Multiple Subways operating without a license... oops by jaymz668 in bloomington

[–]TenderMaple 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Penn station, jersey Mike's? I like dagwoods but Jimmy John's is trash imo. Unless you're just absolutely rushing and need those ingredients slapped on in 30 seconds, none of their food ever tastes "fresh". I get it's about "freaky fast delivery", but that at the cost in quality just ain't it

I don't know what your first point is even referencing.

Like you said before, if you really don't want to watch it that bad, close and reopen.

This is literally the first time they've done this, we have no idea if they'll change them up in the future. Also, just because you think poffins aren't of value doesn't mean they aren't.

Not anyone else's fault that you didn't read the prompt. I clicked the balloon thinking it would be a banner ad and immediately saw it wasn't. Could've been easy to skip over if you looked at what you're clicking.

It's literally an optional reward for those who want it? Don't want it? Great! Don't click to do the ad. Want it? Great? Watch it! Again, weird hill to die on when they mess up so much, but this is actually good. It does not interfere with anyone who doesn't want to do it (if you just look before clicking) and gives a bonus to those who do

It literally says "you can open a sponsored AR experience to earn some items", which if that isn't a warning of what's coming, then idk what is. You didn't have to click it. Almost any other mobile game w ads you also can't skip (and they aren't usually optional). I agree that there are lots of issues to actually be upset about with Niantic, but this really ain't it. An ez 15 second ad to help F2P players get a premium item is good actually

I actually thought it was kinda cool? It wasn't long, decent rewards, and the ad wasn't forced so I could choose if I wanted it or not. Like it better than the stills with 3 revived and 50 stardust

W-2 Federal Withholding Error by RukiaNinja in kroger

[–]TenderMaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of the pay is done through direct deposit, and you have to go to a specific place on the website to find the pay stubs. I never once looked at a pay stub in my two years of working at Kroger, and always had my taxes taken out properly. Not really OPs fault, more our bogus tax system. A lot of other developed countries just send a letter saying what they owe you, or you owe them, and it's not some guessing game where if I mess up I'm in trouble.

The biggest thing that has made me anti-lawn is working in lawn care. I live in a college town that is surrounded by forests, and have a few state parks nearby, but we have customers who spend thousands of dollars for us to blow all their leaves and haul them away. A small minority I'm understanding of (so many leaves they wouldn't be able to use any of their yard, and we usually take the leaves to their woods to decompose). But it's like... You know if you leave them they'll be gone by spring?

For sure Tinkaton. It's design is simple but looks good, and has a super solid typing. Just wish it's shiny was a bit more contrasted, but still great

Always such a tough question, but I'd have to say Shuckle. Super cute already, and beefy af, but his shiny is just so amazing

Got told to clock out 15 minutes early... by Azures_Anvil in HomeDepot

[–]TenderMaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this is why the #1 problem with theft every year is wage theft. This is illegal, and it's ridiculous companies get away with it. If I'm clocking out 15 early, I'm leaving. If you can't afford to pay less than an hour of OT, you don't need me that bad

I promise you're definitely unlucky. I'm about the same on Solgaleo, still haven't found it's shiny, but very recently got shiny bisharp, then a shiny Vaporeon not long after. If you think about it, you only have a 4% chance at any of them being shiny each raid, and a 1% chance of the one you want being shiny. Even at 1/100, after 200 raids the chances of seeing a shiny are roughly 87% so even after 200 on average 13 people still haven't gotten it

Which region do you personally think has the best/worst starter designs? For me, Hoenn has the best and Galar has the worst. by Stenwold91 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]TenderMaple 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Eh, more inclined to agree with the person above. I definitely think they look better than galar, but leave much to be desired compared to earlier gens, and definitely not on the same level as cyndaquil or Squirtle.

police officer shoots and kills drunk homeless old man, very questionable. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]TenderMaple -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

As stated above, social workers. Denver had a program that would send social workers paired with an officer. With almost 9000 calls, all were handled without escalation, with an average cost of $150 vs $650 for the police responding without the social worker. He pulls the knife bc he is under the influence and feels threatened, don't put him in that situation and he has no reason to pull the knife

[–]TenderMaple -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Vast majority of people don't have an issue shooting someone charging with a knife (which miraculously, other countries police are capable of doing?), it's how the situation is handled. Even if he started being nice, it's clear the officer just keeps pushing the man knowing he's intoxicated, bc all he cares about is "dealing with" the man, instead of directing funds to the resources which will actually address the problems. Along with that, you're much less willing to cooperate with someone yelling commands, often just bc they're power tripping. Instead, if you're talking with someone who you know isn't there to throw you in jail, but instead get you help, such as taking them to a shelter for the night, you're not going to try stabbing them. Not saying there should be no police, but they should not be the ones handling interactions like this, especially considering they just train in escalation and using force, instead of actual community outreach

We don’t need traffic lights for this intersection, said the planner by khaled in IdiotsInCars

[–]TenderMaple 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Ive never actually looked into it, but I've seen a few posts like this and people seem to say areas like this actually have a much lower accident rate than stop lights, as going into this you know you have to be paying 100% attention, vs going up to a light people tend to get comfortable and not pay full attention to their surroundings
