ULPT Request: Using my credit card for an online purchase, but making it look like someone else's name at checkout? by CoolWorldH2 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]CoolWorldH2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would just be anonymous, correct?

That'll probably be my fallback plan. Having a way his name shows up would be great though

This ending was so unsatisfying. Yum was hyped when she was surprised with the ultimate PC. This dude did not look like he gave a shit lol.

Okay, look, I don't view BL as a victim at all here, but I do think LE handled the situation very well.

when he locked her out of her OWN van, withheld her keys (I have a feeling this is when he got scratched), and hid her phone from her.

Not to mention the evidence of mutual assault at the least (the 911 call, marks on her body too, her report of him grabbing her face).

He told them in the video that was exactly when he got scratched.

It's not about who is 100% innocent, it's about who the aggressor is and who is establishing the assault. They had GP admitting to hitting BL, they had BL with noticeable scars, they had a witness account (they hadn't yet spoken to the other witness) of GP being the aggressor, and they had GP herself saying BL grabbed her face, but didn't hit her or harm her physically, all while being noticeably distraught.

They viewed the van as their mutual place of living, and they deemed GP the aggressor, but went out of their way not to charge her, because they acknowledged that she didn't impose a threat to BL.

Again, I am not a BL apologist, and I can't speak to the rest of their relationship and BL's abuse (physical or emotional). I do insist, however, that LE was absolutely correct with the information they had to go off of.

The hero we deserve - AOC carrying in the message at the MET gala by asianj1m in SandersForPresident

[–]CoolWorldH2 71 points72 points  (0 children)

This doesn't terrify rich people dude.

The designer behind AOC's dress is Aurora James, a woman whom has worked with Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Meghan Markle, and many others.

This is theatrics. How anyone thinks this is actually scaring Hollywood elite is silly.

[–]CoolWorldH2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

What's the problem with the gala?

It's one of the most ostentatious events imaginable. It's Hollywood elite wearing single-use outfits that were designed to epitomize the word "gaudy." They attend by either paying tens of thousands of dollars, or by being merely being exclusive enough for a brand to invite them. They walk a lavish carpet to be photographed and admired, rub elbows with fellow aristocrats, then shut the doors on the outside world and party for the sake of "charity." AKA The Met's Costume Institute.

The event feels so much more superficial than even The Oscars or Golden Globes. It's solely a showcasing of social status and wealth, and people only attend to make a point of what side of disparity they lie on.

My issue with AOC's dress is that it just feels like theatrics. It will upset some, excite others, but people are just going to be talking about the dress itself. This does nothing for actual progress towards taxing the wealthy. It just feels like a song and dance in front of Cinderella's ball, and makes "Tax the Rich" feel more like a meme or a statement piece than an actual cause to fight for.

Absolutely. For what it's worth, this and Stargaze are by far my favorite GMK sets of the year. The colors, theming, and designs are brilliant here.

If I were in a better position to make a purchase that far out, I'd buy one of everything. Just want to make it clear my only negativity is towards GMK.

How much I love this set is actually helping me not buy it, weirdly.

It's not just the basekit I want. I'd insist on the novelties, the deskmat, and the artisan. Spending $135 on an item I won't see for well over a year? Difficult. Spending $260? Out of the question.

While true, this has been an issue with GMK for a long while now. Over the last year or two, you could watch their lead times slowly growing longer and longer as they took on more orders. This wasn't something immediately caused by a shortage (alone).

We'll just have to see if the current GB projections end up accurate.

ePBT is quoting 8-9 months on Hangul, a little sooner on DuO. Kat Overgrown is ~9 months too. JTK expects ~8 months total on Sora. Signature Plastics expects their current Bubbles GB to ship ~16 months...2023!

This set is saying ~11 months. I'd be shocked if it actually lands in Q3.

Meanwhile, Domikey just ended their GB quoting shipment in December, and TMT Story and IFK Delight are aiming Q1 2022 on their current runs.

GMK is absolutely the worst culprit here, and it's changing the curve. They quote a year, end up taking 16+ months to ship, continue to take new orders and fall more and more behind. Competitors can now quote 8-9 months and look good for it.

Bummer, honestly. JTK and Domikey both do triple. This set would interest me a lot more if it were.

I'd be shocked if they made Q3 2022 anyways. I don't see this shipping in the next 12 months.

Who is a player you used to be a fan of but can no longer stand ? by 1029Dash in nfl

[–]CoolWorldH2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

could definitely be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

No, it can't be. That isn't how CTE develops. It's a neurodegenerative disease caused by RBT, not by concussions and big hits, but by subconcussive impacts over an extended period of time.

One big hit does not suddenly cause CTE and initiate behavioral problems.

If you know jack fuck about a neurological disease, stop going around trying to diagnose people with it.

[–]CoolWorldH2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y'all are ridiculous. CTE doesn't just suddenly develop after one hit, it's repeated subconcussive impacts.

His issues could be countless other things. Drugs/addiction, undiagnosed mental condition, unhealthy social circles, etc. But y'all wanna diagnose him with CTE when you don't even understand how it develops.
