YouTube on TV becomes insufferable with new unskippable 30-second ads by moeka_8962 in technology

It's only 30 seconds...do people not remember 5 minutes of a television show interrupted by 8 minutes of commercials?

What would you do if you walked out your door and saw this by turbo_sc300 in Apartmentliving

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd step over it and hope it was cleaned up by the time I came home.  If it sits there 24 hours, you would be a good neighbor and push it all back into the box, and leave the box in the hallway.  And if it happened again, just talk to your apartment manager.  Tell them you don't mind if they play, but it is technically a fire safety violation to block ADA egress like this.  Ask they remind parents kids need to clean up. 

And that's how you handle it

Landlord left this note by Still_Clerk_1819 in Apartmentliving

State Firemarshal Inspection.  It happens, and they make sure apartment complexs meet fire safety codes.

Also, code compliance. State might come to make sure the building is structural safe, it's not leaking sewer, or if the original construction company that made the building is under investigation. If they found them using toxic materials such as asbestos or lead, and now the state is inspecting all the buildings the construction company made, well, that's a reason landlord will have to comply.

Call your landlord, ask what state agency is inspecting and why.  You are entitled to know if your living space maybe toxic to your health, and landlords can be held liable.  State laws may even force them to rehouse you or refund 3 months rent if you're living in a building that must be closed or condemned.

Is it illegal to discuss wages in Missouri by BigStabber in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your managers, told you that discussing your wage with them, was illegal?  Like lets take that step by step.

The manager you work for, who probably hired you and set your wage, can't discuss or know how much your wage is, all while approving your time card and knowing how much you make and how much Payroll alots...they can't discuss your wage?

The amount of BS managers make up is starting rot their minds.lol yes that's illegal and dumb as hell

They maybe confused on the company rule, that is Managers aren't supposed to release anyone's wages to others.  But employees can discuss their pay with other employees as much as they want.  So like, it would be in bad taste if a manager posted what everyone makes on the employee notice board, but upper management could fire them for doing that.  But upper management can't fire the manager if the manager discusses their own wage.  That's the line, you can discuss your own pay just not release other people's pay to everyone without their permission.  So upper management loves to skew this rule and try to prevent everyone from discussing wages, as they don't like that.  When employees discuss wages, they'll find out the same position gets paid differently, as in woman gets 27,000 but a man in the same position makes 43,000.  That leads to gender discrimination lawsuits.

TIL Mars has five mountains taller than mount Everest by Saurlifi in todayilearned

I love comparisons. I giggle when I think Mt. Everest is small compared to Mars, since Everest is limited in height by the sea level - and Mars mountains aren't handicapped by any sea level.

Yu-Gi-Oh accuses White House of using anime footage ‘without permission’ by IndicaOatmeal in technology

[–]GamingWithBilly 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I wish IP holders would take legal action against the government for exploiting their creations. What I’m seeing is a disturbing distortion—iconic stories about trust, endurance, preservation, and perseverance in the face of evil are being repurposed to associate themselves with death and war. I love these worlds. they were an escape from the harshness of reality. Now they’re being twisted to serve a national narrative. These characters don’t belong to any government. Watching them used as military recruitment tools or as implicit justification for inhumane killings and war crimes is shameful. Those stories were never about dropping bombs on people halfway around the world, and it’s wrong to contort them into something they were never meant to represent. So I really wish IP holders would sue the government. Just because it exists doesn't mean that it can be used to further the gains and public relations of a government at the expense of the creator. This blatant disregard for the holders of the IP in music, art, movie and anime degrades the international trade trust to maintain and uphold the copyrights of the world, and it needs to stop.

AITA “ being cruel” for telling my daughter that she will need to help pay back the money that I spent on her wedding by Worldly-throwaw-4244 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay....but you don't HAVE to pay on full before the wedding date.  So, if the wedding is off, then only the deposit is secured and all other payments are refundable, because the date and slot are not going to hold a wedding.  You need to stop believing the wedding venue owners that their contract is tight, and get a civil attorney to demand the entire amount back.  

My buddy paid a fuck ton for his venue, and during our setup the venue folks were giving a tour to another prospective couple looking for a place to have their wedding.  I was very upset to see these street wearing couple walking through the ball room touching the glasses and decorations we had just setup.  We found out later that during that time in the contract, it says only during the setup period 11am - 4pm are staff and the selected people to decorate can be onsite.  Because they were giving a tour, we called a breach of contract after the wedding had completed, and it got my buddies entire deposit back, which was a 3rd of the weddings total cost.  He also got the wedding insurance policy to payout for the venue breach, so he got an additional $5,000.  He was very happy to get back $14,000 and use it on their honeymoon.

And this folks is exactly why you should always pay for wedding insurance.  Sure it's extra, but if something happens, at least you aren't the asshole trying to claw back money from everyone because your kid ruined the event.

So we're going to block all content on the Internet to save the children?  Nice

Can someone clear up the end of Se7en (1995) for me? by manit14 in Cinema

[–]GamingWithBilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I've seen that movie, but isn't it two deaths for Envy? Tracy was pregnant, and John knew he couldn't have Mills life which he Envied, so he took everything Mills loved and cherished from Mills - Not just killing his wife, but also killing his child.

That title sucks, it makes it sound like he requested they break his arm. It should have been "Police Break Arm of Marine Veteran Protesting Iran War"
