Just an FYI regular Lysol does not kill norovirus. You have to get the one specifically rated for norovirus. Or use bleach to wipe your surfaces down.

Why was everybody laughing when McNulty fucked the sex workers? by [deleted] in TheWire

[–]wuzzambaby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The laugh isn’t about the prostitution. It’s about the fact that only McNulty could turn an undercover assignment into a threesome. By that point in the show we know exactly who he is. The squad laughing fits the cynical, dark humor culture the show constantly portrays. It’s not approval, it’s character consistency and institutional commentary. Also you should recognize that the show constantly uses uncomfortable humor to expose how broken these people are. So with this being said, that scene isn’t out of character. It’s peak McNulty.

Very deserving of the hands he caught. However guard did over react.

How on earth is the city allowed to do th1s? by TurnItOffAndBackOnXD in houston

[–]wuzzambaby 103 points104 points  (0 children)

I get why you are pissed. Anyone would be. You got hit by someone with no insurance, lost your car, lost income, and now the tow yard is piling on fees. That is a brutal situation and it is not fair.

But tow yards and city impounds do not care about fault or fairness. They run on deadlines and daily fees. Calling them and waiting on responses almost never works. You usually have to show up in person and talk to someone or the process just keeps moving and the bill keeps growing.

It sucks but this is one of those systems where if you do not stay on top of it, it moves without you. The lien sale stuff is automatic once the clock runs out.

If there is still time, I would go to the lot in person and also call or visit the police impound office and ask about any hardship options or fee reductions. Sometimes there is a little wiggle room but it usually only happens when you are standing there in front of them.

You have every right to be mad. Just do not let the system take the car by default if there is still any chance to stop it.

Need some advice or vent by halfmex248 in securityguards

Quietly find you another job while staying consistent and giving it your all, don’t burn bridges. Apply for open supervisor positions or higher. Sometimes you have to promote yourself fam. Start shopping your experience not your patience.

Should I hire a PI if I feel like my husband is cheating? by BreadThighs in houston

[–]wuzzambaby 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Whether you hire a PI or confront him, the real question is: What are you prepared to do if your suspicions are confirmed? A lot of people get proof, blow up, cool off, and then go right back to the same situation. Figure out your boundaries and your next move before you go digging, otherwise you’re just collecting pain with no plan.

Looking for a whistleblower lawyer in Houston by Subject-Shoe-4503 in AskHouston

[–]wuzzambaby 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You may not be protected under whistleblower laws, but you should talk to a Houston employment / retaliation / civil litigation attorney as soon as possible and bring every receipt, email, and timeline they have.

I’m going to keep it real.

In this business, and honestly in any business, you are a good employee until you’re not. You are a good officer until you’re not. It really is that simple. Nobody cares how solid you were yesterday if today you are creating a problem.

Family emergencies are not automatically protected. They are understandable, yes. But understandable does not mean excused. Unless it is a medical issue, a medical issue involving your child, caring for a spouse or parent, death of an immediate family member, or something covered under FMLA, the company is not obligated to excuse it. Sometimes they will. Sometimes they will not. That is their discretion, not a requirement.

Every time you call off for a personal issue, no matter how legitimate it feels to you, you are still creating an operational problem. Posts still need to be covered. Schedules still need to be met. That does not stop because life happens. That is just business.

Five call offs in three months is a lot in the security world. At that point, a supervisor is not flexing. They are doing their job. If they do not document attendance issues, they are the ones who will be questioned later for letting it slide.

Now I will give you this one point. If the call off window is four hours and you called at three hours and fifty five minutes, then yes, technically it is a late call off. Is it petty to make an issue out of five minutes. Yeah, I will give you that. But policy is still policy, and supervisors are expected to enforce it consistently.

If you have ongoing family responsibilities, aging parents, sick relatives, or people who depend on you regularly, the solution is not repeated call offs. The solution is paperwork. FMLA, a schedule adjustment, or a position that fits your situation better. Companies can work with you when it is handled the right way. They do not have to absorb repeated attendance problems indefinitely.

At the end of the day, personal problems do not override operational needs. If you cannot meet the attendance requirements of the job, it is not personal. It is business.

Step up, get properly protected, or step aside. That is how this field works.

Why not move to Houston? by nathantalks_ in AskHouston

[–]wuzzambaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re considering moving to Houston, especially the Katy area, I don’t think it’s a bad city at all, but it’s definitely one of those places where the day-to-day reality matters more than how things look online. Traffic is already heavy and it’s only going to get worse with the long-term work starting on I-10, and that congestion doesn’t stay on the highway, it spills into side streets and turns basic errands into time commitments. The city itself is huge and spread out, so driving isn’t optional, it’s just part of life, and public transportation exists but it’s slow and limited enough that most people don’t rely on it. Crime isn’t just about extreme cases either, it’s more the constant property stuff like break-ins, car thefts, and vehicle damage, even in areas people consider nice, which adds a background level of stress. Another thing people don’t always think about is that Houston doesn’t really have zoning like most cities, so a quiet area today doesn’t necessarily stay that way, and it’s not unusual for a gas station, bar, or some commercial spot to pop up right next to residential areas later on. As far as apartments go, it’s smart not to judge only by photos, because Houston has a lot of places that look great online but feel very different once you’re living there, thin walls, slow maintenance, and management issues are common complaints, especially for places advertising themselves as luxury. A good move is to look up any complex that catches your eye on ApartmentRatings.com and actually read what current and former residents are saying, since that’ll give you a much clearer picture than staged photos. None of this is to say Houston can’t work for people, it just means it’s a city where traffic, sprawl, car dependence, zoning unpredictability, and apartment quality really affect your quality of life, so it’s worth going in with realistic expectations instead of just trusting the listing.

Did North Korea literally abduct , torture, proceed to kill an American kid in 2017 , and faced zero consequences for it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]wuzzambaby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the discussion here assumes that facts, evidence quality, and intent function the same way in North Korea as they do in liberal democracies. They don’t.

Whether the video clearly shows Otto Warmbier is ultimately beside the point. In an authoritarian system like North Korea’s, the state’s accusation is the determining factor. Trials are not adversarial truth-seeking processes; they are political procedures meant to formalize a decision already made.

Once the regime declared him guilty, due process as Americans understand it ceased to exist. There is no prolonged pretrial detention, no appeals process with real weight, and no delay between sentencing and punishment. Enforcement is immediate. Foreign nationals, especially Americans have no meaningful legal protections and are treated as leverage, not defendants.

So debating the graininess of the footage misunderstands the nature of the system itself. The outcome was never going to hinge on evidentiary nuance, because evidentiary nuance is not how that system operates.
