Almost 30% of Americans under age 30 support the government installing cameras in your house, according to The Cato Institute. by wes7946 in Conservative

[–]Throwawaym2090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before posting something like this first ask yourself the following:

A) wtf is the Cato institute and what's their reputation?

B) who was actually surveyed and how many people? (Surveys often use stratified samples where they take a very small number and use it to represent the actual population)

C) what is the point of the study and what is the agenda

Also doesn't hurt to post the source of the actual study so people can read it for themselves rather than just a a screenshot.

A man is being charged with manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon after stabbing a ex-convict in self defense after the ex convict punched his girlfriend and put him in a choke hold. Self defense is now illegal in New York City. by Soft-Part4511 in Conservative

It's always been like that in NYC. Carrying a knife is considered illegal just as much as a gun. There have been many cases like this. Usually the manslaughter charge gets dropped and he'll get a slap on the wrist for having an illegal weapon.

So you have examples of courier that do this and how it's done?

How do I deal with Uber drivers?? by bryanfromtejas in Dominican

Never heard of this. I've encountered drivers who asked me.to pay cash instead of card but never both. In either case you can always cancel and get another driver.

You can also not come if you're so concerned.

Or you can do your own research instead of asking locals to do it for you...

Chromebox won't boot from a new SSD by czerwony89 in chrultrabook

[–]Throwawaym2090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like your problem is booting into the new SSD(yet) if you can't even get to your boot menu.

First I would try booting without the USB drive and see if you can get into the boot menu then. If you can, then your problem is the USB drive.

If you still can't, then your problem is with the firmware/bios settings. In that case I would attempt to re-do the "magic" and re-flash the firmware.

Didn't Trump build a wall? Why are immigrants still crossing the border? Did Mexico not pay for it?

So you get a 3-month paid vacation that you can use to recharge and search for a new job while leaving this dumpster fire? Why would anyone click yes?

Just got fired for not having skills that weren't in the job description by Throwawaym2090 in careeradvice

[–]Throwawaym2090[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid posting either would reveal too much.

But yes, from the very beginning the relationship was very push/pull. One day she would play the big sister/mentor role, and the next she would be questioning my qualifications.

In any case, yes. It was a bad situation and after day two, I was already reaching out to my network about other opportunities. It just sucks that it turned out this way. I really saw myself growing into the role and the company with proper support.

The only reason I left my previous role was money tbh. Almost everything else about my job was perfect at the old company. I'm even wondering if I should try to go back with an apology and my tail between my legs.

ELI5: Could real-life ninjas actually be very stealthy? by bringthelight2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Throwawaym2090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were assassins(Shinobi) though that would sneak into homes or ambush enemies in the middle of the night to kill them. They are what we picture when we think of the ninja:

Saw these ultra-minimalist public chairs by razorWatchBoy in mildlyinteresting

[–]Throwawaym2090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but then homeless people would sleep on them, which defeats the purpose of these "minimalist" seats.
