re: "Man" with 71x arrest record lights young woman on fire on a train

Posted by Steadyhands on 11/21/25 at 8:24 am to GeauxBurrow312

Would anyone be disappointed if the young woman's family disregarded the law and takes out the judge that allowed this? I'm surprised this isn't happening in these cases.

re: Airlines lawyers; Passengers who pay for a window seat may not get a window with the seat

Then they should be charging extra for wall seats that may, or may not, contain a window.

Correct - AFTER they pay the f*ck out to the plaintiffs

This is one reason why shite costs a lot. No one should be paid the frick out because they got a wall instead of a window. A very minor difference in cost is all that should be paid and the airline needs to either distinguish specific seats with walls vs windows for future or just call them all wall seats. Sue happy culture is a problem in America, much worse is the result of high payouts for bullshite.

spend $1100 just on car insurance. And that’s with a $1000 deductible thru Geico.

How many vehicles is that covering?

We spent about 4200 for a full year coverage on 4 vehicles, all full coverage at 500 deductible through progressive. Sadly, this is up about 600 from the previous year, with zero incidents or accidents.

Accurate. I’m not a big jeep fan but those things are fun AF.

Parents have one. I drove it as a daily for a week while visiting them a while back. I guess you have to be a Jeep person to be impressed by one of those. I've never even driven another jeep besides that model and that's when I was sure I never want to own or borrow a jeep.

re: Louisiana prison guards cut inmate's dreadlocks. Supreme Court deciding if he can sue

Posted by Steadyhands on 11/14/25 at 7:38 am to jbgleason

If they cut it off because "frick this guy, I don't like him." Then let's talk.

But I am going to guess there was some legitimate reason and that fact makes the story less click bait. So our unbiased media chose to leave that out.

Legitimate reason: He had a few weeks left on his sentence. They were doing him a favor by making him look at least somewhat respectable for release, so that he can have as good as possible a chance to find a job and become a contributing citizen.

Can't say that I have seen anyone working a real job somewhere with ridiculously long dreads. Add in a recent release from prison and you are not getting a job.

re: How come dogs have legal protections but pigs don't?

Posted by Steadyhands on 11/14/25 at 6:28 am to Violent Hip Swivel

It is partially a cultural thing. Some countries/people do eat dogs and some don't eat pigs, etc. I don't give a shite one way or the other. We eat pigs here and dogs are our pets, as long as they are friendly. Most of us would shoot a bad dog without second thought. We still wouldn't eat it though.
The other difference is that dogs are more domesticated. If you drop dead next to your dog, it's not likely to eat you until it's starving. Drop dead next to a pig and see how long it takes before you become food.

Once you get into the really small towns you don't have many amenities.

I'm the opposite. I live about 20 minutes NE of Lafayette in unincorporated country. I can't stand having to come into Lafayette for anything. If telework work wasn't shut down, I'd only go into Lafayette a handful of times per year.

re: Chick-fil-A is the most overrated company of all time

McDonald’s, along with every other fast food chain, would absolutely kill for Chick-fil-A’s speed, efficiency, and quality.

They are unmatched in that.

This is not true. The main reason chick Fila is faster is because they have enough people working to handle the flow of traffic. People are willing to pay more to get their food quickly, so they can get away with higher prices. All other places are more concerned with profit margins than service. This is the same reason Texas roadhouse stays packed. They put service above all else and have good quality. People naturally prefer that and they stay busy because of it.

re: Help settle an argument: How many of you use cologne?

Even you must think you smell bad if you're showering twice a day.

I shower once a day, and use light cologne in morning.

What exactly is the argument?

The answer is that all men do things differently and it doesn't matter.

That is absolutely insane.

Poor people will always be poor people.

Only insane with a long term loan, which I suspect most are. 3 to maybe 5 years at over 1000 per month isn't too bad depending on the vehicle. No one should ever have an auto loan over 5 years.

I have both, iPhone for work, and a Samsung with the android software. Only one if these has limited ability, and has user interface/controls like it's a 20 year old computer.

Correct, but good luck getting a bunch of people with no respect for authority to give the cops the benefit of a doubt.

They could have taken the high road and apologized. Maybe even be thankful they didn't kill him and try to do something to make up for it like support a fund raiser to help pay for the man's medical care. They're trying to charge him with assault now, does that sound like respect, and like it deserves respect?

About 3/4 the way through the video, they say the police are seeking an assault charge against this man. Wtf.
fricked up, but at least they didn't kill the guy. They could at least try to take the high road, apologize, admit they were wrong, and try to retain some dignity/respect, but nope they are doubling down with stupidity. I hope the citizens of that town bond together and treat the police like shite until they change their way. They deserve zero respect.
