Called it in to verify if it was a winning ticket. They told me they would send someone over to verify the ticket So it was a fake 'lotto' ticket used to promote something with a 'possibility' of a savings on the product? No wonder someone tossed it - as it was probably given to them to entice a sale, and they were polite and waited till clear of the conversation to dispose of it. >When they answered the call, how did they identify themselves?
AKM Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 On the subject of lawyers, more specifically talking to the police, take that whole "Anything you say can, and will, be used against you." stuff seriously. I've heard of cases where even though the defendant never said a word, they were there with their lawyer at the police questioning, and due to physical things like sweating or eye movement, the police made a case and charged the individual with something or other. Remember, the police couldn't care less about you if they tried. They'll happily charge you with something and let you sit and rot in custody until whenever it is that YOU or someone on the outside gets around to sorting stuff out. And lawyers are expensive, but the police don't care. And how are you supposed to orchestrate your defense when you're locked up? Again, the police couldn't care less. Lesson: DO NOT EVER talk to the police. Don't even be in their presence. The ONLY time you should request their presence is an immediate life/health/safety factor. "Hey, little Johnny's drowning, might want to go save him?" sorta thing. If they want to talk to you, you're already a suspect. Give them your lawyer's info and clam the hell up.

ChrisHPZ Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods really pisses me off. When a game becomes insanely difficult that it's just not fun anymore.
KoolHndLuke Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Neighbors throwing a party and evidently having a lot of fun- and I'm not invited because I'm the wrong race. Usually doesn't bother me. But, tonight I could have used some laughs.

But if they are leaving you out just because of race then they're the ones missing out.

Luka10 Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I hate it when people point out a problem then refuse to help correct it like "Hey you suck" instead do "hey you suck, try doing this instead."
KoolHndLuke Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 That sheeple want more AO games from indies, but aren't willing to put their money where their mouth is- and even fewer have a clue how hard it is for this kind of effort. Free mods have spoiled them for years now. You want more AO games? Then pick one you like and support the devs. Or support LL since that's what we're about.
worik Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Had a late breakfast, skipped lunch to gain time for a jogging trip in my break, worked overtime. Decided to be lazy, have a walk after work and instead of cooking we order pizza from a restaurant nearby. .... all is well .... except .... EVERYBODY does that today and it's still 1h before we get our food (We should have become wary, when we walked past their windows and saw how busy they were)

I'm not feeling suicidal today, freaking damocles, grr, But I Will say, you might get more money not calling them Sheeple. People lump shit, together. It's the reason why I never say "I Agree" because I don't completely, 85% of the time. What's wrong with Van Camps (I could have sworn it was van D camps) beans, Bush's Beans? WTF should I try Goya beans. And I hate black beans anyway, pintos are better. But I'm lumping horribly, bad cooks can murder pintos, good ones can prolly make black-bean-pie (or something). This guy from Indiana heard New York was a cool place, went there, and "a stray bullet" killed him. Lumping!! Plus "New York City" is huge. Bad bullet area, musta been....(See now, if they'd just said "Brooklyn" we'd have known where to lump characterize and profile, I'm missing the word I wanted). Bullets don't stray like errant pets, and it was 2:30am. So (I gotta go read an update, but "Stray Bullet" is rich) I had more examples but why?

All this talk about beans made me remember I have to cook. *Yay* I do make some pretty decent pinto beans- hot too with peppers cause both eating them and farting them keep me warm at night.
AKM Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Trying to learn something new. Fucking it up. Trying to have the mental fortitude to see it as "THAT didn't work, try something else!" rather than saying "To hell with it all". Not having much success. And yet I KNOW that the former is the ONLY path to long term success. You MUST get through the failures, try different approaches, find out what works and what doesn't. I KNOW this. Putting it into action is another story entirely.

wokking56 Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Hmm, what really pisses me off? At my age I guess I could say everything, but it all truly boils down to stupidity. Hell most of today's societal problems; racism, sexism, hate speech, gender politics and list go on without end. They are all meaningless stupidity, I don't care about what color you are or your sex or any of that other crap if you are an ass I will tell you. If some jerk wants to say some crap about [group of people] sure that is wrong and they should be ostracized for it but not fined or arrested. If you desire to get your message out to the public destroying areas and burning businesses is about the dumbest way of doing it. Hell this virus situation could be pretty much over with by now if people weren't so stupid that they could not follow a few simple rules for a couple of months. I could ramble on and turn this into a book but will quit here.

There are people out there who have their own definition of what moderation is.

Can't argue that. There is a fun little term for people like that called Covidiots. All you can really do is laugh at them because life is too short not to.
woodsman30 Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Dumb fucks piss me off....aka.....Well it is that time of the year for snow....and right on queue the asshole come out of the woodwork and drive like complete shitbags. Why in the literal fuck do people think their vehicles drive that same in the snow as in warm weather.

I hope this idiot gets the death penalty. All he had to do is pull over and call 911. It looks like he momentarily lost control (changed lanes) As long as he wasn't high or drunk he would have been in a much better place. Chances are he 'd not even spend a day in jail. Worst case is his insurance premium would go up if he wasn't an asshole. On 10/27/2020 at 7:09 PM, landess said: Aye!

Regardless of rules.
Captain Cobra Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Hurr durr winter tires are a scam cooked up by Big Rubber to squeeze more money out of the working man. *skids into a telephone pole because of driving on bald all seasons in the snow and fucking dies*
ToJKa Posted October 31, 2020 Posted October 31, 2020 Around here there is a holy war between friction and spiked winter tire users Those who drive around with summer on winter, which is illegal BTW, do so very carefully. Or very drunk. Which is also illegal. Anyway, here's also a holiday for remembering the dead, so all day i've been hearing "slept away". Annoying. When i die i want people to say i kicked the bucket and am pursuing career opportunities in the field of pushing up daisies!
TheOzoneHole Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Coursera. I don't know if this is the instructors being fucking morons and not posting directions or if it is the platform not letting them post them. I do know that coursera just ate my discussion post when I went to submit it. Click submit and it thinks for a bit and the just reloads the page. Guess that'll learn me to not write the damn things in Word and then copy them over.
