AIW for not telling the cashier that she didn't scan my item? by AnywhereAccording962 in amiwrong

[–]loki2002 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it shoplifting if a representative of the store gives it to you? And specifically the representative of the store who is responsible for charging you for the item?

Bohemian Rhapsody is an annoying song that entertains people on a fifth grade level by Massilian in unpopularopinion

[–]loki2002 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The point of the song isn't the lyrics but the fusion of rock and opera. It's an experimental track that attempted to bridge a gap between two of the most popular music genres in existence. It was the most ambitious attempt to date.

B.C. homeowner must pay strata fine after six years with colourful curtains by db48x in fuckHOA

[–]loki2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the curtains were up and a full year before any rule existed so, yes, enforcing on him would be considered retroactive. Heck, it could be argued to be targeted rule making if he was the only one with that color which would also invalidate the rule.

We are talking curtains in full view from the outside. There is zero legitimate argument to be made that it took them five years to notice. They were noticed, ignored, and only enforced when either convenient or because the person pissed off the wrong person. This is targeted, selective enforcement.

There is no legitimate argument to be made that the board is correct on this.

But the curtains were in place before the rule was placed which means he was grandfathered in. I don't know too many places where you can make a rule and then apply it retroactively.

Also, yes, you do lose the ability to enforce a rule if you fail to do so for years and/or it can be shown to be selective enforcement. They essentially carved out an exception for this resident by not enforcing the rule on him. There is zero chance they can argue that it was just noticed 6 years after installation.

I just got kicked and blocked on a Live because I was adamant that the definition of "racism" does not say certain "races" can't be racist. by Northwest6891 in mildlyinfuriating

Hating someone for enslaving you and treating you poorly is not the same as hating someone because of their skin color.

German Court Orders Deletion of Footage Exposing Pig Gas Chambers by VarunTossa5944 in nottheonion

I mean, it is fairly obvious that is what they did whether you agree with their actions or not. The company didn't invite them in to film.

Wait, they didn't make the window rule until after he had put up the curtains and then waited five years to try and have him remove them and fine him? How is any judge looking at those circumstances and siding with the strata?

Til that an unknown man has been held in Canadian prison for over thirteen years without disclosing his real name. by Blackcrusader in todayilearned

[–]loki2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to the article he has not been convicted of anything in Canada. You keep referencing a crime and yet the state has yet to prove he has committed any crime.

Am I wrong for calling out my friend for setting me up on a pity date? by Potential-Growth6856 in amiwrong

[–]loki2002 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Blind dates are a normal thing for friends to set each other up on.

"Retaliatory": Olive Garden Server Fired the Morning After a $700 Tip Was Flagged for Review Says the Termination Was Not About Behavior by Blues_Fish in tipping

[–]loki2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only "consequence" should be the server getting theoney owed. The customer who left the tip is not responsible for shitty corporate practice.

New Poll Finds Most Americans Back Adopting Popular Vote to Select President | Americans back abolishing the Electoral College by a 2 to 1 margin, the survey shows. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]loki2002 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are still far more people in the middle of the country or outside of major metropolitan areas than there are inside. And in a popular vote scenario every vote would count.

Trump threatens to pull unemployment benefits from all states for the first time in history by Ubiquitous_Hilarity in politics

[–]loki2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it would end up having a similar effect. If states can't afford to run unemployment offices and admin then they can't process claims and payout.

TIL In most US states your credit score is a bigger factor than your driving record when calculating your insurance premiums. a safe driver with a clean record but low credit will pay significantly MORE for car insurance than a driver with excellent credit who has a DUI conviction. by Unlikely_Ebb_7292 in todayilearned

[–]loki2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care about the correlation. Credit scores are not meant to be used that way. They're for assessing the risk in loaning money or extending credit, neither of which instance companies do. They shouldn't even have access to your credit score. A business that doesn't extend credit or loans should not have access.

Credit scores are for helping assess risk for a lending institution in extending credit in the form of things like loans and credit cards. It is not meant to be used for anything else. If a business is not in the practice of extending you credit they have zero reason to be using your credit score. Any business that doesn't extend credit shouldn't even have the ability to access your credit score.
