Comment Re:Prank your friends (Score 1) 350

Candid camera never went out of it's way to 'prank' a person beyond the funny
aspects. Violent outcomes were never shown or known on the pranks. Nor do I recall
anyone getting angry. every few months they did show the blooper real and that was
funny too.

For example showing how people almost chewed there fingers while eating a burger.
painting a sign that said don't look behind the sign and watching them spin the sign.
someone in a scary costume or a fake tree scare. looking up and then watching others
trying to see what you see. classic none harmful or hateful pranks.

I do love the modern prank where someone dress as a dinosaur and rounds the corner.
What makes that prank safe for me is that it's done in daylight so there is no confusion
to think that it might be really all that sinister.

I guess it comes down to how sinister the prank is. I find that the one where the guy
got shot on the roof with his friend watching was way too much. I would think that kid got
problems for the rest of his life.

Disclaimer : I live in Florida.

I carry a pistol certain times of the year for security reasons.
I'm rather fast and I practice consistently year around drawing,
aiming and shooting. I can hit center mass 7 out of 9 rounds, from
2 meters to 15 meters, in less than 4 seconds and the best I've
done is 2.3 seconds. I have drawn, aimed and fired when a robbery
happened. I did not miss.

My biggest fear is someone doing the big hammer prank where
they smash something that looks like a humans head, all red goop
goes flying and you are tired leaving the office and it's late already.
That would frighten me extensively to draw and fire.

I saw that video where the white kid pulled a gun asking for help
on some black kids, they had every right to shoot the white kid.
Darwinism at it's best I guess

I have a Coolpad Legacy CP3705A Android 9
I am always checking for updates and keep bloatware to the least amount.

Since about 8 or 9 weeks ago, I find the phone stalling or stopping.
interestingly enough, touching the button on the side to sleep and
waking brings it back to normal.

Might be a hint that android needs.

I was frustrated enough that I did a hard reset to my phone. and it was not solved.

Libertarians and other's will exploit all opportunity's. The development of the entitle people.
Karens and such. It's in the nature of being a human. Self interest. Why do you think people
have a love-hate relationship with condo boards or HOA's. they want the rules to be applied
to others but not themselves.

Interestingly put.
I would have worded the first line as,
They wrote : If companies force people back into the office
I would have written " If companies request the employees back to the office "

Again, I don't feel that you are forced to do anything that you don't want to do. it
does have a cause and effect ( no work, most likely no food ). I just won't let an
employer dictate the terms when opportunity abounds.

Most people with any sort of skill set can get a better paying job right now, the market
has proven it because ( observable data ), restaurant staff is younger ( high school level ),
more help wanted signs than ever before, job posting for skill sets in the computer fields
are all over ( I just was offered a Cobol coding offer because they found my Tel# on
some code I left )

My next door neighbor is making super bank doing web video porn. She would never
have thought of that unless the market brought it to her attention. My other neighbor is
a bottle girl, she's making 6000-8000 a week, She was a lawyer making 250K.

Opportunity abounds in Miami. I have been doing real estate in Miami for 20 years and
I've only saw this back in 1981-86 and it's freaking crazy.

have a nice day

In the context of this discussion: I am not forced to work for anyone, I developed multiple income
streams when the covid crisis happened. I never got government money. I was not forced into
anything. I choose to make the best of a bad situation. Took a while and I am no longer dependent
on any firm making a check for me.

You are choosing your own path, forging a route to your own success. Failure can happen and if
going back to an office is what you have to do to put food on the table then you do it.

I guess name calling is still a valid form defense from a 44 year old.

I look forward to your logic happening.

I also look forward to the taxes increasing in suburbia
because most of the cities that are out of major population
centers have similar utility features of the major population
centers. Problem is, they don't have the required tax base
and depend on state + federal subsidized help.

industry's that can provide more tax revenue.

that's really odd that you used the word force.
no one in the USA is forced by a company to work for them. The job requirements
for the pandemic required changes and they were made, after the pandemic, the
rules again will change.

You are not forced to accept them, you choose the greater benefits and make the
choice accordingly.

I went to look at the source.
interestingly enough it's narrow focus might be a start.
Phizer has another study ( further down ) that the sample group was 44000 which is a better study group overall.

Now as a reference point. the polio vaccine at the start was a 2 dose and later became a 3 dose. it was discovered that the second dose was 92-96% effective and the 3rd dose brought it to 99%+

So the thoughts of going to 3 don't seem to be outside of the realm of known applications.

Problem is, people are never taught about how to look at risk and without that education, people die stupidly.

For example. Most people have never thought of learning how to change a tire correctly. I actually teach it to anyone that wants to learn because it's a risky thing that can become less risky ( or almost entirely mitigated ) when shown all the right steps. ( I've seen people get hit by cars when changing the tire that is what made me learn how to do it correctly )

another example is : there are no known deaths of healthy children who got measles vaccine. it goes on to explain that rare cases of compromised kids have dies and those types should not be taking it ( source https://www.idsociety.org/publ... )

have a good evening.

Ok, that's a fucked up statement.
How do you double blind study this.
What the heck is the question asked that is valid for any faith person and those that have no views on faith or even the faithless.

I find your statement repulsive. Because, a true Christian would have to admit to the murders of the Inca empire and the Aztec's and then provide compensation. they would have to grant the right of free will to women. Slavery would have to be acceptable to them and they would have to get the government to approve it. There is no biblical statement about hurting gay people, so how do they live with gay people attacks and the murder's of abortion doctors.

to your point : If the person in question doesn't mind disclosure.

Someone tells you something, I always personally think it's in confidence until told otherwise.

Maybe your perspective is different. Just nobody's business what someone tells me and I let
that person speak on there own behalf. Keeps me out of other peoples bullshit and gossip.

Have a great day. And if you see me say hello.

I can see where you are coming from, yet, his father was a semi private man, and very successful.
I would rather guard a persons privacy than disclose. It's no one's business what anyone does ( Currently
in condo association they ask for tax returns and that's enough information being looked at by mostly
unqualified people). You are in the USA, which you are granted some rights to be able to stay private.
I exercise the right to not say anything about anyone unless someone's safety is concerned. And what
a man does is his business.

We have a secure parking lot with over 500 car's, you can walk up to anyone and have a friendly chat,
yet, because he is young, they have a problem approaching. Well the only way to know the make of a
  man is to walk up to him and extend your hand out and say hi ( it's even in my signature LOL ). if they
want to tell you, then they will, otherwise they won't and you'll have to live with that.

Get friendly or get going, it's been a good 2 years that people keep asking me and I keep telling them
it's none of there business. I forgot to mention, I text him afterwards that xyz asked about what he does,
being young, he's responded if he can dress like a street thug, or bring a lot of women over and see what
new gossip will happen, I told him I would tell his mom.
