Such great games.

My friends and I were too poor/parents weren't nerdy enough to get into PC gaming. So we had red alert set up on two PlayStation 1s with a link cable, and two big ass CRTs pointed opposite of each other.

A wise man once said, "life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone."

If by weird you mean awesome.

Even though your day is ruined, you made my day with this perfectly crafted insult. Thanks.

If someone can't handle basic social circumstances, that person shouldn't be public facing. It's the basic job description.

There is a gigantic difference between handling basic social circumstances and acting like a complaining customer's best friend or family member.

The basic job description for most of these retail places in regards to customer service is to answer simple questions and refer people to management if they have an issue with the store or product. If you are doing more than this as a basic retail clerk, you should ask for a promotion.

I am not saying to be rude, at all. Just don't do more work than what you are being paid for. Maybe you live in a place that pays retail employees fairly, and the effort is worth it. I most definitely live in a place that does not pay them enough to deal with some of that crap.

Yea, I mean I didn't show up at my retail job to socialize if that's what you mean. I didn't say that anyone should be rude to anyone, just that they shouldn't have to act like a concerned family member or whatever the other comment said.

Your tips are good if the customer is rational, or if the compensation is worth the effort of that.

I've worked a lot of retail, and sometimes there are just irrational people, though. Many angry customers do deserve the bare minimum. I'm not going to sympathize with them if their problem is their own fault, or if it is something minor that wasn't anyone's fault. I'm also not doing it if they want to be rude about it.

Some jobs also don't pay their employees or give them enough benefit to do more than the bare minimum. These kind of jobs are not worth the stress or mental energy.

As far as gravel and dirt roads go, a Subaru, or just an SUV with 4 wheel drive is going to perform better off road. Pickup trucks have stiffer suspension, and larger overhangs with the truck bed that require them to be lifted higher to get the same clearance as other non-pickup style off road vehicles.

If they aren't being utilized for their stowage or towing capacity, then they are being underutilized, as there are just better vehicles for off road use.

Personally, I'd take a Subaru sedan with all wheel drive over a pickup truck, for a place like Michigan.

Holy crap I've always wanted an Acty, but I thought they would be more expensive to import and what not. Thank you so much for posting this link!

Seeing I_Fart_Glitter respond in a comment chain started by SatansMaggotyCumFart is a Lemmy moment I will remember for the rest of my days.

Thank y'all for your service.

I imagine that the Ukrainians have a lot of extra blue and yellow tape laying around for uniform and vehicle identification purposes, so it made sense to use for a quick blindfold in this situation.
