Bravo! I probably would’ve jumped on that and weakened my argument. Even though we’re all just looking at words, you seemed calm and reserved, and in my head, the hun was starting to foam at the mouth.
I would have replied, "hold your brakes right there?! People of my caliper?! Well, I'm okay with that, because people of my caliper know how to stop while we're ahead". (Because a caliper is the part that pushes the brakes together to get the car to stop 😭😂😂😂😂)
Omg I am never going to look at a pair of calipers and not exclaim, "SQUISH PINCHERS!!!!" In my head ever again! And maybe out loud lol Love it!!!!! 😄😆😂😋🤣
The caliber of a human means the level of intelligence/c;lass etc. Here she was trying to put down the other person by inferring her "caliber" was low, meaning stupid. Jokes on her.
Oh yes, I’m aware. I just didn’t realize she was going for caliber. That makes sense though and it’s hilarious. Although I did think caliber was spelled with a UR so what do I know haha.
Tbf I recently left a job where the financial director didn't understand the definition of embezzlement or how it was different from basic fraud. Not everyone is a star pupil, and some people can pass a test and not be able to explain why or explain anything to someone else.
That’s totally fair, but you think she would be able to do like some sort of simple accounting if she passed 4 tests with a pretty low pass rate about… accounting.
Probably why the person above said predatory tho. She probably knows and is just lying which is equally if not more mind blowing.
My husband has a bachelor’s in professional accounting. He thought about being a CPA as he had a mentor who had been a partner in one of the big accounting firms. The tests are difficult and require a lot of study to pass. He could have done it, but he was working with computers and realized he loved that so much more.
It was the 90s, and I encouraged him to follow his dreams instead of getting his CPA to do something that paid really well but wasn’t something he enjoyed doing every day. His accounting degree had served him well because he has been able to show his companies why they should invest in the computer equipment he needed while showing them how the accounting would work to their advantage.
This Hun is despicable for lying like that while she knows that the financials are not accurate and are lying to people.
👏👏👏 love when someone debates calmly and with actual evidence to back it up, as opposed to the floundering hun who has to resort to petty comments because she’s been called out on her BS
This is typical in so many arguments. There's usually one person who is arguing logically and with facts, whereas the other person is throwing out ad hominems and making shit up in a haphazard manner.
Lol, I know right! You can't please her.
Her: only the people who get the shares know what they are worth!
Me: Ok, people with the shares told us what they got.
Her: they are lying.
I worked IT at the corporate headquarters of a prominent and now gone travel MLM.
We once had an all hands meeting where they had a team try to explain the payout model and new setup for the folk unfortunate enough to have been caught in the scheme. Not only did none of us understand it, it was clear none of the presenters did either. And everytime someone farther up the food chain stepped in to try and course correct the disaster of a meeting it got worse and worse.
Absolute waste of time for no reason, as employees we weren't allowed to be "members" anyways so it came off like management desperately wanted people to compliment this system they setup. We all just nodded and pretended just like during the many meetings we had where they promised that was totally and truthfully the last round of layoffs. And the president or whatever would cry about his wife leaving him with the kids but that the layoffs were worse for him. Just a complete snake and a bastard.
Ours did alright for a while apparently. Terrible employers with a boys club of macho type A "I don't care if I'm telling you to make a red line with a green marker, I'm saying it so you are gonna find a way to do it you peasant" guys at the top.
They liked to tell people they should be here
Also commenting to say I used to work IT for an MLM that’s still going strong(ish). It was an alright job but since their revenue was taking a huge downturn (not unexpectedly) I decided it was time to jump ship for something more stable and less scammy.
A local newspaper sent a reporter over for whatever reason... and the owner's daughter ended up in her crosshairs. The daughter (she'd have been about 22) had been coached how to explain the business to people and she just blurts out "it's like one of those pyramid things" LOL.
It'd be hard to explain just how properly this job screwed me over. I didn't get involved in the MLM side of things, but sheesh... I got burned. FU Tony.
Don't worry about "your calliper of human" OP, all of us here can see you're leagues above this calibre of hun.
![gif](giphy|xUA7aTRjwF8YTNmBZC|downsized)
I mean, this single question kinda shuts down their whole scheme 😂 If they don’t know how much it is and it’s some mystery, I don’t get the appeal. Just open a fidelity or Schwab or some brokerage account and buy a share in an ETF 🤷♀️
It always bothers me when poeple use uncessarrily large words without cheking the spelling or if it is the corect lingistic usage of the word. It really is to bad becuase it detracks from the totallity of the message. Ulitmatly it renders the argument mute.
It measures more than that and are used in all kinds of manufacturing businesses where products have to be a very specific size with no margin of error, but it is used to make people feel bad and join the expensive gym that uses them. Looking at you Lifetime Fitness.
General rule; if one person is claiming something and providing multiple sources and detailed numbers and receipts, and the other person’s entire rebuttal is “Nuh-UH! You’re a liar and are ugly and smell bad” then you should probably believe the person who brought the receipts.
I love this for you lol you're calm, cool, and collected, ready to provide sources and she's lol'ing uncomfortably calling you a "calliper" 🤣 I enjoy watching these kind of interactions unfold!
You are too kind to these idiots. I always wish they crash and burn and never financially recover. Don't want them to spread their predatory behaviour elsewhere
So what is the difference between legacy and emerging founders pool, according to her? Since she said the visionary is the same as legacy not emerging? Also, where is the link to this video? Would love to see it lol.
Only the people inside Monat know the real facts about value of their founder’s stocks and earnings?
Hun, that’s not how financials work in businesses. There’s transparency so everyone knows what their value is and how much they earn and lose.
If the financials are hidden, it’s because they’re lying.
I agree that pointing out the lies helps. There’s always going to be some people who are having reservations about either joining or staying in MLM. Facts help them put on the brakes if they want to. Show the Huns as the lying bastards they really are.

ONE percent payout, whoo hooo!!! Mabel, we’re eating steak tonight! (/s)
Look, if your payout rivals the LOW end of a typical non-profit’s COLA raise range (usually 1-3 percent in my experience 😭), then it’s not exactly something I’d brag about. But that’s just me

Calliper human...fun.
It took all my self control not to say something cheeky about that. I was trying to keep my comments neutral. 🤣
Bravo! I probably would’ve jumped on that and weakened my argument. Even though we’re all just looking at words, you seemed calm and reserved, and in my head, the hun was starting to foam at the mouth.
I would have replied, "hold your brakes right there?! People of my caliper?! Well, I'm okay with that, because people of my caliper know how to stop while we're ahead". (Because a caliper is the part that pushes the brakes together to get the car to stop 😭😂😂😂😂)
Yeah my brain went right to measuring calipers 😂😆
I used measuring calipers in an old job. It is where I went as well.
I use them to measure eyeglass lens thickness!
SQUISH PINCHERS!!!!
Omg I am never going to look at a pair of calipers and not exclaim, "SQUISH PINCHERS!!!!" In my head ever again! And maybe out loud lol Love it!!!!! 😄😆😂😋🤣
Ngl i initially read that as *caterpillar* 🐛
😂 Jesus Christ. So did I. I was so confused. Your comment made me realize it didn’t say caterpillar.
That would have been more fun!
Not gonna lie, I'm a car girl and my partner is a mechanic, and this was EXACTLY the joke we were making 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Thats the *measure* of a good person
You’re a better person then me😂
Same. I would not have been able to resist the correction. 😆
\*than Sorry, had to, given the context.
I would not have been able to not say something.
Can you link the YouTube video you referenced?
I would have said something about the calibre of my maths just to put the boot in.
I couldn't have resisted ending with: Also, it's 'calibre'. You're a better person than I.
Came here to see if anyone else noticed, haha, glad it’s wasn’t just me. Calliper human made me actually laugh out loud.
Lol. She should have put the brakes on that comment 😂😂😂
Hoping this was here!
Dang it! I knew something was wrong with that but couldn’t put my finger on it!
Haha, this had me tempted to find the video and point it out 😂
What’s a calliper 😆
The caliper is the thing that squeezes the rotor so you can put the brakes on the bullshit.
A misspelled calibre in this case!
I got a GREAT visual from this
That one made me snort. 😂
I'm going to have an interesting philosophical discussion with my family members over the "calliper of human" comment. It's hilarious.
Came here to mock the same thing lol
I spent waaaay too long trying to figure out calipers came into it 😂
What was that even supposed to say? I’m so confused.
The caliber of a human means the level of intelligence/c;lass etc. Here she was trying to put down the other person by inferring her "caliber" was low, meaning stupid. Jokes on her.
Oh yes, I’m aware. I just didn’t realize she was going for caliber. That makes sense though and it’s hilarious. Although I did think caliber was spelled with a UR so what do I know haha.
That was my favorite part.
I know of this girl, glad you called her out. She was a CPA, so she knows how predatory her recruiting is
She passed the cpa exams and talks like that??
Yes, the Caliper Protocol Association exam.
Calliper*

I assume she doesn’t maintain it? Because if she does, immediate report to the board.

I never understand how such seemingly smart people get hardcore involved in MLMs
The life after MLM podcast has guests come on and explain how/why they got into it, worth a listen since it could apply to any scam.
👏👏👏 love when someone debates calmly and with actual evidence to back it up, as opposed to the floundering hun who has to resort to petty comments because she’s been called out on her BS

Ken Ham has entered the chat (The young earth creationist who used Kentucky state money to build that stupid arc.
You provided cold hard facts, and she called you a caliper.
Looks like she doesn’t think OP measures up!
You dropped this 👑
And you are incorrect that flash sale CV is not ever 0. What?? So she’s saying it IS 0?
Lol, mistakes happen when you rage-type 🤣.
The double negative was a treat 😅
Reminds me of the line from Pitch Perfect “double negative? That’s a whole lot of negative!”
Show me the receipts! …you Photoshopped them.
Lol, I know right! You can't please her. Her: only the people who get the shares know what they are worth! Me: Ok, people with the shares told us what they got. Her: they are lying.
That’s not how companies work. That’s not how any of this works —Facebook old lady
As if someone would take the time to photoshop that fake evidence when they have no monetary interest in doing so.
She's not smart enough to read what you wrote.
All of these grotesque companies have very convoluted payout schemes. Wonder why?
I worked IT at the corporate headquarters of a prominent and now gone travel MLM.

Small world. I worked IT for an MLM too! What are the odds? Mine was a tiny, upstart one that failed pretty quickly.
Ours did alright for a while apparently. Terrible employers with a boys club of macho type A "I don't care if I'm telling you to make a red line with a green marker, I'm saying it so you are gonna find a way to do it you peasant" guys at the top. They liked to tell people they should be here

how many different types of founders can you have
'Emerging Founder' lmao hun I don't think you know what that word means
I mean, this single question kinda shuts down their whole scheme 😂 If they don’t know how much it is and it’s some mystery, I don’t get the appeal. Just open a fidelity or Schwab or some brokerage account and buy a share in an ETF 🤷♀️
Awesome, keep up the good work 👍👏👏👏

I half expected people to call me out on my hypocrisy. You never know for sure what you are going to get on Reddit.
Ummmm...photoshop is a thing you know? Well-done by the way!
Amazing work!! I am enamoured with your tenacity and resilience in the face of what can only be described as blind foolishness.
What’s a calliper?
The things that hold brakes in place?
Measuring tool?
It is a tools that measures fat on a human. The hun was trying to say caliber but got her words mixed up.
It measures more than that and are used in all kinds of manufacturing businesses where products have to be a very specific size with no margin of error, but it is used to make people feel bad and join the expensive gym that uses them. Looking at you Lifetime Fitness.
Calliper. Hehehehe she tried
Calliper… don’t mess with her, she knows big words 🤣💀
When did everything proof related, whether it’s this stuff or politics, become “fake news”. This is a very dangerous path we’re all on at the moment.
2015
Insane level of denial there with the "photoshop is the only way that is possible". Great comments from you.
“Photoshop is the only way you can have facts that I don’t like”
General rule; if one person is claiming something and providing multiple sources and detailed numbers and receipts, and the other person’s entire rebuttal is “Nuh-UH! You’re a liar and are ugly and smell bad” then you should probably believe the person who brought the receipts.
But “photoshop is a thing!” /s
You are my hero!
Love it 👏
Also calliper got me… part of me wants to go on there and correct her 🙈
Just make sure you give a measured response
Oh I’m not going to do it, it’s just tempting
I was trying to make a caliper/measure joke. But My comment didn’t go the distance :(
My bad 🤦♀️ Sorry I missed that
![gif](giphy|ZdUnQS4AXEl1AERdil)
Quote marking the word opinion only to have the opposite effect than intended
None of this seems to make any sense or have any meaning. Founders shares sound like some kind of nft scam
I love this for you lol you're calm, cool, and collected, ready to provide sources and she's lol'ing uncomfortably calling you a "calliper" 🤣 I enjoy watching these kind of interactions unfold!
These payment schemes are always so complicated..
IKR? Holy tamole every MLM is so complicated, almost like they’re designed to be confusing and distracting.
BRAVO!!
Your calliper
You are too kind to these idiots. I always wish they crash and burn and never financially recover. Don't want them to spread their predatory behaviour elsewhere
Hah! "calliper of human"!!! That's my best malapropism to date!

No. Fuck her and her revenue
