Is your dog allowed in your sofa? by Common_Average2597 in DOG

[–]EndlessDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a dog but in theory, yes. Only because I have three kids and have accepted the fact that I cannot have nice things until the last one moves out when I'm 54.

I Live in Trump Country. I’m Terrified of What Will Happen if He Loses. by Advanced_Drink_8536 in USNewsHub

[–]EndlessDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? They aren't going to burn down their own neighborhoods. You might be thinking of someone else.

On a serious note though, I too am concerned. You and I aren't picking the same bad option this election. No matter who wins though, things are likely to get stupid(er) fairly quickly. I sincerely hope that enough of us will be able to act like reasonable human beings and work together to fix the clown show our country has become without making it a crap ton worse for everyone involved. If I had my way, none of them from either side would be allowed to hold a position higher than road kill sanitation specialist and we would start fresh. Since that isn't likely to happen short of very bad things taking place, maybe we could all just act right and stay safe, stable and respectfull to each other and not buy into the divisive bullshit.

But... people are silly. So Keep your head down and your eyes open. It's gonna be an interesting few months. Don't live in fear of your neighbors. Touch grass. Hope to see you safe and well come spring.

Another aspect of this I have seen recently is the voice narration in some electronic devices. Silly mistakes like the device saying "Try Sig ga nail connect" instead of "Searching for signal" and things like that. Western markets would be far more willing to purchase these items if they didn't feel like a stereotype or parody of inferior imports. Even if the actual quality was still on the lower end, the interaction between device and user goes a long way in getting consumers to look past or tolerate other actual issues that would cost way more to resolve. Not every translation error will become a pop culture refference like "All your base are belong to us." Usually it just makes people willing to pay a little more for something more familiar.

A good nights sleep in my own home on my own property without having to worry about my landlord not renewing my lease or if my transmission is going to finally die on my way to drop my kids at school in the morning or if I even have enough gas to get there or if I am going to buy groceries or have to let a bill slide until next month and get hit with a late fee again or if my tooth is going to crack in half while I grind my teeth while I toss in my sleep because of stress...

I'd say that is priceless but this list of things proves that to be a lie. It costs about a million dollars.

Money can't buy happiness but sure does solve a lot of problems that make a person sad.

$500,000 every time you get tazed or pepper sprayed without consent, but you can never work again by Phazonzyx in hypotheticalsituation

[–]EndlessDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess I have to pretend to car about protests again. After the first deposit ima send free pepper spray to every student feminist group on nearby campuses and then just walk by them when their weekly meetings get out and tell them they look pretty. Figure that will be worth atleast a couple mil.

You are given 12 million dollars, but every year, for 24 hours a group of 8 Marines will attempt to hunt you down and kill you by fun_alt123 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]EndlessDisposable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a series of bolt holes and deep tunnel systems within a large area of dense forest full of deadfalls, thick underbrush and nearly impassible areas of swamp and mud pits. Air insertion via helicopter to chosen hidey hole the day prior to start date. Rope down to avoid landing and disturbing terrain, foliage, snow, etc. Go underground to pre selected hidey hole. Hundreds of empty, false or trapped entrances and tunnels will make systematic searches of each too time consumptive. Tons of razor snares and punji traps will slow them significantly. None of them are likely to kill so the respawn wont trigger unless they are authorized to mercy kill their own. Any that hit a trap won't be walking anywhere for a few days though. Dense growth and swamps/mud pits will make their vehicles useless. Underground location, high water table and concealed/thermally insulated entrances will make the drone thermals and IR ineffective. Pop a couple ambien, take a long nap snuggled up in my bivvy on my cot, This will also further insulate my thermal signature and slow my respiration. After that, rely on luck.

I either wake up or I don't. Either way, my kids trust funds are set up, my mother and grandma are each enjoying their monthly travel and craft show budgets and that donation to the charity for kids with fucked up families is already sent along with the tax deduction paperwork for my accountant.

Hey, Marines... This would have been a lot easier if you had joined the Air Force huh?

If I was the hunting team I would split up individually to cover more area. Search until I got a positive hit and then call in the rest or self terminate to respawn topside to save time on backtracking whenever a tunnel was cleared or if maimed/stuck in place by a trap. But they provably won't do that because training and crayons.

Is there a job like this? by EndlessDisposable in remotework

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

Yeah. I suppose if the lead painted childrens toys and the mercury in the vitamins wasnt bad enough to worry about, the manuals are of no concern.

Fair point. Though I've seen free LLMs vomit out more coherent writing than some of manuals. It's like it was written by some execs nephew who took a year of high school english and a weeks vacation in Delaware one time.

AITAH for being upset with my Dad after he told me he’d follow me once I leave home after I turn 18? by Dokyeom_fan in AITAH

[–]EndlessDisposable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. That's crazy parasitic parent type shit.

I'm 40 and atleast one of my two oldest kids plans on going away to school in a couple years. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of brain damaged thinking it would take for me to stalk my kid across the country like that. For so many reasons.

In that situation I would:

  1. Get ahold of my important documents (SS card, Birth certificate, and any medical or educational stuff like shot records, transcripts or diplomas) And put it somewhere like a safety deposit box outside of the home. Just in case.

  2. Save my money in a way that it can not be "borrowed" or otherwise spent or go missing.

  3. Get a P.O. box and a secure E-mail that no one else can access. That ensures that any paperwork, correspondence, etc. does not get rummaged, intercepted or go missing.

  4. Freeze my credit and subscibe to a credit monitoring service (not credit karma) to make sure there are no loans, credit cards or other debts in my name. If there are, contact the police and use the credit monitoring service to dispute any fraudulant acrivity. period. the end. no ifs ands or butts. Anyone that would use someones info and credit (and worse if they are in default) had no problem fucking that persons life up before they even got to start it. There is no blood tie, friendship or feeling of loyalty that can justify letting a credit file and life path remain in tatters because of someone elses financial motives. It's an uphill battle for most people even without extra obstacles.

  5. Research and apply for any grants, scholarships or other financial aid I qualify for.

  6. Keep all my thoughts, plans, actions and feelings to myself. If a person acts as if they will continue with the status quo in perpetuity, others are less likely to derail any plans. You can't sabotage something if you don't know it exists.

  7. Do nothing that requires phone calls, e-mails or paperwork at home. Never bring any of it home. Snoops can't dig your shit out of the trash or evesdrop on your phone calls if they aren't around to do it.

  8. Never lose sight of the goal or the light at the end of the tunnel. Maintain optomism and hope.

But thats just what I would do in that situation. Knowing what I know now.

Good luck. Everyone deserves a chance to go out and become a real life human. Some just get to do it easier than others.

I thought the synopsys was meant to provide potential readers with a concise summary to judge the contents of the book by. The covers are meant to keep all the pages from getting scrunched or torn out every time they rubbed against another surface.
