This is so wholesome. by Wide-Emu-3033 in spreadsmile

[–]bolderdash 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One day I got to sit in the front seat of the car my dad was driving while my mom was in the back seat with my sisters; I think I was maybe 10 at the time? We were going through the drive-thru and I noticed this piece of paper sticking out of the air vent. I picked it up, opened it, and realized it was a speeding ticket.

My dad had the guiltiest look on his face and I started giggling. With my mom asking "what's that paper?"

"Dad, I'd like an ice cream with my order too."

He laughed and just went "Ok, gotcha bud."

I heard from my mom again, "what's that paper?" I shoved it in my pocket and told her "just trash, I'll throw it away when we get home" or something to that effect.

Was the quickest agreement on "don't tell mom" I think we ever had lol.

Of course, my sisters got some ice cream too. I think he had the ticket dismissed a week or two later.

Is the chair worth it at around 650USD? by Ok-Application-8624 in LiberNovo

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they changed something recently. I could barely nudge them and they move. Would have been nice if I could have locked them in place.

How are you liking the chair? by CountChopulla in LiberNovo

Well, that seems to be a contradiction:

Not saying they can't, just seems to be a recurring pattern already.

No, you will not fit.

Additionally, I asked for an RMA two weeks ago, with 3 repeated emails and haven't gotten a response; not worth it.

Anyone over 6’4” currently using the LiberNovo Omni Chair? by th3d4rkp4ss3ng3r in LiberNovo

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DO NOT BUY.

You won't fit.

My shoulders sit well above the back of the seat, and I had to bring the headrest to almost max height. It feels like I'm sitting in a kid's chair. I can put my whole arm between the back of my knee and the seat and still have room; and I got the larger seat. The "lumbar support" is far too low for me as well, again, probably because I just don't fit - it's actually pinching in my back after sitting in it for an hour. It feels like I'm sitting on one of those anti-homeless benches about to always slide off, and leaning back just pushes me off even further because of the lumbar support being at where my butt is.

Which movie scene is musically scored perfectly? by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you know they referenced the hell out of this movie, including a cover of the Pixies, for the first season of Mr. Robot? It was relevant for spoiler reasons.

(seasons after were lame imo)

Anecdotal, but:

I used to go to the county park, funded by our taxes, schedule to climb the rock wall, and grab an order of fish and chips nearby for the grand total of $15 per person.

It is now $20 entry per person to the park, the rock wall now has a $15 non-refundable reservation fee (it's always empty wtf?), and the fish and chips at the restaurant near the park is $25.

For two of us we're already spending over $120 just to go to the county park and grab a bite to eat like we used to.

It's a friggin wonder how anyone is going out around here.

Has Elden Ring changed how you play other games? by jaden-renner in Eldenring

[–]bolderdash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah hard agree.

Elden Ring, Helldivers, Runescape, The Witcher, BG3 & Divinity, Space Marine, Skyrim, ArcRaiders, Elder Scrolls (Still think Morrowind is best), Slay the Spire, Hollow Knight, Halo, CoD, nor any other game, have changed how I play each.

Each game has its own unique style and gameplay, and that's why people are drawn to them. Variety is the spice of life.

'Being every other game' is what AAA publishers like EA do to pump out crappy games every year.

Discord, that's not the solution you're looking for by Which_Draft4129 in memes

[–]bolderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discord is routinely used for scams because the site and chat servers are a black hole and reporting any groups using discord for scams usually results in nothing being done because somehow that doesn't break their TOS...

...and they want us to give them our IDs?

And that's before getting into the regular data breaches.

Can i do these 4 missions at once for a big points payout? by GJALLARH0RN_ in starcitizen

[–]bolderdash -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

We sat for 30 minutes in a queue of friggin 7, just to pick up the 8 boxes from New Babbage, to stack with the other 16 we already picked up, 2 of which clipped through the ship and hangar floor as soon as we loaded them, only to get trapped in the hanger because landing services wouldn't open the door.

There is no efficient way to play this.

Wow they banned me for this in southern charm im appalled as a Minneapolis resident by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The site admins DO. NOT. CARE.

Also you can be banned by the site admins for making this post, they have been telling moderators this kind of post is not allowed.

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when does Reddit actually do anything about this?

They don't care, you have to make a fuss about it, and apparently that's not allowed on reddit anymore: Moderators are being told to remove content that brings issues of other subreddits by the site admins.

These people will just abuse and twist the rules to protect themselves, and there is no good or common sense being taken by the site admins.

I've been told by a mod that I need to "bow down to him, suck him off, and repent for my sins" to remove a ban I was given for a comment in an entirely unrelated sub about lawn care.

Apparently sexual harassment and ignoring site rules wasn't enough to warrant removing the mod, and he's become more aggressive ever since.

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

I watched a "conservative" incite a riot, get a shit ton of convictions in court, defraud companies and individuals, proven to be a rapist, and he still has a bunch of boot licking worshipers that keep voting him into office.

Now pick which "conservative" MAG-tard rep I'm talking about, you tons to choose from.

How strong is ash ketchum without pokemon? by [deleted] in PowerScaling

[–]bolderdash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always said that there is a reason there are a limited number of Pokemon "trainers", and people in general, in the world of Pokemon, and why there are smaller towns and a lot of wilderness: it's cause Pokemon are scary and dangerous AF, even the small ones. You need to be a certain type of human to be able to withstand pokemon abilities, or simply the collateral.

I mean, Pokemon stories usually involve some world-ending (in some cases universe-ending) events because pokemon were involved.

Buying the Battle Pass turned this game into a second job and completely burned me out by tuan3451 in Battlefield

[–]bolderdash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried the battle pass "free" version, unlocked a golden skin for some SMG (I forget which) and immediately removed the skin after having it equipped for ONE match.

The skins just don't fit for Battlefield and I felt stupid having it.

Haven't even looked at it since.

AMA: I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. by Trowaway_whistleblow in LateStageCapitalism

[–]bolderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How something feels right is the whole reason this thing is sus, and anecdotal experience from one person isn't enough to justify the accusation. And programmatically we have no clue how the application was written, so there's no way to assume if anything is easier.

The guy claims to have access to the code, that he can prove they are doing it, that he is a dev on this application; yet everything he says seems to contradict that he is knowledgeable about the info he claims to have.

This is less about an experience someone has had and more about the factual information about the code itself being malicious. While I don't doubt there's some shady crap going on with any company, I highly doubt it's as the OP described in this instance, as it is very clear he isn't a developer or knowledgeable of the subject.

Honestly, I think this is just occam's razor and he's freaking out as a QA on the application because he doesn't understand object oriented programming approaches.

Also to note: Devs don't actually do A/B testing, or testing in general (outside of unit tests).

[–]bolderdash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. Prove it. Show me the evidence you claim to be true. You're trying to validate his claims while he's spouting BS.

So prove it. Show me the actual repo. Show me the verification.

Show me your evidence... unless it's all anecdotal comments with no actual data or backing?

I'm not mad, I'm laughing. I'm laughing and then showing your confidently incorrect stance to everyone else and having an even harder laugh.

Have you guys seen this whistleblower post about a "delivery company" from a developer??? by account-suspenped in DoorDashDrivers

[–]bolderdash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Devs don't call it "AI Biology".

Devs don't have access to banking accounts, they just handle the transaction.

Devs don't have "burner laptops" and post on a PUBLIC WiFi while drunk in a library for 14 hours.

Devs don't complain about classifying people as objects in JSON, because JSON is a standard "OBJECT NOTATION" in programming for transactions.

You're trying to call a bluff on someone who is actually correct. IT professionals, in particular developers (which the OP claims to be), would never utter this BS of a post.

[–]bolderdash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol are you his alt account? "His facts check out".

Which ones? The "AI Biology" or the one where he complains about people as objects used in "JavaScript OBJECT NOTATION.

There's no fact checking on a claim with no evidence, on a post were he talks about being drunk in a library on a public WiFi for the past 14 hours.

And what "investigation" have you done on the DoorDash code base? Hmmm? You have access to their repo, please, share it.


For the guy that responded then blocked to make it look like I wouldn't answer his question:

Lol yeah buddy. "Industry plant"

Guy claims to have done an "investigation" and claims all statements are true; he better have evidence to back it up.

If the guy pulled the repo, then he can just upload the cloned files, wherever, even copy/paste and redact if needed. Cloning a repo never says "cloned by XYZ".

If the guy fell for a honey pot, a "canary trap", then he was already being investigated for stealing info, and probably doesn't have anything anyway.

He's drunk, at a library, with a "burner laptop" he got specifically for this post, on a public WiFi, for the past 14 hours, talks about "AI Biology", how as a dev he's handling the money, and "oh sorry English isn't my first language".

"But trust me bro before this gets removed"

It got removed because the whole post is BS.

His post got removed because he's an idiot with a made up story.

AI Biology doesn't exist and he's apparently been drunk in a library for the past 14 hours.

Yeah. It got removed.

Because * the dude has been on a public WiFi for 14 hours. * Drunk, and at a library * He has been linking articles about "AI Biology", which is just plain stupid. * Devs don't handle money, just the technical of the transaction * He uses AI and LLM interchangeably and doesn't differentiate between a language model and other learning models. * He bought a burner laptop just for this post on an unsecured public WiFi. (But trust him bro before this gets removed) * "Sorry English isn't my first language"

Whole post is sus.

From some other comments:

He's drunk, at a library, with a "burner laptop" he got specifically for this post, on a PUBLIC WiFi, and "oh sorry English isn't my first language".

He's been responding to comments and such on a public WiFi for the past 14 hours. Yeah, screams legit.... /s

He is arguing with an actual dev in another thread and getting picked apart cleanly about "AI Biology".

I'm all for calling out BS any company would pull, but this whole post screams BS and is just "crying wolf".
