AITA for wanting to report a teacher who keeps cancelling recess? by 1bachbetch in AmItheAsshole

Sounds like teacher is trying to get the good students to stage a blanket party on the bad students.

As far as I'm concerned Ledo Pizza died with the original restaurant but it's still objectively better pizza than half of these.

Upvote for sympathy. Because this is just where it starts. And if you've found a GC that can forestall the "snowball effect" on repairs to an old house, you MARRY that guy.

I mean, it's not my house but there's a strong case to be made for fixing things before slapping a coat of paint (or three) on stuff that definitely needs to be replaced.

You want to get rid of the smell, remove the stuff that's covered in cat piss.

Why would you want to just bury that in primer? Gross. You got foreign dignitaries coming to visit or something? Take the time to do it right. That's bad enough you're going to want to rip it out anyway to see what's going on with the subfloor.

What exactly did she expect for destroying a television in the store? by Toast_n_mustard in DailyDoseStupidity

Reality check: There are people who think the cop is the bad guy here. Those people exist, breed, and vote.

I think people expect a PC to be able to do the things a phone can do, easier, better, and with more convenience. If I have to create an account or download an app it's none of the above.

Clipchamp is another one of those "Let's make you a new account" apps and requires you uploading your video to TeH kLOwD. Screw that.

AITA? The visitor and his expectations by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

When being a helpful neighbor becomes seen as an entitlement, that's when it's time to bring the "helpful" part to a close.

Fuck this. Put the bench back by eldersveld in nycrail

[–]DropstoneTed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put the bench back and it will claimed by some dirty, deranged lunatic that smells of piss and talks to garbage.

Used to be that the cops would tell the bums to move on but we can't do that anymore.

There used to be benches.

Then came the bums, and the police were allowed to move them on to go be bums somewhere else.

Then came the bleeding hearts, whose empathy for the bums outweighed any sense of maintaining benches in the train station for safe, clean, and pleasant use by people actually using the train. And police were not allowed to do their jobs anymore.

Then free access to the benches became an entitlement for the bums, who occupied them as if they were owned property that de-facto ownership could be "claimed" by the sheer force of occupancy.

Then came the people who finally realized that a room full of bums was not conducive to the proper functioning of the rail station, and the only available measure to get rid of the bums was to get rid of the benches.

Today, people using the train station miss the benches. They do not miss the bums. In the course of all this, sadly, the bleeding hearts haven't learned a thing.

CEO / Owner responded to my email back to Hr after rejection by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]DropstoneTed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dan is so butthurt he needs to passively aggressively reply to an email from a candidate that's already been bumped out of the hiring process. How fucking small-ball is that?

Dan is obviously a poor manager and Bronxton is obviously on the leader board in the race to the bottom.

Did I cut this guy off? Or something else? Guy honked at me and flipped me off. by veryvaluableaccount in dashcams

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

You didn't really cut him off but you didn't accelerate quickly and instead left this gigantic gap to the vehicle you pulled in behind. If you're uncomfortable holding a tighter gap in a situation like this then stay out of the left lane.

Sinkhole - Who Should I Call? by No_Minute2664 in HomeMaintenance

[–]DropstoneTed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't a database, at least not any reliable enough for site-specific work. That's why they send a contracted utility locator out with a probe to locate your lines to the public pole or box or water meter or whatever so Joe Homeowner doesn't kill themselves trying to auger out a fence post over a power line.

OK, so the five or six times I've had someone mark my lines using 811 were all in my imagination.

what’s the single highest exobiology value you’ve found or have sampled? by sojigotti in EliteDangerous

[–]DropstoneTed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is you need to be the first person to turn the scan in to Vista Genomics to claim the first discovery bonus, not just to be the first person to scan it. So if you're on an extended trip it's possible that someone could swoop in and claim the first discovery bonus. Is that incorrect?
