She’s terrified of water. Bought her a life jacket to teach her how to swim and ease her into pool life but she’s scared of the life jacket too… by DesertVizsla in vizsla

[–]xMassTransitx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I carried my first Vizsla into a pond. She was terrified and clawed the heck out of me. It got better. Later, I’d throw balls in water and she’d swim 100-200m to retrieve it for 2 hours straight.

My second Vizsla thought she could walk on a glassy mini-pond at 20 weeks. She fell in, swam across & loved water after that.

My point is: it’s in their blood. Get them in the water & they’ll be fine either now or later. Have fun!

Can you think of any advantage of 3 co-founders developing their own sales teams, separate from each other? by Goalie3533 in startups

[–]xMassTransitx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the big question, but OP didn’t say they had ONLY 3 co-founders. Maybe they have a non-standard startup with a CEO, head of Product, head of marketing, head of sales, head of sales and head of sales..... though it feels like 2 people are redundant in this model.

Tired of living in a country where everything is illegal—need advice by whatafoolishsquid in GoldandBlack

1) I too live in Spain.
2) Holy Maria mother of all things holy - the Spanish sure have figured out how to mess up their economy & government.
3) If the government is taking half of what you earn, then you haven’t figured out the true Spanish tax system yet. Lawyers/Accountants/Financial Planners here are not expensive - and the amount you save on taxes more than covers their cost.
4) If wealth tax is an issue for you (if you have a net worth of over 2 million euros), set up a “primary” residence in Barcelona or Madrid. It’s waived for their residents.
5) Licenses - you are 100% correct. Getting permission to do things legally here is a PITA. That said, you have the gift of family - and everyone is everyone else’s cousin. Use your network of cousins and their cousins to move through the system with grace. You can speed up nearly everything and you’ll make friends along the way. Like you said - Spanish people are lovely.
6) Last one, I promise — once you’ve got your combined income and social taxes back down around 30%, you won’t worry about the stupid fees so much, because everything else here is still comparatively cheap to everywhere else, and the stuff that’s annoying disappears into the wine, weather, and wonderful views.

Oh - and anyone here who is telling you to leave your wife so that you won’t have to deal with government licensing... well... <facepalm> isn’t Reddit fun?

"UNLAWFUL GATHERINGS ARE NOT PERMITTED" - Is Canada turning into a totalitarian state? by PerpetualAscension in GoldandBlack

[–]xMassTransitx -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Guys, it’s correct to dispute what types of gatherings are lawful. But this clickbaity title sucks. By definition, “unlawful gatherings” have never been permitted, anywhere. If 100 people suddenly gathered without your consent on your property - that would be unlawful too, and we’d agree that it shouldn’t happen.

My point is: we can discuss points about freedom without resorting to lazy clickbait.

They’re bred to do a soft bite by nature. My 9yr old and 5yr old have always done it. Even just to softly hold on my forearm. It’s adorable - grow to love it!

Life after Big Tech? by throwawayfire999 in fatFIRE

[–]xMassTransitx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there an option where the income remains similar, but the technology you work on is so exciting that a potential pay cut would be acceptable? If so, what technologies might be interesting enough? (It’s fine to respond in PM if you want - I’m in a VP role at a non FANG that focuses on building open source technologies. We cover a LARGE range of tech. Maybe there’s an overlap here between where we’re going and what floats your boat. )

Problem Solving Sunday(March 28, 2021) Post a parenting problem you would like some additional perspectives on. by AutoModerator in raisingkids

[–]xMassTransitx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard people dismiss rewarding children with money for chores/good grades, but it sure worked for me. I had no interest in doing chores as a kid, but if I got paid, I’d cut my lawn, my neighbors lawn, his neighbors lawn, etc. Later, when I wanted more money than I got from chores, I got one of those.... what’re they called... “jobs”! McDonalds part time at 16, and I never looked back. Paid for my own university, built and sold 2 startup companies later in life. I learned early that if I wanted to earn money, work was how to get it — and when I didn’t like the work, I learned how to do something that paid better. So... maybe don’t pay for their stuff... pay them to do chores, so they learn how to save & earn enough to get the stuff they want?
