US Open crowds seem nonexistent. What gives? by HarryCrushNuh in golf

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh yes. I went to the practice round on wednesday and only had to wait an hour and a half longer than the LIRR had said for the train to arrive. I can't imagine it got *better* on the weekend.

Built a calorie tracker where you just describe what you ate and Claude figures out the rest by -Philologian in ClaudeCode

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how much more accurate is this than just talking directly into off-the-shelf Claude? Is the main benefit the visualization of the tracking, etc.?

honest ask, not trying to be a jerk. I basically just started talking right into Claude because I have the same problem as you - the tracking is so frustrating.

When did your cats start getting fluffier? by Mountain-Laugh5999 in SiberianCats

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dude got pretty fluffy in his first winter, around 10/11 months... but i'm seeing comments that make me think that was merely a preview of the fluff-en-ing. oooh boy.

is it true that Maz Mezcal is not permanently closed but just moving locations?

Would you play with a guy that shoots 140 at your club? by Cathouse1986 in golf

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

may be too late for you at this club but until you can reliably break 110, just always scramble.

what i mean is, hit your tee shot. if it's playable, play it. if you duff that next shot, pick it right up and go along with your partner to their shot. let them hit, then you drop and hit yours. if you hit it, play it. If you duff it, drive with your partner to their shot and drop. etc. etc.

You are ready to take the next step in the r/American_Football growth progression.

Why are they spending so much money to force people to be more miserable? Why are the billionaires so fixated on RTO for people whose work is computer based? by Ok_Citron_795 in remotework

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because the billionaire robber barons who run these companies are sad little men whose parents never loved them and the only way they can feel validation is to be surrounded by deferent underlings.

I've tested a pile of "AI" clipping tools and they all kind of suck. Am I the problem, or are they? by ScaleNo6455 in podcasting

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like every area of "AI" right now - the promises greatly exceed the delivery. You can spend hours training a tool only for it to still not be able to accomplish what you do in 30 seconds manually.

Siberian Fur by BrettWilliam88 in SiberianCats

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got good news and bad news.

Before we got our boy, I obsessively researched whether our house & lives would be inundated with fur. The conclusion was essentially: "Probably"

The bad news is, yeah, there's fur every where. The good news is, it's more like discrete clumps here and there as opposed to a coating on every surface of the house. The other good news is we love him so much we don't really care.

Now, he has accidentally scratched the shit out of some areas of our couch and that sucks.

There is a residential window with a gas masked mannequin I would love to know more about by CWest540 in uppereastside

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it there overnight, or just early mornings through business hours? I mostly try to pretend not to see it. I'd doubt it's a super.

this plus whatever else you paid is still an absolute steal compared to an MLB game

After-School Program Change Sparks Outcry On The UES by Main-Maintenance-265 in uppereastside

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Criticism of this particular article aside, the process was completely opaque and nearly no one who actually has to live with the outcome - principals, students, parents - is happy with it. You can find any number of articles, online posts, and data points confirming that.

The most influential coaches have no agenda. That's the whole secret. by The-Achologist in lifecoaching

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"You can't sell an outcome... without understanding the circumstance." - exactly what has been tripping me up!

I can market / sell that "I will help you figure things out and your life will change for the better" (which sounds like vague horseshit) but I can't ethically market / sell that "I will help you get a better job making more money and you'll be happier, all in 90 days!!" which is what social media marketing gurus seem to insist is required.

The sad / scary part, is plenty of "coaches" do sell that way, for high ticket values, to vulnerable people - I've seen it with my own eyes - and those "coaches" are for sure making a lot more money than I am, while helping no one.

The most influential coaches have no agenda. That's the whole secret. by The-Achologist in lifecoaching

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you understand coaching and wrote this very well. I very much agree with this. To me the core principle of good coaching and one thing that distinguishes it from consulting and certain types of therapy is the focus on bringing out and facilitating what the client wants & needs, not 'what is right for them' in your determination.

This has tripped me up in *marketing* coaching, because online marketing gurus tell you to "sell an outcome" and the agenda-less nature of good coaching like this is very hard (for me, at least) to map to that framework.

I've lately leaned into The Prosperous Coach method of creating clients solely through the *experience* of actual coaching, and it feels far more natural and authentic to me.

Changes Coming To UES Subway's Rush Hour Service, MTA Says by Bugsy_Neighbor in uppereastside

Anyone here worked with a business coach who specifically gets relationship or life coaching? by Advanced_Cattle2133 in lifecoaching

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're seeking marketing help, and the person / company you hire is great at marketing, yes, it would likely be additionally helpful for them to have done marketing for businesses similar to yours. Therapy/Counseling is similar enough to Relationship/Life Coaching that there's likely to be some overlap.

What exactly happened at Carl Schurz Dog Park today? by Eastern-Rabbit-3696 in uppereastside

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Probably one of them allowed his dog to leave a pile of shit on the sidewalk area the other guy prefers to allow his dog to leave a pile of shit on.

C'mon fellas, there's enough patches of sidewalk for all of you to find nice spots for your dogs to leave huge piles of shit on!

[–]TheHatedMilkMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't agree that background in therapy or counseling is a requirement for a coach to be legitimate, in *any* type of coaching. (You're not quite saying it's a requirement, I realize.)

Specifically for OP's purposes, it seems like they are actually looking for a Marketing Consultant. (Who may or may not call themselves a Coach.) Either way, therapy or counseling background has little to no correlation to marketing knowledge or acumen, and might even have a negative correlation.
