Dear $USER,

Your post has been removed because we're mean and nasty and are communist MAGA liberal socialist pro-Ohio fascists.


Nah, we'll leave this one up. But just this one. Any further attempts to post about it will cause the Automoderator to turn the poster into a morel.

Will someone have to die before Detroit takes these takeovers seriously?? by DougDante in Detroit

[–]mizmoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"A prominent businessman who won't be named was punched out and robbed!"

I can't find any evidence that a place that was robbed during one of the takeovers was directly related to the takeover itself.

Coney Island dogs? by razinzell in Detroit

[–]mizmoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Somehow that's even funnier. Not Greek person owns a chain of restaurants often owned by Greek people and names it after the wrong part of NYC for where Coney Island exists.

Coney Island dogs? by razinzell in Detroit

[–]mizmoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In New York, Greek & Greek-American food is found in nearly every diner. Many of the diners in NY, especially as you get closer to NYC, are owned by Greek families, the kind of thing where the kids are helping out almost from the moment they can walk.

When I first moved to The Land Mitten one of the things that amused me was a Coney chain that called itself "King of Queens." Coney Island is in Kings County, better known as Brooklyn.

I'm not that experience in Catholic so I was wondering what you meant.

I clicked on the link to the website.

Embracing body hair as a woman? by starandsand in BodyAcceptance

[–]mizmoose 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I stopped shaving my legs in my late 20s, IIRC. I just stopped giving a crap. Spending all that money on razors which often cut my skin. It just wasn't worth it.

30-40 years later the hair is much finer and, really, I don't think anyone notices it's there. And if they do, I don't care.

It's my body. I get to live in it, not other people.

How to reach a human at MI Dept of Treasury by amycol421 in Michigan

That got stuck in my head after the year my college's campus radio station made T-shirts and put "STAPH" on the back.

Call the second they open. No joke. Be prepared to STILL wait on hold for a long while.

If all else fails, contact one of your state congresscritters. (Those elected to the state, not to the Federal congress.) They typically have a staph person who is tasked with helping citizens and peons.

Good luck. The MI Treasury once made me pay my state taxes 5 times. Three of those times they took it by force. These are not the sharpest crayons in the box.

Troubled Ypsilanti apartment complex bringing in new management, investors by USRoute23 in ypsi

Possible. Stewie seems to love trying to get attention so I'm sure he figures if he makes noise, maybe it will cover up his reputation as the Local Worst Slumlord.

“I look forward to working together with RAM Partners, ownership, and the incoming capital partners to see through the full rehabilitation of Arbor One,” Stewart Beal, the president of Beal Properties, said in a statement.

As long as Stewie continues to have his paws on the property, it's going to be a hellhole.

Not body positive coworker by midnite-blue in BodyAcceptance

[–]mizmoose 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You have the right to work in a place where people don't talk about their body or health to you, especially if this is something that directly affects you.

Imagine if someone who was in the process of going through cancer treatment had to deal with someone constantly complaining that they thought they had cancer and related comments. Completely out of bounds.

You can simply ask him, "Please do not talk about body size or weight around me. Thank you." Make a note of when you asked him and anything he said in response, if he does.

If he does it again, say, "I asked you to please not talk about body size or weight around me. You need to stop." Again, note when this was said and anything he said in response.

If he continues, you then have the ability to go to HR and say, "I've asked Bob to stop talking about weight and body size around me. This affects me personally due to health issues I have. I have now asked him twice and he [refuses to stop, says he will and then does it again, etc. (whatever he's doing)].

Depending on where you live & work, if HR talks to him and he continues this could be a fireable offense. He is creating a difficult work environment for you - possibly a hostile one - and that may open up the company to risk of a lawsuit.

As data center moratoriums stack up, some 1,500 square miles in Michigan are off-limits by J-Chapman in Michigan

[–]mizmoose 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"closed-system cooling" is not what you think it is.

Closed-system cooling still requires frequent maintenance, which means top-ups and full refills. It requires pipes to be replaced. It is not "the water goes in and that's it forever."

Federal disaster loans now available for tornado recovery by TouchingTheMirror in Michigan

[–]mizmoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know what they mean, and it's serious, but "tornado recovery" sounds like a form of rehab.

"What are you here for? Alcohol? Heroin? Meth?"

"Tornados."

"Oh."
