  • I thought the US was already working on that?

  • A microwave oven? According to some YouTube videos, Apple had this tech in their phones years ago.

  • OP is Italian. The u in the Italian word for university, universitá, is said with a vowel 'ooh' sound instead of a consonant 'you' sound. I'd wager they remember their English 'a vs an' rule phonetically and, with the words being so similar between languages, mixed the pronunciation up. I'm a native English speaker and that's 100% how I fuck up my Italian.

  • I had to verify the current situation in the United States is what you stated because it's intuitively so wrong. I can't believe an employer can set terms for compensation and, through no fault of the employee, legally prevent that employee from completing those terms.

    Land of the free!

  • Meta: the post itself is mildly infuriating.

  • I only pull up Quora when I want to know the most common wrong answers to questions.

  • Yowza! That's a lot of easily disproven misinformation. You do realize you're on the Internet, right? You can actually look up the things you're claiming and verify they're not true.

  • Ahhh yes, they must have accidentally destroyed every university. Oopsies, right?

    /s

  • Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.

  • It's weird, isn't it? I was diagnosed as an adult, just a couple of years ago, and it was surreal how much sense it made of my entire life. I'm now on guanfacine which makes me feel like I have a superpower, but it's really just being able to remember things, notice more things, and concentrate for more than two seconds.

  • I did my part and sent them a "do this and I'll never buy a Haier product" email. Corporations exist to maximize profits. Communities like ours just have to learn how to make it clear to them that shutting us out will hurt their profitability.

    I think we should all be really proud of ourselves. We banded together and, regardless of WHY Haier is doing this, got them to open a line of communication. This is a huge win!

  • Hell yes! My sister-in-law has your same year but the diesel version and that thing is a champ. It's rated at 45 mpg on the highway but she typically gets 50+, even with nearly 200k miles on it.

    I had a 2004 1.8t Jetta for 12 years but I swapped it for a Prius. I love the Prius features and fuel economy but I miss how damn quick that my Jetta was, plus I loved the interior color scheme.

  • I'm curious, how was the severity of your first infection compared to later infections?

  • He's just upset because I called him out for being a douchebag in another post. So he proved my point by downvoting a bunch of my post history and leaving shitty comments on a few of them. It's pretty sad.

  • It was the former. I had a bizarre, slightly yet constantly irritating shopping trip. I thought the cart was funny. Then handicap ramp man. What I didn't post about is how people kept walking in front of me, forcing me to jerk my shopping cart to a halt, and how a major supermarket lost all of their macaroni and cheese. They recently had a remodel and three employees and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was a weird trip.

  • Nice deflection, bro. I figured you'd be too much of a coward to actually respond to anything but it's always worth a shot. Easiest block I've made this week.

  • Yep, I've done carts. I worked retail over two decades ago. You have made up...

    "oh man, I have to do what I'm paid for".~ you, probably

    A comment based on no evidence so you can dunk on someone. You're just being a dick.

    Goddamn people white knighting HARD.I guarantee most of the people upset here don't even walk the extra ten feet to the corral.

    It couldn't be that you say useless, inflammatory things. Nope, it's everyone else that's the problem.

    You're just upset for no reason.I've done this job. There are far worse things to get frustrated about than this. This isn't remotely mildly infuriating. You're mildly lazy at your job.

    Here we have you assuming, with no evidence or indication for it, that I'm the cart guy so you can call me lazy. Again, the majority of the comment is just you being a judgemental dick.

    You just seem to be one of those people who is so outraged and feels such a strong need to tell everyone how they're wrong that you generate a slew of assumptions so you can slap together meaningless judgement. I mean, seriously, what do you think you're contributing to this comment section other than making it worse?

  • Germany is indeed a great place to live - I'm assuming you're German because of your domain suffix, plus it makes sense. My sister-in-law lives there and I just love visiting. My favorite part is how the people I've met are just so straightforward. I wish everyone was so honest and direct!

  • About 25 years ago, I was a retail manager and took great pleasure in having these assholes towed. We had the towing company on speed dial, they loved us. I wasn't disabled then but it's just a shitty thing to do so it ticked me off.

    Today I just alerted store management, who was pretty pissed off about them. I approved. As much as I'd have loved to do what you suggested, I only had a few minutes before I had to leave.
