Sorry for the Imgur link, catbox wasn't loading as image, just as a link again: https://files.catbox.moe/j3a7cl.PNG

Context: the red pavement line means "no parking".

E: context:

1. There are a stretch of no parking zone behind the frame that looks pretty much the same
2. This is also the bike/motorcycle lane
3. There are enough room in the parking slot, so extra room for maneuver is not necessary
4. The parking slots are not free
5. The parking slots are next to a intersection

E: imo, the parking slot shouldn't be there.

I hear his long-term plan includes racing Usain Bolt when he's 75 and Paul is 64.

I'm sure HP deliberately designed the printer to fuck up the working printhead during a "cleaning" routine

Went to enterprise and rented a car that had literally 4 leaking tires and they filled them all up to 55 psi before handing the car over. This photo was taken after the 30 minute drive home.

Called and took the car back in for service only to get the same car, same 55 psi on all wheels, and same major leak in the rears. Went to another enterprise location to get a normal car instead 2 days later. Really took me back to my first car, but it's a lot less fun when it's not even yours and the "fix" is just dangerous overpressure.

See box that looks like it's 3/4 ripped in half from stacking damage:

"Looks good to me, send it off."

Ended up ordering it from Phillips for cheaper on sale, turns out it's not too hard to avoid Amazon altogether and a bonus for the company's reputation being important to the ones picking/packaging the product. Hard to blame the Amazon worker though, they don't get paid enough to care.

The ad and the linked terms don't say anything about the deal being available only for new customers and accounts. It's the lack of transparency that really gets me.

Christiano Ronaldo elbowed an Irish player during Irelands win over Portugal, earning himself a red card and an automatic ban.

In an unprecedented move, FIFA lifted the ban allowing him to play.

So I recently got a Blue Brixx set and needed to download the manual as it is not included in the box... Now that requires an account, which is just stupid... At least I can supply absolut garbage information, which is a plus. However I wanted to delete the account directly after downloading what I needed... Now that requires you to fill out a contact form (like that is legal in the EU...) and now it tells me that the throw away email I could use before is not a valid email (likely because it has numbers in them)... WTF IS THIS GARBAGE

I used to comment frequently on a very niche hobby subreddit with fewer than 2 000 subscribers. After the Reddit API changes and the rise of AI-generated posts, I got sick of reddit and deleted my account.

Before deleting my account I made sure to obfuscate all my valuable contributions (for example as long term reviews of products and detailed analyses with pros and cons) so that if reddit somehow managed to restore them, they would be of no use. I thought this should have done the job, but it wasn't.

Today I decided to google my old reddit username. Found some comments because other users had mentioned/pinged me in their comments. I don't mind that. I couldn’t find any of my posts or comments on reddit and was happy.

As I scrolled through the Google search results, I stumbled upon a blog I had never heard of before. My Reddit username appeared in the search result preview which got my interest.

Could it be that another user that coincidentally chose the same username? I wanted to see what this other person had written.

I opened the blog post which discussed a product related to that niche hobby. Of course the post was infested with Amazon affiliate links everywhere. I continued scrolling to the comment section to see what "I" had written.

To my shock, it was the exact review I had posted on Reddit before editing and deleting my stuff.

The blog owner had copied my original reddit post and used my reddit username as the blog comment username. I felt upset because I hadn’t given anyone permission to reuse my posts elsewhere.

I don't want to name the blog, hobby and reddit username so that blog don't get more undeserved views.

Please keep your racist comments to yourself, this is about these 2 people as individuals.

They're both just arguing semantics, but 1 refuses to elaborate at all and cries about bullying and antisemitism for the slightest pushback.

The other has a point, but on being called antisemitic he has to point out him being a proud Zionist.

If they didn't deserve each other, this would be actually infuriating.

I was uploading images to imgur to clear space off my phone yesterday and got an automated message that "content" in one of my albums broke community guidelines and therefore the album was deleted.

What picture exactly broke the guidelines? I have no clue. I wasn't posting anything I'd consider borderline.

How did this unknown picture break the rules? I don't know, because imgur won't tell me.

Can I appeal it? I don't see any way, which sucks since it is almost certainly an automated filter and those are known to make mistakes.

This is a problem on a lot of sites, both with and without automated content moderation. I've seen people defend sites having unknown rules as a way to keep uploaders from gaming the system, but frankly to me that's just stupid. People with enough time to figure out the workarounds will always game the system, while more normal casual uploaders are stuck essentially rolling dice.

People who joke about legos haven't stepped on this bad boy

Yes. Buried in the settings there's an option to disable it

I heard a YouTuber say today, "We are now available wherever you get your podcast; that means that an audio format of the show is now available on both Spotify and on Apple Music/Podcasts,“ and, like…isn't the contradiction of the first half against merely 2 (technically 3) locations not glaringly obvious?

Like, I get that most people don't conceive of things on their computers, anymore, in terms of files and there's a convenience to going to a centralized service to browse for a particular thing (podcasts, in this case) but…it's still annoying that we're shoving things which still, currently, – with relative frequency – can be accessed not behind proprietary, paywalled locations into these locations that're beyond collective control.

Please, delete the bs political, actually infuriating posts, mods. If you need help, I'm willing to volunteer.

A few months ago, I bought an American Standard brand toilet seat that soft closes. It was nice. But apparently after about 6 mo of normal use, the plastic piece for the lid broke; a week later, the seat ripped apart from the hinge. That’s the American Standard for you I guess. /s

So today, I go get a different toilet seat, and as I’m trying to adjust it to fit on the toilet, I notice that they gave me two left brackets.

So now I have to go back to the store and hope they will open boxes until we find me the correct right bracket. And before anyone suggests flipping the left bracket over: you can’t. Each bracket has grooves cut into one side that fit in the specific side of the mounting bracket that attaches to the toilet.

I hope y’all’s day is going better than my week! 🤣

Tina Peters is a fucking CRIMINAL
