what would it sell?

where would it be based?

would it have any ethics?

e.t.c

I would build a factory which sold degradable plastic bags.
It is practical and good for the environment, lol.

which sells bb cake and jam and maybe pancakes.

Ive faced many ethical dilemmas.

I'm my own boss and provide a service rather than goods.
Although you still have to decide "Do I make the Internet a
worse place?" .. My standpoint is that you couldn't make it
much fucking worse so anything goes.

i'm interested in internet reselling. it is what my mother
does and she is her own boss and makes a fine living. she
started on ebay just selling junk on the side, but now
resells home decor on her own store site.

basically you just get feeds from wholesale/manufacturers
and organize it into a website. you process the orders,
provide the service and maintain the site and that's it.
you now work from home. don't have to carry any stock on
hand, you just process the order and it ships from the
manufacturer.

being in the same house all the time... :/

Yeah, that'd be cool. Like a sensory deprivation tank?

I kinda not sure if I see the point in those. Why not just
meditate- that would just be forcing yourself to meditate,
rather than trying naturally.

I don't like the idea very much, but I have never really
tried it, so I can't really say.

That sounds pretty darn good. I don't like the idea of
supporting MS, but still, in this world I guess it is a
realistic and practical consideration.

Have you thought about this before, or did you come up with
these ideas just for this thread?

Hm, that sounds like a good dream you have there! ^^

But the thing is that with dreams, to live them out is to
kill them, so be careful!

it'd still be fucking hard and I
wouldn't enjoy it.

Rather than doing something you don't enjoy and trying to
make a lot of money, why not get a less high paying job that
you do enjoy? :)
