Topic | Black people arrested for waiting for their party at Starbucks |
IdiotMachine 04/14/18 10:34:26 AM #20 | NinjaWarrior455 posted... Except for all the other customers that witnessed the whole affair that said the men didn't do anything. Agreed. All it takes is one person to complain, and the staff to escalate it. Hence the first bullet point that gives the group the benefit of the doubt ("the group was waiting quietly"). |
Topic | Black people arrested for waiting for their party at Starbucks |
IdiotMachine 04/14/18 10:30:59 AM #18 | There's probably more to this. I bet this is what happened: *The group was waiting quietly or loudly, *Some customer complained to staff, *Staff asked them to leave, *Group did not leave, *Police was called and the officers asks group to leave, *Group still did not leave, *Police arrested to remove them from the premise, *Group is released once they have a stern talking to by the officers outside of the private business. Sounds pretty standard for those loitering / being a nuisance. |

Topic | Cat aficionado says you need to use a Q-tip around a female cat's... |
IdiotMachine 04/13/18 1:04:46 PM #11 | bobtuse posted... Somebody told me this once. My roommate/tenant had a cat that would go into heat and howl all night. I told him to get it spayed or move, so he did. Funny thing is he had been living alone with the cat for like 4 years. No idea how he tolerated this. So it is a thing, and my coworker just isn't a freak. |
Topic | Black teen gets shot after knocking on door to ask for directions to school |
IdiotMachine 04/13/18 1:03:27 PM #109 | "I got to the house, and I knocked on the lady's door. Then she started yelling at me and she was like, 'Why are you trying to break into my house?' I was trying to explain to her that I was trying to get directions to Rochester High. And she kept yelling at me. Then the guy came downstairs, and he grabbed the gun, I saw it and started to run. And that's when I heard the gunshot," he says. If you believe his side of the story: I believe the wife is much more at fault than the husband. If my wife starts screaming that there's a home invasion happening, you bet your ass I'm going to grab my gun and run to help her. In this heightened/adrenaline-fueled condition, you're not going to be reasonable; it's a fight-or-flight moment. Having said that, I do believe the husband is still somewhat at fault because he fired at the teenager while the teenager was running away. |
Topic | Cat aficionado says you need to use a Q-tip around a female cat's... |
IdiotMachine 04/13/18 12:55:16 PM #8 | A coworker told me this. Luckily, my female cat is spayed, so they won't ever be in heat. He went on to say that he recommends cat owners to do this for their non-spayed female cats during heat to reduce the chances of the cat escaping the house, meeting up with a tom cat, getting pregnant, and giving birth to more unwanted kittens. |

IdiotMachine 04/09/18 9:48:12 PM #1 | And how all in-your-face they are about it... As a newbie entering the gun world, the attitude how buying a gun is such a huge right and such an important thing, "us vs them" mentality, and "we need guns to maintain our militia!" type arguments put me off. Just admit that it's fun to own and we shouldn't punish law abiding gun owners. That simple. |

Though I did sign up and pass the NRA basic pistol introductory course (~6 hours of classroom training and ~8 hours of practical and shooting training). For that course, we fired a Smith & Wesson M&P .22LR. We fired over 250 shots... it was grueling. Can't wait to get this though. Probably several weeks. |

Topic | I've carried a debt of $1,000 for the past 6 years for lulz. |
IdiotMachine 04/08/18 3:21:42 PM #1 | I signed up for a 0% APR for 24 months credit card and spent ~$1,000 on it. I couldn't end up paying for it, so I signed up for another 0% APR for 18 months credit card and transferred the balance. By the time the 2nd promo period was about to end, I was able to pay for it, but figured "I wonder how long I can keep this going", and took advantage of an offer of 0% APR for 18 months with 0% transfer fees that my current credit card company gave me. Now, I can pay off the $1,000 pretty easily, but I'm still transferring the debt for lulz at this point. My credit is pretty healthy (807 according to creditkarma), so I guess this doesn't affect credit too much. |
