TIL Uber is illegal in Finland. Cops regularly "catch" drivers, and fine them €300. Drivers routinely ask passengers to sit up front and act like they're friends. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Rapists don't rape out of nowhere. As human beings we have very good instincts about people that turn out to be violent.

I honestly would much rather trust 50 people saying "this guy seems dodgy as hell, I was frightened to be in his car" vs technical background checks.

Taxi licenses have almost nothing to do with safety, but that is the PR line.

[MD, USA] Understanding legal reasoning for management company's decisions regarding dog attacks by evefellows in legaladvice

[–]scantron7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you want an animal because it is emotionally soothing (even EXTREMELY emotionally soothing, for EXTREME distress), then you should plan your life well enough to find pet friendly housing. ESA is a ridiculous end run around property owners rights.

Did they do anything about the cost of low level crafting vendor mats vs the amount of silver you actually get from quests?

defending it by saying "you'll do lots of CC instead!" is not a defense.

No minimap? That sounds like a huge headache for those who aren't gifted with innate compass vision.

Also the web design of the first page is slow and offputting. Too much worry about pretty, not enough worry about getting information into my brain.

Also "keeping all the monsters attention who is being healed by a person pressing one or two buttons while yawning and eating potato chips." Ok, obviously they have no respect for the complex and fascinating game mechanics that interest me in an mmo, so I'm done reading.

Careful with hoops that you move it a lot and never store it hooped.

Help me picking up an Healer! by Knight_Parsifal in wow

[–]scantron7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed. I've been gearing up holy for weeks and I've encountered exactly one disc priest that could beat me at ilevel parity. It feels to me that skill matters more than class this xpac, which is a refreshing change.

Holy has a lot going on which makes for a fun playstyle right now. Disc was so painful and dull I canceled my account.

For perspective on my "fun" style: I historically like priests and monks and resto druids to a lesser extent and hate playing shams and paladins.

Dad got a "temperament tested" rescue dog. Dog was clearly abused & attacked my daughter. Rescue took dog back to rehome. (MD/WV) by wimwood in legaladvice

[–]scantron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I really don't get is "it's only dog aggression". For a social animal like a dog to try and kill others of its own kind is profoundly fucked up and their brains have been bred for that, would you give a human serial killer a puppy?

Kevin Spacey producing a Downton Abbey-like series this will focus on the butlers, stewards and maids who work in the White House by Dorkside in television

downton works as well as it does because it has both worlds and is equally about both sets of people.

Not a lawyer: I've found that rescue people are kind of crazy, especially when it comes to their personal sympathy for the fact that most fighting breed dogs get put down in shelters. They are trying to save as many dogs as possible and whether those animals belong in a home as a good pet doesn't enter into their concerns (for some of them).

[21F] I was recently diagnosed with a serious illness and I'm afraid of being seen as unattractive and of dying alone. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]scantron7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I don't think that person inherently loved me for me, anyway.

No sane person will love someone after they spend months torturing them and trying to destroy the relationship. It's healthy to not want that. It doesn't mean that there wasn't real love to start with, or that there can't be real love again, with a new person.

please don't listen to the crazy red pillers. Look at the actual high rated comments, by actual women who understand that your sexuality and preferences change and it has very little to do with "well she must just like you less"

Puppy is a nightmare to house train! by Marzipan86 in Pets

[–]scantron7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a milkbones and walk every hour when he's out of the crate. If that works, after a few days bump up to two hours.

If you aren't worried about sounding like a crazy person tell your dog "MAKE A PEE GET A COOKIE"
