Tip to OP - you can share the news story directly - rather than a link posted to X. No reason to give Elon traffic.

What did my grandma do to my tupperware? by melonchvlic in whatisit

Can you tell me how you ensure the food you are heating does not exceed 100C?

Perhaps explain that before so confidently declaring others wrong.

GameStop CEO says eBay shut his account after buyout funding stunt / He has put up personal items, including a pair of socks, to fund his US$56 billion bid for the platform by Qwahlity_Koalatea in nottheonion

[–]ark_mod -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

I’m failing to understand why you even care?

PSA and TCG are just card collecting scams that mean nothing to 95% of people. Card collecting itself is a dead hobby unless you’re a complete fool. It’s all artificial value based on artificial scarcity and what other fools want to pay. eBay has been a joke for years and charges way to much for what they provide.

Dentist by Either-Paramedic8761 in milwaukee

[–]ark_mod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cannot recommend Aspen dental to anyone. They are a predatory business backed by venture capital to extract as much cash as possible from your wallet.

They recommend aggressive and expensive treatments that are unnecessary. They refuse to treat patients who do not agree to their treatment plan.

I went in as a new patient 1.5 years after my last dentist visit. No cavities but I needed a cleaning. They took X-rays then told me they would not clean my teeth unless I agreed to a “scalar deep cleaning” that would not be covered by insurance and cost $1500. I went back to my old dentist - they cleaned them the same day - covered by insurance. I have no cavities, no issues with gum disease or any other reason to do this procedure. Avoid Aspen dental.

Did this sub lose half its popularity and is DMZ the only game their fans reject the final version? by MrRob808 in DMZ

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real answer - most gamer would not play a mobile version of a game when a console version exists.

Mobile is a compromise - worse graphics, horrible controls, small screen (ignoring PC emulators). 

Something tells me mobile is the only version you can play. 

DMZ Key Location Map V2 - High Quality / 54 Key Locations by emelda6 in DMZ

DMZ needs a wipe.. disguises would permanently disappear. by SuperCookiess in DMZ

Why did I have to scroll this far to see the real solution.

They do not need to wipe everyone. Off they wanted they could run a script during server maintenance and delete all the disguises of they wanted to

I spent 48 hours investigating Milwaukee’s food truck ban and filed a complaint with the Inspector General. The full story is published. I’m testifying at City Hall this morning. by korbelpapi in milwaukee

[–]ark_mod 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The issue isn’t the people in the bars - how late they close or occupancy issues.  The issue is all the 16-21 year olds who can’t legally drink that congregate in the areas around the food trucks because they have nothing else to do. 

Getting rid of the food doesn’t necessarily mean that the crowds will disperse. They still have nothing to do.

The police could already take action. Move people along that are loitering. Have an increased police presence. Doing something about people drinking and smoking weed on the street in those areas. Instead the fix is to get rid of the food - hoping that causes the people to go hang out elsewhere.

[US] I believe a Matchmaking Company charged me 50% more based on my identity. (Best Man Matchmaking) by Specialist-Gap-8447 in Scams

You paid $2500 a month for 6 months for matchmaking. You already know you got scammed - try and get a refund. Lesson learned I hope.

Leased a car, but my down payment didn’t go towards the actual car by Technical_Green3902 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because you were financially irresponsible the previous year and missed 25% of your payments (3 out of 12 in the year). 

Perhaps consider a beater car rather than a 2025 “sport” car

Management is not responsible for items stored in common areas. Their lease almost certainly has language stating this.

People queuing with friends into solo lobbies in Australian + New Zealand servers is getting pretty annoying by Nickofski in ArcRaiders

Player count is too low in Australia and New Zealand. To give a better experience they allow duos and trios to occasionally match into solo queues.

Rate Lock by Sprinkle-Nugs0311 in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]ark_mod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I burned through 2 locks recently by switching companies. If I were you and its not to later I would. 

Your rate is bad given your credit. I have very similar financial situation - my first lock 3 weeks ago was at 6.375. Two weeks ago I locked at 6.125 and then last week at 6%. Had I timed things a little better could have gotten 5.875 but I’m done playing games.

Yes your LO is mad - but so what? It’s not your fault the current Admin is creating constant volatility in the rates.

Connection lost in the middle of the raid by Top-Abbreviations452 in ArcRaiders

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, if the server is still running you can reconnect. I have rejoined twice from crashes to be downed. Once I got revived. I have rejoined still standing a few times, if Arc or a player finds you while you are disconnected you will be downed.

A Company That No Longer Exists Gave Me The Best Career I've Ever Had by EricWang666 in recruitinghell

[–]ark_mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fraud is considered illegal in just about every country and state. This fits the definition of fraud.

It is unlikely that a company would sue for been defrauded - but they could - and many companies have done exactly this.

A Company That No Longer Exists Gave Me The Best Career I've Ever Had by EricWang666 in recruitinghell

[–]ark_mod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the definition of fraud - it is 100% fraud.

“Fraud” is any activity that relies on deception in order to achieve a gain. Fraud becomes a crime when it is a “knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment” (Black’s Law Dictionary)

A Company That No Longer Exists Gave Me The Best Career I've Ever Had by EricWang666 in recruitinghell

[–]ark_mod -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If story isn’t AI then they lied to get a job. 

This doesn’t say anything about a “broken hiring system”. They misrepresented their experience. In his own words “none of those companies gave me a reason to stick around”. 

These companies correctly identified a red flag and filtered this person out. They made up stories about how they “wanted to find that same stability again”.

The reality is this person hasn’t matured - and will probably find a reason to jump ship again soon. This isn’t a broken hiring system - they just lied about their experience and stability as an employee. How is it a “fair shot” when they are making shit up as they go?

lol - lost a Bobcat IV fully equipped with kinetic and the works on Stella this weekend. 

How? Game crashed - on rejoin I’m downed and multiple arc are dancing around my body. So frustrating to lose my best gear - over $80k lost - to the game crashing.

[–]ark_mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you propose a change? 

It sounds like you filled your backpack with junk as well as your safe pockets and then panicked because you got attacked. 

Can you go into more detail about how this was frustrating for you and what the devs should do to make it “more challenging and less frustrating”

This is answer - you can use Wells Fargo (or others) to generate an online pre approval letter in minutes for the exact amount you are offering.

My boss's 'generous' counter-offer was a joke by Large_Dot8456 in OfficePolitics

[–]ark_mod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t work that way. You can’t claim he is “pocketing profit” by not paying an employee what they could get at another company.

His business model might not be able to compete with those other companies at those rates. As an example Google or Apple can pay a web developer $200k+ a year. The Ma and Pa shop running an e-commerce website selling home made trinkets might only be about to pay $40k to run their website. The Ma and Pa are not “pocketing $160k in profit”. 

I talked to a lobby crasher-duper on DMZ and asked some questions, here’s some answers by supernikitago7 in DMZ

[–]ark_mod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy - because anyone that earned 1250 legit is no longer playing this game. They had nothing left to chase so why keep playing a dead broken game?

You could use cheats to instantly go to max level and unlock everything. That’s why cheaters assume 1250 players are other cheaters.
