I think it's a built in feature. Like, you don't have to have it, but you can very easily add it, and tiktok culture has evolved in such a way that most serious users of it (not people like you and me who only see tiktok videos when they're uploaded to twitter and then posted in an SA thread, people who actually use the app) prefer to it or just expect it.

It's there for people with various disabilities. Normally you would use it to describe what is being seen. But users on tiktok tend to use it more for voice overs. Tiktok does accessibility suprisingly well for what it is. For instance adding speech to captions in a video is really easy. Press a button, wait 30 seconds and there you go.

This is not “stealing”. It’s the fault of the cashier or the way the store is organized.
This is from a few days ago but it just reminded me of the only time I ever remotely stole from a business

It was my first day on campus in England for a year of studying abroad, and I went to the store at the University of Leicester's student union to buy lunch. I got, like, a sandwich, and knowing me probably a Thorntons' truffle

Anyway, the total came out to about £8, and I gave the cashier a £10 note. She handed me £12 back. I looked at it for a second and said "oh, you gave me too much change" and she stared blankly back at me. I thought somehow she did not understand(?) so I said "I gave you a £10, not a £20, so you should take this £10 note back." She continued staring at me blankly and if I recall correctly was basically as still as the grave. I decided that the cashier had experienced a fatal error and there was no way to resolve this situation and just left with my special bonus pounds

Edit for this unimportant addition I forgot:

Schad is on me, I went to see how much golden US dollar coins are and it's like $40 for 25 coins. :wtf:
If you buy, not that I have done this*, a lot of them, the excess cost basically stays the same, so you can get like $200 of coins for $220 which is a lot closer to reasonable if you have ridiculous plans for, say, New Hampshire's VIDEO GAMES dollar coin. Also worth noting the reason you cannot buy them $1-for-$1 anymore was the credit card scam where you generate infinite rewards points for yourself by buying money and depositing said money in your account again

*I have done this

This, still can't believe how Equifax is still in business, and that the payout from 5 years ago still hasn't happened, and that it's going to be somewhere in the range of like $2 rather than $125 per person as suggested.
I was genuinely shocked when I got an amount of money worth the time to cash the check from the Illinois Facebook biometric data settlement, I think it was like $400. Getting me unreasonably excited for the upcoming Snapchat and Google Illinois biometric data settlements, though I imagine they cannot possibly be as good

I’ve had this happen to me a few times, and while most understood what I was saying and thanked me for being honest (since it likely would have come out of their pay when they zero’d out their till for the night), I had one lady get real indignant with me and acting like I was trying to scam her, so I just said “whoops, my mistake” and left, and I can only assume she realized her error when she went to close out her shift.

This takes me back. Those pickles toss awesomely. I worked at McDonald's when I was in high school in the 80's and our uniforms had these super cheap caps with plastic brims. During slow times we made a game out of tossing pickles and getting it to stick to the other workers' brims, it was awesome. Bonus if you could sneak it so they didn't notice it and left it there. But yeah most of the time you just got hit in the face with a pickle. It was great.

She's now on episode 18, and has now inserted fart and burp sounds. The Schad is that both parties in the call think it's the other side making the noises. I nearly suffocated with laughter listening to this vid:

I kind of love this. It's clearly an attempt at satirizing the bizarre exercises some people do. But why did he put so many plates under the bench to elevate it? Seems like they'd be better weighing it down. In any case, doing a 'kayak paddle' motion with even the bare bar is kind of impressive.

A restaurant I used to work BOH in had a similar pastime which we called 'pickleback'. Surreptitiously stick a pickle slice to someone's shirt, like patting the new hire on the back for smashing the dinner rush or something. That's all there is to it.

Tangentially related and I know I've brought this up in other threads, but it also reminds me of a buddy's personal tradition: "Every time I drunkenly go to McD's and order a McDouble, I take one pickle slice out and stick it to the most expensive-looking car I can find."

I sometimes try to dick around the car warranty dudes by describing my car as either a fake model (Buick Aileron or Mercedes Portia) or something impossibly old like a Packard Six and see how long it takes for them to hang up. One time the dude stayed on the line until I said my license plate number was 3.

Couple years ago a guy in my office got one of those scam calls where they tell you the IRS is coming to arrest you right now unless you pay them off. He put his phone on speaker and strung them along for a good 20 minutes, escalated up to a "manager" and everything. They wanted him to drive to a grocery store and buy gift cards and read them the codes :hmmyes: It fell apart when he told them he was in his car and they wanted him to honk his horn to prove it. I had almost pulled up a car horn sound board when he just told them to gently caress off and hung up.

Number plates here are sequential and people basically own them once they're issued. Usually taxi drivers in town will buy up the super low numbers as a kind of dick-measuring contest with the other cabbies to be the most OG or something. I've seen 2 and 3 on cabs here. 420 was on a green chrome Lambo that was blasting dub as it drove past.

Someone paid $160k for a number plate about five years back https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/society/very-special-_swiss-number-plate-breaks-auction-record/42979574
