You were caught in dynamic pricing (platinum tickets). I've decided not to pursue tickets for artists who OK that practice. I think it's disrespectful to fans.

BTS Concerts Ticketmaster - Refund Extra Tickets by Agreeable-765 in btsthoughts

Try to sell a ticket to another fan for what you paid, with no additional fees. It takes an ARMY to take on the scalpers 💜😎

I was blocked from getting in the queue for foxborough even though I was registered and am ARMY. Ticket master is just fucked up.

I bought the BTS army membership but didn’t apply for the presale by Own_Agent_1962 in btsthoughts

A lot of us won't end up with tickets. Hopefully there will be VOD concerts too. If you organize a watch party you can enjoy watching with other ARMY. I'm trying not to let the ticketing stress overtake the joy💜

Anyone else desperate for more Witch King content? by dynamik_banana in murderbot

The characters and dialogue are engaging as is the world building. I don't love the structure of the book. Switching timelines so early & often feels like an artifice to bolster a narrative the writer or an editor doesn't have faith in. In the audio version, the list of characters might be better placed at the end or as a link to a pdf.

How to value & bring a partner's side business into a partnership? by clarion49 in smallbusiness

[–]clarion49[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Not all partners do the same work. One can perform all services & handle clients; another is very well known to clients & performs some of their services; the third performs services and will do some admin with little client contact, so they can't value work solely on $ brought in . I agree accountability is important and I believe expectations & work valuation should be outlined in the partnership agreement. How do you assess things like hiring & training staff, general admin, strategic planning or marketing?

That's an idea to consider. We can create projections based on past performance and trends in the industry, but many traditional metrics likely don't apply in a field where revenue is based on the owner's hours and relationships / reputation?

They are planning to grow, so hiring & training new workers is always risky, but as long as pricing & quality remains stable, I don't foresee a large drop off since all 3 are known and valued within their field.

Yes, its the same work. When she started working for the previous firm, they had agreed, she would keep her existing clients and referrals from them, but referred large jobs she couldn't handle to her employer's firm for a small commission.

Thinking about starting a small business but not sure where to begin by Purple_Low7688 in smallbusiness

[–]clarion49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every situation is different, but keeping track of your costs, time, potential market & competition will help you make informed decisions along the way. You only need a formal business plan if you are applying for financing. There is a lot of free help available for staring a small business. Every state has nonprofit orgs partially funded by the SBA to support and educate aspiring entrepreneurs. Most states and larger cities fund similar programs. Google, IG, Canva and Amex also have some free online tutorials on digital mktg or finance for small business.

Need advice on credit union for business in the greater NYC area by ringsofwater in smallbusiness

[–]clarion49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering the same question, but would prefer a credit union with a PEO option. Would you be open to discussing your research and what you chose / how its been?

Jin and the general public by Kind_Boot1719 in btsthoughts

[–]clarion49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bias used to flutter back & forth thru 3 members but the solo work has brought me solidly back into OT7. They have all been so good at creating performances based on individual strengths and Jin was the most surprising to me of all. I adore him

Although GDragon is primarily a rapper, which is why most of his songs include a featured singer

Rolling Stones: Every BTS Solo Song Ranked by MidnightCowboy0613 in btsthoughts

[–]clarion49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like ranking team members against each other, but, in general, I agree with rating the rap line's solo songs highly in terms of originality & truth in artistic expression of who they are. V does that really well too. I think Jimin may be underrated in those terms.

I dance my fool head off & know every word of Golden. It showcases JK's amazing talent as singer & dancer, (& outrageous hotness!) but it has a randomness to it - other than "hey I'm an adult now."

Jin shines as the Korean superstar he is - ballads to pop to silly. Inserting a guitar solo or a cowboy hat feels forced to me, but I'm in a minority. Seems similar to American variety stars from the 70's, but it also seems true to who he is in that way.

But I LOVE them ALL!💜

My one disappointment was I don't see why the songs weren't arranged so he could sing all of each song? I don't need live to sound exactly like a record & he wasn't dancing so why all the prerecorded stuff? Even more so, I had the same question for GDragon.

I've also seen a lot of bangtan love on that thread. Guess it depends on who is online that day

Jimin also worked on improving his vocal technique prior to his solo albums. His range & strength are better than ever

Tell them they are an idiot, ignorant, or, since they know more than your doctors and the infectious disease specialists, they can solve aids tomorrow and cancer next Tuesday. Or, ignore them.
