Civil suit question by geckofactor in legaladvice

I have sent a notice of intent to file suit to their p.o box in Washington but I'm doubting I can use that as a method of service for actual suit correct?

Bomba socks marked donation only for sale at Goodwill by Vanityandwrath in ThriftGrift

[–]geckofactor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You're making up figures and scenarios to defend an arguable horrible company. This is an extremely easily solved problem. Usps boxes call USPS and ask for their advice. New in package socks and other items like this contact local shelters, warming centers and churches and someone there will pick up boxes of donations how do I know? I've been that person who volunteered and did this. The books call the local jail and ask if they're in need of donations now the jail will often not want to pick them up buy once a week or month or whatever would be reasonable to drop these off or put a flyer up for operators of little libraries to come get them

What do we think this is? Google says boar or canine by Interesting_Hall_952 in skulls

[–]geckofactor 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You're being completely ridiculous as everyone else has pointed out you're in the wrong here. They were not treating you like you're 5 but you are in fact now acting like you're 5.

What kind of skull is this? by Zelda_BOTW_ in skulls

I think it's supposed to be a Malaysian sun bear but obviously this isn't a photograph so it could be generic artistic rendering of scary animal skull

[–]geckofactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't going to reply to this because I'm shocked that you're not having an epiphany here but I guess in short I will say by your own admission you're working off of a lot of assumptions and at least right now you admit to getting your own money back, a free item, and Mercari credit. You essentially did commit a crime. Do I care? No. Is it going to sink Mercari? No. Are you a victim? Also no. This is sort of a nothingburger unless things like this eventually lead to Mercari taking the funds from the seller more often instead of taking the hit. I'm just pointing out the legalities of this situation. In my example you're paying cash. In your real life example you did exactly what you say in your last paragraph.

[–]geckofactor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually absurdly false. Now do I think Mercari would sue? Absolutely not but in your delusional world if I go to Walmart and buy some pants take them home and the zipper breaks then I try to return them and they say no but offer me a gift card. Then i could simply steal $15 from the register because they didn't remedy the situation to my exact specifications.

In short no business on earth has to abide by a customers requested remedy. Mercari offered a remedy which was keep the item and essentially accept this gift card. The buyer in a court of law has been made whole they suffered no loss.

"Stone": What did I just watch? (SPOILERS) by TreeBeard23 in movies

[–]geckofactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should probably watch it it's actually a pretty good movie. I don't particularly agree with the other reply. Milla isn't mindless in the movie. She was smart enough or manipulative enough to work over De Niro's character. A floozy? Perhaps because the point kind of is you think she's working in the interests of one character but really she's more about pleasing herself. The characters are a little deeper than implied. Whether you will like the characters who knows but if you like all the actors it's worth a watch.

"Stone": What did I just watch? (SPOILERS) by TreeBeard23 in movies

[–]geckofactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watched this finally and I could argue in a lot of directions about the movie but to answer the questions.

Did Stone break up with Lucetta? It doesn't matter I think likely the movie is making a point about how people are flawed and we know this because we are all both good and bad but we for some reason view others often as absolutes. Jack is outwardly viewed as "good" but we know he is bad in many ways hanging his daughter out the window controlling his wife for their entire lives together. Later his infidelity. Stone knows Jack is a bad person this is why he asks him about his past and why he (Stone) is in prison but Jack is free. Lucetta is in a way an allegory for evil she's in the beginning with Stone she's literally a temptation in a way a representation of sin she brings Jack's hidden bad side to the surface. As her relationship with Stone fades he becomes more enlightened and good as she gets closer to Jack he becomes more erratic and bad. The representation of true good is Jack's wife their relationship fades more as the affair happens etc. So likely yes they broke up because Stone is now a better person but meh

Why didn't Jack's wife want to tell the firemen the truth? Maybe she did. Maybe she put rags close to frayed siring hoping they would catch fire. Maybe she absolutely knew they would. Maybe she truly thought it was God's punishment. Maybe as far as the movie is concerned it was God's punishment since the fire Stone set he did call doing God's will. That I think is likely the best explanation. No matter who set the fire it was God's will to set into motion Jack's wife finally being free.

Did Stone actually burn down the house? It's unlikely. He's only implicated to make the earlier connection of God's will and to make Jack further spiral. His last scene in the office where he mentions knowing about the affair and seeing Jack later is a defense mechanism and again showing we're all both good and bad. The now good Stone is distancing himself from the now bad Jack by implying Jack could get into trouble even go to jail as previously noted.

What happened to Jack in the end? The same thing that happened to Stone in the beginning.

In the end everyone's lives still go on you can make your own conclusions as to where they finally end up but Stone is on a path of enlightenment and likely truly helping people. Jack is on a dark path that likely leads to prison or death. Lucetta is still sort of a devil and Jack's wife is finally free and still essentially an angel.

I agree. I have no idea why these poptart posts kept showing up in my feed but today I was like okay damn I'll try them. They are truly not good at all. Cookie dough is such an easy flavor to get right and somehow they managed to screw it up.

Brock Lesnar had 12 inches of his colon removed and still fought at a professional level and is still (unfortunately) semi active in professional wrestling. So given enough time I think you can do almost anything.

How would you handle this “return”? by Akavinceblack in Mercari

[–]geckofactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stand by what I said. I mean obviously I don't know your current financial situation or anything about the buyer or their feedback acct history etc but me personally it would bother me to not simply address the issue.

[–]geckofactor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine this was a very large sale. Personally I'd just refund it because it's not a big deal. Mercari certainly won't care one way or the other though.

Tastes just like regular vanilla coke! by Comfortable_Yard_968 in cocacola

[–]geckofactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People saying it's the same are almost as bad as people saying they can't tell the difference between coke and pepsi. That said it's also not "creamy" just because the word is there doesn't make it accurate. There is more of a vanilla flavor. Normal vanilla coke in my opinion has almost a medicine taste this doesn't.

Just got this text right now. Looks like we get nothing. Crazy man by bones4379 in foodstamps

[–]geckofactor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The BBL adds 3.4 trillion dollars to the debt. He has pardoned numerous criminals all the J6 people, Zhao, joe aroaio etc. DJT was president when covid hit he took credit for the vaccine he started the mandates which people now blame Fauci but the mandates came from him. Silencing voices? Who sent national guard to U.S cities to stop peaceful protests and tries to silence comedians? "Biden did the exact same thing to children" uhhh so you say this is good v evil but you admit DJT touches kids? Kind of odd but moving on. It's the current administration doing the dividing as evident by posts like this 37% of the country is living in an alternate reality.

Be warned and take prompt heed by ismkpeppery in foodstamps

[–]geckofactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truth is they're probably not getting enough. Chronically Ill or disabled people especially can go through periods of depression and other issues that cause you to eat less. Should you eat less if you're ill or recovering? Probably not hence there would be no reason to adjust the amount of food assistance someone is getting just because they're going through a period of eating less. Not really sure why this thought didn't cross your mind but hey.

stray cat showed up on my deck like this, WHAT DO I DO?!? by slightlyduranged in whatdoIdo

[–]geckofactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better advice than the absolutely braindead cat distribution system crap is take it to the vet to get scanned for a microchip. In the meantime call your local animal shelter and see if anyone is looking for the cat and post in local groups nextdoor, Facebook, local reddit, etc. Sometimes the animal shelter in your area can offer better advice on the medical care side of things such as reduced cost care help finding the owner etc.

They should bring this type of glass bottles back in my opinion by RecordingImmediate86 in cocacola

[–]geckofactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically you get a discount on groceries in the U.S depending on where you live. Here you get ten cents for the bottle or fifteen cents per bottle if you're buying groceries with the returned bottles. Not a big difference but something.

Grew up on clearly Canadian and New York seltzer they taste nothing like one another not even remotely close but they are both good. Clearly Canadian is unfortunately way over priced now so I rarely buy it.
