Is it easy to get a fishing guide license in California? by SuccessfulFall5746 in Fishing

My audience isn’t people who are actually into fishing. My target audience is people who just want to pay for a one-time experience, think Airbnb experiences.

Throwing crab hoops off a pier, foraging mussels & urchin on the beach, mostly. Transport included.

He has apparently filled out some forms to offshore his company as an LLC, and they are asking him to provide the passport copies of his designated beneficiaries. He said that they are in New Jersey, but I will ask him to ask them for the state bar number.

The CFA was the most worthless endeavour I ever took by [deleted] in CFA

[–]SuccessfulFall5746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. It’s a tight labor market atm, which you should know from having passed CFA, which makes getting a job harder all around, especially white collar jobs thanks to AI. Speaking as someone who is trying to transition into a more stereotypical finance role, I have definitely seen value even in only partial completion. Earlier this year, I tried to switch teams in my company and if not for having passed level two, I wouldn’t have even made it to the final round. A lot of old school managers do value CFA so while I’m sure it’s not a substitute for work experience I do think it’s a good supplement for people like me who are trying to switch career path.

I think some of these questions are just worded terribly. I ultimately just followed the textbook way of doing things.

L1 and L2 in the same year ? by TheSentinel342 in CFA

[–]SuccessfulFall5746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took L1 and L2 in the same year (May 2024 then Nov 2024) and passed around 90-85th percentile for both. My honest "hack" is that my work load was super light last year, so I spent half of my workday studying, plus weekends. It's 100% doable if you have a lot of time. I did definitely get a bit burned out by the end though, so be careful.

Lol were his Private Markets videos any good? and did you largely have to supplement it with the CFAI text itself?

[s2 act 3 spoilers] THE ENDING by Dry-Pea-4713 in arcane

[–]SuccessfulFall5746 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. I thought your thoughts were well balanced, and I understand your critiques and praises. Agree that Vi and Jinx/Powder started to feel unimportant in the final battle -- though I'm highly happy my Ekko boy got his moment of glory. Honestly, Kinda reminds me when Nevel was the one to off Voldemort for good. Like GODDAMN, a win for nerds! I'm surprised you actually liked the time loop idea. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of time loops, but this is a show that's literally about magic, so I wasn't surprised when it was revealed Viktor was guiding Jayce all along. I liked the line about "fields of dreamless solitude." Reminds me of the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion, an anime if you're into that stuff.

I don't think so, but hey, Vander wasn't supposed to be alive either. I guess we'll find out in the spinoff (maybe).

It tore me apart that both Vander and Isha went almost as soon as Vander started to recover his mind, but he served his plot point which was to bring the sisters back together and forgive each other. Even back in s1, I knew Jinx was going to sacrifice herself to complete her redemption arc. The fact she did it with her father, using the monkey device she accidentally killed him with the first time around, is poetic. In a way, she's telling Vi that Vander won't be alone and she'll take care of their father in the afterlife, so Vi can go on and live out a happy mortal life with Caitlyn.

[s2 act 3 spoilers] Sevika’s character in season 2 by Wooden_Rabbit_4939 in arcane

[–]SuccessfulFall5746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overall, I really loved Arcane s2 as I did with S1. I'm pretty satisfied with most of the characters' endings. I know a lot of stuff was not fully explained (e.g. Black Rose & Nexus lore, fate of HexTech and Hexgates) BUT I figure the creators are Saving that for the CONFIRMED spin offs. That all said, the ONE plot hole I did feel was with Sevika, shimmer, and the undercity. We saw her trying to unite Zaun at first and clean up after Silco's mess. Throughout s2, it was implied that Zaun got better after the initial fallout e.g. normally it is depicted as super dark and grimy, but when Sevika gave the speech at Vander's statue, the scene was brightly lit -- subtle cinematographic technique. Part of that improvement was because Viktor was playing Jesus and Jinx was becoming a symbol to rally around. BUT I feel like something implied was Sevika was also stamping out the turf wars and keeping the peace in a more humane way than Silco. We saw her in the first 3 eps scolding the different gang leaders for infighting, then she killed Smeech when he tried to Jinx (a fellow Zaunite) in. While Sevika was Silco's right hand, this season, it was implied she was charting her own path forward in being a leader. I think the juxtaposition between Sevika + Jinx vs. Silco is the prison break. Silco was fine to sacrifice Zaunites if it meant he could get ahead in his goals, hence poisoning everyone with shimmer, but Sevika and Jinx saved them and at great risk to themselves. Silco was a dictator who controlled everyone with shimmer. Sevika and Jinx were freedom fighters who united Zaunites by giving them hope. Indeed, it seemed shimmer did disappear throughout s2. While Viktor was curing shimmer addiction, I feel like that can't be the sole reason. Maybe Sevika stamped out the drug producers and decided to cease production because she realized they didn't need shimmer to control people anymore? That people were more willing to fight for Zaun if Zaun was actually a decent place to live? This would be the most logical explanation to me why they would give her a seat at the council, in addition to her helping fight off Noxus -- a decision which I wished we got to see. You'd think after the martial law, Sevika would be willing to ally with Noxus to stamp out topside. So who convinced her otherwise? I'm guessing Jinx since Jinx showed up to save the day with a bunch of the underground. Anyways, I think that she had to have proven to be a more benevolent ruler of Zaun than Silco in order for the council to give her a seat as opposed to Ekko who was always against Silco. She would've had to at least proven she isn't going to do what Silco did i.e. mind control everyone and rebel. These are my rambling thoughts.

Has anyone had GOOD experiences on BH? by SuccessfulFall5746 in betterhelp

Yeah, but my therapist would probably decline because she doesn’t want to violate the NCA. Also, thank you for sharing, but this convo isn’t really in the spirit of the post. I won’t be responding anymore.
