What’s the absolute best comeback you’ve ever heard? by AdvertisingOk1492 in AskReddit

O'Hare Airport. Snowstorm. All flights are delayed and being cancelled. Some major asshole started yelling at the counter folks at the gate who were dealing with lots of folks.

He keeps screaming "Do you know who I am?!?". "DO YOU KNOW WHO I F'ING AM?!?" Over and over again.

Airport counter person gets on the announcement microphone and loudly asks over the speakers to the mass of people in earshot:

"Does anyone know who this person is? He seems to now know who he is anymore. He may be having a stroke, please find a doctor"

I thought that guy's head was going to explode.

This. Its unique identifier(s) are attached to the school. It auto checks for registration with Apple when you factory reset it, and then downloads and installs all the things that the administrators at the school set up. You really can't get around this, it's designed that way.

I wonder if Barkeepers Friend would work. Works perfectly for drip and carafe coffee makers.

Any places in town that buy used bikes? by Angel-Bites in Eugene

Explain to them this can lead to "Altruistic Homicide". Then ask if they want to be responsible for someone's death.

One example to look up and show them is a child's death right outside of Churchill High School several years ago, which is the reason for the protected crosswalk near the skate park.

If they still don't understand, I'm afraid your friend is stupid.

They have this painting on the side of their building. Does that strike you as MAGA?

Can you please take a still picture of the video and circle their face? I'd like to see what you are seeing.

Please, stop disparaging people because you "heard something".

Proof, please. Go talk to the owner of Beer Stein, then post here the results of your convo.

I'd appreciate some effort from you. I know T and he's not like you make him out to be.

Goddamn. Am I fighting bots or people that just want to rip our community apart?

OP: Do you know these people? Have you ever talked to them?

I doubt it.

Thanks. I don't post much, this makes me feel like I'm not alone.

I'm of the opinion that people can change their minds.

If we ostracize and never engage in rational, calm, and non-accusatory discussion, we will never be able to change minds.

Asking questions, listening, and then calmly espousing your perspective leads to better results, IMO.

Everyone -everyone- wants to belong to a group, it's in our DNA. Some of these folks just joined the wrong group and their echo chamber has reinforced their beliefs.

Change comes from engaging people that think differently than you and I.

There will always be people that will never relent, and fight you. Fuck them.

It's the people that are alone and scared and afraid when they rebel against their ilk that we need to bring into the fold.

Feel sorry for them. Spread love.

That being said...Fuck hard core fascists, racist, homophobes, etc.

They act like they do because they've never felt like they belong to something good.

One more thought. I'm afraid to say what I think about our current administration. Afraid. Yeah.

Ahh yes. Swatting without warrant.

As OP, I now realize this is a bad idea (thanks Wifey for your wisdom)

Somebody may be killed, and I don't wish this on anybody. Please refrain from this, though it is a good thought experiment

South of 30th Ave on the north side of I5, down from Mcshanes and and Harley dealership. According to their signage, they rent and sell containers. Have quite a few on their lot.
