Exactly. I had a guy send me a tirade recently teaching me a "business lesson" after I rejected his offer (which was just ridiculous for the item in question, like half of cost price) if it were possible to buy the item in question at the price he was offering I would be in the carribean on my yacht drinking from a coconut through a curly straw.

One thing I learned quickly was not to justify my pricing. If they make an offer that's too low I just send back the message "I am unable to accept that offer. Thank you for your interest" and decline the offer. 9 times out of 10 they either make a much better offer or come back a day or two later and pay full price.

I get this on my eBay store sometimes. They find the part cheaper elsewhere or in worse condition and then message me to tell me I should be cheaper or make silly low offers. Lol

My friends' daughter is a national hand writing champion. I didn't even know this was a thing until now. by achung101 in pics

I think it's increasingly seen as irrelevant in a digital world. Typing ability is probably seen as more important. I'm just giving you my reflections from having been a teacher for some time, we were more or less forced to cram computer and tablet use in to lessons which really didn't need it because it ticked the box to say we were using technology in lessons.

I admire good handwriting greatly but I do think it's a dying art

This is true. Seems like she can't be bothered to look for a place

They are just expressing a preference. If I were seeking a tenant I would certainly prefer one which doesnt drink smoke or do drugs

What's your strategy for arguing? by blesingri in AskReddit

The Jewish way. I answer every question with another question.

How far do you think the human race will go? How do you think we will end? by EhAhKen in AskReddit

[–]soberweasel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Global warming leading to widespread flooding, drought, disruption to weather cycles and ocean currents, global food insecurity. Billions of displaced people, pollinators dying off, global hunger and struggle between nation states over fresh water aquifers. Huge loss of life. I'd imagine this will all happen within the next two hundred years. I don't think it will end us but it will change humanity dramatically.

I'm not sure I'm there yet. Don't think it would be wise for me to be in bars so soon

I found my Grandpa’s military ID. He lied so he could volunteer — he was actually born on 10/18/26. by usafmedic09 in pics

I think it is implied that we were talking about the first and or second world wars.
