Every time the NBA/ nfl thread starts talking bout bird rights, player exceptions, unconditional picks, salary cap % tied to year, dead cap hits, etc. my eyes glaze over
One of my friends did his senior thesis in college on the NBA salary cap rules I feel like explaining MLS’s cap would merit a PhD
We had a staff meeting outside today and when we came back in there were a bunch of pizzas that had been delivered. My boss rules
Got mugged tonight - not my first rodeo and really wouldn't care that much if not for the phone. That's such a fucking headache to get back to normalcy.
Saw an add on Twitter for Livenation concert week. 25 dollar shows. Clicked it, looked at tickets for 3 differential concerts and none of them were remotely closer to 25 bucks.
I’m chuckling to myself imaging a mugger holding a knife and going ok now settings, general, uhhh keep scrolling, iCloud? No. Back. Reset. There. Now erase all. What do you mean you don’t know your iCloud password? It’s just saved to your Face ID? Ok well fuck. Just give me your cash and cards. It’s all on Apple Pay? God damn it.
sorry that happened. - i've been wondering recently if i got mugged if I could just tell the guy 'hey man, it's a huge inconvenience for me to get a new phone and for you to sell it -- it'd be better for both of us if I just Venmo'd you. Instant cash for you, I don't have to deal with the logistics of setting up a new phone' but - they're probably not operating under that rational of a thought process and think you're trying to scam them back.
Pretty regularly have the Red Dawn type scenario dreams. But I feel like they've been getting more personal. Last night there was no fighting. They just showed up in a massive convoy and forced us out of the house saying we could come back later. But I overheard them planning to burn it to the ground.
Usually they make you log into the phone but this idiot didn't - so have fun ever getting access to the device. Fuck - watch this guy have a headshot of me or something.
face ID works by shooting a bajillion little IR dots at your face that the scanner converts into a 3D map. a photo will not work.
because you’re posting on here I assume you’re okay, therefore I’ll ask did you offer to suck their dicks in exchange for the phone?
He didn't do anything to me just showed me a gun so I took my license out of my wallet then gave him my wallet - gave him my phone - I'm already aware not to wear a watch anywhere right now so all in I'm just out a new iPhone and a wallet. I'm willing to get shot over having to go to the LA DMV again.
Also this was basically "stupid shit husbands do" I chastise my wife/gf anytime they hold their phone out openly while waiting for an uber because they're going to get robbed and I was doing exactly that.
I could see getting it swiped being a risk, but surely an armed robber will assume any non senior citizen will have a phone to steal. Unless I’m missing something.
Guarantee if I break out a Nokia I'm getting shot. They target people with new iPhones because they assume they also have cash.
