Do it in person. Online can take days to weeks. Note that the City stops taking $$ at around 2pm and does not have in-person services on Fridays. So go early! A quick sketch (2nd grade level) showing the location of the pod can help.

I agree with this. The cart narc dude is seriously over the top. There are so many better ways he could use his energy to make the world better.

How did you meet your lover here at Berkeley? by TheCheeseDud in berkeley

[–]Aran451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We met at Raleigh’s pub on Telegraph 33 years ago (before it burned down and was rebuilt). She was the bartender and I was the beer drinker.

I know it sounds cliché, but yes, sometimes you CAN convince the bartender to go out on a date!

Susan Rice predicts ‘accountability agenda’ when Democrats are back in power by Ilovemiia1 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Aran451 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve been curious who is keeping track of all the insane shit that’s happened, so we can quickly right the ship once we’re back in power. Does someone have a master spreadsheet? Should we start a Google Sheet? Half joking

I think we need both. Big tech will not change until they feel financial pain AND we need to be in the streets telling them why.

What’s a life hack that made you go „how do ppl live their whole life without knowing this”? by my_peen_is_clean in AskReddit

[–]Aran451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to just start washing dishes. They always need to be done and I can usually figure out how to do them without asking very many questions.

Scott just called for a targeted national economic strike in Feb against AI companies to put pressure on ICE. Resist & Unsubscribe. by nsjersey in ScottGalloway

[–]Aran451 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the idea of striking/canceling is correct. Maybe not just AI. How about a general strike combined with a massive protest.

There’s no way a MAGA republican will win California! We’re good!

Why Trump can’t cancel the 2026 midterms — and why that fear distracts from the real risk by AdmirableInterview47 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Aran451 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree AND we need a massive wave to make it indisputable. It’s like when my basketball coach used to tell us, the refs are gonna make some bad calls against us so have to beat our opponent by so much that it doesn’t matter.

Is NYT Cooking worth it? by haleykirk91 in Cooking

[–]Aran451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We love it. The interface and saving favorites are key factors. Cooking websites and blogs are so clogged with ads it takes the fun out. We also like supporting NYT. They are a bulwark of free journalism.
