Woo! Driving to work in -40 and below, with the wind gusting at 80mph to blow snow making it so you can barely see past the hood of your own car.

The two neighbors near me who cleared snow out of their driveways by shoveling it into the street are now first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Anyway, I'm mad today because some jackass(es?) broke into many of the storage units at my condo, including my own.
Fortunately, I didn't have anything of any value stored in mine, just empty plastic storage totes that I used for moving, but I'm still pissed that I have to replace the padlock.
Just, a shit thing to have to deal with when I'm trying to get to work.
Also, I just realized they stole my backup windshield washer fluid. That's gonna cost me a buck, a buck fifty to replace.
Replacement lock bought. I got one with the extended shroud to make it harder to squeeze in a pair of bolt cutters. Also a thicker than usual shackle on it so if they do manage to squeeze in the bolt cutters it'll still be hard to cut.
Of course, the storage unit is still made out of siding material and the hopes and dreams of small sickly puppies, so anyone with 30 seconds and a crowbar could pop the locking mechanism off the door (or just break through the door) far more easily than they could get the padlock off. So, still not storing anything of any marginal value out there.

Just drove across town just to have the person I was going to see not answer the door or their phone or anything.
I had a friend do this to me 3 times and I've not talked to him since the third time. He called me like twice when I was already halfway home and I knew if I answered the phone I'd tell him some shit that would get me on an FBI watch list, so I just didn't answer and drove angry, listening to Rammstein.
If someone didn't use logic to get where they are currently, logic is not going to be the thing that will change their mind.
(I think I read that here, actually.)
agreed. So what's the solution.
so far my list is "face-stabbing" or "lock them in a matrix-type virtual reality where they think they're still in power"
I think i'm just going to try to avoid news and lie around the floor with my dog sitting on me. maybe forever.
I'd say protest and vote in elections to change the status quo, but not enough people feel that particular burning desire, as evidenced by the current political situation.
So.... wait until they die off?
problem about waiting for those folk to die off
is that a lot of other people who need change NOW will die first
I would also argue that this is one big justifiers of incrementalism (which doesn't work): "We'll get change! We just have to be patient and take what we can get!"
you can raise a stink - I know speaking out is constantly talked down on but it's actually kind of a big deal letting folk that people with your POV exist, and if there's enough like you making noise, lawmakers can and have been scared away from pulling the trigger on shitty laws

I do not disagree with you, but not enough people think they can make a difference.
Which, to tie it back to the thread, makes me mad.
The other downside with that wait to die out route, is the science they constantly shit on is constantly extending their life span.
Also shitty people are very good at raising new young people to be just as shitty. The best way to combat that is to fight back now and show all those young people they're being taught wrong. If you just quietly wait for the problem to go away, it won't.
Due to the way my workplace is set up, I have a toilet that is 99% mine alone. The price I pay for this privilege is that it's the one closest to the front entrance, so if a customer or delivery person ever needs to poop here, it's in my toilet. This happens maybe once every three or four months.
Somehow the FedEx guy broke the toilet seat. He's a skinny dude, maybe 2/3rds my size at most, so I can't imagine he was placing some specific stress on it that I wasn't. Unless he was standing on it? Now my boss is suggesting that I check the ceiling tiles above the toilet, just in case the FedEx guy stashed some contraband up there.

Let us know what you find.
That draft was saved from this afternoon, and I wasn't able to find the stepladder. So I'll share my findings tomorrow morning probably.

We had something similar at my old work, kept noticing whenever the new kid would use bathroom, there'd be a footprint on toilet seat.
Checked the ceiling one day after he used it found a half ball of coke.
Jesus Christ what narc called the cops, this is something that could've been dealt with in a civilized fashion, like a mousetrap or sprinkling of borax

Or replace it with an identical bag filled with powdered sugar and see if he says a goddamn to word to anyone in the office. And also make sure everyone is eating those powdered donuts that day and has white dust all over their fingers and under their nose to really fuck with him.
Fucking amateurs calling the cops.

Did you hear about that 100 car pileup in Ontario a couple weeks back?
that was 1 KM north of my work, and I was at work at the time. Luckily it didn't affect my drive home..... but it screwed over a lot of people

This week has been shit and I will be very happy to see the back end of it.
I had a friend do this to me 3 times and I've not talked to him since the third time.

I said "yes", started making dinner, got the board games out and... dude fucking ghosted me, and hasn't spoken to me since
I dunno wtf is up with that guy buuut

Best I can do is this stoned tablet, though I don't think you can read much on it.

Sadly bosses dealt with it, and I left on delivery. Cops and everything were involved by end tho.
I still have a feeling that the bag was smaller by the time the cops arrived and bosses seemed more energetic than usual tho.
