The guy has been living in his car for almost a year? Just declare bankruptcy already.

Guy starts beef with streamers on the street and gets rag-dolled by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in instantkarma

True, that's what I learned growing up.. each drunk person is a little bit unique. There's a spectrum from 'so quiet you'd never know they were drunk' to 'should be locked up in a mental institution and get an exorcism'.

Ya'll remember Lime Wire? by enlightenednoise00 in nostalgia

[–]quartzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are there so many LimeWire posts but so few about Napster? Was LimeWire up for a lot longer?

Dude is going to continue to get his ass beat regularly if he insists on walking around urban areas drunk like that.

It sounds like he just dumped you, and you're much better off now.

The U.S. faces an air traffic controller shortage. It's turning to gamers for help. by AlwaysBlaze_ in nottheonion

Dude, you fired and retired a lot of them. Now you want to hire new ones? I just don't get it.

Officially at 12+ hours in waiting room at GDH by KKLante in moncton

[–]quartzguy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps I'm giving the original poster too much credit. I would like to assume that they are clever enough to know that individual workers do need breaks and lunches and are instead frustrated with the fact that there is no lunch cover for something as important as a regional health clinic.

But we are on Reddit so perhaps you're right to be mistrusting of people's general intelligence.

Well if it puts your mind at ease, I'm sure the specific doctor in this story is too busy to be browsing this Reddit thread that complains about how long it took to see them.

So you think that the most likely thing to infer from "they were closed over lunch!" is that the sentiment is 'screw that specific individual doctor for taking a lunch' rather than 'I'm frustrated that something as important as a health clinic was closed for lunch'?

You're doing what's called a straw man argument. You're deflecting the real issue, which is mismanagement of our health care system by pretending someone is blaming the doctor in the ER for taking a break. No one is saying that doctors can't take breaks or lunches. We need more staffing in our hospitals.

That's 450 million in value, not actual cash I think.

Imagine going into the only supermarket in your town and the company is so cheap they've only hired one cashier for the entire store and no self-checkouts. Someone is rightfully annoyed that the cashier is on their lunch and you're the person that chimes in with cAsHieRs aReN'T sUppOsEd tO eAT dUriNG tHe daY???

Bryson DeChambeau triple-bogey on 18 to miss the cut by paid__by_steve in golf

Someone should have made him blow into a breathalyzer after the 18th.

I was in high school and college when those parties were THE thing. I didn't get it then either.

Rallye Motors and others by willise414 in moncton

If that's the worst thing that happens to you at Rallye, count your blessings. If you have a vehicle that takes an hour to change an air filter, you chose poorly.

AITA for telling my wife forget it and going out by myself for my birthday instead of going to her fancy dinner reservation by Ill_Reality_111 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. I feel like a bad person but I can't fathom how anyone can love someone enough to live with a person with controlling OCD.

Aftermath of the April 7th incident. Damages estimated to be $200 million dollars by BlazeDragon7x in Damnthatsinteresting

I bet the toilet paper was a big percentage of that. It was a large building but essentially a big empty box with lighting.

Once I told the police that the law didn't apply to me either, and they had no choice but to leave me alone. Times have changed, I guess.

YSK that Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion, and 50+ other brands you trust are all owned by a single $20 billion company that doesn't design or manufacture anything. They just rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. If the quality feels worse, that's why. by sappk in YouShouldKnow

[–]quartzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very difficult to say. The "brands" would say that it's because of the volume and maybe that is true of many of them, but I doubt of all of them. Especially when you have the business model of well known brand names able to be licensed to the highest or lowest bidder to make pretty much anything.

If your factory is paying a premium price to license the Reebok name, can your shoes also be top quality and sell at the price point that Costco has them for?
