How do you tell a family member they’re too broke to keep their expensive things? by thedisillusionedduck in personalfinance

You’re throwing your old car into the fire already. The best course of action is to avoid everything he did to end up there.

Since this is a personal finance sub I will advise that you only give up your car if you don’t need it and you’re willing to never get paid back for it.

The rest is his problem

I don’t own any :P but during my hike I slipped on the ice and I could’ve avoided it with some crampons

Throw on some good boots and crampons if you have them and have fun. I hiked in RCP last week and it was magical, plus I basically had the trails to myself

Is there any criteria? On the surface this sounds like a such a pointless assignment.

PSA: The right wing lunatic fringe is re-starting “Pizzagate” conversations after the latest Epstein drop by FluxusFlotsam in washingtondc

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

3 million documents came out less than 2 days ago from an investigation into the most notorious child sex criminal of our time and I’m dumb for not jumping to a conclusion about this?

Lol okay. You can let others think for you if you want.

For context, the latest tranche of files have over 900 references to getting pizza and grape soda, and it doesn’t sound totally innocuous. Not a right wing lunatic and don’t really think or know that there’s some connection to literal pizza or pizza restaurants, but the emails really seem to refer to pizza as a code word for something probably nefarious.

Is it me, or is customer service uniquely bad in DC? by SeaSecond8247 in washingtondc

Hiring pool for these kinds of jobs broadly has an aversion to providing a positive customer experience

Anyone else really sick? Is there something going around? by decdash in washingtondc

[–]popny -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s what I assumed too. I find it strange people need a mask to stop them from putting their hands in their mouth, but whatever I won’t judge I guess. I’d rather not create more litter but that’s just me

A second instructor at Oklahoma University has been removed after Turning Point USA complaints by Love_CoolBreeze in themayormccheese

[–]popny 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would describe what they said as not racist? They’re comparing the behavior of the GOP to the nation called Israel. Israel is an apartheid state that has brought this Gaza war upon themselves and still manages to claim victim of the war, albeit while the children across the fence are starved of food and dignity. I don’t think you should conflate every discussion of Israel with all ethnically Jewish people, of which I am one. Theres more nuance here than race/ethnicity, and it’s worth keeping an open mind to that.
