Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?5·28 days agoI figured out why that movie is so good because it bothered me for a while.
The casting is absolutely perfect. Its not terribly special in any other way, but they nailed the cast. Even dumb lines like “cox n dix” work.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Could a vampire policemen enter my house if they had a warrant?2·2 months ago“You may have a warrant and legally be allowed to enter, I’m not stopping you in any way but I do not consent to the search.”
Vamipre Cop gets bitched out by the Lt for not executing the search.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is personally your favorite insult or what is the best comeback you've heard that destroyed someone?4·2 months agoI go with “Are you a professional fuckwit or is it just a hobby?” But its really the same joke.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Anybody getting an absolute ONSLAUGHT of spam calls?6·3 months agoJust to throw this in. If you use this, check your voicemails.
I often have to call customers to check ambiguities in their orders and people just dont return calls. Our contracts clearly state that in the event that you cant be contacted we arent responsible for any errors.
Yes, thats what the very next sentence of my post was getting it.
Thank the both of you for summing up my point better than I did.
Not just that they exist but that they are a fucking huge drain on society.
As much as Billionaires are a cancer and the world would be better without them, Jeff Bezos never smashed the window on my car to steal my speakers, he doesnt come out vandalising public transport or parks and he isnt the reason my wife doesnt feel safe walking around at night. Billionaires are the reason we dont get more nice things, these assholes are the reasons we cant keep the ones we have.
They also make any sort of socialistic change harder, because any time you try to help the “underprivileged” anyone who wants to oppose it can hold up one of these wastes of oxygen and use them as the spokesperson.
A small but notable percentage of low income, low education people are just fuckwits who make terrible decisions. They had access to opportunities, they could have overcome their circumstances with just a little effort but smoking cones and stealing shit was less effort so they did that and these people are a comparable drain on society as the uber rich.
It has also been ruled in court (I think in Australia but I dont remember for certain) that it is legally binding as a verbal agreement.
Basically a farmer sent a message to a wholesaler saying “Hey, I need to double my stock feed order for next quarter” or something like that, the supplier sent back a thumbs up. So the delivery arrived and it was only the regular amount. The farmer had to buy the extra amount at retail prices and it cost him tens of thousands more, so he sued for damages. The supplier argued that text messages and thumbs up werent the correct ordering procedure and that he wasnt liable, the court ruled effectively that “Then you should have said that. A thumbs up is a general term of positive response to a question or statement and in this case constitutes acceptance of a verbal agreement” and had to cough up.
Found the case, it was Canada and the farmer F-ed up not the supplier.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you give me some tips about your niche hobby?10·4 months agoHobbyist race car builder/mechanic, sometimes you need cheap tools to break, bend, grind or cut to do one job.
I have a spanner that has been lovingly butchered to remove one sensor on a steering rack on one model of car. Its a common failure point and replacing it either means custom specialty tool or complete steering rack removal and wheel allignment.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is my entire feed in this Lemmy server nothing but American politics and Reddit bashing71·4 months agoWhat I think you need to do is have multiple accounts, I have one with a LOT of filters. "Trump, Drumpf, Trumpist, MAGA, Elon, Musk, Tesla, Rep, Republican " you get the idea. Any community I have no interest in blocked, plenty of users who go into benign subs and bring up politics blocked... Its my relaxing feed. NSFW filter on I have one with the only filter being the nsfw one. I see the whole disaster. I have one on Lemmy.nsfw... for reasons. Filter by local... I have one
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•There are teenagers on the fediverse.English151·4 months agoListen teens, I’m 40. I was a niteclub bouncer in a town popular with backpackers and partying, I also did a lot of traveling and partying. I was shameless, its a miracle it didnt fall off.
When you say you fucked my mom, its childish and stupid. When I say I fucked your mom while its not likely its possible… and thats worse.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why don't Americans plant trees and bushes of stuff that they can eat in their houses instead of having useless grass?4·4 months agoDropped fruit all over the ground really encourages rats though.
My mum got a house super cheap when I was young because it had a “rat problem” it also had a peach tree in the back yard that the owner didnt pick up after. We removed literal garbage bags of peach pits from the roof space and crawl spaces of that house and garage.
Chopped the peach tree down (it wasnt a healthy tree anyway) and the problem basically disappeared in days.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?2·4 months agoI buy a lottery ticket every week. Not because I think I stand a chance of winning but I am renting the idea that I could solve 95% of my problems instantly.
I wont win, I’ll still have problems I know this but that $10 a week is me renting hope.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the underrated quote that will stick with you for life?4·4 months ago“You can never go home again… but you can shop there.”
I second the general recommendations of Vans or converse but IMO if you’re also going to be on your feet all day wearing them the thin soles does get old fast. I wear my crossfit shoes most of the time and they are really good driving shoes because they tend more towards flat soles and unobtusive tread but still pretty good cushioning.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish3·5 months agoVolunteers are a double edged sword. At some volume of users and content it either needs to be a huge team of like minded volunteers which increases the likelihood of ye power tripping bastards or someone who is paid to do it and spend the time with rules to follow.
Delphia@lemmy.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from LemmyEnglish63·5 months agoDamn right, I’m only on Lemmy because there isnt a better alternative, not because its great.
The sad fact is that for social media to not suck you need moderation, for moderation not to suck they need to be paid mods, which means it has to make money somehow, which either means adds, subscriptions or mining user data…
Its here somewhere.
