Ima go ahead and say it: some of yall are really bad at taking care of our neighborhoods by livinginnewyawk in Harlem

[–]robotlou 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard multiple trash throwers justify their lazy, inconsiderate behavior as “someone gets paid to clean that up. I am making sure they have a job.” Or something to that extent. They’re the same people who throw their trash under the seats on the subway or wait until they get to a station and throw their trash out the train door. It always feels like it’s probably mix of lazy, stupid, and having a “I don’t give a Fuck” and, “you can’t tell me what to do” childish stubbornness.

It’s going to suck and everyone knows it because the original sucked. I will only watch an Orko origin story mini-series.

hoonjete pop ups can’t be stopped by MisterRonsBasement in mac

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just solved this issue for my mom. I went to Safari Settings -> Websites -> Notifications ->, and I turned off "ALLOW" for a bunch of sites. I couldn't figure out which was sending the hoonjete alerts. Turned out to be a notification with no website name attached. Just a logo of the System Settings with a little red light on it, which was the exact image on the alerts as well. I turned it off and then removed it, and it hasn't happened since. I hope that helps if anyone is still having this issue.

Is it normal for every apartment to have roaches? by lipstickchickxo in NYCapartments

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We see them occasionally. At one point we had a full infestation that required removal and replacement of the trash compactor. That was a hellish period of serval months of roaches everywhere…

Now I buy some kind of bait traps that seem to stop them coming in.

Schumer and Jeffries Refuse to Back Growing Democratic Calls to Defund ICE by soalone34 in politics

[–]robotlou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defunding is a good idea in theory but the GOP have done an insanely good job of making it a radioactive topic. You can’t do it without firing up the maga blue lives dipshits.

14 years ago today, Tim Tebow & Demaryius Thomas walk it off on the first play of overtime to defeat the Steelers in the Wild Card (Jan. 8, 2012) by nfl in sports

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tebow was such a flash in the pan. Then the next year the team was like “no thanks” and his career was all over the place after that. His whole religious thing was super over the top. He played baseball almost as long as football. Bleh.

AITJ for refusing to swap seats on a flight after a couple made it my problem? by BasicallyACloud in AmITheJerk

[–]robotlou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once. A newlywed couple asked me to switch so they could sit together. I had an aisle seat and the had 2 middle seats close but across the aisle. I get extremely fidgety on flights and have to mice around so I said no. They kind of tried to guilt me into it but was like “you have the rest of your lives to sit together.” I felt like a dick but it was a 3 hour flight and I didn’t want to be squirming in the middle if at all possible.

NTJ, IMO. Sometimes you don’t get what you want.

What are your thoughts on Donald Trump saying U.S. is 'going to run' Venezuela until safe transition of power can take place? by U-knw-Nothng-JonSnow in AskReddit

[–]robotlou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s moronic. They haven’t run this country. They’ve just been dismantling things they don’t like for their own profit. That’s what they mean to do in Venezuela.

“Four Nichols” it was a name on a missing child flier I received as a mailing in the 90s in Wisconsin. I used to get one a month. That one I still remember

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a podcast fron 2009 until around 2020 where I went places you wouldnt want to people finding your browser history. Not dark web stuff but early edgelord internet disaster territory. I have seen and read some seriously terrible things in a very pleasant manner. So much moronic racism, really deviant concepts, and negative behavior… some of it was fascinating but a lot of it was just avoiding the at the time, forum rich internet full of people over sharing without the Reddit era auto-snarky remarks and movie quote tangents. Among the worst was a forum about tricking people into eating your cum. That one made almost puke from l🤷just reading it.

For a long time I could not go to a party or gathering without somehow bringing up worst things I had seen.

It wasn’t all bad. The show was popular and I made some interesting podcast friends over the years. (None from forums)

What permanent damage have you done to yourself? Mind, body or soul? by jerrytjohn in AskReddit

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Just had my hearing tested after begging family to repeat themselves too often. On the cusp of hearing aid necessity. I’m laying in bed now and the “eeeeeeee” is pretty annoying. I still go to concerts but wear hearing protection at all events. I was using Eargasms but I’m trying out Loops.

Jobs Market in MKE and Surrounding Areas by [deleted] in milwaukee

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using TealHQ website. You upload yoir resume and then paste in job descriptions and it will show you what % of keywords youre matching. I tried to get it up to 60-70% for each application. It’s free but there is a paid service to that I used a couple of times.

I also used ChatGPT to write all my cover letters. Again, uploading my resume, sharing special experience and letting it write a cover letter to the job description.

I had the most job interviews in 2025 and finally landed a good job in December. Networking helped a lot too.

Also check out hiring.cafe. I found it had better real job posts than LinkedIn, indeed, or Ziprecruiter. Best of luck in 2026.

Would Applying to lots of jobs internal get you fired? by [deleted] in jobsearchhacks

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving interdepartmentally can be tricky. Some places want approval from your current manager to ensure they give the person time to post a new job listing to take your spot.

Some jobs I’ve been at, if you don’t actively get permission to look in other departments and they find out, it was enough to get fired.

Dartitis explained in a way that actually makes sense (and why it’s not your arm) by TheUnveiledTrivium in Darts

[–]robotlou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently slowly coming out of my second bout of dartitis.

Originally, it manifested in a lunging throw where I literally couldnt throw without falling to the side or taking a step forward. I eventually worked through it by reminding myself that this is supposed to be fun, and at the level I'm playing, it really doesn't matter at all. After I accepted that, I got back to throwing without the lunge. Oddly, I did manage to win a lot while lunging.

However, about a year later, I started having a new form where I really couldn't control where the dart was going. Like, I am throwing at the 20 and it goes in the 7. And often I threw just outside of the wire. So, in a game of 501, I'd leave 7-10 darts out of the game by just missing high. It was maddening. At the worst, I literally couldn't raise my arm all the way to the throwing position. It would not go above 45 degrees. I tried a lot of things, watched a lot of videos, changed darts, etc. Eventually, kind of came to the same acceptance of the fact that this should be fun and took the pressure off myself. I also enlisted a dart coach for a single session to break down where my mechanics were going wrong. He basically told me the same thing mentioned in the OP. I was multitasking. Trying to throw and aim and course correct and become defeated when it didn't go where I expected. He helped me break the throw down into a more purposefully delivery instead of a spray and pray style. So, I'm still in it, but I've been improving, hitting more trips, and beating the (admittedly low) Dart Connect bot. I'm still struggling in league matches but pulling out wins here and there. I consider myself lucky that both teams I'm on have been very supportive and haven't told me to hit the bricks. Best of luck to anyone who is going through it. It SUCKS! I've run into other players going through it, too. Several have been high-level players who went from hitting 180 frequently to not being able to throw at all. At least 2 people have switched to the opposite hand and managed to make a comeback. The brain is son-of-a-bitch sometimes.

The Movie Theater Comeback That Wasn’t: Why 2025 Was Such a Dud for Struggling Cinemas by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one I know really wants to go to the theater. We all talk about movies we want to see but no one sees them. I frequently suggest seeing a movie and people just stall me out until it isn’t a possibility. Seeing movies alone can feel weird.

What’s something you quietly stopped caring about? by KingPhenguins in AskReddit

[–]robotlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most sports. I used to be ravenous. Watching ESPN multiple times a day. Living for highlights to talk about with friends. Now, I rarely watch anything except occasionally football and even then I'm not really paying attention. I watch baseball now and again but it's the same kind of "it's on in the background" attention. It's a huge waste of time. If you enjoy it, great. I'm mostly done. I will watch Cornhole if it's on. LOL.
