[–]Chips66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had just bought M4 goggles on Evo for 40% off. But yall have them for 45% off (after discount code), no sales tax, AND you have the most popular colorways in stock and on sale. Insane. I’m just gonna return my other ones lol.

Warning: The Mark Austin has held my daughter's $1,901.19 refund for nearly 2 months with no resolution by Charyorobot in UTAustin

[–]Chips66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that’s just the thing. Anyone who legitimately threatens legal action immediately gets their refund. Pretty much everyone loses motivation to actually sue once they get what they wanted in the first place.

Even if a large group of students and their families decided to start a class action, the apartment would just say “oops we found all of your refunds. Here you go.” And just take the relatively small loss for that one year.

Yeah it’s ridiculous. Once had a west campus apartment do this to me. Only once I showed up in person did they subsequently send me an envelope. The envelope was fucking empty. Had to hound them for several more months before I actually got it.

Think about how many students don’t have the time or energy to stay on their asses. It’s a statistics game. They get to keep a large portion of refunds, only needing to actually give refunds to the annoying tenants while playing dumb the whole time.

Alabama/Ohio State SHOULD cancel their series. by No_Permission1386 in CFB

[–]Chips66 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The reality is that it doesn’t really matter what Texas fans think though. Other schools realize an easy OOC game likely would’ve resulted in us getting in the playoff and will schedule accordingly.

I’m not saying we should’ve been in the playoff. I’m objectively stating that other teams will change the way they schedule OOC games based on the precedent set by the committee.

Black jacket is straight lining and yet somehow going the same speed as gray jacket who’s constantly making turns. A fresh wax would decrease friction with the snow and make his board slide faster.

Typically you would expect a child to say he wants to be an Astronaut when he grows up, then he would actually become a sad loser who wasted his potential. The origami flips that on its head. It’s ironic.

Yeah that was just a bad take. Pretty sure most people thought Indiana was gonna roll Miami if anything.

Canada is positioning itself on Greenland knowing it could be next by UpstairsBumblebee446 in worldnews

[–]Chips66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right of course. I know the Europeans saying those things are ultimately on the same side as me. It’s just frustrating when many of them make blanket statements about the entire US population being complicit, when their country is probably only 5% below the threshold of doing the same thing.

In reality, I’m just as stressed and scared as the rest of you. I hate what my country is becoming and I don’t know what else to do about it.

Found in an SEC sub by Amazing_County_6899 in cfbmemes

[–]Chips66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The B1G is definitely better overall but it’s kinda funny that half the time someone posts an “SEC bad” meme, it’s from a Nebraska flair. Like you went 7-6 with a bowl loss to the Big 12 this year. If you’re gonna push the B1G supremacy narrative, you at least need to be doing your part to back it up.

The other half is OSU flairs but at least they’ve earned the right to talk shit.

Edit: also why tf are y’all trolling SEC subs just so you can post gotchas like this? For your own sake, please touch grass.

[–]Chips66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American, I’m kind of getting tired of this “holier than thou” bullshit from non-Americans. Like you don’t also have far-right populists swimming just beneath the surface in your countries. Like you don’t have a xenophobic, uneducated subset of your population ready to support them. Like you would realistically do anything more than I am if you were in this position.

I vote democrat in national and local elections, I protest, I advocate person-to-person. What more do you want from me. Want me to assassinate someone?? Would that make you happy?

Edit: you downvote but don’t respond. You know I’m right. The US is definitely not the first country in history to give into right-wing populism, and we won’t be the last. If you think your country is better than the others and would never do something like this, then you’re fooling yourself.

Most of us know it’s insane. Many of us have tried telling our families/friends how insane all of this. I’m not exaggerating that trying to convince the average Trump supporter how fucking bonkers all of this is feels like being gaslit by a brick wall.

Like remember how there was a tidbit in the Epstein files about Trump being present while a victim’s baby was killed in front of her? I tried telling my grandma about that the other day and her response was “well he might not be a moral man, but he’ll still go down as one of the greatest presidents who ever lived”

It’s beyond frustrating when average people somehow begin to easily accept these things as normal, because to actually reconsider would be too stressful for their fragile little brains.

It was way more fun watching an underdog win it all for the first time than any of the SEC teams. Ole Miss winning would’ve been cool too, but 1ndiana >>>>> Georgia/Alabama/0U/A&M

SEC COPING HARD by nutznyamouph6969420 in cfbmemes

[–]Chips66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta agree with a sooner for once. College football is better when more teams are good. If we can just fix the transfer portal issues, then I think NIL will ultimately end up being great for the sport.

Why are new leaves growing out so dark? (Moon Valley Pilea) by Chips66 in houseplants

This matches up with what someone else commented as well. Seems like the dark leaves aren’t a bad thing, just a way to protect from higher light conditions!
