  • ACAB, of course, but there’s more nosy, racist neighbors out there than police. Back when I worked in residential, we had the cops called on us (black coworker) because we delivered a TV

    2 cop cars rolled up on us as we loaded the broken TV into our company-branded van in our company-branded shirts. Thankfully the truth of the situation was obvious. The woman who called said she saw two black guys climb the 3 story building and break in through the window on the roof deck…but I had the security logs showing I unlocked their door using their home automation controller. Not to mention that my coworker was a short, round guy. The man can barely climb a ladder, let alone scale a building.

    Like I said, they were cool about it but it still wasted half an hour of our day. My coworker said he knew exactly who called…a little old white woman across the street he spotted mean mugging us.





  • I agree with everything you said except the paragraph about how to DIY it.

    OP, do not DIY this. If you do, you now have two problems to worry about -

    1. You have no idea how to fix it AND no idea what a successful repair even looks like

    2. It will come up in the inspection when you sell. DIY foundation repairs are always noticeable and will raise a ton of questions. I backed out of two houses because the report called them out. You can’t see what’s going on behind the “repair” to know if it’s actually repaired





  • I think if you post someone else’s comic without adding anything to it, you deserve no attribution either. Pete is getting attention for something he didn’t do.

    If it were Tumblr, he’d be the “I reblog this every time” comment at the bottom of the screenshot. If it were tiktok, he’d be the guy green screened in front of the comic pointing and saying nothing. And it were early internet, he’d be the guy downloading it from SomethingAwful and adding a watermark of his website.

    But really, I don’t have a problem with Pete. The thing that irrationally bugs me is including him in the screenshot when the only content is the comic itself. BUT…whenever I see these, I assume it’s the person adding nothing who took the screenshot. It’s marketing…“please follow me on social media, I want to be an influencer”
