Hot Dog Day #91 posted:Whose dream is it to sell things for yelp by phone. What does yelp even sell? Ads? Some millennial please explain this to me. It has long been surmised Yelp sells reputation protection for people whose pages have been dinged by bad reviews. I don't know if anyone has ever caught them, but it's not really more dishonest than credit bureaus asking you to pay them to protect the credit report they hosed up.

Nail Rat posted:I'm pretty far from a goldbug, but civilization doesn't necessarily mean national government (certainly not necessarily on the scale of the US). If there were towns and city-states that were functional but no national economy, gold would theoretically be more valuable than paper currency because there will be a few people who will like to have gold poo poo, whereas you can't really do anything practical with paper money without burning it. Exactly. Civilization just means people peacefully co-existing with one another. If they eat people, then at least they're from other villages. And yeah, gold would be worth a lot less in that kind of world. A barn full of wheat might be more valuable than a bar of gold, but the barn might catch fire or insects could eat all the wheat. Gold doesn't have that problem, which is why it's a good store of value in a world where there are no banks or fiat currency. It's a terrible store of value in a world where you do have those things.

They absolutely do sell this, and they are incredibly pushy and obnoxious about it. So of course they use telemarketers to speak directly to businesses so it won't be all over the net. They also sell ads.

Yelp is unusably awful where I live, reviews in the 3/4 range have no correlation with how much I'll like a place. Now combine that with the fact that it gives one hundreds of results for any search, sorted randomly. That puts it at "not even once" tier, business practices notwithstanding.

Just about every place I love around me is 4.5/5 on Yelp. Idk if this means I have good taste or bad taste.

Pretty sure it's real, but very uncommon. Some restaurants end up having special events for 'elite yelpers'  It's practically impossible to find a review of a downtown restaurant in Seattle that this fuckin retard has captioned his photos with "xx chau time xx" https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=hesGaU1cfQinyauBQpuZrg 4000+ photos and 66 reviews? probably qualifies for bad with money

It's me, I'm the bad with money. Earlier last year I bought some stocks on a taxable account and realized I bought the wrong ones, so I sold them back and bought the right ones. I triggered a capital gain and now I owe the government that money for the tax return. An expensive lesson learned.

Horses really are a special kind of madness. [AB] Horse training client is refusing to move her horses out of my facility, they were supposed to be gone by the first - what are my options? quote:I have had this client for 3 months. The contract is month to month. Every single month I have had to chase her down for payment, often having to chase her for partial payments, and after she took two weeks last month I finally told her that this was the last month that I would be working with her animals, and they need to be gone by the first of March. She said she understood and they would be gone.

Getting taxed on short term capital gains instead of LTCG, for the reasons given, is a little annoying. That is, if he had bought the right stocks he might be in the same position returns wise at this point but without the tax hit because he'd hold them for longer.

Mantle posted:Did you also refuse a raise because it would put you into a new tax bracket Funny story, this is a real problem in Japan with non-marginal spousal tax deductions and benefits, leading to the current situation of millions of women trying to stay under roughly 9000 USD a year in income. Going over is pretty disastrous, and you'd need to make around 14000 USD just to break even. Considering a full time entry level job is like 15k-20k USD and you can see why many women prefer to work a part time job, stay under the magical number, and save a ton of money on daycare etc. Japanese government is BWM.

This plus he's gotta come up with cash right now for tax on gains that he reinvested. The bad with money part (that I'm sure Olive Branch knows now) was that he didn't set aside a portion of the gain in cash to hold onto.

My mom does accounting for a woman who owns a horse ranch and is a level 5 Parelli trainer, whatever the gently caress that is. She is terrible at finances and is slowly losing control, especially to expenses incurred by her four twentysomething children. She has a beautiful Hill Country property well within commuting distance from Austin, but has built so much horse poo poo (training areas, plus a giant 6000sqft covered steel arena) on the property that she can't sell it to get out of the biz. She owns a goddamn valley on 9 acres with an amazing mansion and a river but nobody will pay more than $550,000 because it has become so specialized in the last five years. I did some manual labor there last year and made the mistake of negotiating before showing up. I busted my rear end and she lowballed me, paying me minimum wage for the most back-breaking poo poo I've ever done. She's not bad with money, it's me. i say swears online fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Mar 7, 2016 |

My new employer automatically put me into their 401k, how much can I sue them for? Automatic enrollment into 401k plans (with an automatic deduction selected) is the recommended way to get Americans to save for retirement. The DOL suggests them and says they can cut the number of employes not saving for retirement by half: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/automaticenrollment401kplans.html Of course this BWM wants to sue his (brand new) employer because it takes longer than 24 hours to reverse the contribution that was made YESTERDAY.
