I’m probably gonna get a lot of hate for this, but I’ve seen so many subreddits of stocks where people only tend to give bullish advice. Some or even most are usually full of delusional people, who can’t give an objective assessment on the company (especially micro and small cap). All I see is shit like “TOO THE MOON”, “WE’RE GONNA HIT 200 EOY”. I’ve seen countless times where a company is clearly overvalued and people just tell newbies to “hold and it will go up for sure”. They outright downvote you like crazy if you bring up ANY valid concerns.

Having said this, please for the love of God do your own due diligence.

Hi everyone, I recently went on Block & Leviton LLP’s website to read about the ongoing investigation for Amprius, but can’t seem to find the case anymore. It’s neither in the “investigations” nor the “active cases” page.

May be a dumb question, but has the investigation dropped? If not, where can I find further info on it? It’s to my knowledge that Block & Leviton LLP is leading the investigation.

Although it is up significantly YTD, it’s also clear that the stock is dipping quite a bit since ATH. And I am assuming not everyone bought in when it was like $1-$2 like some of you.

Having said this, how are y’all holding up? Has your thesis changed?

I know a lot of folks here bought some shares at around $4 -$5, so a little down trend doesn’t matter as much. Are there any or you that bought at ATH around $140 - $150?

Hey everyone, I moved into the 27th floor of a 5-year old condo during the winter in Toronto, Canada. Now that it’s near summer, I’ve lately been seeing 1 baby house centipede every couple of days in my ensuite bathroom.

How is this possible when I’m so high up and when my condo is also relatively new?!

I’m so frustrated. I have a genuine phobia of these house centipedes to the point that I moved out of my old house to a condo so that I don’t have to see these bugs ever again.

I understand that they may be beneficial, but the real reason why I have this phobia is because, unlike most people who just see one or two a month, my old house had an infestation, where I would catch up to 12 adults in a single night.

How can I get rid of these?! Please help me :’(

Hi Everyone.

After graduating civil engineering, I stayed at a small subcontracting firm related to groundwater control for around a year and a half. After being there for a while, I realized that I wanted to be more technical and learn the theory of geotechnical engineering more deeply. As such, I made the switch to a large consulting firm and have been here for almost two years.

Over the past two years, I soon learned that grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. I have been to the field for maybe 5 months total for drilling supervision (which was nice as I learned a lot) and the rest has been mundane data entry, digitizing field logs.

Now that my old boss has left, the new boss is giving me random sh*t with absolutely no context. Apparently, I am doing some construction impact assessment, but I don’t even know what I’m looking at. He just tells me to do relevant tasks and I have no time to ask or process what I’m doing. This is because everything is apparently “urgent and due ASAP”. Without people properly mentoring me or providing me context, how the hell am I supposed to learn anything?

P.S. after the boss switch, I have been doing two straight weeks of ~75 hrs a week. The new boss doesn’t seem to respect boundaries. I tell him I have other work from another senior colleague (which is high priority as well), but the new boss doesn’t care. “Do it by tonight” is all he says. I did recently get an off cycle raise (~3%) that not everyone gets, but working 35 hours overtime for an extra 150 dollars a month? Feels like a joke.

So please tell me. Is this normal? Should I plan to leave? Fml

Hi Everyone,

I’m new to Hermes and have no shopping experience here. My wife wants a Kelly 25 bag, but I heard it’s notoriously difficult to get one even with a relatively high pre-spend.

So my question is, if I were to walk in to Hermes, and drop around 50k (before Kelly), would there be any realistic chance for us to get it on the same day? Or is it recommended to split the spend up over a couple months or even years?

Also, I heard people usually butter up their sales associate, and I don’t understand why this is a thing if I am the paying customer. Never heard of any other brands requiring this.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I've posted here a few times already, trying to receive some advice on building a startup. Currently, I am seeking guidance on market validation/acquiring my first B2B clients.

To date, I have cold messaged around 85 people on LinkedIn. As my opener, I have only asked them about their "current process" to identify potential pain points and nothing else (no talking about my product at all). I kept it short and simple like most people previously advised. However, despite the one-line opener, I have gotten very low response rates (understandably as I am someone random). As for those who did respond, they would not provide much details.

Having said this, is this normal? I feel very stuck... people are saying that this is the best way to start before I make any commitments to building the MVP, but this process seems very slow and ineffective for me in particular. I am not sure if I am going about this the wrong way or not.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. As a first time founder, I am looking for some advice on setting up an initial equity structure with some of my co-founders and/or potential advisors.

For some background:

My friend and I decided to get together to build an app to help the civil engineering industry. I have around 4 years of experience in the civil industry along with roughly 3 years of experience as a full stack developer (I know this is an unusual combo). My friend on the other hand, has around 8 years of experience in the software engineering industry (full stack, cloud, cybersecurity). Considering just us two, the equity split is pretty straight forward as we can compliment one another (roughly 50/50).

The problem comes with the other two co-founders/advisors. To be honest, I don't even know which one they would be classified as. In our startup, with over 20+ years of experience in the civil engineering industry, their roles would essentially just be introducing us to influential people within the civil engineering industry and help my friend and I get our first B2B clients. I truly believe that their help will be critical to initially launch our product. However, one key point is that they will not be heavily involved during the product building phase (maybe some feedback here and there).

Given this, how would you guys recommend splitting the equity?
