Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Not to be too facetious… but it’s called SMB consulting, homie.
What anyone in that industry will tell you is that it’s extremely sink or swim, and the hard part is finding reliable clients willing to pay you appropriately.
If you really wanna go that route, start by registering an LLC and putting together your shared template you wanna build from. Wouldn’t recommend going all-in until you have a few steady clients on your roster, but you can certainly dip your toes in without much headache to see if it’s something you like.
And there’s always someone doing it cheaper. And wrong. I got some weird and unexpected DMARC reports a while ago. A local guy has I guess one o365 license, with the domains for all his clients, with forwarding rules for all his clients to their free Gmail/ISP email. Rather a privacy issue.
Holy cow.
Yea, someone always willing to jump through hoops to save money but not understanding the cost of the risk.
I was trying to reach an accountant. So, insane.
"Dude, buddy, homie!"
Thanks for the explanation and the sobering advice. I don't plan on going big, but it's good to know what I'm going into.
