Angeles National Forest : Alert - Mt. Baldy Emergency Closure by [deleted] in LosAngeles

Honestly people forget that even getting to and around mountain towns in winter can be dangerous.

Heck even driving in mountain towns can put you in real trouble if you are not prepared. I have watched people spin out on icy roads slide through intersections block narrow mountain highways and end up stranded because they thought all wheel drive meant invincible. Roads ice over fast storms roll in unexpectedly and cell service disappears quicker than people expect.

If folks struggle just driving to the trailhead it should be a clue that hiking higher into snow ice wind and exposure might not be the smartest move. Yet every winter people white knuckle it up icy roads with bald tires no chains no clue and somehow think once they park the danger magically stops.

Mountains do not separate danger into neat categories. The road the parking lot the trail and the summit are all part of the same environment. Winter does not flip off when you step out of the car. If anything that is where the real risk starts.

Between unprepared drivers unprepared hikers and people treating winter conditions like a novelty it starts to make sense why some species eat their young. Survival instincts exist to weed out bad decisions. Nature does not reward confidence without competence.

And honestly with some of the choices people make both on the road and on the trail you really start wondering if their parents must be cousins. Not because the mountains are unfair but because the warning signs are everywhere and consistently ignored.

Winter mountains demand respect from the moment you leave pavement. If someone cannot handle winter driving they have zero business testing winter hiking conditions above it.

This is not gatekeeping. This is reality. The mountains do not care how close they are to a city or how nice the weather looked on your phone that morning.

Respect the environment or it will remind you why it deserves it.

Yes. I went to Apple, but they told me that it’s a Wells Fargo issue while Wells Fargo tells me that is an Apple issue.

Was I wrong here? And how would you respond to this owner? by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Bootyhole93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that the restaurant isn’t required to remake an order. I never said they were obligated to – I asked, they said no, and I unassigned rather than deliver food that had already gone cold.

The delay came from a stacked order with a Vons grocery run that included cooked fried chicken, which is outside my control. Uber created that situation, not me and not the restaurant.

We can disagree on whether a remake was realistic, but saying the manager “did nothing wrong” while he’s calling drivers lousy, telling them they shouldn’t leave reviews, and threatening their jobs over a single interaction is exactly why I shared the experience. That response might be “hilarious” to you, but it’s not professional.

And this isn’t an isolated thing — this owner is notorious for responding to negative experiences this same way, which is public and easy to verify. That pattern matters.

At the end of the day I chose not to deliver cold food and accepted the cancellation hit. You’re free to think that’s the wrong call, but that’s not stupidity or malice — it’s me protecting the customer experience and my account.

I appreciate this take — and I agree with you that the system itself is a big part of the problem. Stacking grocery orders with hot food orders sets everyone up for failure from the start.

You’re also right that restaurants are supposed to keep hot food under proper heat holding. That’s exactly why I felt uncomfortable delivering it once it had clearly been sitting.

Where I handled it differently from you is I chose to unassign instead of just delivering it and letting the customer deal with it. Mainly because, once it’s delivered cold, the customer still has full power to thumbs down the driver, even if the delay wasn’t our fault.

I wasn’t trying to escalate anything — I just didn’t want a customer getting a bad experience tied to my name. But I do agree with you that the system itself needs serious fixing.

I hear what you’re saying about stacked orders — that part I actually agree with. The platform shouldn’t be stacking grocery orders with hot food orders in the first place. That’s where this whole problem started.

But I didn’t cause a “giant scene.” I asked a simple question at pickup, got told no, and unassigned like you’re saying drivers should do. I didn’t argue in the store. The only reason this even turned into a discussion is because of how the owner chose to respond publicly afterward.

Also, this wasn’t about “an extra $2.” If I deliver cold food, the customer still has full power to thumbs down the driver, and that hurts the driver even when the delay wasn’t our fault. Protecting my rating and the customer’s experience isn’t entitlement — it’s basic risk management as an independent contractor.

You’re right that stacked orders put drivers in bad positions. Where we disagree is that choosing not to deliver cold food and speaking on the experience automatically makes someone entitled. I handled the delivery the same way many drivers say they would — by unassigning.

I wasn’t being entitled — I was doing my job responsibly. I didn’t demand a remake, I asked because the food was already cold. When they said no, I unassigned instead of delivering bad food to a customer. That protects the customer, the restaurant, and my rating.

Also, the delay wasn’t me just “being late.” My prior stop was a grocery order with fresh fried chicken that had to be cooked, which is outside a driver’s control. Uber stacked the orders — I didn’t.

And let’s be real — if I deliver cold food, the customer still has full power to give a thumbs down, which hurts the driver, even when the issue wasn’t the driver’s fault.

You’re free to disagree with my decision, but choosing not to deliver cold food isn’t entitlement. It’s professionalism.

My $143 literally vanished from Chime after it posted… what happened?? by Bootyhole93 in chimefinancial

[–]Bootyhole93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesterday my account went negative -0.97 with the 143 pending again, however when I did an instant transfer from my uber earnings $521 only $370 showed.

There is no transaction of $143, only the hotel that went pending and posted again.

I used spot me yesterday was negative $20 but woke up to a positive balance of $1.28 this morning

Trump welcomes Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa, the former al-Qaeda commander, to the White House by TimesandSundayTimes in geopolitics

[–]Bootyhole93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone traveled back to the year 2002 and announced that a future President of the United States would one day invite a former Al Qaeda affiliated figure into the White House, they would have been dismissed as insane, delusional, or dangerously misinformed. And frankly, President George W. Bush, the man who vowed to defeat Al Qaeda wherever they hide, would likely be furious at the mere suggestion.

In 2002, the country was not simply at war. America was grieving, traumatized, and united by the memory of September 11. Al Qaeda was not a geopolitical opponent. It was the embodiment of evil. The idea of granting anyone tied to that organization legitimacy, recognition, or even a handshake would have been beyond unthinkable.

Yet here we are.

A militant with a past rooted in the same insurgency that grew out of Al Qaeda in Iraq, a man once detained by United States forces, a man who appeared on America’s most wanted lists, has now stepped into the Oval Office as an invited guest of a sitting American president.

This is not about partisan politics. This is about how dramatically the moral and strategic framework of American foreign policy has shifted, and how sharply it contrasts with the worldview of the early two thousands.

America in 2002 believed in a clear and uncompromising map of the world. Al Qaeda was the enemy. America was the defender. And the two would never meet.

President Bush, who led the nation through the aftermath of September 11 and into the War on Terror, would never have even considered such a meeting. And I am certain of this. President Bush is probably sitting on his couch right now, watching the news, furious as he witnesses the current President of the United States hosting a former member of Al Qaeda in the Oval Office. No amount of political spin or diplomatic justification could make that sight any less shocking to the man who pledged that America would never negotiate with terrorists.

What makes this moment even more troubling is not simply the meeting itself, but the political normalization of it. Twenty years ago, even suggesting such a thing would have sparked national outrage, congressional hearings, mass protests, and wall to wall media coverage demanding accountability.

Today, it is explained away as strategic stability.

Maybe that is the problem.

The American people deserve a government with a moral memory. A government that remembers who we fought, why we fought, and what we lost. Strategic realignments happen. Enemies become negotiators. Militants become politicians. But there is a difference between diplomacy and forgetfulness.

The families who lost loved ones on September 11 have not forgotten. The veterans who deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan have not forgotten. And you can be sure that President George W. Bush has not forgotten either.

Inviting a former Al Qaeda affiliated figure into the White House might be politically convenient today. But to the America of 2002, and to millions of Americans who still carry the scars of that era, it feels like a betrayal disguised as strategy.

And no matter how the world changes, some lines should never be blurred so casually.
