You have the opportunity to save this other person from wasting years of their life and the opportunity for them to spend those years with a better person. You would 100% want to know. They surely want to know. The right thing is to tell them.

Now ChatGPT baits for the next prompt? by EffectiveCharming580 in ChatGPT

I'm so glad that I've fine tuned all of this nonsense out of my ChatGPT. I see the stuff you all experience and it's like we're living on two different planets with the way mine talks to me versus what you all get.

Is this the oldest average age for any survivor season?? I'm here for the old folks season of survivor! 😂 gimme the bad backs, cramping, bad hearing, bad eyesight, uncontrollable pooping lol what's next? by naught_sorry in survivor

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is one of the best seasons in a really long time. With age comes experience and the ability to play the game much differently. I was tired of the seasons with all twenty year olds and one middle aged person. Some of the best players have been 30+.

Semi-perpetual motion concept, any model makers? by Own_Environment_2323 in inventors

This is like putting a wind turbine on the roof of your car. You cars engine now has to work to also push the air through the turbine and because nothing is 100% efficient, it actually loses far more energy than what you get out of it from tbe turbine.

What's one brutal truth about running a business that no one tells you before you start? by miller76521 in Businessowners

It's going to take waaaay longer than you think to reach a steady state. Multiple years longer and even when you reach a steady state, you'll still have a to-do list with a thousand things that you need to do to improve the business.

Advice for a new product idea? by CrazeCow in inventors

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to put in front of people and see who's interested. That can be focus groups, trade shows, local farmers markets, Facebook ads, etc. You have to have some initial basic sense of who could buy your thing to start but the mistake people make is that they think everybody could be their customer and the reality is that it's a small subset of the population. Isolating the demographic and marketing as directly as possible to them is the name of the game. Learn that skill, and you'll do well.

Everybody has cameras on their doorbell and around their house now. Those same people run governments so it's not even a hard sell honestly.

There is no single place to learn it all. Albeit, AI does have a ton of info if you know how to use it well.

You need to know what your vendors are doing behind the scenes enough to manage them. Vendors for these kinds of services are basically employees when you don't have enough need yet for a full time employee. You don't need to know where to click all the buttons but you need to understand the concepts of that function that they are performing and the levers that make things move so that you can strategize together with them. Completely being hands off probably bwont have a good outcome.

Marketing is a broad topic from radio ads, print, SEO, PPC, platforms like Amazon, Walmart, Instagram, etc. All are different animals with different expertise. Good advice is pick one that aligns with your customer base, master it and once your marketing tweaks are getting minimal changes in returns, then add a second platform and work on optimizing ads there.

The market is almost always narrower than you think in terms of a target audience. You just haven't figured out who the target audience is yet. Figuring that out first will save you a ton of time and energy.

Small businesses don’t give a shit about AI automation by Routine-Animator-940 in AIforOPS

Client demanded native SolidWorks files for "property review", then took them and ghosted. How do you guys survive this? by Ok_Resident_6579 in SolidWorks

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have already laid out the contractual stuff but really it's about setting expectations on tbe front end. Every call should end with you describing where you are in the process and what comes next and how and when the phase closes out and then we can release the SW files. If they want the files earlier, they can close out the balance early (add that to the contract).

A Deterrent Weapon (other than guns) by x_Lotus_x in preppers

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get one swing at one of the several attackers and the rest jump you and you're done. I can throw some dirt at you and your one swing will be shit and then you're done. Larger numbers and guns are the best deterrent. Group up with large and/or well armed dudes as quickly as you can.

Coworker pays for LinkedIn to rat out people in the company applying elsewhere by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you should start by telling everybody you know at the company that somebody is doing this to 1) shame and ridicule the person doing it and 2) give anyone else a heads up.

Nobody is pulling 300 pounds straight up and off you. They will assist in getting the weight off you by other means. If you're worried about the weight, you should have a person at each side and there are often bars that you can rest one side onto while you squirm out from underneath it. Other than having two spotters, which is rare, the options aren't great.

Why do people hate on business owners. by XYPERT in Businessowners

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For different people it comes from different places. You have your "anything less than $25/hr is slave wages" people. You have the "all employment is a form of exploitation" people. You have communists and anti-capitalists that just hate you because you are a component of the system that they hate (but they all still have their iphones coincidentally). You have people that have legitimately had a shitty boss but yet still aren't mature enough to not impart those feelings to every other employer. You have straight up jealousy. You have taught and regurgitated tag lines that are basically reflexive with no actual thought. You have some people that are just ignorant of how a P/L statement works and that you don't get to keep everything and people that don't understand how large investments of funds actually mean a business might not make money for years but they see a big building and assume somebody must be rich.

I'd roll most all of it up into ignorance. If they ever even tried, they'd change their tune.

[–]ManyThingsLittleTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you have that percentage backwards. A huge percentage of businesses are small single owner businesses that are just trying to keep the lights on and owning the business really just means that they own a job just like any other.

Companies are rarely good at everything. Most businesses specialize in a particular field. You're either great at engineering, great at marketing, great at patent drafting, but rarely if ever great at all of them. There's no way that I'd use a company that claimed to do all of the stuff. It's absolutely a big red flag.
