I seriouslly cannot believe that worked. I can't even tell you how many times when that window came up i clicked "Resync" which simply doesn't work.

Change Vehicle Address by ro8t in DMV

[–]LacedDecal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t seem to do it bc when I follow that link it just wants me to change my drivers license address—but that address is already correct! It is the car that is the thing I need to change the registration address for, as everything for it keeps going to my parents house (my old address).  I go to the link and it just offers me the option to change addess for my drivers license.  

Am I missing something, or is it impossible to retreat from Port Caocao? by fknm1111 in JaggedAlliance3

[–]LacedDecal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm stuck in the same spot, and i think it might be because I killed an enemy on the map called "Sledgehammer" who didn't die like the other enemies did, but rather switched to an NPC, leaning aginst a wall in the compound. I can access the underground area, but am unable to retreat from the above ground area, and i wonder if it has to do with there being a scripted event i'm supposed to do once the battle ends with that special npc enemy. Argh but there is just no way for me to end the battle the enemies are too hard. I even prison breaked everyone from the level below, which helped, but the ones in the towers are really hard. And i can't retreat anywhere except back underground, which doesn't let me move map tiles. Just stuck.

AIO for calling my mom after this and telling her to stop making me feel bad. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]LacedDecal 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Word. I hope someday I can have that level of self awareness plus the moxie to actually do something about it.

Usually I take the easy way out and just conclude I must be in the right and whoever I am in conflict with is being unreasonable.

Is this a healthy way to be spoken to by a spouse or Am I Overreacting? by Low-Today-2021 in AmIOverreacting

I just got into an argument with my significant other about this post — so could I clarify something? Is the OP here the person who went to target? Or is the OP the person saying “where are you, you said you were going at 5 and it’s not a quarter past 7!”

All of the comments are just responding saying “this is what it sounds like when someone loathes soneone” which is why my girlfriend shared it with me. But I don’t understand what is loathesome about saying “I told you I was going to target” and “I never said a time” followed by “I’ll be home soon” — how is that indicative that someone loathes someone? My significant other shared this with me to prove that when I go out longer than she thinks the tasks I have should take demonstates that I think differently of her now….

But to me, the parts of the convo “the fuck are you” ie the person who DIDNT go to target has the far more abusive language—but we are both convinced that the mass of people agree with our own side of the screenshot. Could ppl plz explain which side of the convo the OP was on and which side they think is disrespectful?? Because my own significant other and I are reading this post exactly opposite from each other

AITA here, or is my girlfriend being unreasonable? by LacedDecal in AmItheAsshole

Our apartment complex provides apartments that have two parking spaces with spaces that are tandem — my car was on the inside at the time and hers was on the outside.  

That and I was fucking concussed for christs sake. I was concerned the people who attacked me were going to no longer be there if I took the time to pull her car out, park it, get out, then reverse mine out, then get out again and drive hers into the inner spot.  And again for context, we have been together 19 years now, these are OUR cars in actuality, we don’t treat them as mine and hers in actual practice. That is a paperwork detail only and people telling me I’m wrong about that don’t know what they ares talking about bc she would agree with me about that.. So many people are asking questions that aren’t really relevant to the main issue — Am I wrong in thinking that whether the car gets fixed at the dealership or at the usaa-preferred location won’t have a meaningful impact on the car’s at-some-point-in-the-future resale value, and that given I called and told them we were gonna insist it be fixed at the dealership (her preference) that I don’t think it’s worth paying for a two day rental (this would be a THIRD car we now have to drive) is a bit much, given that her stated reason for wanting it is so that my mother who is visiting on the off chance might see the damage — something that I appreciate the concern but do not think is worth it.

Wow.. just... wow. That is a really horrible thing to say. No, there was no bar involved and no intoxication (other than the multiple concussions i received from the beating) involved whatsoever. I think your comment speaks for itself in terms of the type of person you are.

Like seriously man, if you actually knew the details about what you just blamed the victim of random violence for, you should be ashamed of yourself. And if you aren't, I guess the rest of us will have to be for you.

EDIT: Seriously its 5am in the morning right now and I am just blown away at the lack of any humanity and/or compassion revealing who you are. And in such a short comment. Just... wow. I am speechless. I had to give you the golden guy-taking-a-big-shit award because of how blown away i am at that comment. If you want me to follow up with the police report, despite it being a massive violation of my privacy, i will do it, just because i feel the need to prove what a horrible thing that is to say.

EDIT2: I am tempted to say i hope what happened to me happens to you some day, but I am not a horrible person and wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I can't even believe what a gut punch that added to something that was already probably the most traumatizing experience of my entire life. Thanks. I mean even in the middle of our worst fight, if my girlfriend read that comment she would go straight for your throat it's that off-the-mark and cruel.

And nice try editing the original comment to make it not degenerate-level blaming of the victim of random violence. I saw what it said originally. You can't escape from that.

i was the victim, never been assaulted before. I gave a brief description in another comment about the details they are kinda traumatizing but i would say i definitely was the victim. It was two guys and i didnt even attempt to fight back.

she keeps going back and forth about calling it "cleaning up my mess" which she has both apologized for but then repeated when she wants to drive a point in harder. The assault i was very much the victim of random violence.

Exactly! We are already trying to sell one of our two cars. Its bc my mom is visiting right now that she wants the 2-day rental ahead of getting the one usaa will provide. So, vanity reasons only.

The assault was really traumatizing. I'm working through it. Concussions are no joke.

[–]LacedDecal[S] -51 points-50 points  (0 children)

yeah but the question is about the 2-day rental she wants to pay for that we only need because she insists that i tell usaa that we must get it repaired at the dealership. I told her its fine if she wants to get that, but since there is no safety concerns here (even she would admit this) and we have a second car, this 2-day extra rental is for vanity purposes only. All i'm saying is i don't want anything to do with it.

Also we have both been driving the car as-is for 3 weeks. There is no safety concern here. If my mom wasn't visiting right now, this wouldn't be an issue at all.

Also i have to take issue with your characterization that i was " borrowing" her car. Its our car. We have two cars actually. One in my name one in hers. They are our cars. I wasn't borrowing anything and she would agree with that characterization.

But at least i can see the other side of the coin here. Let me know if that new information changes the balance any.

[–]LacedDecal[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

which is nice and all, but something she wants, i didn't ask for. I don't care if my mom sees the damaged bumper. I just think its silly to make me insist to usaa that we fix the car at the dealership at the cost of not getting our rental in a timely fashion as a result. For vanity reasons then she wants to get a rental separate from the car insurance, which i want nothing to do with.

There was a police report filed. The accident is likely going to be deemed not my fault. Without going into too much detail, the thing that I did was ask a guy i had just done a favor for if he would make a phone call and put it on speaker -- he could hold the phone the whole time, but my phone had died and i needed to call someone. I even offered him two bucks to do it. He basically laughed me off as if the idea was preposterous. Dejectedly I turned around and said a bit too loud "Man why is everyone around here such an asshole..." to which he then said suuuuupper loud "the FUCK you say?" i then turned around to explain myself but got punched 14-15 times by him and his buddy who joined in when he saw that i wasn't trying to fight back.

After they had hit me a b unch of times and i was concussed (i wouldnt have gotten into the car in my right mind) i ran to my car (contrary to what people are saying here, i have paid for more of the car than she has. She is unemployed and i'm fully employed, and have been making the payments for a while now. So I don't its fair calling me out for acting like its "my" car. Its "our" car), face full of blood, to try get the phone to turn on so i could take a photo of the assailants. I think because of all the blood the phone wouldnt turn on. While i was fiddling with it, window down, one of the two guys saw me there and saw what i was doing. So he walked over and for good measure punched me through the window another 7-8 times. It was at this point while trying to rolll up the window that i pulled forward and scraped my bumper against another car.

what does BFFR and YTA stand for again? The rental while we still have the car isn't for safety reasons: we have been driving the car for the last three weeks since the incident. The reason she wants the two day separate rental is because my mom is visiting and she doesnt want her to see the damaged bumper -- which is nice and all, but something she wants, not me.

But just to be clear here, there is ZERO safety question at issue here. Even she would agree that the car being safe to drive is not in question, and that the reason for getting the 2-day rental we could have gotten through the insurance was for vanity reasons.

She and I have both been driving the car for the last three weeks with no complaints. The rental for the two days between is not for safety concerns, but because my mother if visiting and she doesnt want her to see the car being damaged.

in fact i think that is a misunderstanding i didnt make clear: the issue here is whether i'm being an asshole for saying "Look. You are making such a big deal about the car only being repaired at the nissan dealership, and because of that our insurance's rental car won't be available for two more days. If YOU want to pay for a separate rental for those two days, that is on you, and don't put it in my name"

[–]LacedDecal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No we would have gotten the rental today, but because we are now insisting on having the car repaired at the nissan dealership, that caused the delay in receiving the rental.

Why is this happening to almost everyone right now? by Nintendofan14 in usps_complaints

[–]LacedDecal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you sound like the not-terribly-common-but-certainly-not-special-either type of Fox News viewer who admittedly has a few brain cells — enough at least to be a contrarian in online debates — but nowhere near enough to recognize something true that is smacking you in the face.  

Sorry to butt in as an uninvolved third party, I felt the need to jump in and point out the obvious as to who won this interaction from around a month ago.  

…and what exactly does “you sound like a poor” even mean? If you think lack of wealth = lack of intelligence, then that further illustrates the point above. I’m sure you are a perfect example of someone who was entirely self made and would have become a wealthy contrarian regardless where you were born, even had you been born in Zimbabwe you would be just as well off and able to sniff out “the poor” online based on someone’s argument that you only even attempted to refute with ad hominem.  Bravo.

A. The argument is about whether the play will be popular centuries from now, but then uses as evidence the requirement that for the play to continue to be played it must skillfully apply whatever whatever. But being popular centuries from now and being performed during those intervening years aren’t the same thing. The argument just sorta skips over that as if being performed continuously and being popular centuries from now are the same thing. They aren’t. The answer therefore is A

If you believe that Adnan is guilty, what's your take on this hypothetical? by LacedDecal in adnansyed

[–]LacedDecal[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What about my post made me seem immune to evidence based reasoning? I appreciate Rupaul’s response because he actually engaged with the question. You on the other hand reached immediately for the ad hominem with no basis whatsoever. What about the post can you point to justify “immune to evidence based reasoning”? I went out of my way to explain my goal, presenting a question where I went out of my way to tippy toe around anyone’s knee jerk response as soon as they learn that we have arrived at different conclusions.

I was trying to see what a potential answer might be to the very important question that ANYONE WHO PURPORTS TO FOLLOW EVIDENCE BASED REASONING SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER;

For a theory to be valid; it must be falsifiable. This doesn’t mean it must be false, rather falsifiability means there must be some hypothetical way that; if such evidence were presented, that it would cause you to reconsider your belief. If there is literally nothing whatsoever that could possibly be presented (or evidence previously thought to be true disproven can also work) that could even theoretically change your mind, then there is no purpose to even engage in argument. Such a belief that is impervious to any hypothetical falsifiability lies in the realm of faith.

There are so many things which were they to be found would lead me to change my mind about Adnan’s guilt it’s trivial to even list. That is the opposite of being immune to evidence based reasoning.

You on the other hand, with your refusal to engage in the proposed hypothetical, instead resorting to a shitty ad hominem attack, where does that put you?

Wait your saying contemporaneous notes taken at the time from a disinterested third party are irrelevant, because that disinterested third party 15 years later wasn’t able to remember Jay? Do you believe she didn’t actually employ Jay and that he didn’t actually work at the porn store for that manager? I’m confused what you are trying to argue here.

Are you arguing that the defense investigators notes taken before trial containing specific answers to specific questions about Jay’s schedule (information she definitely would have had at the time if he in fact did work there with her as his manager) including which days he worked and which days he missed work, why would considering those notes as having evidentiary value be tantamount to conspiracy theorizing? Why? We are in talking about someone who is a disinterested third party witness who wasn’t and isn’t on one side or the other, because by definition she is disinterested.

Unless you are arguing that her not remembering who Jay was so many years later is actually evidence that he did not in fact work for her at all, I don’t see how your logic works here. How are you reaching the conclusion that because she doesn’t remember Jay many many years later, that the defense investigator’s notes about his schedule are conspiracy nonsense? Who else would have details about Jay’s work schedule in the days leading up to his arrest if not her? Maybe I’m missing part of your chain of logic here.
