Removing gratuities onboard

Planning on going on a ship soon. I’ve been seeing that employees don’t actually get the gratuities. I was wondering can I opt out of gratuities at the beginning or is it just at the end that I have to do it. I plan on bringing a lot of cash for tipping cause I rather give people who help me tips directly.

Edit
Guys I’m not actually removing the gratuities just asking a question because of things ive heard. Ive never booked a cruise myself. I am more than happy to pay/prepay the gratuity. Stop implying that im scum on earth for asking a question lmaooo 😭

Does carnival have Ultimate Texas Holdem in their casino?

The last time I was on a cruise I couldn’t play because I was underage. I’m planning on going on one and was wondering if they had UTH on the floor. I’m not a blackjack fan at all. Thanks guys. Also if you have any hacks or tips I should know about lemme know

Need help with smell

Hello everyone, I need some advice on how to get rid of a lingering smell. Someone in my apartment smokes weed and cigs and the smell travels through the vents into my apartment. Normally I don’t care but the smell stains my clothes and furniture. When I’m not in the apartment for a long time it’s like getting hit by a brick wall for your nose. I’ve done candles, essential oils, air fresheners, plugins, carpet treatments. Do any of you guys have any ideas I could do to neutralize or help make my apartment smell better.

Order stagnation

I drive in relatively active zone. I get an order or two every 30-40 minutes. But recently these past few days I haven’t gotten much. Anyone dealing with this. It seems weird and has never been an issue before. I started at 8am and so far I’ve gotten two orders one that wanted me to drive 38 miles to LA for $22 and another 8 miles for $6 which I ofc declined

Are you guys getting orders during dinner rush?

I usually go deliver in the morning to like about 3:00pm. Occasionally I’ll deliver for the dinner rush, but I don’t do it often cause everytime I do. I feel like I don’t get any decent orders. In the morning/noon I get some decent stuff. But even during the peak ordering time according to uber I’m getting $4 trips that have 10 mile distances. Is it just because there are so many people delivering at the time that I’m just getting the scraps.

What are your least favorite places to pick up from

Who needs some help

Hey everyone,

A lot of people here are building projects that could turn into real businesses.

If your project is starting to make money, there’s a point where you may need to think about things like:

- Whether you need an LLC or other business structure
- Whether you need an EIN
- How business taxes might apply
- Whether you need local licenses or permits
- How to keep your business documents organized

I’m working on a tool called YourLaunchList that helps new business owners figure out what steps may apply to them based on their business type, location, and situation.

If you’re building something and feel unsure about the “business setup” side of things, comment what you’re working on and I’ll point you toward the kinds of steps you may need to look into.

I’m hoping everyone in here succeeds in life and you all get to retire in asap.

While Im at it is love to see what you guys are working on I’d love to give some input if you want lol

Starting a business shouldn’t feel this confusing

I started looking into what it actually takes to start a business, and I quickly realized something frustrating:

The information technically exists, but it is scattered everywhere.
One site tells you about forming an LLC. Another talks about taxes. Another mentions permits. Then there are city requirements, state requirements, federal steps, renewals, deadlines, bank accounts, EINs, licenses, documents, and random forms you may or may not need depending on what kind of business you are starting.
It feels like the system expects you to already know what to look for.

That is the part that bothered me.

A lot of people are not trying to avoid doing things correctly. They just do not know what “correctly” even means yet. They have an idea, maybe a service, maybe a small shop, maybe a consulting business, and then they hit this wall of government websites, legal terms, PDFs, fees, and requirements.

I started thinking: I know there are formation services, legal services, and compliance platforms, but I still felt like there wasn’t a simple beginner-friendly way to understand what steps apply to your specific business, track documents, and know what to do next.

Something that helps you track:

formation steps
tax setup
permits and licenses
document storage
deadlines
official source links
what is required vs. recommended

Not a replacement for a lawyer or accountant. Just a clearer starting point so people are not left guessing.

I’m currently working on an early version for new business owners, freelancers, consultants, and small local businesses.

I put together a short survey/waitlist to understand what features would actually be useful before I build too far in the wrong direction.

If you have tried starting a business, or are trying to get your feet off the ground. I’d love to hear what you think.

Question to all the entrepreneurs

Hello everyone!!

I’d like to introduce my background briefly. I am a college student studying computer science. I have a love for making tools that help people. I was talking to my girlfriend who has the passion for business and we were having a conversation about starting a business, but realized it was really annoying finding the starting place.

I wanted to know when you guys were first starting your dream businesses. Did you find it difficult to find all the things you needed to have to legitimately start your business. Like what documents you needed to sign, what offices you had to register with etc.

I bring this up because I want to make a tool for people to have an easier time from planning to implementation. I want to preface this is NOT an advertisement but rather just a way to see if people really had as hard of time finding the starting place. As well as a way to keep your documents nice and organized like a filing system as well.

Would love to hear your thoughts. All the best to you all!

Any tips of getting people to make accounts

I’ve been live for 2 weeks almost and I’ve noticed that users come in waves. I’ve gotten about 200 users on the platform most of the it is through direct link. My pages are being indexed by Google. I have fantastic SEO optimization. The coding was never the problem so far the hardest part is finding a way to make people care.

I wanted stock research to feel less overwhelming, so I built this

Many people have always wanted to invest in the stock market.

You hear stories about people changing their lives through investing, and eventually you start thinking, “Maybe I should learn this too.”

But once you actually try, it gets overwhelming fast. Then you end up putting it on the back-burner for later.

Even with instant access to information, there is almost too much of it. You get thrown terms like Greeks, Theta decay, and stop losses. That happened to me when I was 20. I flew to an investing seminar that, honestly, sounded like it could have been a scheme. But I ended up learning a lot. Options trading, reading financial statements, and understanding company reports.

One of the biggest things I took from it was the importance of 10-K reports.

For anyone who doesn’t know, publicly traded companies are required to file a yearly report that breaks down what happened inside the business. These reports can include:

- Revenue
- Earnings
- Debt
- Profit or loss
- Risks
- Competition
- Business changes
- Future outlook

The list goes on.

For years, I’ve used these reports as part of how I research companies. I’ve always told friends and family to read them too, because they show you what is really going on inside a company before you invest.

The problem is that most people do not have time to dig through a 100-300 page report just to find the important parts.

So I decided to build something that makes that easier.

Ask yourself:

What products do you use every day?

Are you reading this on an iPhone?

Do you buy coffee from Starbucks?

Does your computer have an NVIDIA GPU?

A lot of the companies you already spend money with are publicly traded. stokr helps you research them in a simpler way.

You can search a company, get an easy-to-read report, see a score, review the risks, understand the bull and bear case, and trace the information back to the company’s own filings.

The goal is simple: make stock research less intimidating, easier to understand, and more transparent for beginner investors.

Try it here: https://stokr.live

TLDR:

I built stokr to make stock research less intimidating for beginners.

Most publicly traded companies file huge yearly reports called 10-Ks that explain their revenue, risks, debt, competition, business changes, and overall performance. The problem is that these reports can be 100–300 pages long and hard to understand.

stokr turns that information into easier-to-read stock reports with company breakdowns, scores, risks, bull/bear cases, and traceable information from company filings.

Would love some feedback!

Hello everyone!

I run a service that makes stocks less scary to get into. Simply put the name of companies you use in your daily life and the website gives you a detailed easy to read report that will help get rid of some of the worries that come with starting.

I’m not trying to directly advertise, I am looking for some feedback. My site has a functional MVP. However, I want to add more the give my users an even better experience.

I have some features in development like an active news page, a great faq being built, and some more useful information for companies like whether or not they have dividends.

If you have some time, give it a try and I’d love to hear about your experience, thoughts, and suggestions.

If you also have a project you’d love feedback on drop it here and what you’d like for me to test specifically and I’d love to help anyway I can.

I’ve finally done it folks. Officially launched and live. Now I’m just so nervous. I hope people like it. I’ve spent the last few weeks just trying to find effective marketing strategies. For now I’m just relying on strong SEOs. I still have some things to work out in the project but little by little.

There’s like this rush from the uncertainty. I’m sure many of you guys can agree on that.

Are there any tips you guys would recommend me to double check. I read somewhere here about a guys bank account freezing during a payment transaction or something. That sounds terrifying and I don’t even know how I would handle that loool.

Anything is greatly appreciated!!

so this is something i keep running into and it’s kinda annoying

i finish an episode and then i’m like “ok where do i pick up in the manga?” and then it turns into digging through reddit threads or random wiki pages and sometimes the answers don’t even match

i was thinking about building something super simple where you just:

search the anime → click the episode → it tells you the exact chapter(s) it covers

nothing crazy, just fast and accurate

but before i go deep on it i’m curious:

would you actually use something like this or is it not really a big deal?

and also realistically—would anyone here ever bother submitting a correction if something was wrong, or would you just grab the info and dip lol

trying to figure out if this is actually useful or if i’m overthinking a small problem. especially because running something like that would cost money and before I dig into my own pocket I’d love to know what everyone thinks
