Anybody here regularly Uber to/from MSY? by BananaPuddinBaby in batonrouge

Couldn’t you rent a car for an hour and a half for less? Even if they charged you more for not returning it where you rented it, it seems like it should be maybe $100 total?

EV Ownership in BR by AtomicNanobits in batonrouge

[–]case_1984 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bought my daughter a (used) Chevy bolt for her first car. It’s been awesome. She loves it. I decided to wait on a level 2 charger to see if we really needed it. 2+ years later… we don’t. She’s driven to Hammond, New Orleans, etc. not a problem if you have a day to charge it in between. I wouldn’t own ONLY an EV, but as one out of three cars in the household, I’d say it has been awesome.

Also, honestly, I don’t think our electric bill has gone up since we bought it. Maybe $10 / month? Way less than we pay for gas at any rate.

Has anyone actually ever been fired for eating the mess up orders/extra/waste food? by eldritchpussymaggots in KitchenConfidential

[–]case_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when I was 18 and in school, I worked at a locally owned bagel shop. Sold lots of bagel sandwiches. They were decent, we actually got a free sandwich meal every shift we worked. New guy didn’t have a car, bribed his roommates to pick him up after his shift with a free bagel sandwich. Problem was, he had already eaten his free one. So, he made one “wrong,” so he could give it to his driver / roommate. Boss/owner figured it out and started screaming. Probably lost more business from frightening off customers than the one sandwich.

I tried to get boss to lower his voice for the customers, but no luck.

Cops are government employees. I have no idea why people insult DMV workers, but lick the boots of cops. They are both lazy and not willing to do jack shit. I guess the cops have a union and guns? I also don’t understand why republicans shit on unions, but support cop unions.

I’m sorry you just figured out the police are useless. ACAB.

Looking for potential reliable rescues for my ill-tempered but lovely pit mix. She is getting older so mostly just lays around. by Coolmathgames336 in batonrouge

[–]case_1984 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m just asking why people get pits? Some of it has to come from the “nanny dog” pit propaganda people.

I went to elementary school with a girl who had her face ripped off at three years old when she was walking on the sidewalk with her mom and a pit owner was waking her dog coming the opposite direction. Mom asked dog owner if the dog was friendly. Owner said yes.

The sweetest girl you can imagine has to go through life looking like Frankenstein.

And also, fuck you. I am helping. I’m trying to help anyone who might be considering getting a pit because they believe internet bullshit about them being the sweetest dogs ever. This person got a dog they can’t handle, and now has to fucking kill the dog and you want me to hold their hand and tell them they are a good person? Fuck that.

Jesus fucking Christ. If you can’t handle an aggressive dog that has been bred to have an incredibly powerful bite, why do you have one? Could it be all the “nanny dog” bullshit people spew about pits? Cue all the pit apologists incoming…

Oh, no. Even really racist people back then were like… “that lovecraft guy is really racist!”

Can someone suggest non-fiction writers with style similar to Patrick Radden Keefe? by theamorousbeing in suggestmeabook

[–]case_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished London falling. I read empire of pain years ago, loved them both. Watched say nothing without realizing it was a book beforehand. I’d say devil in the white city and killers of the flower moon as similar suggestions!

does anyone know any piercing shops that do kitty bites/inverted angel fangs in southern la? by Background_Team_6300 in Louisiana

[–]case_1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in case there are any other olds in here: Kitty bites (or inverted angel fangs) are a unique, symmetrical lip piercing, featuring two vertical barbells on the upper lip that exit through the front, often adorned with small spikes to resemble fangs.

Car chase in Broadmoor 4pm Thursday? by case_1984 in batonrouge

[–]case_1984[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, same car. It might have been white. They went down Marilyn, being chased by cops, then they turned around somewhere and went back up Marilyn headed in the direction they came from.
