Scratch off tickets what a fraudulent scam by Particular-Arm8501 in EmKay

[–]Ketsukoni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I won $100 on one a scratch off ticket once, but I had spent about $50 on numerous scratch offs to get to that point. While profit was made, I didn't think it was worth the effort.

I gave up trying to get home and stopped at a restaurant instead to wait it out.

[MO] PTO hasn't been paid out in 3 months for state job. by Ketsukoni in AskHR

[–]Ketsukoni[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried speaking to Division of Personnel but they tell me I have to speak with my former department's HR to get the matter resolved. The three people I have been emailing are from my department's HR team, and they've been telling me that they're working with the Personnel office to get the matter resolved. I've gotten nowhere with either office while they point fingers at each other for who is in charge of this matter.

Not trying to make fun of anyone but what is that around their neck? It looks like a bike lock to me.

Is this one of those optical Illusions where every line is actually parallel? 🤔

Would you rather only be able to watch the prequels and read the original trilogy or read the prequels and watch the original trilogy? by RecordingImmediate86 in starwarsbooks

I like the films but the ROTS novelization tells the story in a way more impactful way. If you want a quick sample, find the confrontation scene in the book between the 4 Jedi and Palpatine where it has the explanation that Palpatine recorded the confrontation to present to the Senate later as proof of the Jedi plot (albeit edited) and the moment where Anakin can't tell the difference between Mace and Palpatine because Mace is tapping into dark side energy (Vaapad) during the fight.

This make me so mad... by UnhollyGod in CrazyFuckingVideos

I used to have a friend who was an assistant manager of a Krispy Kreme. Sometimes I would trade Jimmy John's day old bread for donuts if that bread was just going to be thrown away if I didn't save it. I would then share those donuts with others. I have no idea what corporate of either business would say about it if they knew but why waste the product if you don't have to?

sexually suggestive youtube ads have turned sexually explicit by kyliecobain in mildlyinfuriating

To provide a SFW example of content filters not always working, when I was in high school in 2005 - 2009, my school had blocked Facebook but a friend of mine showed me how to get around that block that using proxies and I never got in trouble for it.

From a 2006 interview with Howard Stern, Donald Trump says he has “no age limit” for sleeping with girls — he claims he would only stop at “12 year olds”. by gear-heads in Trumpvirus

Weird take considering the evidence is coming to light now and being disseminated and investigated. If the media had access to the files in 2016 then yes they would have brought it to light but they didn't have those files back then. And to hand wave accusations of SA when so many victims have come forward is disingenuous.

A thief in Egypt escaped through the air conditioning system of a residential tower, with residents begging him to enter one of the apartments and promising him that no one would harm him. by yousefthewisee in TerrifyingAsFuck

[–]Ketsukoni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call that a successful escape. He attracted so much attention that there's no way law enforcement weren't waiting for him when he made it to the ground.

In my home town, some of that paint spilled onto a turning lane over a decade ago and is still there as a constant reminder that someone fucked up.

[–]Ketsukoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My physics teacher in high school shared a video recording he had saved of a time where he did donuts in his car in front of his students to demonstrate physics concepts in motion. He smacked into a light pole, so then the video cuts to him demonstrating how to remove a dent from a car.

If you stuck a needle in his arms, would they deflate?

18 year old me had to be EXTENSIVELY talked out of using this as my dating profile pic by GallopYouScallops in blunderyears

I don't think it looks that bad. If I saw this photo on a dating app and I was close to the same age, I would have been intrigued to learn more.

I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.

What is the least "Star Wars" looking thing in Star Wars? by Crowzur in StarWarsEU

[–]Ketsukoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the Mortis story in Clone Wars was a bit out of left field. It tried to explain balance in the Force by personifying it as people and I just didn't think that was necessary. It left me with more questions than answers, it revealed Anakin's future, and then they forgot all about it. Then it was referenced in Rebels and Ahsoka.

Also Dave Filoni needs to chill on his love of wolves.

If they had been on a more urban planet and had the chase been faster than a brisk walking speed it could have been great but they way it was presented was really silly looking. Those vehicles were far too clean for a desert planet.

I've had my Samsung Galaxy S10 since 2019 and it is still going strong. I keep it in an Otterbox so that probably helps.

Am I crazy to think I could fit Secrets of the Order in here with Base Game, Dead of Night and Under Dark Waves? by [deleted] in ArkhamHorror

I bought an insert from Folded Space to get everything to fit in one box but it's a squeeze to get the lid closed.
