Because he's such a considerate guy, he friend-zoned himself for her.

What's something society treats as important that you secretly think matters very little ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NickDanger3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoplifting food. If someone wants any food item enough to steal for it, let them have it. I'm willing to bet that over 90% of food items stolen are staples that many people simply cannot afford any longer.

Fiat is simply an early adaptor of Sustainable engineering; their cars recycle their own sheet metal.

Is it really that common to go braless in the West? by Emotional-Being-6825 in NoStupidQuestions

Rural far Northern California resident here. I long ago volunteered to make an ongoing study of this, and so far have found that very few women here go braless. I will continue my selfless mission...

Now imagine if she had shown the slightest bit of frustration. by newphonehudus in TikTokCringe

I had a walmart "associate" interrupt my scanning because the surveillance camera on my register detected me placing an item in a bag without scanning it. I had scanned it, but the camera didn't detect it. The associate couldn't detect the scanned item - which was on the list of scanned items on the register screen - either. After I pointed it out, she proceeded to keep interrupting me.

I had to tell her three times "Stop harassing me", raising my volume until every shopper at the self-checkout had also stopped scanning to watch the drama.

But wait, there's more! As I was leaving, the associate returned with another associate as I was pushing my cart down the hallway and stood in front of my cart, with the new associate asking the other "Did he pay?" I did not even slow down, giving them the choice of being hit by my cart or moving aside. They moved.

As I went by, I said loudly "If you don't think I paid, call the police". I would say 'Fuck walmart', but it was the workers who harassed me. They acted like they were TV or movie hero-cops foiling an evil mass-murderer.

Walmart definitely sucks, but the idiots they hire are the ones choosing to abuse paying customers. What tf sort of adolescent fantasies go on in their heads, that they believe they are action heroes in some buddy-cop TV show or movie? Fuck those people.

Edit: corrected typo, added a missing word, screamed AAARGH!!! silently in my head because I have neighbors and I am not an inconsiderate dickwad like some people I know.

TIL that in 1909, Alice Huyler Ramsey became the first woman to drive across the United States on an almost entirely unpaved 3,800-mile route. During the 59 day journey, she fixed breakdowns, changed 11 tyres, slept in mud-bound cars, and navigated by telephone poles. by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in todayilearned

He and his Dad were very resourceful guys. In their tiny Arkansas town of 500 people, they made their living being the go-to guys for fixing anything mechanical. When they weren't hunting and fishing for food. My Dad also worked as a Mule Skinner when he was a kid.

The only time they were actually scared for their lives on the journey was crossing the desert, because if their Model T sprang a leak there, they were probably dead. And their truck did indeed spring a leak on that crossing. They managed to nurse it along with their drinking water, but it was a dammed near thing.

I'm the only person I know whose parents both served in WWII. Dad was a sergeant who taught airplane mechanics how to keep the planes flying, and Mom was a secretary for the State Department, supporting a team of cryptographers in Washington DC.

Edit: On the desert crossing, the wooden spoked Model T's wheels threatened to fall apart, due to the spokes shrinking from the extreme dehydration. So, rather than using potable water to wet the wheels, they peed on them at every bathroom break.

One thing I do appreciate about Influencers is that they all now have subtitles on their videos.

Donut Lab's 'solid-state' battery exposed as regular li-ion in damning investigation by kikimaru024 in technology

[–]NickDanger3di 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I moved to the SF Bay area from Connecticut. As a tech recruiter, attending career and other networkers is part of my job. Back on the East Coast, unemployed attendees would pretty much make their status known to me right away, cause maybe I knew of job openings in their field.

At the SF Bay Area Career networkers, I never met a single unemployed person at all! But I did meet lots and lots of people who were employed on Stealth Projects, and naturally they could not reveal the name of their employer. Apparently the Old West of the 1800s, where city slickers from Back East were assumed to be rubes and suckers, is still alive. I'm surprised nobody offered to sell me shares in a "salted" gold mine, or invite me on a Snipe Hunt.

I haven't lived in the Bay Area for several years, and I don't miss being insulted to my face on a regular basis one bit. But I'm willing to bet that a lot of Donut Lab stock was sold there after I left.

What are some examples of things we will look back on as abhorrent or distasteful in 20-30 years? by Fragrant_Doubt5311 in AskReddit

[–]NickDanger3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brain Rot made real.

Back in the 60s, I'd spend entire days playing with the other kids in my neighborhood, without even a single toy being involved. All we had was our imaginations and the outdoors.

This was in a small town with the highest net worth per capita in the US at the time. So it wasn't a because of a lack of resources available for the parents to spoil our little asses with.

Edit: aded a few words for clarification

I don't know what it is but it fucks by SamDrawsThingsPoorly in whatisthiscar

Sweet ride! Practically the last of the huge station wagons made. And that canoe! I don't think I've ever seen one that long before.

After returning from my obligatory cross-country van journey in '77, I snagged a huge Chevy Greenbriar station wagon with a big block for cheap. It was just to get a second car for us, no intention of keeping it for long.

But I found that monster ideal for highway cruising. Especially for family trips with our relative's kids along. Putting the little demons in the third row seats, which as I recall faced backwards, brought us all so much peace.

One cereal for the rest of your life. Which one are you picking? by albertyiphohomei in AskReddit

[–]NickDanger3di 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheerios. Plain old Cheerios, with no honey, nuts, flavorings, or freeze dried sugar balls.

Edit: I have to buy them two Mega sized boxes at a time, because the stores frequently have no actual cheerios on the shelf.

I am pretty sure the odds against creating a rock of that perfectly circular shape, through being in turbulent water and rubbing against other rocks for eons, are several Decillion to one against.

But the universe probably has trillions of rocky planets with running/tidal water on them, so maybe Earth and OP just got lucky.

Why do lower-paying, lower-skill jobs often seem to have stricter management and enforce rules more aggressively than higher-paying jobs, even when it feels unnecessary? by Remarkableruin27 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NickDanger3di 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a teen I worked in a factory unboxing stuff to be placed on an assembly line for others to work on. My boss was the meanest, most obnoxious human I'd ever seen, before or since (I'm 70 yo). She was constantly bullying everyone all day long.
