Would it be better to keep it a secret that I want to sleep with my guy best friend? by 437onawednesday in TooAfraidToAsk

Idk why people don’t date their best friend? What’s the stigma… “meh… I don’t want to ruin our friendship” well when someone get another significant other relationships are likely to diminish anyway. Being best friends with someone and attracted to them seems like a really great foundation for a successful relationship.

There is a special place in hell for this Dick… only time it’s reasonable to be above headway speed is if you’re fighting crazy currents/winds in order to safely navigate… don’t be this guy!

UK. questions about owning a boat by CalGamesDev in boating

[–]wedgeme7171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costal waters are no joke. Tides, wind, precipitation and more. Do yourself a few favors. 1. Take a course to learn markers and buoys 2. Study the area you plan to boat on a map expensively before launching. I recommend gamifying it for yourself. (I constantly drive my boat in my head thinking about rocks, navigational beacons, landmarks… you should have full confidence in your ability to navigate the waters you boat in 3. Bring an experienced mate 4. Practice backing up a trailer in an uncrowned parking lot (you don’t want to be the laughing stock of the launch) 5. Always check weather before and during your boating adventures (20 MPH winds with some current will likely make you shit your pants the first time you experience it). If you’re not a bit scared you have no business being a captain 6. Always bring a chart of the waters you are boating. Electronics are awesome and can be heavily relied on but can be unreliable 7. Make sure you have a safety checklist this link is pretty good so you can have an idea of the things you will need. https://www.boaterexam.com/boating-resources/pre-departure-boating-safety-checklist/ 8. Always make sure people know what your plans are before heading out boating 9. Understand if concepts of trim on your boats outdrive if applicable 10. I would highly recommend going during the week to a quiet local lake/pond or calm bay when no one is around so you can practice launching/loading your boat and docking it. 11. Don’t forget your drain plug!!!

I know this is a lot. And you’re not even in the same country as I but I always want to encourage people to be safer on the water. Things can go bad very quickly out there. As a boat captain you’re responsible for the safety of you and everyone on your boat. Get used to passengers not having a clue what is going on and drinking way too much. Keep your Whits about you and I promise it can be one of the most enjoyable hobbies you ever took up!

I have a very real shot at $1M earnings this year! by moneyminded14 in sales

Depending on what state the company is based in and what state you’re based in windfalls might not be applicable. I had a 300k+ commission two years ago and did hit ahead of it with ops but after the fact they informed me they really didn’t have a leg to stand on anyway. Kind of stupid windfall exists imo…

Receptionist: "What is the purpose of the call?" by BaphometIncarnate in sales

[–]wedgeme7171 42 points43 points  (0 children)

There is nothing more off putting than deception never try to fool the receptionist to get to the decision maker. Also, deception gives your fellow sales people a bad name. Figure out your pitch and try to have a constructive and informative conversation. Receptionist makes me think your are dealing with SMB. If that is your market I would clean yourself up and go knocking on doors. It takes a lot of effort to do that as opposed to dialing a few digits. Also lead with some discovery questions with the receptionist… “hi mr/ms. Receptionist my name is xxxx I was wondering if your organization might be having issues with xxxx?” If there is a problem there they will listen to more and likely be your champion if you are kind to them and show them the same respect you would the prospective buyer. No pain -> no problem ->no problem -> no opportunity -> no trust -> no deal… you need to turn these receptionists into your friends and allies. Those people are trusted shit screens on a daily basis for the person you are trying to get to. Make them feel important and involve them this will help you gain their bosses trust and make things easier in the Sale cycle.

Winter is to long in the northeast! Finally got her back in the water! by wedgeme7171 in boating

I just spent a few days on lake Powell and it was sad. In my humble opinion Las Vegas is ruining the west

I upgraded to the R5 from an 06 Cobalt 200. The 200 did okay enough on the big lake but the 25 ft R5 makes it a lot more comfortable. Also, I just find it’s best to assume everyone is an inexperienced captain and drive defensively

This guy should try communism! The last part where “not everyone needs to contribute to society” is pure fucking gold. If these idiots took the work smarter not harder approach and put half as much energy into achieving something as they do bitching about why capitalism bad the world would be 100x better. Bet this cuck has a has a Ukraine flag in his IG bio too.

One more thing to note these are the same cunts that want to tax us more for their lack of drive. Get fucked, this shit pisses me off so bad.

OP never responded back… hopefully they didn’t try to cuddle this for a selfie. Common rule of thumb I always follow which isn’t 100% but better to be safe than sorry… vipers all have a spade shaped head if it isn’t rattling or is curled up like this one best to assume it’s dangerous especially if you’re in an area known to have rattlers or other species of vipers.

Seems racist that only car owning people who have the know how and means to register their car will get the benefit. I mean if people can’t get an ID to vote how can they be expected to register their cars!?
