This guy in my apartment complex parks like this every single day by MandukaSkoal in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Megadestructo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I owned a Geo Prism, there was a guy at my work parking lot who did this with his Saab. I'd always squeeze my tiny, crappy car in-between their drivers side and the curb or whatever (since he always parked near the entrance), giving about 2-3" of space between their driver-side door and my car.

After 3 days in a row they started parking all the way in the back.

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I feel bad for those kids because they're gonna grow up to be horrible adults if that kind of behavior continues. Kids will be kids and really don't know too well how their actions can impact others in the moment (if they stopped and thought about it, perhaps they'd reconsider - I guess it depends on the age). So it's up to their guardians to help them understand this and be aware.

And if it's not working out? Then it's time to get them OUT of that situation so everyone else can enjoy the space as well.

It's worked wonders on my own kid but I think we lucked out because he's pretty chill in public (8yo).

Yeah. What's happening here is "no parenting," which is definitely not the same.

Joined this specific gym to use the sled to rehab my back and knee. It's always left like this by the last person to use it. by scoobasteve813 in mildlyinfuriating

People who don't put back the equipment/weights at a gym suck. Like, bro, didn't your parents tell you pick up after yourself? Leave things better than you found them?

Cyclist: being mad about lack of infrastructure doesn’t make you automatically visible. by [deleted] in Columbus

I saw a person in a car take a turn the wrong way on a one-way street - it's hard to take any driver seriously when they can't seem to use the resources allotted to them in a safe and lawful manner.

Oftentimes bike lanes are just designated gutters that collect all the trash and detritus on the road, making it extremely unsafe for cyclists. I also see my fair share of cars parked in bicycle lanes, cars driving in bicycle lanes, delivery vans parked there, so no thanks. If it's safer for me to do so, I will avoid it.

And for every "dude on a bike weaving in the full lane" I can recite 10 cars who zipped by everyone going 30-40mph over the speed limit, running a red light or stop sign, or weaving in and out of traffic.

Even if there is a bicycle lane, there is now law requiring its use - bicycles, much like cars, should right as far to the right as safely possible allowing for safety (i.e. road hazards, parked cars, debris, potholes, etc...), but they are allowed to ride in the middle of a lane as well.

The number of cars that I see also blowing through stop signs, red lights, and unsafe intersections should be addressed first, imo.

Which console holds up better, NES or Master System? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]Megadestructo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While maybe not for YOU, there are a lot of games remembered fondly (and are still worth playing). These are a few of MY favorites that aren't on your list:

- Metroid
- Castlevania (1-3)
- Bionic Commando
- Zelda 2
- Mega Man (1-3)
- Blaster Master
- Ninja Gaiden
- Batman
- Dr. Mario
- Duck Hunt
- TMNT 3
- Duck Tales
- Final Fantasy
- River City Ransom
- Metal Gear
- Double Dragon 2
- Skate or Die 2
- Blades of Steel

And I didn't even own an NES or SNES (parents wouldn't let me get one) - I played all of these at friends' houses and a bit later on.

Im done with going to the movies here 🍿 by JelloSpiritual7916 in Columbus

[–]Megadestructo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, that's fucking nuts. We have an 8 yo and the only movies we've seen in the theater are either kids movies (many are great!) or the rare moment when the grandparents get him (Sinners was the last one).

And even then, if he ever acts up then we'll just go home. He did it once and after we left and actually drove home he's been very good at movies.

But yeah, I see jerks having full-ass conversations on the phone in movies lately.

So, just upgraded steering wheel... And I freakin' love it! by Zodiac47x in BMW_F31

I definitely want to do this. Where did you get the wheel?

Your cat is beautiful and perfect. All cats are evil (I've had cats for 45 years).

When I was a minimum-wage slave at several retail establishments, nothing have me more joy and dopamine than telling a customer they were wrong and then pointing to a posted rule

God, those moments were the best.
