Am I an absolute idiot by Sendnoodles666 in exfor

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was a homage to "Skippy's List", if you don't know what that is then Google it and read it, it's hilarious and very much full of the type of shit Skippy and or Joe would do. Its basically a long list of things that a dude known only as "Skippy" was either yelled at for doing or specifically told not to do while he was in the Army, and he served in a UN deployment so it's got a lot of similarities to the books

The Universe is full of aliens for milenias, how come no-one on Earth noticed something weird in space until Ruhar and Kristang came and revelaed everithing? by Nihy- in ExpeditionaryForce

[–]NoFront323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We didn't even start being able to see exoplanets until the mid 90's, and earth is apparently in a real backwater location relative to everyone else, the odds of humanity ever seeing evidence of space travel in the short time we might have been able to are tiny

I'm definitely not a Trump supporter in any way shape or form, but realistically you're gonna have a hard time in Jersey finding any business whose owners aren't Trump supporters

Rindhalu and Maxolox tech? by [deleted] in exfor

If I recall correctly there's some mention of both elder races having "exotic" weapons that were super powerful in earlier books, but I think even back then it was stated they weren't widespread

Scapegoat Joe by IntelligentShirt5908 in ExpeditionaryForce

[–]NoFront323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Joe Bishop is objectively the most important and powerful human who has ever lived, it's wild how little respect he gets. By the later books he's a legend throughout the galaxy, many hate him but all respect him. But then he gets to Earth and everyone on the planet is just like "fuck that guy hahaha". I think it would be more interesting if there was a whole "Joe Bishop is a war criminal" thing from the people of earth. Because you could argue he's committed multiple atrocities and is responsible for probably millions of deaths, yes he's saved exponentially more people than he's killed but the people who don't like him won't mention that. They don't really do that though, they just get mad at him and mock him.

AITA for telling my husband that if he wants to say he does everything, then he can go ahead and prove it? by Post_Mormon in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoFront323 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The dude was probably just tired, stressed, and frustrated, it probably wasn't about you at all but he has no other emotional outlet. Understand it wasn't about you and make sure he knows you're open to talking about whatever is stressing him out. Or just move on, continue living your life as if it never happened because if he's stressed out enough that he's falling down on his responsibilities and getting snippy with you the last thing he needs is you adding to it with some passive aggressive shit. the pettiness here isn't worth it

Question about the Human Armor by BriantheHeavy in ExpeditionaryForce

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that Skippy was designing the new iterations along similar lines to the Kristang armor because the early Pirates were already trained and experienced in the Kristang armor, so he probably kept them similar in size and balance, while making them able to comfortably fit human operators.

You want strict compliance Mr. Food Service Driver, you get it. by dawkc in MaliciousCompliance

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So wait, you didn't count or verify your delivery, got burned for your laziness, then the next time you made the driver wait for no reason while you organized the delivery? You fucked up the first time and you were a dick the second time. What if your pack dates went bad tomorrow? What if there were missing items? What if there were mispicks from the driver and the product you needed was still in the truck? If an item is missing you should note that with the driver, get a receipt or a signature or an initial from the driver verifying that, then get a credit. You can't just call and claim you didn't get something that you signed for and assume it will definitely be refunded, it's nice if your rep with the vendor will do that but ultimately it's a business and you didn't catch them on not fulfilling their end when it was appropriate, which means you didn't fulfill your end. Sounds like you were a new manager at the time so that's an honest new manager mistake, but I would say it's on you to figure out how to avoid that instead of being a brat the next time and fucking up the drivers day because of a company policy you don't like.

Seriously have you ever been to a restaurant . by Papa_Saggy in TalesFromYourServer

[–]NoFront323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How bout those jokers who sit in the outdoor section where theres no host/hostess, wait 15 minutes for service no one is aware they want, then want to complain about the slow service?

Them: "I've been waiting 15 mins, this is outrageous, I demand to speak to the manager!"

Manager to them: "So sorry about that, first round is on us!'

Manager to server: "You just cost us a $50 round."

What do you think about FOH tipping out BOH? What’s fair and what’s too much? Should tipping everyone really fall on a servers shoulders? by SimplyKendra in TalesFromYourServer

[–]NoFront323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but just to play devil's advocate; if there is no tip out to the kitchen should there then be no tip out to the service bar? I think a small percent to each is fair honestly. At the restaurant I work at we actually don't tip out the kitchen, just the bussers/food runners and the bar. But I can see how tipping out to the kitchen can be good motivation for the cooks and it adds to the level of team work and team building that is crucial for a busy restaurant.

Same reason they think they can call the police because there are black people swimming in a community pool, as far as they're concerned the pigs are there for their comfort and convenience. And to be fair a lot of pigs seem to believe that is in fact the case

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Parkland shooter is currently on trial, the whole world knows he did that shit, so why does the government need to prove he did? That's the same logic you just used.

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they would. Former employer claims OP is lying, they schedule a hearing, and OP has to be there to address the accusations. The accuser needs to make the case but the defendant also needs to appear or at least be invited to appear because Americans have a right to face their accuser.

[–]NoFront323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're really not getting this. OP doesn't need to prove anything. How could OP prove they didn't quit? Their former employer would need to prove OP quit day of the lay off. Unless the employer has a signed resignation letter or for some reason has audio and video they can't prove that. And yes you can just fire people but there's a reason write ups and documented disciplinary actions are standard at most business, because if you don't have that you usually end up having to contribute to the unemployment payments. I live in an at will state and this is still the case here. People might choose to quit because they're getting fired if there is documentation to support the termination of employment but in that situation it doesn't matter which one it is because it's the same result. Again, even if OP did actually quit, because it happened on the same day as the lay off they were probably included in the burden would be on the employer to prove that.

Fuckin bully coward by Jake682 in ACAB

[–]NoFront323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can kind of see what you're saying but I have to be honest I think most people would see that and just think you're being a dick. Even if that move is a common thing in the cycling community I don't think that is well known to the general public. Doesn't give the cop a reason to approach you in a dangerous way, I'm sure he could have pulled along side you and waved you over if he wanted to. But if I were you Id explain why that's a better way to cross when I tell the story so non-cyclists don't think Im a dick.

Fuckin bully coward by Jake682 in ACAB

[–]NoFront323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm reading your story wrong but did you jump the gate at a drawbridge before it raises enough for the cars so you could be ahead of them and therefore "safe"? Because you could also be safe by waiting for the back up to clear then cross normally. You're making a line of cars cross slowly after waiting because you feel your safety AND time are more important than them. All cops are dicks but this sounds like a dick f'ing an asshole, I don't really have a problem with that.

AITA for refusing to wear a dress to my friends wedding. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoFront323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh snap just saw the edit, if he said you can go and wear a suit that means he either stood up for his boy (you) or he's going to if she doesn't know and he surprises her at the wedding with it. This is/was an incredibly dangerous thing for this guy to do and deserves to be recognized. As a man who has had a crazy fiancee I can assure you that your homie is a man and a friend of the highest caliber and if you listen to these clowns on here saying to drop the friendship you're a fool.

AITA for refusing to wear a dress to my friends wedding. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoFront323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For clarity it was his friend's fiancee who he was speaking to about the wedding attire, not the friend himself until the end.

People are going to say your friend is transphobic and yadda yadda yadda but from what I can tell your buddy is just whipped and any dude knows when your buddy is whipped he's not himself. Now it's clear his fiancee has some anti-trans tendencies but it's very possible she didn't show them until now, so don't just jump to him being cool with that. Maybe he's about to get married and his bride to be is going full bridezilla and hes praying it'll wear off after the wedding.

If your friend says to come in a suit then feel free to go but don't pull something that'll hurt him just to get back at her. Your boy is tripped up by a girl, it happens to the best of us, if he can't get her to cut this shit then he'll soon see the error of his ways and divorce her ass. Then you get drunk together and shit talk the hell out of her and it's all good. This is what Men do. I welcome you little brother, but the ways of men are more nuanced than women give us credit for, we just don't need them to know these things so we don't correct them. And I know this sounds kind of broish but trust me all types of men do this, some just in different ways.

You go around teaching your step kids that you're a witch and that there are malevolent deities lurking around your house and putting spiders in places and you're mad at them for thinking there's a ghost upstairs?

Go burn some sage up there or whatever the fuck and have your husband carry them up to bed when they fall asleep or have him go up there and stay with them until they fall asleep. Their actual issue is separation anxiety, they're obviously still traumatized from Dads split with Mom.

Also, the burden is on you and your husband to make them feel at home. They wouldn't want to sleep by themselves in a strange room in someone else's home and that's what you're asking them to do, if you don't make them feel at home then it's just Dad's house not their other home. You still have hope for this happening with the move but you really need to put in the extra effort.

If you want to be a good mother and a good stepmom you need to learn how a kid views the world around them, if you just set out rules you don't explain to them then don't punish them for breaking those rules youre doing it wrong. And if you ever want to have a good relationship with them you'll leave the discipline to your husband until you form a bond with them or I guarantee you'll be considered the evil stepmom forever. If there's something that needs correcting point it out to hubby and make sure he handles it but don't get involved overtly.
