Reply to Augusta woman drives SUV into Popeyes over missing biscuits by forever-gymcelling

The headline sounds comical, but the article is anything but. She got her biscuits but drove through the side of the building anyway, almost striking a person. In 2020 she rammed an apartment complex with the same vehicle out of anger, and in 2018 she grabbed the steering wheel of a car that a man was driving and forced him off the road and into the woods. She got probation in the two earlier incidents. She needs to be locked the hell up and lose her license.

Reply to comment by RandomComputerFellow in Twitter argues before Supreme Court that letting ISIS use platform not the same as aiding and abetting terror by do-you-know-the-way9

Yeah I am really fucking concerned by how many people are jumping on this. They sound like a bunch of tech illiterate 70 year olds who don't understand how the internet works and assume it's like TV and newspapers. You can't act like websites endorse content by hosting it, the sheer scale of these sites and how the web works, means that applying that belief completely wrecks the internet. Yeah they should do what they can, and we can argue some sites do too little. But you will never get rid of bad content like this. It's like trying to end all crime in a city.

Reply to comment by dewpacs in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by CiboLibro

The 3 hours it took them to fill out paperwork and drive them to jail as well as the cost of housing them in jail, the time it takes the judge to read the police report and rubber stamp it at the PC hearing, and having a ADA take the time to file the paperwork to drop the case is easily 100x the amount of the stolen chips. That is not taking into account the chips themselves were no longer sellable even if recovered so the effective sale value of the chips at that point was $0.

Reply to comment by Eyfordsucks in Volkswagen says company requiring payment for location of abducted child near Libertyville was ‘serious breach of policy’ by 2_Sheds_Jackson

Eh, you can always pass on shit like this to a supervisor or manager.

Even if you can’t directly contact/locate one at that exact minute, you put the person on hold until you can.

I’ve worked in several call centers and you’re not gonna get written up/fired if the call record shows someone on the line clearly stating they are LEO and they require immediate info.

It’s something called being “above my pay grade.”

Not all folks working at entry level jobs are there because of a shitty economy or bad luck. There’s a fair percentage of people who just aren’t smart enough to get any further… and then some who can’t even perform at that level.
