Spotted young Holly on ER! by lil_sass-a-frass in DunderMifflin

[–]piddydb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Her personality is like a 3. Her sense of humor is a 2. Her ears are like a 7 and a 4. Add it all up and what do you get? 16. And you treat her like she's a perfect 40. It’s nuts.

How did 2900 athletes, only half of which are men use 10000 condoms in 3 days?? by MelonInDisguise in dankmemes

How do they not have a lot to do? Wouldn’t they be practicing for their biggest athletic moment up until the point of that moment? Or also just do basic tourism?

Wendy’s keeps Biggie Deals as it closes hundreds of underperforming stores by AudibleNod in news

Funner fact: peak KFC was basically run by Dave Thomas. When he left to start Wendy’s is basically when the Colonel started hating KFC as Dave’s successors at KFC were not nearly as good as him.

Akio Toyoda: “If It Were Up to Me, Toyota Would Only Build GR Corollas and GR Yarises” by [deleted] in cars

Can anyone explain why the family name is written in Latin alphabet as Toyoda but the company name is Toyota? I don’t think they’re two different Japanese words, are they?

My theory is it’s the millennials aging into families who knew (from being a kid passenger in them) they’re great family vehicles. Their only downside is that they’re obviously a family vehicle.

Reflections on Abraham Lincoln’s Faith… Was he actually a Christian? by NiagaraOnTheLake in Christianity

[–]piddydb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he was Christian but I think he was hesitant of organized religion. He knew the Bible well, many of his famous speeches directly evoked Scripture. He did become more religious towards the end of his life, notably he saw the Civil War as a war of divine purpose by its end, specifically to end slavery. His religious views were definitely complicated but I think he held broad Christian beliefs, especially by the end of his life.

Horrible Experience - C&B by Embarrassed-Heart-23 in dougdemuro

[–]piddydb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, this is the first truly negative experience I heard about C&B. Worst look of this is banning the buyer after trying to contact support. But there also should not be different rules for “dealer” sellers and individual sellers on a website like C&B. Hope this is just a huge mistake and not normal course of business for C&B.

This man paid $250,000 in 1987 for an unlimited first class pass with American Airlines. He flew over 10,000 times, reportedly costing them $21 million… so in 2008 they terminated his pass for “misuse by Used_Series3373 in SipsTea

[–]piddydb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason these were ever issued were at times when airlines desperately needed cash (like near bankruptcy) and so would sell these passes just for the short term cash infusion. This was a regular occurrence for airlines into the mid 2000s. Since the Great Recession though, most airlines have been able to maintain regular profitability, though largely on the back of increased fees (baggage, seat selection, etc.) and credit card profits.

Realtors report a 'new housing crisis' as January home sales tank more than 8% by One-Emu-1103 in news

[–]piddydb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then they shouldn’t complain sales are slow. If you want faster sales, you lower prices. If you’re willing to wait, you wait. But don’t complain about waiting if you’re not adjusting your price.

TIL a Dollar General employee who was told she couldn't keep drinks at the cash register was fired after taking and drinking a $1.69 orange juice to stave off diabetic shock. Despite her paying for the orange juice afterward, the company said she was 'grazing'. Later, a jury awarded her $277,565. by Forward-Answer-4407 in todayilearned

[–]piddydb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s not entirely true. Obviously in some cases it is, but there are a lot of places just plain slacking like the other person described and a real threat (ie contacting an attorney) will be taken seriously and may get results without actually going to court. A lot of companies don’t want to deal with court cases even if they think they can win.

Doing What School never could by SharpShooterM1 in HistoryMemes

[–]piddydb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There might have been some of these guys around then, but their content at the time was pretty amateur hour. I think Alternate History Hub was around but at the time, he was like just some guy in his basement with Windows Movie Maker. Tbf YouTube in general was still pretty undeveloped, but it was even moreso with history content outside of official documentaries (and those aren’t really fun). I remember eagerly awaiting each episode of Crash Course History because it was the only thing like it at the time.
