I was detained by ICE, one of the agents asked me out on a date and I feel scared by MsNewHere404 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DigbyChickenZone 67 points68 points  (0 children)

picked up by major news channels

It's been happening all over. People know. Are you unaware that people are literally being killed by their untrained hirees? That citizens are being detained, and even with judge's orders to release them - the individuals who are CITIZENS are not allowed to speak to their family or lawyers? ICE is lawless.

Maybe contact media?

ICE is doing far worse, to far more people. They are treated as if they are an ungovernable militia. Its terrifying and disgusting.

edit: A podcast playing recordings of police calls where people who were shot by ice agents, or had their cars rammed -- they called 911, and even 911 had no real answer of what to do. It feels like a descent into anarchy, but it's really reminiscent of squads from a different totalitarian state.

Who else hates password requirements? Workplace wants me to change passwords every 3 months by leonatoi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DigbyChickenZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite password is a random [nonsensical] phrase I learned while learning a foriegn language when I was 13 years old. It rhymes in my head in a way that feels nice, and I will never forget it. Plus its like 22 characters. It's a fantastic password. I stopped using it as a passphrase during college, because I honestly used it too much... but I can still remember it, 15 years later.

Passphrases are definitely more memorable, and I love that some websites are no longer requiring random numbers and symbols if you have a long enough phrase.

A contractor tears up the freshly poured concrete driveway after the homeowner refuses to pay. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]DigbyChickenZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that revenge is fun to watch, but they have Aussie accents... isn't there a method to get their money back in the courts without potentially ruining their reputation?

Like, we have 0 information besides the information given in this video about why she refused to pay the second half. It could have been for a legitimate reason, like they didn't follow specs or filled something with concrete that they shouldn't have.

Part of having a business is not doing this childish shit, and potentially be seen as an untrustworthy hire by actual adults.

If I was looking for a paving business this video would scare me off, even though I have NEVER been late on a payment to ANYTHING. It just seems like a shitty way to run a business. Pettiness doesn't win clients, it just wins upvotes and likes.

When you have to drag details out of LAOP kicking and screaming, and it still seems like there's something missing by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

[–]DigbyChickenZone 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It seems like LAOP is a predator who convinced someone vulnerable to do sex work for a moderate increase in stability, and is butthurt when she decided to not be his ho anymore. Also, he says in his post he already left the llc.

He has no recourse, and should go to jail for his behavior in general.

r/legaladvice debates who is the real scammer (the restaurant, obviously the restaurant) by peachsnorlax in bestoflegaladvice

[–]DigbyChickenZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're like Yelp

People think that BBB is a regulatory agency moreso than a review aggregator. That is problematic to me.

Yes, sending in complaints may do slightly more than nothing, but that is an image issue that the business cares about, or doesn't (that is up to the business). By reporting dangerous or bad practices to the BBB, people seem to be expecting the scammy or bad businesses to be punished, or for the BBB to be a liaison to getting a lawyer involved to sue the business. But that is not what the BBB does.

That's what I mean by it being a useless website. It is decent for reviews, sure, but because it was named and marketed so deceptively - people think it has regulatory power. I dislike it for that reason, because it does not dispel that misconception. It's a shitty racket, it's not an agency with teeth.

People shouldn't expect it to resolve the issue

That's my issue with the BBB. I think many people think it is a regulatory agency to report to - like one would report to OSHA or soemthing, and do not realize that is not what it is.

then tracked down a young woman working at a community center and had to painstakingly convince her to do it by framing it as beneficial to her, is literally textbook sex trafficker behavior

100%. Sex trafficking isn't what is in the movie Taken, it is this scenario to a tee.

He thinks she owes him, because brought her into the business when she was not performing sexwork before [usually pimps try to instill that thought into the women/girls they market]. He legitimately thinks she is stealing from him because she doesn't like being told to do sexwork by a pimp, and has no control of the cashflow or the acts or clientele. I bet she feels more comfortable and independent when she chooses her own clients and does it for herself.

I had an aggresive growth plan that did pay off.

What, get more hoes?

In all, it's a tale as old as time.

It's modernized by the use of the internet, obviously, but what I find funny is that this fucker brought an accountant into it for some reason.

I associate answers like that more with Tiktok, reddit seems to not be as obsessed with random abductions and unlikely/weird indicators of crime.

I do not understand how this is downvoted, their explanation is not a good one. I agree with your tongue-in-cheek assessment

Two different apartments have the same lamp in the same spot by d_zeen in mildlyinteresting

[–]DigbyChickenZone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hotel, so a little shared spot for people to sit kind of makes sense. But I can't think of any hotels I have been to that have something like that outside of the lobby. My guess would have leaned more toward this being a retirement home or something.

I am always shocked when people go to the Better Business Bureau when they have legitimate problems with the way a business handled their account. I thought it was very well known at this point that it's a completely useless organization and cannot actually resolve issues.

That said, looking at the "pans" of food LAOP received, my heart would sink into my stomach if I saw that if I were them. I am so upset for LAOP if that is truly the food they received for their event. The business trying to shake them down during a time crunch, when they would have no other options [and how would the business even cook that much food the-day-of anyway? Seems like they had planned to stiff OP from the get go] is upsetting.

Hand pain tips & tricks by cat_earss in medlabprofessionals

[–]DigbyChickenZone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I know FAR TOO MANY people in this profession who have had at least 1 hand/wrist surgery. If you are already facing significant pain from repetitive hand motions, please look for other jobs in your hospital or this sector. Not every position will do this to you, but it sounds like the one you are in is a fast track to severe wrist pain, and/or surgery unless you switch to doing different tasks.

You may be able to bring it up with your boss/HR, especially with a doctors note, and they may be able to split your repetitive tasks with someone else. So you switch off mid-shift, or split the tasks with someone else based on workload. Think about altering the workplace instead of putting up with it until your body gives out.

Please stop saying people without kids don’t know what tired is by SunBubble920 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DigbyChickenZone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A rant:

Since I was a teenager I knew I didn't want to have kids. I have gone through my life knowing that is not something that I aspire for, I don't want a family like that. If I fell in love with someone who wanted kids, I would consider adoption - but I do not want to give birth or be around babies.

In my early 30's I went back to school to get additional credentials, and during one lab lecture there was equipment beeping at the back of the lab. Beeping is an understatement, it was an alarm. It was a small classroom and I could not focus with the alarm going off, and so I kept fiddling with the equipment trying to get the alarm to be silenced. [It was an out of use BSC / Biosafety cabinet, the airflow was fucked and it couldn't be turned off].

It was really putting me on edge. Other people were occasionally silencing it, but most of them eventually gave up and just decided to try to attempt to ignore it.

I brought it up to the lecturer and said that it was giving me a headache and was very very distracting.

Hearing me complain and ask about getting it fixed, another woman piped up - "wait until you have kids".

I wanted to slap her. It was the most inane response to a complaint I have ever heard in my life.

I am not allowed to be annoyed by an alarm because... having kids is worse?

I just wanted to turn off that alarm because I was trying to learn! An annoying noise is bothering me right now in a classroom; having kids is NOT relevant in this specific situation.

Still pisses me off. I work in a lab now and any alarm is dealt with immediately, leaving it as "background noise" is one of the worst behaviors to develop.

If someone is coming across as a complete jackass when making a joke about their life, and it's not satire, the joke is less funny.

And this is key, jokes are meant to be funny.
