What should I do?

Anybody know why we say the "y"? I don't think there's any other ?-u-k-e that has it.

So, this happens to me all year long. Not a week goes by when I'm not making several calls for someone or other dealing with some large institution that is screwing them over. Some times its personal, more often than not it's business. This is rarely for me personally, because I refuse to do business with these kinds of organizations.

Mom is elderly and a little hard of hearing. Plus she gets confused. She has been trying for over a year to change the auto-billing account for her phone plan but every time she calls them they demand information from her that is completely unnecessary and refuse to help her if she won't provide it. She's trying the same thing with her cable provider with a similar story. She wants to manage her own affairs independently but every time she calls some asshole in some 3rd world country makes sure that she can't get done what she needs to get done. So she turns to me for help.

Now, when I call during my working day tomorrow (and between the hold times and the bullshit they will make that call take FOREVER) I realize that the person who takes my call will have had nothing to do with any of the conversations that happened previously. Still, I'm not inclined to be too polite about this. I'm inclined to kick some ass. I don't have any ethical problem with this. What do you think?

Is it ethical to give employees a hard time.... : r/Ethics

Do they keep going on about Trump? Do they transfer their obsessive rage to President Vance? Do they just disappear?

Doesn't seem like Joe is going to last too much longer. I wonder what DT is going to say after he's gone?

Belvedere. It really is that simple.

I will disagree with some of what is written in this article but I will agree with the conclusion. Belvedere is the best widely-circulated vodka on the market.

We Asked 3 Bartenders to Name the Best Vodka—They All Picked the Same One

All present, including band leader Sam Taylor, insist that it was Otis Redding himself who was whistling on the take that became the single. It was supposed to be a lyric, but the song wasn't really "finished" yet, according to Redding's way of thinking.

Otis Redding wasn't the best whistler and the whistling on that take sounds remarkably like Sam Tayor. Alternate takes are available on Youtube that demonstrate this.

Did everyone present misremember? Accidentally? Or did they all collude to tell an honorable lie Did Redding just get it right for that final take? Did some engineer involved after Redding's death replace the whistle with someone else's (perhaps his own) and not tell anybody?

When referring to individuals who insist on using that pronoun?

Hi - I ran in high school and my father was a track and field/cross country coach for 40 years. I've never been to a college cross country meet. I think it would be fun for him to go to one or 2 college meets this year with Dad, but he doesn't have the mobility to stand for long periods of time or walk around a lot.

I'm looking at some of the college courses and they seem to have bleachers and maybe places I could set up a chair to watch.

Is it realistic to take him to some of these if the weather is good?

The walking can be an issue. Not only can he not run around the course to watch from different vantage points, but he also can't make a long walk from the parking lot to some field somewhere.

I'm in the New York Area. I'd be fine travelling by car a few hours to go to a good meet.

Thank you for any answers or information anyone may provide.

We were on Randall's Island yesterday and he really enjoyed the Steeplechase. Got me thinking.

Colonel Klink - he had a clause in his contract that he could sever if the writers ever wrote a story that did not make the Nazis look like complete idiots. He was Jewish, of course.

Anne Bancroft was 36 when the Graduate was filmed.

Katharine Ross was 27.

Dustin Hoffman and Katharine Ross are still alive and healthy (at last report) and living in the LA area. Somebody get them together to take a picture at that church.

Term comes from Malay Orang (person) Hutan (forest). The Malay used it to refer to people living in the forest. Westerners repurposed it for the animal.

I just had a feeling when I dipped my toe that I would be calling the grammar police.

I typed this and I looked at it for a long time and then I posted it because I thought it looked right.

Did I make a mistake? I think it looks right but I'm not quite sure why.

The Graham Plattner story has got me thinking.

What are the ethics of revealing the identity of someone who reasonably expected to remain anonymous?

I guess we all expect and wish to remain anonymous, but what it sounds like we are to understand that an AI analysis of our posts combined with a public records search is likely to reveal our identity to anyone who wants to take the time to do it.

Presumably this could be commoditized and available to anyone as a service to find the ITRW identity of any Reddit poster (or, at least, most) for an affordable price in a very short period of time.

Everyone is upset about what he wrote on Reddit - but all statements are included without context and nobody is recognizing any ethical concerns about outing him.
