it's a combination of it being a brand new (potentially throwaway) account, me potentially misunderstanding what is meant by claiming 20m annual profit for 3 people is "staying low", and the limits of text communication

Am I the only one reading a significant amount of ego and humblebrag from this post? It's pretty off-putting and distracting from where there could be value.

They never implied anything about motive. Really, why does motive even matter? Opposing motives can meet on the same positive result. It happens all the time with humans; whether it's two friends, or a corporation of 50,000 people, o

It's curious to wonder when did humans begin associating words and writings with magic and special powers? Actually, when did pre-modern-human apes begin thinking about magic at all?

This seems to be the largely the case with scandinavian countries in general. I've been seriously considering leaving the USA permanently because I'm having a difficult time reconciling my morals and ideals with the taxes I pay. B

FYI my understanding is US citizens are exempt from US taxes as long as you spend 330 days of the year outside the US. You still have to file a tax return, you just don't pay anything. https://www.irs.gov/individuals&#x

Yeah. And if you mean to ask how is it ethical to put those clauses in the contract... if the executive does something so damaging to the business to get fired, the others need to recoup their losses by reclaiming shares and pension.

I can confirm that some customers are apparently very keenly aware of prices. I've recently been experimenting with my prices, and 2 days after lowering after going way too high, a customer sent me a message asking why they were paying

Interesting, I had a very similar idea for this, but I'm already doing a solo side gig so haven't had the time to work on yet another solo thing. Maybe we can collaborate or chat? Shoot me an email!

Well this is just untrue in my experience. I run a SaaS business and my customers love it when you ask for their opinions and insight. Where are you getting your information from?

I'm curious to know if frequency of dreaming correlates to anything. Most people I talk to "rarely have dreams" (probably meaning they just dont remember them). For some reason in my case I have a vivid dream every night, som

I don't think this is exactly right is it? My understanding is it's not about testing you, it's just a matter of resource allocation in a severely inefficient system. The IRS does not have the resources to manually verify all
