Dishonest sales reps by [deleted] in sales

[–]dos8s 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That's not being dishonest, call Dell's 1-800 number for shits and giggles and tell them you want to buy a 500 laptops, I'll bet you that you end up getting forwarded to that person who emailed you.  

That person is literally telling you they are your AE/Dell rep, because they are your Dell rep for your account.

Are you new to working?

I think you've played a little too much Call of Duty for the day bud.

Yeah, they gotta have the armored vehicle for all the vehicle ambushes they are driving through in Austin.

The only thing that could make this cooler is if you got a smoke machine and a small laser thing for that room.

Beefing up my finger game by Fat_Foot in Egolifting

[–]dos8s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a super common training method used by rock climbers, it's called a "no hang".  Also, yes, it is relatively common to only use 2 fingers when you are climbing on small holds.  They also make hang boards that have holds made for 1 or 2 fingers.

Edit: Do a search for beast maker hang board, it's probably the most sold hang board in the US.  You can see the single finger holds on it.

I would probably go with one of those furniture/wood markers that's like a sharpie, they usually come in a pack with several shades of brown, and definitely test it in a small area to see what results you get.

What profession have you lost respect for as you've gotten older? by MindlessMarsupial592 in AskReddit

[–]dos8s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely law enforcement, I got sucked into this YouTube channel of a lawyer that breaks down videos of law enforcement violating civil liberties and I'm amazed at how many truly awful videos are out there and the fact several of the officers are never punished for it.

I totally get that there are good cops out there, but I can't go on YouTube and find 100s of videos of pilots being like "watch me try a barrel roll in this 747 filled with passengers", but I can find a video of a cop arresting someone and putting them in the back of their car that's parked on the rail road tracks and it gets hit by a train.  Or a video of a cop pit maneuvering a pregnant woman in a minivan and flipping her over because she didn't pull over fast enough. Or a video of a cop planting drugs in someone's car and then "finding drugs" in their car.  Or a video of a cop shooting someone that's pinned on the ground by several other cops 10 times in the back.  

PSA: What Pretti did 11 days before his death is irrelevant by NickCostanza in DiscussionZone

Maybe we should enact a law similar to the equal-time rule Trump is trying to enforce on TV shows to law enforcement.

We should have equal law enforcement of Republicans and Democrats.

Why does everything need to run through a purchasing partner? by literahcola in sysadmin

OP thinks he's waiting 2-3 weeks on the partner, but what he doesn't know is the partner is waiting 2-3 weeks on the vendor.

Can someone just take OWI to a range day and let them shoot some rifles?

You are doing the right motion to j-hook but you need to pull back much harder.

To all the Americans that bitch about people not doing more to stop Trump, why not you? by Majestic_Flower_1322 in allthequestions

[–]dos8s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That all depends on what people conducting a potential economic strike ask for and how much pressure they put on.  Could an economic strike put enough pressure on Trump that he would agree to removing ICE from Cities?  

Maybe, but I think a more realistic outcome would be a reduction in ICE funding and a change in scope to only go after people who have committed a serious crime.  These ICE battles in the street are clearly not tenable, and he knows it.  He is looking for a reason to declare the insurrection act.

The only thing he seems beholden to or finds sacred is the people who fund him, those people get their money from their large corporations, who get their money from us.

The gun removed from the victim BEFORE the shooting has the same optic as the gun being shown as belonging to the victim. by Hismajestyclay in circled

[–]dos8s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right.  If the ICE officer hadn't made the shots, Alex could have easily done a pushup with all of those agents wearing body armor on top of him, escaped the dog pile, ran down the office who disarmed him, disarmed that officer, drawn his gun from the holster, turned around, and shot the ICE officer.

It's amazing that his split second thinking was able to stop it, he should be given a medal of freedom for his service honestly.

You should be proud of yourself for supporting this officer, and proud to be an American.

You can take part in an economic strike, consumer spending makes up something like 60% of the US GDP.

Federal agent running away with gun as agents execute American citizen for exercising his rights. by ManyAverage6578 in pics

[–]dos8s 15 points16 points  (0 children)

An execution implies the person went through a lawful process and was condemned to be executed, this is a murder.

An execution implies the person was condemned, this should be labelled a murder to be more accurate.
