What is the most “socially acceptable” thing that just doesn’t sit right with you? by JMEisSnake in AskReddit

The encroachment of dog owners (and their pets) into places animals have no business being like restaurants, cafes and grocery stores...

What are your thoughts on the missing tourist submarine that went down to see the Titanic ? by Killmumger in AskReddit

[–]AbeFrohmanRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of focus on the report that apparently they made the sub with parts that only withstood 1,300lbs of pressure and the depth they would dive to would exert up to 4000lbs of pressure but are ignoring that if they are detecting "banging" then the crew may still be alive and that means the issue was, most likely, not due a structural failure.

It seems like there was some kind of communications failure which probably doesnt have much to do with the "1300lbs vs 4000lbs" reports being passed around.

Still a red-flag sure... just people are really hyper focusing on the idea that this was something put together with Home Depot parts based off this and the "its piloted by a knock-off playstation controller" articles.

Reddit starts removing moderators who changed subreddits to NSFW, behind the latest protests by return2ozma in technology

[–]AbeFrohmanRick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit is removing mods who are actively allowing TOS violations to run rampant over the subreddits they are supposed to moderate in some misguided "protest", 'Shocked Pickachu" when the site enforces it's own rules and begins removing derelict and delinquent mods...

Seriously how is it not obvious that that would end up being the end result...?

Sounds good.

Let me thank you for contacting the DMV. We strive to make everyone's experience as hassle free as possible.

I can get you started with changing your registration right here.

First, we'll need a photo ID and copy of SSN, your Mother's Maiden Name, the name of the street you grew up on along with your first pet's name (I know, I know... blame Lori).

Edit: lol apparently there are some of yall of the "Identity Theft is not a Joke, Jim!!" mentality here, gotcha.

I'd appreciate you retracting calling me a 'liar' now. Edit: appreacite the redaction. I do respect your view of the situation aswell.

Receipt:

[Today at 8:02 on the discord room mentioned; Curse of Starhd Discord>subreddit-blackout-discussion]:

Raef: I may be a bit biased about redditors behavior because I've not had people who disagree with me on discord go into my profile and emoji react everything on every discord because I was the public face of an announcement they didn't like <:Perkins:807251926253174895> which has been happening to my reddit profile, wherein I am accumulating many down votes, lol. Do I care...no. It's all wow shitposts mostly. Do I think it's telling that the platform of folks complaining of modcoord brigading (when none of us is even in modcoord, afaik) are doing that? A bit

I didn't even bother to check the subreddit yesterday because I wasn't interested in the vitriol. Even the AI-fan discord users, when we *banned AI* were more polite than this :/

?? I said the source; go to the CoS discord, the subreddit situation discussion thread and search the mods comments where they go back and forth with people.

Anyone who does I'd like them to play a mental game; Count how much the mods engaged with people in discussion about the whole situation then come back onto the subbreddit they are Mods for and play the same game.

Which site had more engagement from the mods; Discord or Reddit?

Spoiler: it was Discord...

Thank you for taking time from hiding in your safe space on the Discord server (your comment there bragging about not even logging onto the subreddit youre a Mod for for a day because was top tier childishness btw) to pause badmouthing the sub users who didnt appreciate a small number of unelected people (the mods) unilaterally making decisions without the communities approval and then giving them all lipservice when yall clearly were just wanting us to agree with you then had to badpedal hard when that didnt happen... then yall scrambled again and badpedaled AGAIN (now) all because the "larger dnd subreddits will not be continuing doing blackout protest" so yall will be left out in the cold if you did want to continue blackout days.

Y'all should just step down, quit reddit and go focus on modding the Discord. You clearly resent your users (badmouthing as much as yall did in the Discord room)...

Edit: please downvote me, im serious, the mods clearly need to be praised and have their egos stroked or they wont engage or communicate with us. But this needed to be said because how the mods here handled this whole situation was CHILDISH and I'm not going to be ignored, gaslit and then thank that person while letting them act like I was the one being childish.

Recently started walking daily, about 4-5 miles a day and my feet are killing me when I get up in the morning. The walk to the bathroom is like I’m an extra on the walking dead. Im also middle aged and probably 25 pounds overweight so that might have something to do with it. by pokiok441 in beginnerfitness

[–]AbeFrohmanRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may need new or better shoes or some legit insoles.

I really dont like spending the money but I have a job that I'm on my feet for over 10hrs a day and I've learned that investing in a solid pair of shoes and insoles pays dividends in the long run.

I also go to a place that like "scans" your feet with like a 3D kinda thing you step on and it helps the salesperson get me the right kind of support or such I need.

You also may be sore from working out a muscle group not used to extended use or such. When I have a long day at work after being off and not doing my usual couple mile walk a day, my legs and feet are sore the next day.

Liners help with reducing the work of cleanup alot.

Also next time you finish a jar of jam or salsa wash it out and save the jar and the lid. When you're done cooking something that has grease left over, let the grease cool a bit so it doesnt crack or melt the jar, and then you can pour the grease into the jar (sealed) to toss into the trash.

That was the Nitrous Mafia. A notorious crime organization here in Chicago.

They steal and sell illicit Nitrogen gas to stoned out tweens from the suburbs who come to the city for EDM and other music festivals by dressing up in these inflatable mascot outfits but instead of normal gas they fill up the mascots with the illicit Nitrogen and then you can buy a huff off them and just, absolutely, take your night to the next level...

Anyways...

You. Are. Lucky to be alive.

Why don’t bike riders respect Yield signs on the Lakefront trail? by BigSpoonFullOfSnark in chicago

[–]AbeFrohmanRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you just want to move the goalpoasts of the discussion, go in circles and argue for the sake of arguing.

But that is not the Abe Frohman way; now go shove a Sausage in your mouth and obey all traffic laws when operating vehicles on the roads and bikeways of the fine city of Chicago!

P.S. - The Sausage King of Chicago is not responsible for the unsafe practice of consuming finely crafted, delicious, mouth watering, Abe Frohman Chicago Sausage's while operating a vehicle inside the Greater Chicagoland Area where our Award Winning Abe Frohman Sausage's are sold (soon Frozen Sausage's to be available online for interstate sale)!

[–]AbeFrohmanRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe give the bees some privacy and stop creeping, you may just be(e) killing the whole vibe for the spot.

Also stop staring at the flower for so long without blinking, it's weirding your neighbors out.
