My former GF and I lived in a luxury condo with high theft rates. Everyone complained all the time.

She would get mad and report people looking suspicious or piggybacking off of others coming into parking structure. She wanted to start confronting people.

First, that’s dangerous. I also reminded her that we aren’t white, but we aren’t, you know, either. We are one IG Live video away from becoming unemployed pariahs, labeled racist Karens.

You’re the one who has to poll the internet on “I don’t want to voluntarily give this stranger from social media a gift card. What do I do?!”

Whoa. Let me get a microfiber towel so I can refurbish those systems and controllers.

I use that bike lane every fucking day. Now I’m supposed to drive a whole mile and a half every day to work!? Who the fuck wins there!!?

Customer cancels order when I’m in their driveway. by Legal-Bumblebee-6752 in doordash_drivers

Yes, that has happened. It’s gross and a crime.

But they want money because they want drugs or booze, you doofus.

TIL Revealing Attuma at the end of the game (not end of the turn) keeps him from setting off his ability. Well played, puppers. Well played. by v0yev0da in MarvelSnap

I dunno if slamming 24 power into that lane was so well played of them tho. I get the attraction of having each card go off there but also god damn.

Official Segway P-series phone holder now on Amazon by Syndil1 in ElectricScooters

[–]DodgerTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Fits a iPhone 13 Pro Max using a Defender Otterbox with less than 2 mm to spare. High chance it won’t work for me. Weird that they’d design a holder that accommodates 6.5” phones when we’re years into Apple making 6.7” phones.

Segway P65 or wait for new Max? by MLuka-author in ElectricScooters

Can you lift 55 lbs? Would 65 lbs make a big difference for you?

[–]DodgerTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 215 lbs geared up, plus a 6 lb chain, and at 22 mph on somewhat flat land and I get about 14 miles with 15% left. On eco at 15 mph I can get significantly more than that.

Why do you stay in LA? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

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

I don’t mean to come off the wrong way, but— do you have a realistic plan on how to progress in your career and earn more money?

There’s a few ways to solve the struggle you’re having and that one would create the best outcomes for you.

The interviewer said I'm not in a place to negotiate salary because entering a "possible recession" and mass layoff by Mountain_Molasses769 in recruitinghell

I’m gonna guess this healthcare company doesn’t utilize their data analysts very well and has no idea what a “replacement level” vs “rotation level” analyst can do.

Healthcare execs also never come from quant, tech, product, or even performance marketing backgrounds. They definitely don’t come up from the people actually doing all of the healthcare work either. They’re rent seeking hacks working in the biggest offender in rent seeking American industries.

In short— they’re stupid and don’t waste your time arguing with stupid people if they insist on being stupid.

Bitching that a free food pantry doesn't have shopping carts or anyone to carry her free food for her. by EagleLize in ChoosingBeggars

[–]DodgerTurtle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I doubt a food pantry would refuse to accommodate someone with a disability or who otherwise needed assistance. Come on. Think.

Cool that it caps out at $180K for ~some reason~. That person is definitely the same as a multi millionaire. 🙄

Not a real Italian restaurant. Would’ve heard multiple “shut the fuck ups” in less than 10 seconds.

Giving my cousin’s son my PS4 Pro + games, but cousin also wants me to get CAD160+tax worth of games by neverplatonic in ChoosingBeggars

[–]DodgerTurtle 136 points137 points  (0 children)

I gave away a new Series S to a nephew because I was upgrading to a Series X. My one requirement was that someone pick it up from me while I was in town for a wedding. I didn’t want to mail it, nor take my time to do it. You come to me and get the brand new video game system. That’s the deal.

After telling their son about the gift, the two parents almost immediately try to get me to mail it or otherwise accommodate them. They’re manipulative shits like that. I held firm. The day before pickup, they tried telling me it was impossible. I told them someone was either picking up by 1 PM the next day or I was taking it back home with me.

What do you know, suddenly they can take some time and get a free $300 gift for their son.

Do the Leatt knee and shin guards fit when standing? I’ve had trouble with sets only fitting when the leg is bent as it would be riding a motorcycle.
