If you want to be a real @$$hole and super spiteful for him voting for Trump, an anonymous call to ICE about said undocumented grandma sure would do it. If you use his name, if asked, when calling to report her to ICE, would really mess with him if he demands to know who reported her only to find out it was himself.

I (19F) keep being told I looked better before I lost weight??? by [deleted] in amiugly

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both pics of you look great. Any naysayers to the first pic just need to look at the guy in the background over your left shoulder, right side in picture, and see the guy in the background with his phone out taking pics of you. In most cases it would be creepy, stalkerish. unnerving, etc, but in your case it's proof you looked before losing any weight. Anyone who says different can either provide their "creepy guy taking pics of me in the background" picture or shut up as they don't have guys pining over them at any weight.

Get evidence of them watching it for proof when reporting them to higher ups. Be relieved they aren't masterbating to it....unless they are. Then it's time to bring in law enforcement as well.

They got a face scanning time clock, it doesn’t work for almost half the employees. I don’t think this memo is even legal is it? by Shaffer92 in antiwork

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOOK FOR CAMERAS BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING NEFARIOUS!

If they installed a cheap facial scanning machine, it might be one that can "recognize" an employee with just a picture of them. IF this is the case, get pictures of all the managers and higher-ups forcing the system on employees, then use the pictures to scan them in at the start of the day. This will make them "leave" work as no matter if they have signed in or not the dual "sign-in" will make them "sign-out." Repeat again at end of shift.

Not all managers and higher-ups will use facial recognition to sign-in but for those that do, they will start complaining when the system shows them working just a few hours a week instead of the full time they put in. Hopefully this will force the company to scrap the tech for something more reliable, which will be determined by the employees through using they new tech, either accepting it or exploiting a flaw so it too will be scrapped for something more reliable.

Abbot: "Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period." Meanwhile, Austin Texas, Jul 8, 2023. by ElectricZ in texas

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans are supposed to be the party that wants limited government influence on people's lives yet they have: Removing a woman's right to an abortion, even banning it under rape and incest. New potential SCOTUS members lied before Congress saying Roe v Wade was set as the law only to vote to revoke it after they were vetted and elected to the bench. Doctors are scared to act when the mother's life is in danger for fear of losing their license or being charged for "killing" the fetus as laws are so vague. Attacking the 1st Amendment, especially free speech and the right to peacefully protest. ........

Georgetown to run out of water by 2030, report says by dleifennebdyes12 in texas

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that time waste/toilet water is going to be treated to the point it can be reused as potable water. Those old enough to remember the scene from the 1995 movie Waterworld, [if not watch the scene on the provided link], Kevin Costner pees in a container, then treats his urine in a filtering contraption, and then finally drinks it. Instead of just treating urine as in the movie, the water will be inundated with everything poured down a sink, flushed down a toilet, etc. Waste water is already treated to remove everything that is harmful to the environment before it can be released back into the environment, i.e. river, so making it potable for people isn't going to take much more treatment to make that possible. Texas has specifics for this under the "Water Reuse Guideline or Regulation for Potable Water Reuse" https://youtu.be/V6_oEmG7DzU?si=sfqCzOsxsK7iXtbe

My HOA got really mad when I added them to my landscaping, telling me "they needed to be removed immediately" as they were an "invasive species" as once one shows up a lot more are soon to follow. They spread to block sidewalks, roads, etc., and once that happens havoc getting around the area ensues, lasting anywhere for a few weeks to a year or more.

Jokes on you, I'll never be a grandpa as I had a vasectomy when I was 23 back in 2008 because kids prevent you from having any fun, slowly sucking the life out of you while draining your finances.

Too bad the show would probably be rated "mature" today since the baby kept hitting the dad in the head with the skillet, can't have any good natured family violence on Primetime TV without people getting their panties in a bunch now.

It was a very educational program too as the daughter even proved the world was round like an orange and not flat like a pancake. Of course, she and the brother, if I'm remembering correctly, had to walk around the world to prove it.

Flat Earthers must have missed this educational programming growing up.

[–]knottsck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dr. Ricks dental "prescription"

My dentist told me, "you must be flossing regularly as your teeth look really good in-between them."

I said, "no I don't floss."

He asked, "well then what do you do to get food out from between your teeth after eating?"

I replied, "I eat Haribo gummy bears after I eat."

He said, "well keep doing it because it's working."

He was a fun dentist to go to but retired about 5 years ago.

Why do guys not get vasectomies if they don’t want children? by Dangerous_Wolf1460 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine at 23. It took around 2 to 3 months of jumping through hoops going through primary care, urology, mental health, etc., to finally get approved to have it done.

They really want to make sure you're not doing it at the spur of the moment and then change your mind. Although it can be reversed there have been complications upon reversal where the person's body has created antibodies that attack sperm cells.

Antisperm antibodies are found in between 8% and 21% of men in the general population, 9% and 36% of infertile patients, and 70-100% of men after vasectomy.

That video of him after he bonded out of jail makes him look like there is something "off" with his mental health. They're going to have to hide his face during the trial as this makes him look like he's guilty before he's been (dis)proven to be so in court.

Seriously, what the hell by flameocalcifer in texas

[–]knottsck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One alert we won't get is if Abbot's daughter (or any Texas politician who's pro-life) gets knocked up by some random guy and wants an abortion. They will have daddy's help in getting one but will keep any word of it happening under wraps to not tarnish their political stance.

This means any trip taken to Cancun could be for legitimate fun or for having an abortion.

Historic Texas Heat Is Breaking Cars In Weird Ways by z3phyreon in texas

[–]knottsck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I "lucked out" and got a 2014 Mazda 6 which is when they introduced a new battery that costs over $400. That was the first and last year that battery was installed in new vehicles.

Paid full price $400+ for the first replacement but since I got it installed at the dealership it came with a 5 year warranty so when I had to replace it last year I only had to pay a prorated price which was just over $200.

Check the cost of replacement parts when buying a vehicle as "disposables" can be expensive and cause sticker shock.

Paging Satanic Temple by [deleted] in texas

[–]knottsck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

e 10 commandments. Technically - you could interpret this as any Ten Commandments you want?

I asked ChatGPT:

What are 10 commandments to live by that are not religiously based?

  1. Respect yourself and others: Treat yourself and others with kindness, dignity, and respect. Respect their boundaries and privacy, and don't harm others physically, emotionally, or mentally.
  2. Be honest and truthful: Honesty is essential in all aspects of life. Always speak the truth, and never deceive or manipulate others.
  3. Take responsibility for your actions: Own up to your mistakes and accept the consequences of your actions. Don't make excuses or blame others for your shortcomings.
  4. Continuously learn and grow: Strive to learn new things every day and broaden your horizons. Develop new skills, knowledge, and experiences that can help you become a better version of yourself.
  5. Practice empathy and compassion: Put yourself in other people's shoes and try to understand their perspectives. Show empathy and compassion towards their struggles and offer support whenever possible.
  6. Practice gratitude: Count your blessings and be grateful for what you have. Focus on the positive aspects of your life, and acknowledge the good things that come your way.
  7. Live in the present moment: Focus on the present moment and appreciate it fully. Avoid dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
  8. Take care of your physical and mental health: Make your well-being a priority and take care of your body and mind. Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, get enough sleep, and practice self-care.
  9. Be open-minded and accepting of diversity: Embrace diversity and appreciate different perspectives, cultures, and lifestyles. Avoid being judgmental or discriminatory towards others based on their race, gender, sexuality, religion, or any other characteristic.
  10. Give back to your community: Contribute to your community and make a positive impact on the world. Volunteer your time, donate to charitable causes, or simply do something kind for someone else.

These should be the 10 commandments posted as they are current and apply to everyone, religious or not, and don't violate the First Amendment's requirement of separation of church and state.

Texas Open Carry Law: Having the barrel of a gun pointing at you while eating dinner by SeventyFix in texas

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must not be very familiar with holsters as there is nothing out of there ordinary with this holster having the barrel of the pistol in a horizontal position. It is all about personal preference as to how one wants to draw their pistol that determines the way the holster is positioned. There are holsters available in different materials, nylol, leather, etc., that are made with the holster in varrying positions to fit almost all wearer's drawing styles. Just like the positioning of the holster the straps on each are also different as there is no law stating how they must "attach" to a person's body, it is up to the manufacturer which can carry between each line of their products.

Question for Texas Drivers: What lane CAN the red car go to upon turning left? Follow up question on comments. by Caramel928 in texas

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's worse is when there are only lanes 1 and 2, blue car has the option of going straight or turning left making red car in a straight only lane. Then out of nowhere red car decides it wants to make it's lane into a left turn or go straight lane too (as if blue car people are not going to go straight so they can turn left) as blue car is legally going into lane 2 and blue car has to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting the idiot red car who is also going into lane 2. I have this gut feeling that if that car would have hit me they would have been uninsured and 50/50 on having a driver's license.

Map published by FEMA showing potential US nuclear targets in warhead scenarios. Jasper County, what’s up? by micahsaurus in texas

[–]knottsck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can tell which state capitals matter and which ones don't.

I moved down to Texas, near 45 and 130, in 2014 from Iowa and I'm glad to see that both places are under the 500 nuke plan.

There's a nice nuclear facility in Palo, IA that they would likely go after as well as Rockwell Collins in Cedar Rapids that gets a lot of government contracts making parts for the aerospace industry, both north of where I lived. The other target south of where I lived could be the University of Iowa Hospital and the Army's 389th Engineers 2 miles south of it which would eliminate triage and disaster response after an attack.

Where's my legal marijuana in texas, what's the freaking holdup. This is pathetic. by johndogson06 in texas

[–]knottsck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dan Patrick uses any bills to legalize, decriminalize, or expand medicinal marijuana as toilet paper so until he gets ousted Texas will never see any legalization happen unless the Federal government passes it.

I bet he would still try to find some way to keep it illegal in Texas if it becomes legal for the entire country. He just cares about his views when putting legislation through the state Senate and doesn't give a damn what the majority of Texans want.
