Race aside, why isn't falsifying a report to the cops that your life is under threat treated a lot more serious? American cops have guns. You say someone is threatening your life means the cops are going to be on high alert most likely ready to draw and fire if needed.
So like, you're literally risking someone's life at the least to painting them as a target at worse.

I believe New York passed a law after that incident that specifically made that illegal.

But for a beginner it literally couldn't matter less unless you're trying to lift in sandals or platform shoes or something.

Its just unnecessary really.

Eh, I would say it does matter since there are benefits to wearing ideal footwear for the type of workout you're planning to do. Is it make or break? No, but ideal footwear for lifting is beneficial.

TC isn't competing here, afaik he's never even mentioned working out before.

Any flat soled shoe is fine. I prefer chucks or skate shoes to sneakers personally but look around the gym... even the most jacked dudes are rarely wearing shoes designed for weightlifting.

Heck I'd argue 90% of people in a gym are in basketball shoes or runners and its not doing them any harm.

Yeah, but he's specifically asking which shoes are best for weightlifting. You don't need to compete or have worked out before to wear ideal footwear for weightlifgting.

You don't need special shoes for weightlifting. Literally any decent sneaker or skate shoe is more than fine.

Nah, for weightlifting you generally want a rigid sole. Running shoes aren't as ideal for weight lifting.

I never said any of that, I never even said the 2 were comparable. I just said that due to everyone agreeing how wrong she is, there's no point in saying it again. And that his behaviour is still an issue and people are willingly ignoring it.

I think giving a stranger's dog treats without permission is a dick move, but in this situation, it's a dick move in response to her being a dick.

If you're out bird watching, an unrestrained dog can scare away birds you're trying to observe. Asking someone to put their dog on a leash is a simple way to address that concern.

It's not his responsibility to enforce the rules.

No, but asking someone to follow rules isn't giving yourself authority or acting like a Karen.

No, I'm using it correctly. He gave himself authority and tried acting on it. No one gave him or told him to do anything. He was a Karen. There's literally no other way to look at it.

He didn't give himself any authority. There are signs posted in the area that say you need to keep your dog on a leash and he was asking her to follow the posted rules.

Am I the only one asking why he had dog treats in his pocket?

https://www.npr.org/2020/05/26/862838384/an-avid-birder-talks-about-a-conflict-in-central-park-he-taped-and-went-viral

He was asked about this, specifically.

CHANG: And why do you carry dog treats while you're out birding?

C COOPER: Because when I'm out birding - exactly. Why would I, a non-dog walker, carry dog treats? Because over the years, that has proven the most effective way to get a recalcitrant dog owner to put their dog on the leash because they don't like it when a stranger feeds their dog treats.

Asking? He did more than ask. He was a Karen.

Asking people to follow basic rules isn't acting like a Karen, nor is it "acting with authority." Giving a dog treats isn't acting like a Karen.

You're missing the point. The issue is that he tried giving a dog treats without asking the owner. That's not ok.

It's also not his job to police people. No one gave him any authority. He's acting like a Karen.

Asking people to follow basic city ordinances is policing people now. What a world.

She's definitely problematic but so is he. That guy was definitely trying to start shit. If a random person tried giving my dogs treats without asking me, I'd get pretty mad too. You don't do that sort of thing.

LOL, sure he was trying to start some shit by telling her she needed to keep her dog on a leash

America - Where black people telling white people to follow civil ordinances is "trying to start shit."

tl:dr: USPS has lost 2 copies of my social security card and they aren't going to do anything about it.

I've been calling different parts of USPS for about 6 weeks and no luck.
  • Ordered a replacement social security card in June.
  • Informed Delivery shows a picture of every envelope I'm supposed to get in the mail. I saw the envelope from the Social Security Administration on the email for June 21st along with 3 other pieces of mail.
  • I received everything except for my social security card.
  • I opened a missing mail case and checked the box on the Informed Delivery app that tells them I didn't receive it.
  • USPS essentially threw up their hands and said there is nothing they can do.
  • The Social Security Administration (SSA) will only send them through USPS First Class Mail. I can't pay them to send it with a tracking number or through FedEx or UPS.
  • I gave up on that social security card and ordered another one.
  • Informed Delivery showed the 2nd one on July 16th along with 2 other pieces of mail.
  • I got everything except for the social security card again.
  • Checked the box on Informed Delivery and opened another missing mail case.
  • USPS threw up their hands again and said there is nothing they can do.
  • I ordered a 3rd social security card.
  • I escalated to the Office of the Inspector General, but they just told me to email them when I see the Informed Delivery email for the 3rd one... Still waiting on that.
  • A case was also escalated to the USPS Consumer Affairs office.
  • USPS Consumer Affairs called me on July 19th and said they would look into it and call me back in 3 to 5 business days.
  • 2.5 weeks later, they have not called me back. I've been leaving voicemails for a couple weeks to try to get an update, but no luck. Currently, the voicemail box is full, so I think they're ignoring a lot of people's voicemails. It has gone from being not full to full multiple times since a couple weeks ago.


So hopefully this 3rd one comes in. If it doesn't, then I may just have one sent to my mom's house and then just go get it the next time I go to Austin.

Also, I just talked to a manager at the local post office and he finally told me they know that they're having a problem getting people's social security cards and driver's licenses from the plant, but they don't know why. And pretty much nothing is being done about it because it has been happening for a couple years.

Sigh

Hopefully this 3rd one comes in.

Wrong. 13% is the total black population which isnt all men.

Unless there's white women playing in the NBA then it's still 13%
The person who said 6% specifically said black men, which would be around 6%.

I mean, it IS a fact that black people have less money than white people on average. For centuries, the United States intentionally tried to keep black people from earning wealth.
  • Slavery. Black people weren't even considered people. Weren't allowed to learn to read or write.
  • Jim Crow era. Black people weren't allowed to own homes in most areas or even rent apartments in most areas. Or go to most colleges.


Not to mention black people getting lynched by white mobs and having their families and property destroyed.

Not to mention the numerous race massacres that destroyed communities, black owned businesses, churches, etc. The burning of black wall street alone erased an untold among of generational wealth, and that's just one example out of many.

Not to mention all the black people who are still victims of a blatantly corrupt justice system and have been sitting in jail for decades for crimes they didn't commit. Some who get released are given paltry amounts of money by the states who failed them in "restitution."

Black people today still deal with their homes being appraised for much less value than the market in some areas.

Sounds like a trick

You do that because the wheel is more secured while it's on the ground. If you do it after you jack the car up, it may be rather difficult to loosen them if they were tightened too much because the wheel may turn instead of just the nut loosening.
