How adorably naive.

For the US: The Supreme Court has ruled that flashing your lights to alert other drivers of an upcoming speed trap is protected by your First Amendment rights.

Flipping off a cop is also protected, but that’s less helpful to others.

I feel like I’m too old for this answer for two reasons, but:

I get 6-7!!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let me know if you ever find out how to make it stop.

“I am very smart” vibes. This guy read a book and needs to let everybody know it. There’s a good chance he actually is intelligent, but obviously has a LOT to learn.

Yup. He got my iTunes code and I got his Amazon code. All worked fine.

I once did that through a subreddit dedicated to exactly that. Not sure if it still works the same, but used a review system to highlight trustworthy traders and black list scammers. I found someone with a high rating and being the noob, I let him take the lead and I shared my code before he shared his, which I would never do with anyone I didn’t trust.

Yeah, I guess. I’m not saying a paper cut is a good thing, I’m just saying it’s better than a broken femur.

If your stance is that everything bad is equally the worst thing ever, that’s your perspective and I hope it serves you well.

I would say the line between the two is found in desperation.

If I’m in the middle of nowhere and run out of gas, I wouldn’t be happy paying some guy $50 for a gallon of gas to get me to the next station, but it serves my needs, and of course I’d have spent less had I planned better, but this guy got me out of a tough situation.

If some other guy gives me the same offer, but then runs off with my money and gives me no gas. I’m out the money AND I’m still screwed.

Fuck that guy twice as hard as the first guy.

I don’t disagree with any of your points, and I feel the same way about sales tactics, but I still think straight up robbery is much worse and it’s own category.

I’m not saying it isn’t a shitty practice, but reading this makes me think we need a word that differentiates between getting robbed through manipulation, and just not getting a good deal.

The “Microsoft Rep” that needs $10,000 in Apple gift cards, is a scam.

The guy who buys your house for half it’s actual value may be manipulating you to get a deal, but in the end everybody gets what they agreed to. It’s still shitty when you realize what happened afterwards, but I think it deserves a differentiation from illegal scams.

Some days more than others, but generally, not really.

His wife made him feel appreciated.

This post was a spinoff of another post from a few days ago asking why most video game music isn’t in those databases. So, I started from that assumption. I probably just picked a bad random example, because wood man slaps.

I wouldn’t rule it out. Would really depend on the person.

Meat on macaroni and cheese sounds awesome!

I guess having the same tuna technique does not imply similar tastes!

Can confirm. Been using this method for years. Might I recommend throwing lettuce, tomato and a slice of cheese between the tuna?

After a while, you kind of get used to your life being destroyed by ADHD. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Right, but they wouldn’t be able to identify Wood Man’s theme from Mega Man 2. As far as I know, nobody has collected and included those in the recognition software.

Sounds like quite the endeavor. I’m just curious how you would collect recordings of all video game music for the database. Music is distributed as tracks on an album, and I don’t know if you can easily rip that data from the code, or if someone would have to record it from gameplay.
