Reply to comment by daedalus_was_right in Student charged after bullied New Jersey school girl takes her own life by r4816
Tho original comment is gone, so posting this here.
I was in school in the 80s. Bullied horribly (including physical violence). I finally dropped out in my junior year. You hear about it more, because we have faster/more modes of communication (used to be just whatever made it to national news at 6 and 11) and more modes of capturing evidence. Think about that case where the girl goaded her boyfriend into suicide. This could have happened in the 1970s over the phone. No one would know about it. There would have been no evidence.

Honestly, I think someone could make a killing with a coffee truck that roams neighborhoods like an ice cream truck.

I was agreeing with you. And from what I've been told, some of these delivery services don't tell you what the order is until you've accepted it. If you reject too many times, your account gets frozen for a period of time.

Right, but I think we can all see that OP is trying to determine how long theirs will be. If everyone says 8 minutes, how is the information useful?

I ordered Starbucks delivered once during the pandemic, but felt weird just getting a coffee, so I also got an iced coffee, two food things (bfast, and lunch) and a pound of coffee to make it $30, and i left a 10 dollar tip (it's a mile away).
This isn't medication, or even groceries. It's overpriced coffee, a luxury item we buy with our disposable income. An actual human is spending gas, time, and wear and tear on their car. Even with a 30% tip, it's costing them money to deliver it.

My grandfather was like that. He died alone in his house. No one missed him until he didn't go back to work after a 2-week vacation. Left an unsightly stain on the floor.
Anyway, fuck nazis.

Reply to Horrifying Lyft Story in NJ. by Boring_Language5662
No description of the car, driver, or plate, despite all of those things being on the app. No link to an article. No phone number or town for the police.
It's horrifying all right.

I have one, but it's cheaper and easier to scoop into a dog poop bag. Plus I get ones that will break down in the landfill relatively quickly.

I just watched 14 Peaks, and seeing a guy traipse up Everest while a bunch of white dudes pay 40k to have sherpas roll out a red carpet for them to gasp and wheeze like they did the work is laughable. The mountain doesn't want you.

These places feel like you're in an Apple store. Minimalist, very clean, extremely knowledgeable sales people (seriously, they like answering questions).

Reply to comment by structuremonkey in Holmdel proposes fines, jail time for attempted car thefts by double_chicken
That's what I was thinking. I live in a very dense little city, with lots of homes that come up to the sidewalk. You can touch people's cars from the sidewalk, not even including street parking.
This feels like some "discretionary" stop and frisk to me.

Reply to comment by Danitay in Need a home for this little guy. by shatteredverve
I'm not OP, but I had to put bells on the kitties who came to live here, because they were scaring the crap out of my half-blind pup. She came from an abusive situation (which is how she came to be blind in one eye) and is pretty timid most of the time. Every once in a while, one of the cats would suddenly appear in her field of vision, and she chose violence.

There was an article where the person paid down their 100k student loans and bought a 400,000 house within 2 years of graduating college. Oh yeah, they moved in with their parents, lived for free, and got a down payment from parents.
Shit...why didn't I think of that!

I'm 50, a homeowner, and I fix my own stuff. This is above your pay grade. It's also not something you did. These should be installed properly. Tell your dad I said that.
But tell him as soon as possible, because a loose wire could cause serious problems.

I'm pretty sure the subtext of the comment was, "I'm sure he's crying his eyes out getting paid to not work while his buddies decide his fate." Not sure why you wrote an essay.
