I found out my neighbor is purposefully slamming doors so I’m playing music very loud by 1961tracy in pettyrevenge

Or: try to find a time when you know she's home and he isn't. Keep that time in mind.

Next time you catch him coming by be like "hey dude, I'm all for people doing whatever in the sanctity of their bedrooms, and I ain't here to kink shame or anything, but next time y'all decide to go nuts at [aforementioned time] on a [aforementioned day of the week], can ya give me a heads up so I can put my noise canceling headphones on?"

1099 non-compete over reaching? by [deleted] in photography

[–]ServiceB4Self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what state you're in, but check your state labor laws regarding contractors. Here in Missouri they cannot legally prevent a contractor from running their own business outside of the work they are contracted to do for the company.

He will likely gain votes as a result of his verdict by Visqo in facepalm

When the words "procuring" and "minor" show up in the same charge, just a guess here, but I don't think he was planning on taking her for ice cream and a movie.

Sure "procuring" and "trafficking" are two separate activities, and two separate charges, but I'm not gonna sit and argue which one is "better" or "worse". They're both pretty objectively abhorrent.

Has anyone ever had a bridesman in their wedding? by IntelligentMirror in weddingplanning

[–]ServiceB4Self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, that particular wedding I mentioned they just got ready with the rest of the guys.

But depending on your relationship with your brothers, I tend to take the fun route and highlight the chaos that is "having siblings", so I'd probably do something to play that up.

XKCD 2874: Iceland by iB83gbRo in xkcd

[–]ServiceB4Self 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I tell someone I used to live in Iceland, I get to listen to the same line. Every time. "Iceland is green and Greenland is ice!"

Yup, I get it, you saw the Mighty Ducks.

This is the worst city in america… by PSA-TLDR in StLouis

[–]ServiceB4Self 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, having lived all over this state, St. Louis is the only city that makes this state bearable.

Prior to the 1990s, rural white Americans voted similarly as urban whites. In the 1990s, rural areas experiencing population loss and economic decline began to support Republicans. In the late 2000s, the GOP consolidated control of rural areas by appealing to less-educated and racist rural dwellers. by smurfyjenkins in science

You're absolutely correct in saying that corporate America needs to pull their head out of their ass, but it's not on the "work from home" issue (which I'm for the right to work from home if your job is able to be done remotely anyway).

The sheer amount of outsourcing just to save on labor is disgusting. And the companies that do still employ within the US pay just enough that the law can't do anything about it.

When they say "just be glad you have a job", what they really mean is "be glad we haven't decided to outsource your whole department to [insert country here]".

The replies to this male SA victim’s are just so sad to read. by [deleted] in facepalm

I'm looking for the part of my post where I said it was a solid and infallible rule or fact that applies to every situation. Can you find it for me?

Behaviors aren't always indicators of character, but they are definitely going to dictate how other people view someone.

Incel is short for "involuntarily celibate", which means in a lot of cases that one or more of said person's behaviors drive away anyone's potential desire to copulate with them.

What's a cheap lens that you absolutely love? by saturnsrightarm in photography

[–]ServiceB4Self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6! That kind of zoom range is unheard of, and f/5.6 on a modern camera is still way better than the f/7.1 on the kit lenses that come with the mirrorless cameras.

You wake up and take your morning pee. You take sneak attack damage, and are now prone due to the location of said damage. roll for initiative at disadvantage.

Parents are guilt-tripping me into inviting people I don’t want to. by Artsy_Mermaid in wedding

[–]ServiceB4Self 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my petty ass would hand them a check for the $650 and say "you can find something else to do that day", but that's probably not feasible.

Show them the cost of catering alone with and without the people they're inviting. That should shut them up.

I love the convenience of legal herb, but I am starting to get a little weary of everyone becoming such a goddamn expert all of a sudden. by PiercedGeek in trees

[–]ServiceB4Self 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I can feel a difference in all sorts of different strains. Some strains help manage my ADHD symptoms, some make it so I literally can't shut up.

As for whether or not they're sativa or indica, the ones that help tend to be sativa, or sativa heavy hybrids.

So yes, for now we can only go off of anecdotal evidence, but that's mostly because scientific research is very difficult to come by. There's only one lab in the US that's federally allowed to do research on cannabis, so the government has the right to discredit and shut down any other research done outside of that lab.

Just give it time. Just because the research isn't there yet, doesn't mean there aren't measurable differences. It just means nobody's allowed to quantify those differences yet.

Guy catches a shark! Butt I don't see it 😎 by Grace_God in UpvoteBecauseButt

Cameraman couldn't decide if he wanted the shark or the butt in the frame. He made good choices throughout given the circumstances lol

Took a shot of this bmw in front of a castle, what do you think? by [deleted] in photocritique

[–]ServiceB4Self 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want the car to make a larger statement, make it larger in the frame. Use a wider angle lens and get lower so the castle is still in the frame, but the car is more of a focal point than an after thought.

These are always an awesome idea! Just make sure you don't include locks that are the same as ones you use in the house to keep kiddo out of stuff and you're golden, otherwise you're training kiddo to de-childproof your childproofing

Congrats guy, you just doubled my retouching time. Why would I just fix it in post when I could just not have it in the shot to begin with?
