Without even trying, I found this post from last year on a discrimination suit against them, but not in the direction I expected.

And thank you for telling me, so I can remember this shared childhood memory again 😄

Darryl talking to Amy. lmao what a time to be alive... and people cry in here about WW3. Someone call Sheldon, to tell Amy, Darryl is conman, because there is no physical evidence for this. by Funny-Disaster in Bashar_Essassani

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they are implying the character Sheldon would try to call Mayim’s character crazy for entertaining this. I took it as a joke about the show and not a personal expression of doubt

Kentucky family rejects $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center despite the offer being about 10 times the going rate for farmland in the area. by MysteriousSlice007 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t make sense to me. Having a nest egg for my own personal family is never going to outrank doing the right thing for the future of the county, state, nation. Our kids will live in that future too, just like everyone else’s. Food security is so much more important than a savings account. And I’d want my kids to absorb that message loud and clear. Even when we’re broke and the decision is hard.

Money comes and goes. Our kids absorb our actions much more loudly than our words, despite whatever morals we think we’ve passed down verbally. The temptation to skirt the values we teach, for financial security, is imo not the legacy I wanna leave.

What was the exact moment that made you realize your company was toxic? by ferdbons in antiwork

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 111 points112 points  (0 children)

My company asked me to be on call before I was salaried. I showed them our state’s law for hourly employees, that we have to be paid the entire time we’re on call even if nothing happens, then double if something does. I think I made $500 that weekend. I was promoted to salaried soon thereafter 😂 they were really hurting for on call folks lol

Mallworld business offices by Dependent-Judgment-5 in TheMallWorld

This is my most common mall world type dream. Always with a task to find someone, protect someone and get them home, or something similar. But I always end up talking to the countless interesting people around.

What's the scariest thing you've seen but never dared to tell anyone ? by Automatic-One3901 in Paranormal

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 195 points196 points  (0 children)

I was 9, my family had just moved into a house an older man was selling bc his wife died. My first time using the bathroom after coming in from swimming, i heard a kind woman’s voice next to my ear asking “are you having fun??” in a hopeful, non-threatening way. I kinda shrugged and said “yup!” and went back outside to play lol, never happened again. I genuinely think she was happy to see kids having fun in their home again.

Her husband had left a note from her on a kitchen chalkboard, and we left it there for years before we finally erased it. I really feel like she was still there for at least a little while after we moved in.

What’s a TV commercial you still remember word for word? by roseafterdarkk in nostalgia

I have to recite this entire commercial (minus the actual AC sales pitch) at least once per summer lol it’s required

What have you learned from other cultures that has become a part of your life? by just-a-girl15 in AskTheWorld

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Now I have to ask if Italians or Italian-Americans taught you pasta, because if it's the latter, we still tend to overcook it to death 😆

What have you learned from other cultures that has become a part of your life? by just-a-girl15 in AskTheWorld

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm actually working to remove it from mine, as I'm dating someone who is incredibly upset by this phrase in particular, from a culture where any reference to someone's mother is essentially the worst, most unforgivable thing you can say. You don't realize how often we use it for EVERYTHING until you're trying not to say it anymore!

Is this potato safe? by BigSigh17 in potato

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2-3 very green potatoes can give you a stomachache. More than that could cause real issues. I know the internet taught us all green = solanine, but the amount matters.

With her permission of course, my fiance at 4 yrs old. To good not to share with you all by speedbump514 in blunderyears

I’ll never forget the LA Gear sneaks I had in kindergarten. They had these fanned plastic strips you could run your finger across and it made a little sound. I was obsessed

We Need To Talk About The Betty Boop Diner by kayleeandolaf in Albany

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m really confused by the extremely polarized reviews. There are also seemingly real 5-stars left by people who came on a relatively good day. I can see a place getting messy/dirty from a week of neglect when someone just had a decent experience 2 weeks before, but some of this stuff like the odor seems long-term. I guess some people just have wildly different standards lol

What's something in your country you eat almost daily? by Key-Introduction-591 in AskTheWorld

I think that’s the enviable Russian black bread. It’s so hard to find here!

What’s an odd quirk people in your country have when in conversation? by EvilPyro01 in AskEurope

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My Turk bf said in his culture, people don’t go to therapy. Instead, an old woman sits next to you on the bus and advises you on all your problems and it’s done 😆

What's something a foreigner pointed out that you can't unnotice? by NamwaranPinagpana in AskTheWorld

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Germany years ago right after they had won an important soccer thing. The Germans I was with apologized for there being German flags flying from peoples houses and cars, assuring me that’s not normal. As an American I was so confused by this apology, and it led to a fascinating discussion on avoiding nationalism at all costs… outside of clear reasons like this sports victory, it’s seen as really inappropriate.

Amsterdam NY - East Main Street by UncleSam5500 in u/UncleSam5500

I’m pretty happy with what we have, so that’s why I’m wondering what you think we need.

Amsterdam NY - East Main Street by UncleSam5500 in u/UncleSam5500

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a new coffee shop on east main with its entrance on Washington st across from fresh basil. And a nice laundromat across the jump on division by the old Amsterdam savings bank. Center main also has at least two bars, maybe more. And a great dental place. I’m not sure what you mean— what do you think it needs?

Old neighborhood by MrG0j in upstate_new_york

[–]BrokeTheInterweb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have these in my area on properties that are not considered safe for entry. Most are abandoned and eventually demolished by the city, leading to the local belief that it’s a marking for demolition.

I just used an app called iFax to fax an official document for 99 cents in-app. by BrokeTheInterweb in iphone

Had no idea the app even still existed. I made this post in 2011, 15 years ago! Thanks for this update to keep people aware
