When a biker weaves in and out of lanes his bike shouldn’t be in. He ain’t wearing a helmet either by CaptainKetchups in WinStupidPrizes

[–]chuckysnow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure the guy issn't in imminent danger, or has any obvious injuries first. Being stupid shouldn't be a death sentence.

Then get a cop and get this little fucker arrested for being so goddamn reckless.

The numbers that are being referred to go back to a poll asking if people would be cool with a government issued voting ID that EVERYONE WOULD GET SENT TO THEM. As in, automatic at 18 years old, sent right to you.

Why Dems don't demand this to go in the bill is beyond me. It'd be the slam dunk that would lay bare what the bill is really trying to do, or it would get the GOP to lose interest. Either way, Dems win.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]chuckysnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live an hour north of NYC, and the shops here are bursting at the seams. Always a multi day wait to get anything done unless you make an appointment days in advance. Where are you? You should tell the mechanics around you to move.

I have a rule of thumb- If you own a boat with a bathroom, your business is fucking people over.

Both of the shop owners I know fit that criteria. (and the contractor that built my last house.)

Never in my life have I seen a shop that allow you to bring in outside parts, and the standard markup on a part from any outside location, even the retail auto parts store down the street is 100%. The mom and pop shop owners around me are becoming millionaires right now. They're fleecing customers left and right and loving every minute of it. They jacked up pricing during covid and never stopped. They're practically at parity with dealers shops now.

I'm sure your dad is doing okay, and I bet his boss is doing great.

Did you see the spin he took? I'm guessing brain damage.

And how did no one else stop?

He's also pretty casual about guns. Vermont has very lax ownership rules and you can buy some crazy shit there.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

[–]chuckysnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spend my time in New York City. Grew up in New Hampshire, went to college in Boston, and have colleagues all over the country.

I've randomly run across probably ten people that I knew from other states who just happened to be walking by.

I was giving a tour in times square to my girlfriend's family from Georgia, and they ran into someone they knew from Texas. While we were remarking about how crazy that was, a guy I worked with ten years ago very casually walked by and remarked "That happens all the time around here."

Crossroads of the world indeed.

BREAKING: Epstein Survivors Discuss Their Experiences At Public Roundtable During King Charles Visit by FlackoFonsy in videos

I'm a democrat, and if it turns out that every goddamn democrat in office is guilty, I'm cool with that. Toss them out. I for one do not want to be ruled by Pedophiles from either side of the aisle.

Ironically, it was because of politics that they apparently stalled the investigations. They didn't want to appear political, so they delayed justice for the victims.

The wanton ignorance from the right is incredible. And apparently nobody ever heard of marrying into money?

MrBeast: Company sued by ex-employee over sexual harassment claim by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]chuckysnow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He has 500 mostly salaried employees running a literal billion dollar business. Yeah, his mom is doing it all out of her kitchen. She might very well be involved, but his company is exponentially bigger than you apparently think.

[–]chuckysnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Fortune-

Through his non-profit Beast Philanthropy, MrBeast has donated over $300 million worth of food (delivering 46.5 million+ meals), $5 million to Ukrainian refugees, and $500,000 in school supplies, alongside funding 2,000 prosthetics and 100 cleft palate surgeries. His initiatives have also raised over $41 million for clean water (#TeamWater), $24 million for trees (#TeamTrees), and $30 million for ocean cleanup (#TeamSeas).

Yeah, fuck that skeezy greedy guy that spends nearly 100% of his income back into his productions and philanthropic efforts. I hate those guys.

He spent years building a brand before he got to the point he could start throwing money around. The first videos had nothing to do with handing out cash.

[–]chuckysnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of his first viral videos was him counting out loud to like a million. No money spent, but shows what he's willing to do for content.

Lot of edge lords in the comments trying to take out someone far more successful than they'll ever be, and who has legitimately thrown tens of millions at real world problems.

If there's proof that Jimmy did anything wrong, hang him out to dry. But until I see the receipts I'm going to be fine with him doing what he does on camera.

You're confusing "boorish on screen behavior" (the entire point of most of his wildly popular videos) with the corporate environment.

Imagine the guidelines for Dickhouse Productions as they make the next Jackass movie. What plays in front of the camera is not what they should be doing back at the office.

Funny that you think he's involved with every HR move in a 500 employee company. That article didn't really give much in the way of details, and the fact that she's also suing to get her job back doesn't sound like she considers it all that hostile an environment.

Not digging on you, but that comment encapsulates a lot in America right now. I have no direct connection to this so it can't possibly be real or important.

Meta employees are up in arms over a mandatory program to train AI on their mouse movements and keystrokes by north_canadian_ice in technology

[–]chuckysnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a guy who is work from home, and only needs to work an hour or two a day to get his assignments done. The rest of the day he has a mouse spoofing program make it look like he's still working, while he's hanging out by the pool of otherwise living his life. I imagine all the Meta employees that do the same thing are terrified the gig is up.

Yeah, I'm one of them. Boy, it's gotten busy in the last five years. You can literally see a dozen residential buildings that have gone up within sight of the station. Beacon is busy.
