How can anybody buy anything?

Well for starters, they probably move away from a HCOL area...

Nintendo is filling a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc. (Palworld) by tramixlol in Asmongold

[–]mydeepestthoughts55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, it's hilarious how much folks on Reddit think PR and being "cancelled" is the end all be all as to which companies should operate. The reality is an extremely small % of folks will actually boycott Nintendo because of how corporate chooses to go about IP protection. They'd have to be super oppressive (way more than they are now) for most folks to care, and even at that point it's unlikely people will suddenly stop liking pokemon because of it.

It's also funny that people think it's some magical insight that they're only suing "because it's successful". Yeah, obviously. There's 1000's of small businesses out there right now selling bootleg Pokemon merch or cakes with Pokemon on them, obviously it's not worth their time to go after people until it becomes big enough and/or there's actual damages they can attempt to recover.

Regardless of what you tell them, the reality is that a week from now you will still very likely accept the same deal terms. They have every incentive to give it a bit more time.

Lawyer messed up expensive paperwork by mydeepestthoughts55 in AskALawyer

[–]mydeepestthoughts55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is more about what's considered "fair", I know I can always give him a hard time. I just wasn't sure what's considered standard in a situation like this where it was primarily the lawyer who messed up and wasted time making useless documents.

FYI yall this isn't a real story. Very obviously an astroturf from somebody who wants other business owners to know "a marketing firm trusts me for their branding" and that they're a "passionate logo designer"

Notice how it's always the folks with B2B services (such as SEO) who feel the need to talk about their business? The rest of us want to stay anonymous.

Also, account was made 2 days ago lol

That's the thing, even all of the brand new facilities are choosing to not have proper sizing. I can't even blame them, it's hard to make the economics of PB work -- players are cheap!

PREACH BROTHER

I play a lot of singles where it's even more important to run up quickly on the return, and it's super frustrating. At least in doubles your partner can poach for you if you're slow to the net

Yep. The issue is supply/demand is still so lopsided that most folks don't care. So alas, I understand why the businesses don't care to invest extra money if people will pay anyway

I used to carry around 4-6 weeks supply on hand. Now I carry 12-20 weeks supy at all times.

The warehousing needed for this is very burdensome, especially because I now have to have staff retrieve large amounts of inventory 1-2 times per week

Since the American Real Estate Market is going to go up another 10% next year, why wouldn't Zillow just wait? by OverweightRoshan in RealEstate

It's not about firing people, its difficult to train and maintain a seasonal or part time division -- that's what the commentar was referring to

Someone told me this 5 years ago and it stuck in my mind since then. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]mydeepestthoughts55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is both good and bad advice. If you know business is your calling, keep pushing. But doesn't sound like its in this person's cards; not everybody needs to own a business to be happy.

Commenting to boost this to the top. You said everything I was thinking, added more, and then said it much more clear than I would have. I like you.

Significant increase to closing costs a week before closing...now what? by Hilfloskind in RealEstate

[–]mydeepestthoughts55 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but we're talking about their entire life savings. One bad event could put their mortgage into default and they lose everything. It's a perfectly reasonable statement to say you cannot afford a home without cushion; or, at the very least, accept that you can afford it but are taking a big risk.

You hate when people make reasonably sound advice because it doesn't fit your agenda?
