teen witch posted:Fake towing company stealing cars with tags from apartment lot, police say they can’t do anything (chud voice) "b-b-b--but if we abolish the police, who will investigate crimes?" A Wizard of Goatse posted:this is exactly the level of interest I've seen cops take in literally any crime where a cop wasn't personally involved, including in Virginia. I'm pretty sure like random pillheads doing burglaries or that one whackjob who thinks he can annex the neighbor's yard by putting his own fence around it aren't all paying the cops off. Yeah, while I wouldn't rule out the police getting a slice of the action, it's not necessarily at play. Ask any person who has survived an encounter with police and this is how they act about all crimes "sounds like a civil matter" is the only thing cops know how to say aside from "he went for my gun" Re: fakes, fakecalling, etc. the general guideline is "don't post stories that are obvious agenda pushing" like all the "[minority] was cartoonishly mean to me and then everyone on the down with cis bus beat me up" because they're boring and don't provide interesting stuff to talk about. Informally the "you can say 'story is fake' but you have to post content" is sometimes enforced and that does cut down on it a lot. I think that's been a successful policy but since the thread's mostly old guard, a vague guideline versus a hard numerical rule is probably fine. Zurtilik posted:Is there a good set of rules/tips for finding and posting content? I mean, I could just go and grab whatever is funny on the front page but I assume people have already done that or don't want to see front page crud? But I would like to bring some content back to the group on occasion. Strategies I've been successful with are: Going to r/aita, sorting by "controversial," ignoring anything where the main character is a teen (they're all either trivial bullshit or just straight up parental abuse) and skimming until I see something that looks interesting Periodically glance at other advice column/agony aunt type places for salacious stories. These places have paid staff sifting out the obviously fake-seeming submissions so most of their content is either mundane or the character in the letter is experiencing some kind of normal problem. Occasionally you get good content though. Places aside from reddit we've had success with include savage love, hola papi, dear prudence, care and feeding, the emily post podcast, ask a manager, and captain awkward. On the rare occasions an op on reddit doesn't use a throwaway, checking their history for other threads they've made, sometimes even off r/aita, is often a valuable source of entertaining content. If you're on twitter and you have one or more reddit bots who post popular stories from reddit, those are fine too. Like many regular posters in this thread, I don't regularly read everything on the front page of any particular reddit sub because it's a garbage site full of garbage people, so don't feel obligated to avoid posting recent or popular stuff from there if you think it's funny. As far as subs not to waste your time with, despite our legacy title, I very seldom find good content in r/relationships. Most of the posts there are boring, and the ones that aren't are just straight up abuse, which we thankfully don't post here anymore. I also avoid justnomil, estrangedparents, or raisedbynarcissists. Aside from their impenetrable nomenclature, naming all the characters single initials and enforced use of a zillion stupid acronyms, the stories themselves are really long and not that interesting. This isn't to say content from any particular sub is forbidden, just strats I've observed save a little time if I'm skimming for a good story to post. Keyword searches are also popular. You can search thread favorites, such as "funko pops," "wipe," "shower," or "recipe," or you might come up with your own. People find all kinds of interesting things using criteria such as "popcorn," "allergic," or "inheritance," but feel free to use your imagination. In addition to forum/advice column posts, the occasional longform journalism piece about the kind of character who is a frequent fixture within the r/relationships threads if you can find one that's interesting is also a welcome addition once in a while, like the idiot who ran a successful restaurant and then decided to close up shop for weeks and go on vacation during peak season, or the world's most divorced man writing about how much he likes burning man. I'm sure whatever you end up posting will be great. EDIT: no animal abuse stories please; we don't like them Invisible Clergy fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Oct 20, 2021 |

It's the whole reason humans invented names in the first place. Occasionally, when an otherwise interesting post from aita or something uses initials for character names as its only flaw, I will just make up names for the characters (and put a note in the post for posterity obvs) but with the subs I listed, there's so much just dross and bullshit, it makes it impossible to quickly tweak without rewriting the whole story, and life's too short.

Any of these crappy techbro startups will stress how they have a ping pong table and a FREE CEREAL BAR and free beer or whatever it's to trick you into working an hour of unpaid overtime for $0.14 worth of raisin bran and staying in the office for longer than 9-5. Baronjutter posted:This is what gets me with so so many of these stories. Apparently a huge number of people just have zero spine or self respect and will put up with everything or have come to normalize incredibly hosed up poo poo because they've just not experienced anything else. "Hey my mom tried to cut off my daughter's hand for the 3rd time, feel bad going no contact though as family will get mad. Just going to try to keep knives away from her when she visits." "Hi my dog's in the vet again after my girlfriend poisoned him again but I can't afford the vet bills since she stole all the money from my account. I feel I'd be in the wrong breaking up because she has anxiety issues" "My roommate is actively shooting at me right now, forgive grammar as I'm posting on my phone behind a makeshift barrier dodging bullets. Roommate is unemployed so if we kick him out he might have trouble finding a new place, would I be the rear end in a top hat if we did?" Yeah, when it's just the OP who's involved, you can say "all right, enjoy your life of poop crumbs," but when they rope innocent people and animals into it, they cease to be victims and become complicit with the person actively doing the abuse.

spouse posted:I had a question about this situation, though I feel I already know the answer. I have next to no experience with the legal system beyond traffic violations. When the cops pick her up for escaping court ordered rehab, will the court most likely send her back to rehab and *then* prison for the violation, or just straight to prison? Count yourself lucky: like they say in "Judge Dredd," it's a meat grinder. Keep clear of it if at all possible. The process is something like this: Longpost of american criminal justice stuff, spoilered for length. Since the cops took her alive, she will be going first to jail for processing. There, she will be held and interrogated and either her parents will pay for a private lawyer, or the cops will assign her a public defender who will tell her to plead guilty. Then she will go before a judge where she will be either remanded (not let out of jail until trial date) or he'll quote her an extortionate amount of cash bail. If her parents don't want her to rot in jail until her official trial date (which can be months or years,) they can either pay the sum themselves if they are very wealthy and have any money left from paying the lawyer (which is tens of thousands for even simple stuff like this) they can pay the ransom and take her home, hoping she doesn't scamper off to do more meth before her trial date. If she does flee from her parents' recognizance and doesn't show up for the trial date, the court keeps all the money. If she does show up, the court gives it back to the parents (or is supposed to, anyway, after stealing some for fees). If the parents can't afford the bail, they'll go to a bail bondsman and he will pay the bail for him and they will pay 10% of the bail amount to him. If the daughter doesn't show up for the court date, he will dispatch bounty hunters to find her so he does not lose the bail amount to the court. Escaping court ordered rehab on its own probably isn't an especially serious crime so won't have that severe of a sentence associated with it. Since the cops took her alive, I assume the daughter is white, so the legal system will go as easy on her as it ever does on anyone. What's probably at play though is if the court forced her to go to rehab, it was probably in lieu of sending her to prison for a more serious drug-related crime she got caught committing, like burgling houses to steal tvs to sell to buy meth or something, so her not going to rehab is probably a parole violation, which will probably get you a year or two back in prison, especially if it's not her first time pulling this kind of poo poo. Aside from that, she might well have had some meth on her so might get sentenced for minor possession (3-8 years) or depending on the amount/how much the cops want to pad their numbers, intent to distribute (a shitload more years) plus whatever other ancillary fake crimes they want to tack on (resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, etc). The prosecutor will pad out the list of crimes as much as they can for haggling purposes and pin most but not all of it on the sister, especially if she's stuck with a public defender, who will always tell her to plead guilty and take whatever poo poo deal his coworkers in the prosecutor's office are offering, trying to scare her away from risking a jury trial because if she opts for that, she's risking being convicted of 100% of the charges and not just some of them, plus it will take a lot longer. If she takes the deal, she signs a form and goes to prison for x amount of time. Depending on the terms, she may be eligible for early release and/or parole, but if she is a habitual parole violator, this harms her odds considerably. If she goes to trial, she'll spend however many months or years the trial takes in jail if no one was able to pay the bail, or at home if they were and she doesn't run or go back to committing crimes and getting caught. If she wins, that's that, she moves on with her life. If she loses, she goes to prison for a very long time. Once she's in the prison, if she's very lucky, there will be rehab programs inside the facility which she can get into if she has good behavior and there is a spot (and if the people running the prison feel like letting her in ofc) but even if all these things align, these programs are usually not free; prisons will charge the inmate and/or their families a lot of money to pay for the counselor to come and tell her to not do drugs, and if they can't pay then she doesn't get to do the program. I do not see any likely path to her being told to go back to rehab instead of prison, especially if they found meth on her.

Erainor posted:30 million people play MTG. I don't get the obsession, but I have friends who do. Will a court actually hear a case about Magic cards? Yes. Even if you don't play it, they are objectively collectibles that can be worth a lot of money. When explaining them to a judge or other old person who doesn't know about nerd poo poo, I usually say "they're like baseball cards. Think of the black lotus in this case like a Honas Wagner." which handily explains that some of them are rare or limited and worth a lot of money, and why someone would need more than one pack since they are not like playing cards. Neito posted:Pop culture has told me thousands of times that "guys don't make passes at girls that wear glasses", but I've literally never found this to be true. Are there really people out there who think that glasses look bad? It's not about the glasses, it's about what they represent. The expression is from like the 1930s when it was even more encouraged to give women who read grief. Depictions of women with glasses in like, political cartoons and animation were unflattering, like the hen with glasses in "Foghorn Leghorn." Since they couldn't attend college, they were probably teachers in one-room schoolhouses on the prairie whose employment contracts forbade them from dating, so you shouldn't waste your time. In code-era films, characters like this were often lesbian-coded. I think there was a joke about it on The Toast where Lavery said "the expression should be 'guys, don't make passes as girls who wear glasses.'

Can she just take his teeth? Should he go back and get them and go to a different dentist for a second opinion? Do we take the refund and go somewhere else and start over? comment from op quote:She walked in, sat him up in the chair and curtly said "we need to talk, your expectations are unreasonable, im not going to fix them.

Akratic Method posted:I honestly don't know enough about the experience of getting dentures to have any idea who's being unreasonable here. Like, do you always need to kind break them/your gums in and he won't accept this and demands an impossible perfection? Or are they just wrong and the dentist hosed up and is going "nah, fixing it sounds hard, gently caress off"? Karen and her husband are being unreasonable. You have to clear a very high bar of obnoxiousness for a medical professional (especially a dentist) to fire you as a patient. Yes, you do need some time to acclimate to them for some time and they're never gonna be as good as your birth teeth or implants. Think of it like a glass eye or prosthetic limb. You take time to adapt fully and even once you get there, it's impossible for it to be exactly the same. OP and her husband are refusing to accept this which the dentist has 100% explained and demand impossible perfection. If fixing it were possible, the dentist would do it because it'd mean more money and a satisfied patient. Unscrupulous dentists (who definitely exist) don't really tend to lie about offering refunds; they mostly tell you you have problems that don't exist and then charge you for fixing them, like evil mechanics.

It's such a weird post, because why would the law work like that anywhere? It's telling you "always try to steal, either you get a free item, or you have to pay the worth of the item, like you'd bought it." OP of course does not specify the country he lives in. I assume from his behavior, he's an idiot and is confused about how law works.

Either way they think they're smart like doctors, who are also stupid but at least have the excuse of having to work for years on a schedule designed by people who took cocaine all day and then heroine to fall alseep every night when you could buy miracle speedball tonics everywhere. Idiot chuds are drawn to engineering. If you knew any of the people who later became engineers when they were younger, they were always Like That. Doctors are occasionally good within their field, but are famously Bad With Money. If you look into your state's monthly newsletter of which doctors lost their licenses, it's usually not to do with malpractice, but embezzling from their practices so they can invest in crypto or dog heelies or soup tubes.

AngryRobotsInc posted:In my experience, good OBGYN clinics go hard on HIPAA violations, because statistically pregnancy is the most dangerous time of a woman's life, and not because of the pregnancy itself. Then I hope this is a good one. She needs to be fired, preferably into the sun. AITA for not wanting to eat off my friend’s half-clean dishes? quote:I (23F) went over to my friend’s place for dinner, and while she was cooking in the kitchen for like half an hour, she was going off on a tangent about random different things, and she mentioned at some point that she hand-washed the dishes today instead of using her dish washer.

Alchenar posted:Dishwashing machines aren't sterile. No, but if you're using your knives to eat and not perform surgery, sanitizing them is adequate. If you have a working dishwasher, you should use it. It gets your dishes cleaner than hand washing them and uses a ton less water.

feedmegin posted:I work in tech. The one place I worked for that stopped giving us free coffee, stopped giving us paychecks on time a few weeks later, and then stopped giving us paychecks at all. In some places, when the higher-ups hear the death knell for the company, they want to try to cut costs as much as possible before the inevitable and tell the middle managers to do everything they can to make it as annoying to work there as possible to try to get people to quit to avoid paying severances. One strategy is to start charging/pennypinching for stuff that used to be free like coffee or, in an office I used to work in, napkins. RoboRodent posted:I had a job years back where the owners got us a keurig and put out a little cup to collect coffee money. No set price, just to contribute for coffee pods. This was a place that way perhaps technically a small family business but was also bringing in serious money. Like, the owners had a Filipina immigrant nanny for their kids, pretty sure through the temporary foreign workers program, until they got in trouble for never giving her a day off, so when she managed to quit, they replaced her with two new Filipina immigrants and then bought a house for them to live in so that they didn't have to have them around when they weren't working. Yikes. I worked someplace where the boss bought us a keurig out of petty cash. He'd provide pods but we could bring our own. I bought some online from the office supply store, but our department was downsized before they arrived. Hope whoever was working there a couple weeks later enjoyed them lol. feedmegin posted:Do you mean hoteps in general? Because yes, it is.
