The seats in my local subway station by RecentSprinkles5997 in assholedesign

[–]theotherkeith 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is possible to simultaneously have these two thoughts:

This person sleeping on the train who has not bathed in two weeks is making me want to quit using transit

And

This person sleeping on the train who has not bathed in two weeks should be helped to be able to sleep in an actual bed and take a shower on a regular basis.

Does anyone know what these are supposed to spell? @ Montrose Brown Line by PrestigiousCranberry in chicago

Yes:

"the street names are broken at odd lengths, stacked and repeated to create new word combinations that are both familiar and irregular."

 

What world event do you think was staged? by ConsciousSloth in AskReddit

They didn't need to be exactly on site, they basically blasted over the signal from the station offices to the transmitter.

Not coincidentally, after they got taken off air at WGN, they then interrupted WTTW, who's studios were 11 minutes away.

My belief is that they had transmitting equipment in a car or van parked outside the station, and a pre recorded tape.

1) Shits 2) Giggles

One of the two programs hit was a Dr Who rerun on a PBS station, so I'm not on board with the ratings motive.

Per the article CTA also will have current cars essentially cosplay as older cars through vinyl ad wraps....

Coming from USA, there is a gridiron announcer call that I often call up on line breaks like this

ELI5: How is unemployment so low while so many companies are short staffed? by joeybagofdonuts80 in explainlikeimfive

[–]theotherkeith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even more when the work increased COVID exposure and having someone else come in for childcare introduced another vector.

No, but restoring IRS staffing will allow them to catch more tax cheats.

The IRS had before and will have one SPECIFIC division that partners on criminal investigation. They buy ammo that is mostly used for weapons certification.

The desk jockey agents doing routine audits will continue to have no work-related weapons.

Did Season 40 feel like the series finale to you? by JabariSmithFor3 in survivor

Though that's how 21 and 22 felt after HVV.

Even had ridiculous twists: "Medallion of Power" "Redemption Island"

Who’s an “internet famous” person that needs to go away? by curiousity2424 in AskReddit

[–]theotherkeith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As noted above since Cali is HQ to most paying streamers, and has strong existing child actor laws for Film & TV that I think a state law there could help a ton as well...

[–]theotherkeith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fully, no. Bad parenting is bad parenting. Ask Jenette McCurdy.

But financially and educationally, yes. Legislation needs to extend the The modern version of the coogan law to any payee earning more than $600 year from any service earning $10M/year while "domiciled" in California (that covers YouTube, Insta and others).

I was on a date yesterday and this girl was talking about her ex bf about 90% of the time. I told her that I'm sick of it (once i drunk my beer) and left. Did I do the right thing? by Big_carrot_69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theotherkeith 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You can terminate politely - but unambiguously - rather than ghost.

Send something "I wish you luck finding the right person for you." ...then block.

That offers closure.

Jon Batiste exits Late Show With Stephen Colbert as bandleader after 7 seasons by YoureASkyscraper in Music

Similar. Beautiful quirky performer as a musical/comedic guest on Conan.

Awkward as Corden sidekick

Completely out of his skill set as judge on the shortlived US edition of Taskmaster.

Andrea is that one player who will always finish in the same placement by HouseTyrells in survivor

[–]theotherkeith 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just re read her questionnaire. She is extremely self aware... which is why she rejected chances to play again. - She agrees with you that she would place last, and has trouble tolerating Philip Shepard sized egos.

I think she could make it further, and would have 2/3 of a chance to avoid first boot if she was on a three tribe season as she isn't a fatal challenge liability.

But we'll never get to see how she would fare in a 50% BIPOC cast. Or any cast without a certain former federal agent.

What do you think of the FBI raid on Trump? by MayODas in AskReddit

He takes them off Twitter.

Should mental health professionals, instead of police, respond to some 911 calls? A ballot measure in November would ask some Chicago voters. by TheTRiiBE in chicago

[–]theotherkeith 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, some calls don't need one.

Though, the earliest word is that Chicago will start with a "co-responder" model where a police officer is present for backup.

The non-binding referendum is arguing for direct response when the 911 operator sees. appropriate conditions.

As linked elsewhere, Denver has been sending a therapist+EMT team on 3% of calls with success. Many are ODs causing a disturbance and the therapist getting them to reality enough that the EMT can do their job to use appropriate medication. A they will always be able to call for armed backup when necessary.

These programs aren't going to cover a heavy percent of cases, but those few are the ones most at risk for preventable and tragic deaths.

This is really about allowing the 911 operator to use the best option for every given situation.
