This is my fear. I’ve only had the house 2 years, exclusively rented before. I’m ‘making it’ right now, but a few years down, who knows. Sorry for you, hope it comes out okay.

Did any of you read and understand the article?

About 25 miles. About 30 years ago, I had a stint with meth, short-lived, thankfully. I walked from the north end of my city to a suburb south of the city to my sisters house to detox after a bender and running out of money. Funny thing, in retrospect, I had just enough money left for bus fare but when I got on the bus, I was still so sketched out (paranoid) that I couldn’t bear to be around other (sober) people. So, I got off the bus immediately and walked. Not my finest hour.

Discover is the best one I’ve ever had. No annual fee, started out with 0% interest for 18 months. I constantly get 0% balance transfer offers for 12 months, sure it costs a 3% one time fee, but it sure saves money on interest. Plus, their customer service and fraud dispute are the best imo.

You’re stating that “not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” I’m adding that “not guilty” doesn’t always mean “guilty but got away with it.” Which part confused you?

Similarly, “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “guilty, but we couldn’t prove 100%”. So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you’re implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

As a football fan, I’m way more annoying about it than people who complain about it. Ask my family and neighbors. And I’m definitely not the exception.

Also, note that super bowl haters have never attempted to burn cities to the ground due to hated of football.

Professional sports are entertaining for many people. As are other forms of entertainment also full of ads and rich people doing silly things. But, I agree that the Super Bowl is over the top obnoxious. As much as I usually like watching football, I tend to avoid the Super Bowl unless one of my favorite teams is playing, which, unfortunately, is rare.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won’t be popular, and it’s not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it’s definitely related.

I see this quite often as a manager. Shift is 8-5, hour lunch. Per policy, deviance must be approved by the supervisor. I get people all the time clocking in at 740ish and not starting work until 815ish, circle jerk around the coffee pot. In fairness, I SHOULD dock that time, but I don’t. Write up for violating established policy. I had a guy a few days ago, clocked in at 8, text me at 815 that he is running late because he can’t find his clothes (what?!). Who’s stealing wages in this scenario?

According to stats I’ve read for my state, most of wage theft is former employees, whether they quit or were terminated, not getting their final paycheck in the time frame dictated by law. I don’t really see this as wage theft, because IN MY EXPERIENCE, tracking down former employees can be difficult, even if they quit yesterday.

This NOT to say other forms of wage theft don’t happen maliciously.

Funny you should add that last sentence. My first day as a restaurant worker 30 something years ago was entirely sitting watching videos.

Have at it. A big nope from me. I watched a couple of videos of guys climbing those things and working on them and about died of anxiety. Even with all the proper safety gear, I’m sure I’d get a ways up and just freeze in fear.

I’d rather take on some of the other “nopes” in this thread; military or law enforcement. I could be a lazy ass do nothing cop for a day. Seems to work for quite a few cops.

Cell tower or wind turbine repair.

That and “sus”.

I am a big fan of the whole LOTR series. I saw a trailer for The Hobbit and thought 'whats this trash!?". Never watched the movie. No regrets from all the things I’ve heard.

I’ve had the same experience with crossing signals as a pedestrian. And pedestrians crossing dangerously illegally yell at me for driving normally. You can think what you like, but if your assertion were true, pedestrian deaths would be much higher. I don’t think it has anything to do with the pandemic; I’d bet it’s more attributed to tech. But again, think what you like.

I am an American, too. I care about pedestrians. A right turn on red is a perfectly safe maneuver when done properly. The problem presents with one or more of inattentive drivers, inattentive pedestrians, inattentive cyclists (believe it or not, all 3 exist, probably in equal proportion). I’m fairly certain the “actively trying to kill pedestrians because I don’t care” attitude is a pretty small minority, even for Americans.

But, bruh, America bad amirite lmfaorofllol

I love this, absolutely using at work! Thanks!
