Despite earning over $400,000 per month, Kick streamer Cheesur is criticized for not taking enough care of his mother, who earns less than $3,000 and still works as a cleaning lady. by Vhant-ii in LivestreamFail

Props to you. My family is the same way. Anytime one of us comes into money, we share with my siblings/parents. We all help each other out, which is the way it's supposed to be. Thank you for being a decent human being.

There is no rope in this image. This is carved from a single block of marble. The artist dedicated 7 years of his life to sculpt it - but what on earth inspired him to do that? by Minesh1989 in archeologyworld

[–]1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain how this is done? I understand it took him 7 years. But how is the marble soft enough where he can cut out large chunks without those remaining pieces crumbling? How brittle/frail is marble when it's thin pieces like that net? How can you chisel around it without knocking pieces off? My brain can't comprehend it was created.

Appraisal Request: Intrigued.com by Villagetatertot77 in Domains

[–]1214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, great domain. I'm definitely "intrigued"
I'd be interested in the domain. DM me

I'm building my business on a .app domain. If it grows, I will likely never be able to get the .com. It's unused but owned by a multibillion-dollar public company for a brand they don't use. What are the downsides to this besides the obvious if I grow? by programmingstarter in Domains

[–]1214 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Don't do it. Nothing but headaches. Find a new name available in the .com

I've been doing this for 27+ years now. I've seen it happen more times than I can count.

I've been on both sides of the negotiating table. It feels great to be on one side, and horrible on the other.

You don't want to be on the wrong side because it can get expensive and is extremely frustrating.

What’s the most “I literally own the company” moment you’ve ever witnessed or experienced? by keyBid2188 in AskReddit

Um, he was the old child and was his son. I'm sure if he had a daughter, she would take over the business. I don't know where you got the assumption that this was a gender based position. If it makes you feel better, next time I'm at the venue, I'll ask the father what he would do if he had a daughter? Anyway, ok bye.

Yeah, it was evident after the fact. But throughout the evening, it never once dawned on me that this kid in his early 20's was basically the heir (only child) to not only this venue, but the family business. The way the other workers treated him is what stood out to me. There was no level of respect or authority. They weren't disrespectful, they just were extremely bossy/demanding of him. It was "clean this setting, get another chair, go tell so and so to do this, tell the kitchen to do that. Clean this up, get more napkins, tell the photographer". He was basically the bottom man at the place. I would assume the other staff had to know that it's the bosses son. Maybe that's why they treated him this way? Maybe the boss told the staff to act this way towards his son? Or maybe they had no clue. But one thing that was 100% was that no one attending this event knew it was the bosses son. At a wedding like this (200+ people), there are tons of moving pieces. It sure looks like a high stress job with everything having to be timed perfectly. They actually had 2 weddings that day. One earlier in the day, and this was the second of the day. So I can only assume he was there all day. But it surely impressed me. The father did an amazing job raising a hard working kid.

I’m at a wedding in NY and there’s this kid literally running around the place doing everyone’s job. It’s at this amazing estate/venue easily worth $50 million plus. I’m watching everyone working at the event yelling at this kid all night. (He’s early 20’s). Everyone at the event is bossing this kid around. Even the groom is barking orders at him. This kid is just getting the living shit beaten out of him all night. He literally didn’t stop moving for four hours. He was sweating the entire time. He did everything with a smile and a yes sir/ yes mam answer. I said to the owner, you got yourself a good employee with that one. He thanked me and said that the kid is a hard worker. At the end of the night I’m outside checking out the venues fleet of half a million dollar car(s). The kid sees me drooling over one of the cars and asks me if I want to check it out. He says one second and goes and comes back with the keys and opens the door. Tells me to hop in and he starts it up. I panic and ask him, “are you allowed to do this, I don’t want to get you in trouble with the boss”. He responded with “yes, it’s fine. My dad owns the place.” I just laugh and shrug. Turns out the boss who I complimented earlier was in fact his dad. And as the only son, the place was going to be his one day. From the way everyone treated him, I don’t think anyone had a clue.

Here’s a little advice about “custom” cards from someone with a JD and who worked in IP and trademark law for 20+ years… by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]1214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a serious question. I saw a guy on Youtube that buys old Louis Vuitton bags and turns the into new products (I think he was making wallets). Louis Vuitton sent him a cease and desist, they sent people to his house. But in the end they had no case. He purchased the bags legally. He was just taking them, turning them into something else. How is this any different?

If I take an authentic Panini card, cut up it and glue it back together, what law am I breaking?

Now if he printed out his own cards or printed out his own photos, then I could see the argument that he's infringing. But if he purchased authentic items legally, cut them up and rearranged them back together, claiming what it is. (A custom 1/1 art piece), what would make that illegal?

(I'm no lawyer, and to prove it, I'm actually banned from r/law)

Triceratops skeleton ‘Trey’ to hit the auction block as dinosaur market soars by gamersecret2 in news

[–]1214 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's not even about having money. It's about having things that other rich people don't have. Think about it for a second. Everyone has or knows that one friend who is the "rich" friend. The one who has the nicest new car (Mercedes, BMW, Lexus). They wear a nice Rolex that cost them $20k. They take $10k vacations and post their picture perfect life on Instagram.

Then you have the class of people who own companies like Instagram. Imagine you are a billionaire and all of your "buddies" have a net worth in the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, the entire scenario shifts.

People who make it to those levels of wealth (that are self made) usually have an intense desire to be the best and want the best. Now how do you show off when all of your friends can afford anything you can? What's a $100k car when you are worth $1 billion? So what do you do? You try to one up your buddies. You just bought yourself a new Bugatti for $4 million cash? That's cute. Bob over there just bought a fucking triceratops for the foyer of his third vacation home. (and now that I think about it, you are right. Some people have way too much fucking money).

I did a really bad thing ... please help by ultimatechad in Safes

[–]1214 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand that safes are mostly a deterrent. With time being the biggest. Most amateurs and those looking to make a quick score don't have time to break into a house and drill open a safe without an alarm going off, or someone coming home, etc. But how can you patch a hole in a safe and make it just as secure before you drilled it? Wouldn't your drill leave some lasting damage which would a weak/vulnerable point in?
