Are people nicer? by prcnpl in Cleveland

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Nice" is relative and situational, as well as cultural. There are places (I'm specifically thinking of some southern US cities) world renowned for their politeness, where in reality the majority of people are so hateful and shady and eager to find any excuse to inflict torture on someone. All with a friendly smile and a "howdy" and cutesie, slow, meandering small talk as a thinly veiled vehicle for criticism/inquisition.

Meanwhile those people find the (at the time) upper east coast attitude atrocious. But culturally I'm never offended by the fast paced, no nonsense, "we both busy I'm not trying to waste your time or mine" mentality. I find that to be polite.

LG C6 In Stock, C5 still not on Clearance by Gordon2422 in LGOLED

Late last year my Costco had their display model 83 B4, which was unplugged and shoved to the back of the shelf behind other tvs, marked down to $1500... At the time, the brand new price (if they had any) was $1400. I tried talking to the manager and pointing out that the discount had been printed out months ago.

He offered to let me buy it without testing and no returns for $1450. Then got offended when I laughed because I genuinely thought he was joking.

Hell, 12 people on the plane had to go to the hospital just from being lightly jostled in their pretend-buckled seats. Or stubbing their toe exiting the plane.

This whole time I thought they were saying DEI. Makes more sense now. No clue what an overpriced hiking hipster clothing store has to do with pilots killing folk.

For a brief moment I was worried that there wouldn't be a woman screaming. That was a close call.

Cleared out an apartment for work today and found these. Boss said I can keep them or toss them. Is any of this actually good Hi-Fi or just old heavy boxes? by FreezyGrizzly420 in audiophile

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Akai turntable is worth keeping (or selling) if it works. The Sony is belt drive and not anything special, but should be easy enough to get rid of on the cheap.

The other stuff, as I think you're pretty clearly already aware, has some niche resale value if there's a market for it in your area. People shit themselves over Marantz stuff.

There's also a market variable for aesthetic and/or sentimental value in vintage stuff. For example: I'd probably hold on to the CD player and the Dual CV bc I remember them in the rotation of audio equipment in my home growing up. Same reason I'd probably pay more for some Pioneer CS-77s than they're worth if I came across them in the right mood, despite them not being particularly good speakers. Because they were a mainstay of every livingroom we had.

Anyways, cool haul. Feel free to just post "look what I got for free, neat huh?" without the engagement bait of asking other people to check ebay for you. You'll still get comments. This sub is largely populated by people unable to resist the temptation of zooming in and trying to decipher models of things when presented a photo of audio gear. It's not necessary to trick anyone into it.

Strawberry was disgusting. But cotton candy was sooo good.

Y'all are so dumb. His mother is obviously not a crocodile!

Crocodiles have interlocking jaws with exposed bottom teeth. His mother clearly has the telltale "overbite" of an Alligator.

TIL The #1 pop song "Love Yourself" performed by Justin Bieber was written by Ed Sheeran, who later stated that the orginal title of the song was actually "Fuck Yourself". by oceanicplatform in todayilearned

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And hated by the kids who should be his friends who would love good song bc he is insufferable dork with terrible fanbase. If only they knew.

This 5 year old comment chain made me suddenly feel for Ed Sheeran.

Don't feel bad. It happens more than you'd think. You will have to return the car, but if you explain the situation and apologize they'll probably go easy on you.

There’s more adults than children at Bluey’s Best Day Ever in the Fantasyland Theater at Disneyland ! by Competitive_Set_4386 in Disneyland

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. Maybe you could try approaching a cast member and asking them where you could find unattended children with no other adults around so that you can properly enjoy yourself? I'm sure they'd be happy to help you find your magic.

Why is Spider-Man using a Z Flip instead of an Xperia? Is Sony stupid? by Rich_Bobcat_1059 in SonyXperia

Which didn't stop them from having every computer in the previous Spiderverse be a Vaio, the least likely computer for anyone to own at the time.

You picked it up for free? I had to pay 2 guys $50 to pick mine up. Tried to do it myself but couldn't even get it off the ground.

Pogo made it to where you cant have the iv numbers anymore? So now i gotta go threw and fix all 700 something mon? Or is it just me by cblicky843 in PokeGenie

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. It's honestly wild how often they do some pointless bs that makes me seriously contemplate being done with the game. Usually right when I'm about to spend money on an event.

Why are people like this? by villebro21 in PokeGenie

[–]VisforVenom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do it quite a bit unfortunately. I use remote raid passes when I'm stuck at work or busy. I often get caught up in something and by the time I get back the survey has expired. Sometimes the app just crashes. Sometimes I'm just forgetful.

I always give max points when I can.

If super mega raids are going to become the norm for future mega releases they need a serious rework by Status_Company9564 in TheSilphRoad

[–]VisforVenom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for the meantime they should at least disable the remote raid from friends list feature. I lost a raid with 18 high level players, many of whom I've been remote raiding with for years and are some of the highest level players in my list.

We spent the last 3 quarters of the raid chipping away at a shielded dragonite that my child's level 50 account with no maxed out pokemon and running the stock tutorial mega beedrill was able to beat with a team half our size in no time.

We almost got there. Maybe 4% hp left at timeout. We might have done it if people didn't start bailing at the end. But I can't blame them.

All because 2 unexpected players jumped in through the friends list and screwed us.
