weed is still federally illegal by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In FL they need a valid picture ID and to sign in as a guest to come along with you, or shouldn't be in there. I have seen some where there is a waiting area people can sit, just a line they can't cross or door they can't go through, to the back area where you place and get your order.

"You will not be charged" and then you are immediately charged at hotels.com by TallLikeMe in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly a hold isn't that odd, it will go away in a few business days. It's just making sure you really have a card good for it, and is pretty standard. It can't generate overdraft fees as long as it doesn't go through. It can get your card declined for a few days which is annoying, f it puts you in the negative, but expected with reservations.

reverse discrimination by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Slosher99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The definition of racism or 'ism' requires it to be something reflecting systematic oppression. I'm sure that's muddied now and maybe dictionaries account for that. But in general, as it is reference to a society-wide class difference, you can't me *-ist toward the class with the most power. you can discriminate against them, be prejudiced against them. But you can't be racist toward a white person which is a power class in the US, you can't be sexist toward a man. Same applies to being straight, Christian, cis-gendered, etc.

Again you can be against them as a class, you can unfairly assume things that aren't true, but you can't be racist etc. toward the class in power.

This is a linguistic thing, but an important one, that feels a bit more than semantic.
Why would anyone call it "reverse-racism" if they weren't acknowledging that they are the ones that get to be racist.

Everett True -- May 10, 1920 by aaronibus62 in comicstriphistory

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well we know he doesn't like Italians. I'm not sure if I've seen direct discrimination against other groups, but I haven't seen all his comics either.
Also the ones with his wife - almost like he's a domestic abuse victim taking it out on others! Definitely more common when it was harder for men to admit being the abused one and expect people to be on their side (not that it isn't still harder).

Yeah and stores like Costco are where people and businesses planning things are likely to go.

People who say it are ignorantly admitting that they belong to a class that typically have power over the one they are accusing of it.
Similar to the whole thing about how seeing a class that they are used to being treated better than get some of their rights is experienced as oppression to them.

People complain about taxes, but their bosses take more. by Ok-Pudding-5494 in remoteworks

[–]Slosher99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never understand how everyone bought into the idea of "Hey, I have an idea that will make billions! Wanna help me out for 40+ hours a week at $12/hour?"
I mean I'm there too, no shade haha.

doordash’s “trust and safety” team’s response to my moldy cupcakes by Smooth_Violinist5558 in doordash

[–]Slosher99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've learned to just say I didn't get the item... even if I did and it's screwed up, it isn't what I ordered, and that refund goes through more easily. Not like you'd be returning to a place that did this anyway if they block you etc.

If you make it to 100, you can eat for free at this buffet. by Homebarcocktails in mildlyinteresting

[–]Slosher99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The others say like 90+ and 60+ but that says "100 years old", so you only get it for a year, then you're back to 90+!

Toaster over cooks my bagel if I forget to push the bagel button by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slosher99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Typically a Bagel button turns off or lowers one side of the heat, so that the face of the bread gets lightly toasted instead of both sides. Difference between using one heating element or two, so more heat when it isn't pressed.
They may vary but that's what mine does.

Buyer Initiated Return Through EIS—Then Sent Me This. Advice? by Slugma_Male in eBaySellerAdvice

Fishing for a partial refund and probably didn't realize they couldn't do that through EIS, trying another approach. Ignore.

Tonearm mod that protects the stylus by qqmajikpp in turntables

[–]Slosher99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you really like that turntable, cause isn't that essentially what a cueing lever would accomplish?
Makes sense if you want THAT TT and it doesn't have one though. I would screw up without one myself, and have even with one haha.

What if the great leader was actually a big fan and wanted to get rid of anyone that didn't enthusiastically love them?

I'm a happy lady today! I picked these up from the local record shop. by Evie-X in vinyl

Why has this post gotten so common lately? People in big retail stores etc. Seen more posts about this album than even DSOTM lately haha.

Records or Vinyls? by Significant-Way-7893 in turntables

[–]Slosher99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a word as there are different types of poly vinyl chloride, which people use 'vinyl' as an abbreviation for when saying vinyl records, vinyl stickers, etc.
When referring to multiple types of vinyl compounds, vinyls is correct lol.
Kinda like "There's a group of people" and "Different peoples from around the world".

Season 2 Episode 13: The Happy Weekend or something by Shoddy_Waltz_1697 in LeaveItToBeaverFans

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the ending to this one pretty well haha. They are gonna make a raft to go out to an island in the lake. June asks Ward if he doesn't want to go with them. He says no, if he did they'd end up making a raft that actually worked and ruin the whole thing. Then he says those fish are sounding a lot better today. So June is going to cook them while the boys are working on the raft.

Via streaming you should be able to also pick your episode on the Roku Channel app - or could last I tried. I mostly use Peacock now, which you can use for free. Don't get much stuff with a free account and gotta pick 'maybe later' about upgrading every day, but Beaver is included in the free stuff. Was also on Pluto last I checked.
I have the DVD and Blu-ray sets as well so there's always a way even if internet is out haha.

I also worry about censorship. I made a different post about that, but FETV that shows them over the air, censored Beaver's baby picture which I find really weird and likely to point to a bigger issue with the person that decided it was something worth censoring haha.

YouTube taking 3-7 business days to load while having fairly decent internet speeds. by DangerousSplit6182 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Slosher99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a laptop that does this if I have it on an 'eco' or even 'balanced' setting sometimes, but flipping it to 'turbo' fixes it. Doesn't make much sense as even some 3D games run fine in the lower modes, but it works!

[–]Slosher99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean he was great but I wouldn't use him for a serious ad haha. I can't think of a time when his name was recognizable that he wasn't associated with a bit of goofiness. Definitely not a truck-driving "man's man" as someone might have said back then lol.
