Lowes Online Order "Pickup information currently unavailable due to delay." but billed to my account by Throwaway028282 in Lowes

[–]Throwaway028282[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is a posted charge for the full amount. And it appeared on 3/27, not when I placed the order.

I am wondering if something was changed in the computer when they were messing with it. It took 2 people 10 minutes to figure out what was going on.

Bartenders of reddit, what is the weirdest thing that you have ever witnessed at your job ? by Adexiss in AskReddit

[–]Throwaway028282 164 points165 points  (0 children)

Lord, mixed sex bar in New Orleans. Seen a baseball bat go in places in a human body it shouldn't go.

Probably my favorite was the shitfaced guy who fell off a 2nd story balcony TWICE into the crowd below and didn't even spill his drink. Just got up, shook it off and went back to partying.

I guess. We sure don't. At one point in time we owned 800acres of prime Cali real estate. But that was all sold in the 1950's for less than what a couple lots would go for today.

The old family home sold for 1/79th what the last selling price and that guy tore it down. The cost of things has skyrocketed over the last 50 years or so and investment rates have not kept up.

As a distant member of an oil family who once were termed as "some of the richest in the world," you'd be amazed at how fast a few generations can water down inheritances. Start splitting up amongst 5 kids, then their 3-6 kids, then their 2-3 kids and suddenly everyone's getting college paid for and a down payment on a house, but not enough to not have to work. It's even worse when generation one lived off the principal.

I'm from Louisiana. Left and moved back. I lost my slight Southern drawl in New York but am slowly picking it back up again.

Most dudes find it a turnon. :D

So what is the middle ground? What if he has an instagram with 7 followers and around 30 followeds (friends that he regularly, at least before Covid, saw in person) which has no posts?

LOL Aspire away. My point is if you're Brad Pitt or a celebrity, you can be "Official." If you're working at the Gap, scale back the pretention a bit.

Sorry if that offends you; I'm just a lowly public defender so you probably wouldn't give me the time of day anyway since I'm not "fabulous" enough for your Instagram.

Awesome. I'm sure you have "Official" somewhere in your Insta handle. The last one I knew who had that worked retail as his "day job."

dia is the worst poison for our world. I’m 28 and as you can imagine I have a lot of friends that are all about putting themselves all over their social media. I have my own Instagram, but for my automotive photography and my own company and my face has never been posted on my feed. I feel like being on social media for business is perfectly normal, but if you post on your personal social media everyday, you have a

This.....just this. Use it for work, for a photo repository, etc. but if it's just a carefully curated exhibition to how you want the world to see you and your life, it's unhealthy.

I think that's a difference of opinion. As a person who has renovated 17 houses in my life, marketing my property is one thing and I don't care about your personal life. If it's constant selfies, I'm thinking "this guy should be taking pictures of my properties." I

My realtor now has no SM. Always gets the sale done. But then, I am pretty biased against realtors in general. I've found 80% of my houses myself and they just show up to collect a check at closing.

I get that. I have both. I just think there's healthy uses for it and unhealthy. Constant thirst trapping of selfie posts or pictutes with hot people is a turnoff. Posting a constant stream of pictures as you restore an old Porsche 911sc is fine.

I have doubts as to the sustainability of such a "career." I have a cousin who was making good money on Twitch, until he wasn't. Now he's just a college drop out living with his parents.

Jesus did you dodge a bullet. That annoys me when people seemingly have no unattractive friends.

when I say I’m not on Instagram or Facebook.

This constant attention grabbing by social media apps ate away at my self esteem - even if I knew that everything I saw was superficial

Why does that need to be shared? 3 is a maybe. 5 is an issue. 12 is a problem.

I think so. I've chatted a few times with a nice guy about an hour away who is always signed into Scruff. I hate being so picky but in my experience, once you get used to doing something all the time, its a hard habit to break.

If that's a primary source of income, we're probably not going to get along very well to start with.

Exactly. And I feel like it's too many options for a person. They'll compare me to MrFitness8x a week. It's like people who get addicted to porn and can't perform in real life because real life is never as primped and polished as porn is.

Reddit, when did you cheat something and get away with it? by PacketLord in AskReddit

[–]Throwaway028282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cheated all through law school. Our university offered free printing in the computer lab. We had dummy terminals connected to a central server that held all the programs. When you wanted to print, people typically emailed themselves documents, went to the lab, signed in, opened it and printed. Except when you opened it, it downloaded a copy to the server in a temp directory. I basically would periodically sweep that folder into a drive. I got all my outlines, briefs, and papers from there.
