"Uncle Roach". Better? :)

Yeah, weird some asshole thought everyone would be in cars in a DRIVE THROUGH ATM lane.

I agree with your final sentence, but this scenario is not one of those times.

Wait til you have to deal with telecommunication customers!

Aashole.

I don't understand how drive up atms are entitled. It is convenient, not necessarily lazy. Even granting it's entitled and lazy, drive up atms are far from "peak lazy-entitled human", see Uber, door dash, amazon, etc.

So, be an asshole? What's it like being the only person on the planet?

If a business can't or doesn't want to provide their service after 7pm, their closing time should be 7pm (or earlier), not 730pm. It's not "assbag" to go into an open business and expect to receive whatever service they allegedly provide, and it certainly doesn't warrant extraordinary tips.

Totally agree. Mitigating circumstances, absolutely. Self defense, nope. There should be some punishment. What that should be, I do not know.

Hmm, I've done all of these things and haven't suffered the consequences you describe. Yes, in the US.

Most 17 year olds charge with murder, or some variation of killing someone, aren't charged as minors. That's not taking a position on this specific case, it's just a fact.

I quit going to Subway when they changed their whole menu. I went and asked for a spicy italian, blank stare from the employee, "uh, that's not on the menu". I said "Okay" and left. The menu wasn't structured to "make your own" thing not on the menu. Subway was never spectacular food but serviceable, quick, and fairly inexpensive. Not the case anymore, and the weird shit they've advertised lately looks awful. FFS, ad are supposed to make things look better than they are, so if these ads look better than the real thing, it must be dreadful irl.

I haven't died yet. My house isn't on fire.

Eh, "cut my penis off because I want to be a woman" is a pretty far leap from "I wish i wasn't bald". That's how they square it.

I'm not judging one way or other.

I appreciate the reply, I'll have to try that. I ran some other fix commands earlier but haven't tested with a reboot yet. If the pc tries to boot to windows (without Grub), I literally have to power off the psu until the cmos clears, then turn back on in order to get to the boot menu. Win 10 once had a uefi setting console, but it's no more, apparently. If my earlier commands or your fix doesn't work, bye windows.

Edit: neither worked. Efibbootmgr WILL move Mint up in the boot order but windows always stays on top. Figures. I thought about deleting the windows boot Mgr entry, but I'm not sure what that would do. Making the winbootmgr inactive fails. Idk.

Edit2: I decided fuck it; deleted the windows entry in efibbootmgr. Seems to have fixed it. I can still boot to windows if I choose but the select OS option comes up by default now. Yay. It appears winbootmgr has reinserted itself in efibootmgr but as a lower priority than Mint. Oddly, I'm still getting a "Grubx64.efi not found" message for half a second before the OS select comes up. I can live with that unless it's a sign of problems to come?

The only issue I have now is that Grub is not loading to select Mint or Windows, so the compter loads Windows by defailt. I have to go into the BIOS boot menu in order to load Mint anytime the computer restarts. Not the end of the world, but annoying. I tried a few 'fixes' from the forums, with no change. Once I'm into Mint, everything I need is working as intended. I may just remove Windows entirely if it bothers me more.

This post inspired me to reinstall Mint finally, after years of Windows frustration. I've played around with Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora over the years, but I'm ready for Mint as my daily. I still have dual boot with Windows (for now) and am still working out Grub bugs, but otherwise, it's going great so far!

We're gonna have some 3rd party candidate votes, we always do, and most of those people are already dug in for their candidate; likely nothing to be done about that. I know I was in my Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders days. I voted for Nader once or twice and couldn't have my mind changed.

At this point, many of the fence sitters will likely not vote at all, debate or not. It's very easy for people to be meh about the whole thing. It doesn't directly impact them in the short term directly, at least in their minds. And I get it. Life can be hard, and many people have more pressing concerns than who the president is at the moment.

Nearly everyone else who will vote is already solidly Trump or Harris, and maybe a few Kennedy folks.

I've always hated the phrase "bad actors." It's a meaningless descriptor.

The two sides do not operate the same, necessarily, or hold the same views. But both are oppressive and corrupt in their own ways. It's not even debatable.

I'm firmly in the D liberal camp, but I don't lie to myself that those Ds in power actually give a shit about me or people like me. Their interests are in securing their own money/power structure. Sure, sometimes that trickles down to help us common folk, but it's just an accidental side effect.

I'll definitely vote like lives depend on it, but, unfortunately, how folks vote depend on who's lives they find important to save; that's not as straightforward as it should be.

This is my fear. I've only had the house 2 years, exclusively rented before. I'm 'making it' right now, but a few years down, who knows. Sorry for you, hope it comes out okay.

Gross.

Ahh, the voice of reason. All ____ are ____ (fill in with your favorite stereotypes). Then, us serfs fight amongst ourselves, oblivious to what's really going on.

Did any of you read and understand the article?

Yeah, but Israel /s

About 25 miles. About 30 years ago, I had a stint with meth, short-lived, thankfully. I walked from the north end of my city to a suburb south of the city to my sisters house to detox after a bender and running out of money. Funny thing, in retrospect, I had just enough money left for bus fare but when I got on the bus, I was still so sketched out (paranoid) that I couldn't bear to be around other (sober) people. So, I got off the bus immediately and walked. Not my finest hour.

Discover is the best one I've ever had. No annual fee, started out with 0% interest for 18 months. I constantly get 0% balance transfer offers for 12 months, sure it costs a 3% one time fee, but it sure saves money on interest. Plus, their customer service and fraud dispute are the best imo.

Who cares? Fuck reddit. Half the content is bots anyway. So, bots stealing content to train AI to make content, which the bots will steal and repost. Circle of death for reddit. Good luck with that IPO.

It seems there are details missing from your story. I find some similarities to your story to my credit history and I've had drastically different results.

Also, single digit credit scores aren't a thing.

What's a "boomer puke"?

Ooh yay, the 'Guess Which Politician' game!

You're stating that "not guilty" doesn't mean "innocent." I'm adding that "not guilty" doesn't always mean "guilty but got away with it." Which part confused you?

Similarly, "not guilty" does not necessarily mean "guilty, but we couldn't prove 100%". So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you're implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

I'm not into guys, but I think Caleb and Rick should be on your list.

I'm oldish, and I can say with 95% certainty that I've never met a person called Sandy. What do i win?

No thanks, removed, I'll ruin my own life tyvm. :) However, clair(e) should be on this list.

Sound it out...

On the high seas

As a football fan, I'm way more annoying about it than people who complain about it. Ask my family and neighbors. And I'm definitely not the exception.

Also, note that super bowl haters have never attempted to burn cities to the ground due to hated of football.

Shouldn't park with your forks up

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Employees are clocking in early and not performing work related duties, and employees are clocking in before they even show up to work. What I meant by my last question is that employees are stealing wages. I know that won't be popular, and it's not at all to say that employers are worse at it, but your comment on the subject brought into mind because it's definitely related.
