I bought some green bananas a few weeks ago and it took over three weeks for them to turn yellow. Never saw anything like it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I remember a time when a piece of gear would break at work. I'd call a guy at a place and ask him if he could fix it. He'd say yes. I would send it to him with a sticky note on it telling him what was wrong. He'd fix it and send it back. He'd charge us what it cost and we'd pay him. Simple. Now when something breaks, I have to email three different people, fill out a form online with model numbers, serial numbers, what the issue is, and get approval so they can send a Return of Merchandise Approval form, send one back to them with the gear, then forward a copy to our guy so he can approve paying for the repair, all so everyone can track information. And in the end, the guy on the bench is still just going to read the sticky note that that I put on the gear. I truly wonder how much money gets wasted tracking spending in the guise of saving it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyldnwoody44 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 I just came up from 102 ft, at one point I had a seahorse come to my finger. My complaint, seas are getting rough and the Dramamine hasn't kicked in yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is a hassle nowadays. How many things actually go smoothly or as intended?

Broken Ankles Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 7 teenagers talking through the entire showing of One Love this weekend. Absolutely ruined the event. Movie wasn’t spectacular by biopic standards but nevertheless. No one to complain to at the Theatre. I saw one kid both scanning and helping at the kiosk where you buy tickets. Will we have theaters in 25 years? I can say I have no interest in going anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I have no earthly idea why the Roenick thread was locked yesterday. Are there written standards that govern the matter of thread locking? Also, @spndnchz: What was the reasoning in your briefly locking this thread? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. I posted there. If the thread sucks, then let the democratic process of inattention do its work. The thread will just fade away, if, as you say, it’s not a worthwhile thread. Also, is that the criteria for locking a thread around here, @SDS? A mod’s subjective belief that the thread isn’t worthwhile? I’d have thought the criteria would be more directed to inappropriate content (abuse, demonstrable lies, misuse (selling something)). 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 (edited) I just found out that Lowest Point in Sabres history thread wasn't locked, it was scrubbed from the site. There was a lot of good historical info and context in it. My Gaslit at 3 a.m. thread also went away. I actually messaged chz and said I wasn't going to get upset about the gaslit thread bc I have mellowed with age. But now I AM getting ticked off. There's a weird trend at play.

Mr. Allen Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 (edited) The Mods on this forum make it difficult for me to continue to come back. I visit other boards and no other mods act like this. They’ll probably lock and erase this soon enough. They don’t like criticism. Edited February 29 by Mr. Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I commented on the Britney Spears subreddit asking the worst thing she had done post conservatorship. I responded with calling out her children multiple times on social media. Not her adult children, but her children children. She has been a bad mother. It got deleted with a message from the mod "RESPECT BRITNEY". I think this is a good line in the sand for thread and comment deleting. "Does deleting this thread make me more similar or less similar to Britney-stans". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you post on the Britney Spears subreddit is the most important thing I have learned here today. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
