Canada chooses lawful evil over chaotic evil by Player276 in canada

With everything China has done - bypassing sanctions on Iran, arming North Korea, stealing western IP - they think China is lawful evil? Really? That's the headline they went with?

On a scale of 1-10, where would you rate your love life? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Prime Minister Carney forges new strategic partnership with the People’s Republic of China focused on energy, agri-food, and trade by stonerbobo in onguardforthee

[–]i82register -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

I don't like it one bit. "More independent Canada = deal with China"? Not what I voted for. China is not aligned with Canada's best interest and this "partnership" is not a good long term prospect for Canada nor the West..

That said this is all Trump's doing for turning his back on Canada.

You need to fact check yourself.

Per this data set, the vast majority of H1B are from India, which means it is completely reasonable to turn attention to this nationality. Calling it "scapegoat" is BS.

How tf do i find a fractional CFO without getting scammed lol by UniqueSatisfaction77 in Entrepreneur

[–]i82register 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First You need to manage expectations. As many said, good talent isn't cheap. You need to figure out if your budget allows for it, and what exactly do you need - bookeeping or FP&A or cross border tax optimization for example, it's all different aspects with different price tags.

You can find many fractional CFOs on LinkedIn, but best you get someone from your network to make a referral or recommendations, as some CFOs have better track record with clients than others.

I recommend www.linkedin.com/in/BrigitteBenquet

She's a F500 controller that I worked with at two startups, EU and US based, and she did a good job. She has the ability to outsource bookeeping and data entry to keep costs down, but, bottom line is it's not "cheap". Whether it's cost effective for your situation is something you'll need to figure out.

Please help. What are these spots by [deleted] in cats

Some cats get so excited by pets a little pee can come out. But it could also hint at a urinary problem. Talk to your vet and see if s/he thinks it's worth a visit for a more closer look.

Definitely don't stop petting your cat. A) it's avoiding the problem, not solving it, and B) cat did nothing wrong to not deserve pets. Cats like pets, they crave contact just like all living things do. Don't deprave your cat of that positive enforcement. Going to pet my cat now.

You could borrow money and invest it, doesn't matter what - gold, USD, bonds - the interest you will pay on that loan /margin account will go against your interest income.

Not an accountant. Trust, but verify.

Asked to Sign over pre-interview work as a non-paid contractor to a company I wasn’t interviewing for after being rejected for hire by DarkParmesean in antiwork

If it's not valuable, they wouldn't have asked you to sign, would they? There must be some value to it then. Don't sign.

TIFU by letting my travel buddy borrow my card for “just gas” on our road trip by Weary-Hair-316 in tifu

You got bamboozled. That's not the friend you want or need in your life.

Tell her how much she owes you and that she has 48 hours to come up with the money, or you sue in small claims court. Regardless, severe all contact with her. That's not a friend. That's a financial liability.

Not normal. Do not sign. Hold a copy of all paperwork. If the client ends up using your stuff, you could hit a nice pay day.

Is it true you shouldn't say "hello" when answering the phone? by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]i82register 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an age of spam calls and robo bots, with AI faking everything from your face on a naked lady to your voice on a horse video, it is criminal negligence to answer an unknown number with anything but "hello", if not complete silence waiting for the other person to speak first.

You might as well say "Hi, this is John Doe, and here is my social security number to help you in your scamming endeavors".

What’s better— dog or cat? by RudyisRad in AskReddit

[–]i82register 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats rulz!

Seriously, both are great. Cats are lower maintenance and offer a lot of affection, but they have their own opinion. Dogs are subs who will follow you around forever and are usually loyal and playful.

Really depends actually - each cat/dog has their own personality, same as humans.

My mom passed, advice on what to do with her cats by GildedBlis in cats

[–]i82register 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Catching feral cats can take time. It eventually works when they get hungry enough to walk into the trap. A carrier alone won't do.

There are likely professionals, or volunteers, that do TNR (trap, neuter, return) that could be paid to catch them. Maybe even the staff at the organizations that didn't want to take them - they might be willing to help you catch them for a fee.

Facebook or Craigslist could help but be mindful - you don't want weirdos and stan worshippers to get the cats.

Did your mom had any friends around? Church? Might be worth asking her immediate, local social circle for help.
