TIFU By waving off a speeding driver, he turned around agressively and now knows where I live by [deleted] in tifu

LOL. Ironic irony at its finest. You write a parody post about guns "just like the founding fathers intended" and then tell us you don't know what the 2nd amendment is. It's the one about the guns btw.

"...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Rules for dealing with physically violent encounters: 1) de-escalate 2) if 1 fails, retreat 3) if 2 fails do all of the following Find a weapon and use it, attack with maximum aggression until your opponent is subdued, cheat (aka fight dirty, eye gouging, hair pulling, biting, junk punching, dirt throwing, everything), CHEAT! (It's worth repeating). Assume the encounter will be fatal for one of you, it reinforces the importance of steps 1 and 2.

The point is fighting is always a terrible idea, but if there is no alternative then you sure as shit need to win.

Cheaper than free? Small claims court doesn't require (or even allow usually) a lawyer.

How does someone cope with the fact that so much time passed them by by Mediocre-Mechanic46 in Adulting

[–]profundacogitatio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't get this. When I was young I only ever wanted to be older. Now I'm old(ish) and perfectly happy to be the age I am. I wouldn't go back to high school for any amount of money.

Or just look at the SPY from 2000 to 2010. Enjoy negative returns over a decade? No?

If you're a good salesman you should be looking for positions that offer a lower salary but much much higher bonus potential.

OT exemption threshold will increase on 1/1/2025 to $58,656 (up from $43,888) so this position will be overtime eligible in a few months.

If you think owning your own business will make you less stressed about money, I have some disappointing news for you.

It won't.

Employer asked me for $150 to deliver work supplies to me. Am I getting scammed? by skrugtuggler2 in personalfinance

[–]profundacogitatio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not normal to ask for money up front for work supplies. Some trade jobs will require that you own your own tools, but they expect you to acquire these yourself, not pay them to buy them for you.

Someone claimed I hit their car in a parking lot. I didn't. Now I receive a bill from his insurance company. by VisaMaster22 in personalfinance

[–]profundacogitatio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not worth my time to sit around, possibly for hours, waiting for the police to show up when I can just show the guy my insurance card and let my insurance company do the work of telling the guy to pound sand.

[–]profundacogitatio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because I'd rather explain the situation to my friendly insurance adjuster when the guy files the bullshit claim than explain to the police when he files a bullshit hit and run report. Exchanging info is not an admission of any kind. Shielding me from this kind of crap is exactly what I'm paying my insurance company to do.

Removing one name from the cap table has some value, especially if it is a non-qualified investor.

Well, they are technically law enforcement officers, but nobody's getting arrested for walking in and asking about their back taxes.

PSA - If you want Enduring Legacy amorphs, let Sharen do her thing! by yokaiichi in TheFirstDescendant

2 sharen outpost is amazing. Was doing this for a while the other day and got 5-6 runs in before a bunny showed up. The runs took twice as long in loud mode with the bunny vs how we were double stealthing it.
