“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

It’s basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

“After that, I ain’t gonna lie, everybody just started beating on him,” Flores added, saying they used a belt to tie up his legs.

That warmed my black heart.

She better get that 10 grand!

God had a pretty impressive kill count

Satan’s was what? A dozen at most?

Ramin Setoodeh, co-editor-in chief at Variety, said he did an hour long sit-down interview with Trump

A few months later, Setoodeh met with Trump again… Trump had “no recollection of our lengthy interview,”

Setoodeh said. “As the journalist who spent the most time with him,”

Yeah, sure you are little buddy. Because no other journalist got more than 2 interviews. MF had Megan Kelly and Tucker on speed dial.

TFW you’re really just a forgettable person.

Fishman sent her maintenance man to deliver a ten-day eviction notice to her door.

Yeah, that’s not legal. Hope the tenant finds a good lawyer.

Mun. Code Ch. 5-12-170: Under the 2020 revisions of the RLTO (“Fair Notice Ordinance”), Landlords must provide a tenant that is not in the eviction process: • 30 days of notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, decline to renew your lease or raise your rent if you have lived in your apartment for less than six months. • 60 days of notice for the same if you have lived in your apartment for more than six months but less than three years.

One of the high-points in my life was having a landlord show up with the local sheriffs to try and force an eviction that up until this point had only been verbal. I happily showed them the state’s tenant laws that said “30 days after written notice is provided” and had a lawyer friend on speed dial if they had any questions. Landlord got so belligerent that the sheriffs escorted them off instead.

Also a PSA: If you rent, know your rights.

My mom replaced all the photos of us with her dogs before we moved out.

Unpopular opinion: These smarmy hot takes do more harm than good.

That might have been how they found out. “Cody’s been active for 48 hours straight and hasn’t accomplished a single thing.”

“psi [pounds per square inch] per minute” is an odd unit of measure.

Wouldn’t that only be the identification of the cardholder? Not necessarily the individual using it.

In the first example yes. In the second example the commands should run in parallel and be 6hr. I really should brush up on bash, I know just enough to be dangerous.

Probably not exactly what you’re looking for but I use a batch file to accomplish this (in linux but windows should be similar). For example:

#!/bin/bash
sleep 2h && steam
sleep 8h && killall steam

Executing that will wait 2 hours, start steam so it can download whatever it wants while I sleep, then shut steam down 6* hours later before other people start needing to use the internet.

*maybe 8 hours, I can’t remember now if it runs commands sequentially or in parallel.

Edit: better single line command for linux:

(sleep 2h; steam) & (sleep 8hr; killall steam) &

Really the only thing we disagree on is that not tipping does/doesn’t hurt the business. I’m with you on everything else.

I really don’t have a dog in the fight tho. I don’t work in food service nor do I participate much in the dine-in restaurant portion of it. I can count the number of times I’ve sat down and ate at a restaurant in the last 4 years on one hand. I’m also a hypocrite, I over tip for takeout/delivery and perpetuate the problem.

But I do believe if people collectively ditched tipping, the problem would sort itself out. Not that it wouldn’t be painful for the workers. And not that there aren’t better options (I’m 110% for minimum wage to be the same across the board).

Leave to where? What other job?

To the same place they would go if everyone collectively boycotted that business like you are calling for. When there’s no customers, the businesses aren’t just going to keep paying them. They’ll end up getting fired or hours cut until they starve or leave. What’s the difference?

If everyone just stopped tipping all that would happen is that the workers now have a lower pay. The employers have lost no money, and have no reason to change anything.

No, a portion of the workers are going to say “I can make more at -insert literally any other job here-” and they are going to leave. Then the business has to either fix the problem or shut down. These service industry workers aren’t beholden to their employers, when the pay stops being decent, they’ll dip.

Anything that may help develop better adblockers/paywall bypasses or exposes how/what of our personal information is collected is a win in my book. And this may very well be none of those things.

Not to mention the nasty, big, pointy teeth!

It will almost take grass from me. It’ll come up and sniff it but doesn’t trust quite that much. Then inevitably a loud truck comes by and scares it off. One of these days maybe I’ll get to give it pets.
