Stuff like this makes me wonder any restaurant would have a no guns policy.

Nevermind the 30 year old, it's so sad that as a property owner, you can't just kick people out. You have to wait at least six months in NY. That's six months of unpaid rent, possible damage to property, and risk of falling behind in your own bills, if you depend on the property's income.

From my limited knowledge:
The Iran deal is supposed to lift all sanctions and allow a relatively free trade to Iran, bolstering their economy. In exchange, Iran is to reduce their nuclear weapon research and development centers (like the enrichment facilities). I believe what Trump is saying is that this deal is bad because it does not require Iran to stop their nuclear weapon R&D and production; only slow it down.

USPS left a package outdoors uncovered in thunderstorm conditions. The package got soaking wet by the time I came home, and the electronic inside is damaged. The company I bought it from says I have to file a claim with USPS and get my money from them
USPS says the payer of the shipping is the one who should do that (i.e. the company I bought this from).

Should I just file a dispute with my credit card company and let them deal with this crap?

I have the two tall/original Echoes (dining room and bedroom; because of the relatively good sound quality for music), and four Echo Dots (kitchen, bathroom, office and sunroom).

Only the living room (which has our home theater setup), guest bedroom, library/piano room, and basement does not have any Echos (and I am legitimately thinking about buying two more Echo Dots for the latter two rooms).

They're so darn convenient. But the privacy thing seems worrisome. Amazon is not evil though, right?

If your parents really provided you with s*** and weren't total dicks to you, maybe you should in return show some respect and love for them.

If you don't like them based on some dumb reason and they were completely OK parents than you have issues.

While you should love your parents so long as they weren't awful to you...

It's pretty fucking dickish to be like "Well I got you all this shit and took care of you"

Well no shit. You did your fucking job.

I posted a topic couple weeks ago how my dad wanted me to sign as a cosigner to lease a BMW for like $450/mo, that I know he cannot afford it. My mom told me he was going to sign my name without my consent (since he knows my SSN), so I had to freeze my credit in case he really did that. Both my parents were angry at me because I wouldn't sign it, and brought up all that crap in my previous post (how they took care of me, and I can't even sign as a cosigner for them).

It really boggles my mind.

All we have is a one minute clip from the customer. We have no idea what happened before that. For all we know the customer might have been a complete piece of shit and be only giving part of the narrative.


Yes, we dont know what led to the outburst, but the employee still acted unprofessional and racist. I cant think of too many businesses that would tolerate that kind of behavior from their people, management or otherwise.

I actually think "racist" is pushing it. I've heard people call non-black people "monkey" before, and they meant it as an insult, not a racial slur.

I do agree with you that the employee should have acted professionally, regardless of what the customer was doing. As a front desk clerk, that is literally his job.

However, this is some dinky two star hotel where rooms are $60/night, so nobody gives a crap.
