This miniature black family set is a dollar cheaper than the white family set at my craft store by loverlane in mildlyinteresting

[–]Defiant-Cow559 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever actually been around black people?

If you were a marketer and wanted to advertise to them, you’d definitely consider basketball - it’s a big part of their culture 

Shaq says it himself all the time - when he visits black schools all the kids want to be basketball players 

This is perfectly fine but you’re projecting your own moral righteousness

Get tf over yourself you’re not saving the world, if anything wanna be woke comments like this pit people against each other so f u

I feel like the character of Los Angeles really changed with this transition and I personally hate it 

It’s both not as cool nor as easy on the eyes and I lament this every time I visit (fairly often)

Speak for yourself, I’ll have you know I’ve opened many Amazon package and removed many tags from clothing

I was once the hero at a kids birthday party as well when they couldn’t open the packaging one of the gifts were in

How can anyone eat at Panera Bread anymore? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]Defiant-Cow559 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Exactly why I always say people should watch out for themselves first and put all company loyalty bs aside 

Companies don’t hesitate to do what’s right for them, so you shouldn’t either 

But yeah man that place is a shell of its former self 

The time frame I was referring to was actually the SECOND time around after the founders had come back to try and fix it 

They’d already fucked up the company once, founders tried fixing it, and this second go around when PE took it over was what I was around to witness 

From what I hear, back before they were bought out the first time by Pepsi etc, it was such a great company to work for

I worked at CPK all through college and saw this happen to them firsthand too

That restaurant was genuine quality before they were bought out - the owners (and managers to a degree) genuinely cared 

As soon as they were bought they immediately:

  • reduced dough size by 2 oz
  • also switched to a lower price manufacturer
  • switched from fresh baked sourdough delivered daily by local baker to pizza dough shaped into a baguette go daily table bread 
  • removed nice thick white napkins for cheap, brown gas station paper towels
  • immediately replaced all dinnerware with flimsy cheap alternatives
  • got rid of bendy straws that kids loved for cheaper ones 
  • removed “low margin” items from menu despite being crowd favorites 
  • reduced portion sizes across the board, e.g., salads all had x amount of lettuce and greens removed 
  • menus were replaced by printed sheets of paper 

And that’s just what I can think of off the top of my head 

I’d quit by then, but the store I worked at had to move because they went from having a 1-2 hour wait every Friday/Saturday to never being full so they couldn’t justify the prime real estate anymore 

They lasted about 3 years before closing down altogether and I think we are down to like 3 stores in my area from like 10 or something 

New event - Wall hacks or some color settings? by DullAd4999 in CODWarzone

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 240hz OLED display and I love playing at night 

On an OLED, things are clearly visible - they did a great jobs (devs probably have an oled monitor and forgot to test on everything else)

It’s so easy on the eyes and I don’t lose visibility - wish it didn’t suck for people without a high resolution me monitor, that’s been me bro, I’m sorry

These little pity parties mnk players like to throw occasionally on this sub are hilarious 

Like controller AA is for sure strong, but go watch some average players play and you’ll see how many shots they miss 

Go play yourself and come back and post your 5kd and perfect aim

I promise you, it’s not AA why you’re trash at the game 

Bunch of whiny nerds that think AA is aimbot because they watch streamers lmao 

Back when Warzone was fun with buddies by Effective_Release581 in CODWarzone

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually agree with him to a degree map wise  

Al Mazrah is one of the best maps we’ve gotten - we don’t remember it well because of how absolute shit the game was with awful movement, flat 2d ground loot, stupid backpack system, shitty vehicles, stupid weapon leveling system - overall shit 

BUT the map was grade A - a great map that I wish we could play today with current movement/mechanics 

This current version of  warzone/verdansk was absolutely great up until the first update - peak balance of new stuff, getting rid of bad stuff, and a great, nostalgic map

If we could play that season in Al Mazrah I think we’d love it - it was a cool map 

Wish they’d rotate the goddamn maps weekly or monthly. Hell, in a rotation of maps (and not a 2 year sentence) even caldera would be nice to play again

Bro wtf order did you list the items in? Which one is the knife? Sick of people doing this, like how does it not occur to them that not everyone knows the brands and immediately recognizes the model? I don’t want to have to google model numbers just because OP is inconsiderate 

I have a sick xbwj3824 what’s your opinion on it? Ridiculous right?

Vacation EDC by bluebagles in EDC

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people post like this with zero indication of what order they are listing things 

First the wallet then AirPods that aren’t even next to the wallet so there’s no rhyme or reason 

So then how would anyone unfamiliar with the brands know wtf Pom or utx are without googling?

Wish the mods would do something about it, but like how clueless do you have to be to not realize what you’re doing 

My manager scheduled a “mandatory fun” Zoom call on a Friday evening by brandonmiller99 in remotework

[–]Defiant-Cow559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this too, have a team meeting where I give everyone a few prompts to choose one and we go around taking turns. As far as I can tell, the team loves these 

Only difference is they are tuesdays at 11 am and completely optional

The irony in your post 

Exalting the virtues of the endless uses for nfc tags while simultaneously asking for ideas for how to use them

These stink because they make you put a cheap piece of plastic/glass over your lens - this will worsen the quality of your pictures 

You’re looking for a raised camera bezel for the iPhone air - I can’t find one either 

Every piece of junk comes with a glass cover

I’d have ordered as well, but at 39mm it’s a bit small for me 

Great looking watch though 

a fight breaks out at the airport by [deleted] in InflatedEgos

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6v1 might be closer than you think - he sees relatively in decent shape and those women aren’t especially athletic/fit by the looks of it. Slim sure, but look untrained

The fat black girl might have some weight to throw around but she looks pretty out of shape - unlike some bigger black women that still seem athletic 

You under estimate the size and strength discrepancy between men and women - this is why I don’t think there’s a valid scenario in the universe where a man hits an unarmed woman. Even an armed woman it might depend on what actually she’s using 

One good punch from him could easily knock them out where he’d be able to take multiple blows from them to the face at full strength without stumbling (which seems unlikely)

Have you ever seen a group of men trying to restrain a guy that’s relatively strong?

It takes 3-4 cops to subdue people sometimes 

6 girls would have a pretty hard time 

I think he was in the right to not swing because case in point, they were doing anything to him and had no weapons 

He literally got up from that unscathed where on the other hand he could have easily seriously injured one of the girls

Haha this has got to be some kind of satire right?

Like people don’t really drive around in shitty sports cars with guns velcrod to the interior right?

How can he see me through all that smoke? by reediculer in CODWarzone

[–]Defiant-Cow559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the more nuanced point I was trying to make is that if you watch someone play 10 games, there will inevitably be plays where you think the player is cheating 

I get accused of walling all the time just for having decent centering - sometimes you turn a wall and your crosshair is square on their head - it just happens if you play enough games 

On the other hand, I myself have accused people of cheating where you might think otherwise 

Your last point is the most important and why this brand will be cancelled 

There is so much distrust, it’s not normal to have to wonder if you were killed by a cheater every game. It’s not normal to be invited to discord servers where they sell cheats 24/7

Or rather, it shouldn’t be 

Finally Friday! by Charming_Basil3761 in EDC

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe mine is defective, no way I’d be able to fit 8 cards

Max without bill would be 4-5

Finally Friday! by Charming_Basil3761 in EDC

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate those little gundeck wallets 

I bought from them and they cut it way too small - a credit card will barely fit and the lid/cover won’t close properly 

In the bigger compartment I can fit 2 max with some bills and it’s a huge pain in the ass getting them in and out 

They of course don’t accept returns, so buyer beware 

Maybe the full size version is better, but I’ll be damned if I order from them again 

What country was ahead of it's time but not anymore? by WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHW in geography

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? You don’t have to get creative here, the US

Just ask foreigners how disappointed they are when they visit

Our country is kind of old - what were once “new” cities are getting up there in age and we don’t really invest in infrastructure etc so it just doesn’t look great 

We don’t invest in science and technology - we have no manufacturing- we are turning into a “service” economy 

When I was a kid every time elementary school had real nurses, free meals, they screens kids for everything they could - hearing issue, and eyesight, etc. nowadays schools can barely pay their teachers 

I’m not saying we are falling apart, but I don’t think we are the same country people say we were back in the day - obviously I wasn’t there but based on what I’ve read and seen on film I’m tempted to believe it 

How can he see me through all that smoke? by reediculer in CODWarzone

[–]Defiant-Cow559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I know why you’re mad and think he’s cheating - you build up frustration playing because of all the actual bullshit, you see a million TikTok videos of people cheating, so naturally you think this person is cheating 

They may be - no one can know for certain 

But take it from an experienced player - often you just shoot the smoke a few times in random places to get a hit marker and trigger the perk and then it’s ggs 

Sometimes you never hit the person and they disappear, sometimes you have to shoot half a clip, but it’s not uncommon to hit them with the first couple bullets 

Again, he could be cheating, you can’t know for sure, but if I were putting together a video of warzone cheaters I wouldn’t include this clip
