Woman Tries To Block access to Apartment

newtboy says...

Granted. As I wrote above, I think it's likely they both were telling the truth....her leash propped the door open, so he assumed it opened with his fob, she assumed he didn't use one. Neither noticed what the other was doing and both assumed the worst....difference being his assumption was she's a jerk requiring no action, her assumption was he's an intruder in her secure building, requiring action.

Because this is a safety issue and there had been numerous requests by management to under no circumstances allow a stranger into the building without using their fob, and he knew that, and all he would have to do is waive his hand with the fob still in it at the scanner instead of force his way past her physically and be rude and suspicious (showing a random fob doesn't prove a bit it's for that building without using it successfully).....for those reasons combined, I put the lion's share of blame on him.

The entirety of the insanely overboard consequences fell on her before anyone had even partial explanation of her side.

As I also said, I think she should have called police the instant he pushed past her and just followed him, but she wasn't trying to escalate things like I think he was.

I can't be certain of her motives, but I've stopped people from just pushing into my secure building when I lived in one, blacks, whites, Mexicans, men, women, even kids. I made them all use their key or buzz the apartment they were visiting. Had anyone acted like he did, pushing in like a burglar, I would not have been nearly as calm and composed as she was, even if they were a white child....they steal too.

I'm glad you think the reaction as overboard, at least we can agree this didn't warrant death threats on either side.

It's kind of impossible to take any kind of sensible position without knowing the context of both sides.

Just because she's married to a black guy doesn't mean she doesn't have a bias against other black guys. There are plenty of studies that show even other black people have an unconscious bias against black dudes. It's not just personal, it's cultural and systemic.

So yeah, maybe he wasn't "reasonable" and maybe he didn't feel like being reasonable. Maybe he'd had a shit day and didn't feel like being interrogated on the way into his own apartment.

He said he had a key fob and even showed it to her. You can clearly see it in the video.

And I can think she was in the wrong without condoning death threats against her.

Ted Cruz loves White Castle

moonsammy says...

I have access to many White Castle locations. I don't visit regularly, as the food isn't for meals, per se. At 2am, in one of the right states of mind, it is the food of the gods. Particularly the jalapeno sliders and mozz sticks.

Oh, and when they have them, the cheese curds are shockingly good.

Woman Freaks Out Over Encounter With Whales, Calls 911

Sagemind says...

Opportunity of a lifetime, and they bring the Buzzkill.
I'm sorry that she was scared, but Adult up a bit I guess. I just feel bad because those whales were just visiting.

On the flip side, I don't feel the need to go whale watching - I mean why tempt death.

Kavanaugh: No More Nineties Reboots, Please | Full Frontal

Mordhaus jokingly says...

When I was 18, I happened to be in Ottawa visiting a friend at the University. I was attending a party there and I was pretty smashed. I remember some woman attacking me, I'm pretty sure it was Samantha Bee. Thankfully I managed to stagger away drunkenly before she was fully successful.

I didn't want to bring it up before now, but I don't care for the way she is hassling rich white men, so I decided I needed to finally say something. Can we get the RCMP to investigate and get her show off the air in the meantime?

Yes, I know I have no evidence and it is my word versus hers, but why would I say something like this if it wasn't true? I know in the years since there hasn't been a hint of her trying to assault anyone else, but she probably is really good at hiding it or just buys them off.

In Australia lots of things can kill you ...but not AR15s

wtfcaniuse says...

The part where they say "at least we don't have an NRA" is wrong. We have the SSAA which is the NRA's retarded younger brother. The NRA helps fund the SSAA and influences politics and gun law in Australia the same as they do in the USA.

Also kangaroos will fuck you up and drown your dog. If you're a tourist visiting Australia please don't treat them like pets, even if other people are doing it. Stay the fuck away from the males.

Laxatives fed to Seagulls on the beach

newtboy jokingly says...

Naaaa, that's still abusing the seagulls, some probably to death.....but if you want to join me in a mass ultralight flyover after visiting Arby's.....

I don't know. I think if it was done when Chris Christie shut down the beaches in NJ for the public and then took his entire family and friends there for the day... I'm thinking, well played!

Olafur Eliasson - Architecture - Glass facade on Harpa

newtboy says...

Saw this after it was finished a few years back. It sure stands out when you drive past it. We didn't take the time to go in, we didn't want to take valuable time away from our visit to the Icelandic Phallological Museum just blocks away.

Rare Earth - The Country The World Says Doesn't Exist

admiralronton says...

I visited here on my last trip to Armenia. It's as stunning as the video shows. They didn't show the long cables hanging between mountains to catch low-flying helicopters. It's a different life, for sure.

The restaurants were awesome. Lots of BBQ. =]

But Intelligent People Believe in God...

heretic says...

Thanks for the reply. There's a part of me that wishes I had that much time to waste, but unfortunately not.

You're probably not interested in the details, but for what it's worth I first signed in during a time of heavy crunch at work. After that never really stuck around to become a member of the community, or any community for that matter. Work was taking its toll.

At the moment I'm getting ready to move country, again, so on the odd day I can spare some time. For whatever reason I ended up at an old site I used to visit (bluesnews) which lead me back here.

Now, back into hiding for X amount of years as work continues to beat me into submission

moonsammy said:

heretic, my concerns with the account being unused until extremely recently relate to the problem of trolls. It isn't uncommon for aged / unused accounts to a site to be sold for the sake of lending an appearance of authenticity to a user with negative intentions. Your account being a full 3 years old with no visible activity until now made me think you could simply be a troll, looking to foment discord. Videosift has a fairly pronounced agnostic / secular bias, so this is exactly the sort of topic a troll account could easily manipulate to cause arguing.

Having seen your subsequent comments in this thread, I'm fairly confident you're not a troll. Still seems odd to me you waited this long to put the account to any evident sort of use, but that's certainly not a problem in and of itself. Hell, my account is over 11 years old with thousands of votes and hundreds of comments, and I've not bothered to upload a user pic.
