country is gonna go to shit because you have dipshits like this dude that don’t even know what websites give you actually legit information.

Actually, surströmming, as they call it is of course not mandatory. But its also not as common outside the northen regions. I used to live up in the north when I was a kid, about 150 swedish miles up (Almost polarcircel, northen lights and such) and there it was common. But it only happens once a year, and boy, do that smell.. Never understood it myself. Havent seen it the last 25 years or since I move back south.

Pure capitalism have created you a country that is extremely class seperated, with run downed cities and so much homeless people and crime. I live in Sweden, which has been built with a democratic reform-socialism (not the revolutionary kind that never worked) - and yes, we have somewhat high taxes. I make around $5000 month and I get out $3530 after taxes are payed, thats a deduction of 29.6%.
What do I get for this? For one, all our cities are very clean, and you wont ever see any run down houses. That doesnt exist here. We have rent control. I own an apartment, about 90m2 and I pay about $800 for the loan for it, and that would be somewhat in the more expensive segment. And I live downtown in one of the major cities here (Gothenburg). Its a very safe place to live as well, and I have never, ever seen a gun, except on a cop of course or in other countries.
We have free healthcare, so I dont need to pay for an insurance. you do have to pay some - a visit to the hospital would cost you about $30 - and this includes anything. A birth, broken leg, helicopter transport etc. Once you, in a year, payed up to $123, everything will be free. Medicine etc. Thats if you over 18, if your a minor its free.
If I have a child, me and my partner will get 10 days of, payed. Just for the birth. When the child is born, you will get 480 days off payed. You can divided this as you want, or dont use them, except 90 days thats reserved to each parent.
We also have 5 weeks payed vacation, by law. And a minimum wage, that never forces anyone to work more then one job to get by, if you work full-time.
If you get layed off, we have a social security net that will help you out until you get a new job. Daycare cost about $120, but gets subsidized so its basically free. Also, university is free. Actually, when entering university you get a loan from the goverment that you pay back once you have an income (4% per year of total income), so you dont need to work on the side if you dont want to when you study.
There is so much more, great public transportation, strong, independent media, transparent politics, equality, workers right.
I have absolutely no education, but still have a great job.
My costs would be apartment - car loan payment - internet - home insurance. This equals about $1400, and leaves me with $2130 left after taxes and fixed expenses, and I then have all the fruits of a socialists society.
We have our challenges and faults like any other country, but the capitalist way of the USA you give so hight appraisals of, is nothing I would ever want.
Hey Jenkins, this unrelated, but I'm curious about Gothenburg. I see it stays rather warm through the winter, so I was wondering if you can skate all winter. Does much snow accumulate? Do you have indoor skate parks, or do you have to skate parking lots/underground?
EDIT: (http://www.carbidebur.com/equinedentalsupplies/equine-dental.jpg)
As said, pretty rainy on the winter. Kinda cold, because we are close to the coast, so the wind kills you. Some snow here and there, but that mostly rains of. No outdoors skating during the winter, thats for sure. Only got one park though, the other one closed. Was pretty shitty anyways. The one we have is pretty cool though its inside a mountain. I used to work there, as a teacher at the Gothenburg Skategymnasium. Josef Scott Jatta from Sour Skateboards was one of my students amongst others. Here is an old clip of me there that the students filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb4DzV56bEs

Pretty cool surroundings, but a bit mouldy. Trasher used to have a background image on their website with Rick Howard doing a bs ollie in the same ramp as from the clip above :)

I get so goddamn jealous when I hear about life in the Nordic countries. Too many dumbfuck nationalists in the US ignorant to the fact that there's a better way. All I can do is try and claw my way up to middle class and hope I don't die in a mass shooting along the way.
You can always move to Sweden. I hired an assistent a while back, who make a bit less then me, but still have a house here and supports three children. He is from New Jersey, an older skater who grow up with Harold Hunter, Rodney Torres and these guys, he been in a few 411´s and stuff. He relocated here to restart his life (meet a Swedish chick) and he is super happy here.

An American can always move to Sweden and drown in pussy. Just be careful not to get accused of rape, cause Swedish chicks are very well versed in that stuff.

If you live in sweden they make you eat fermented fish and that’s not baller to me
Actually, surströmming, as they call it is of course not mandatory. But its also not as common outside the northen regions. I used to live up in the north when I was a kid, about 150 swedish miles up (Almost polarcircel, northen lights and such) and there it was common. But it only happens once a year, and boy, do that smell.. Never understood it myself. Havent seen it the last 25 years or since I move back south.
Once when it was time for the seasonal ridicule of our melodic talking brethren from beyond the sund (am Danish) I brought up the craziness of rotten fish that is surströmming. But then I was hardcore corrected and lectured, because apparently you don't eat it directly from the can, but open it under water, which should make it a lot more tolerable. And then you only eat a little bit on top of Wasa and potatoes, which should make it seem more like eating string cheese, which is intense but can also be quite delightful? Was I corrected properly?

I think that’s the first food I’ve heard of where you have to go for a swim to eat it.

The worst part of the social media era is 95% of it are grifters who get popular in some niche domain (skateboarding) and when that ends just start consistently spouting nonsense in front of a camera for $ because they have 500k people who cared about their skateboarding.
Prod is borderline illiterate in that conversation, going on about how if he started at 0 his genius plan is to Uber, then become a Realtor (in this real estate economy?? no volume, lots of dum dums attempting to be middlemen extractors), and suddenly have more rental properties. Mikey Taylor is, unsurprisingly, quite impressed with that 200 IQ answer.
