Most clothing and shoes sold in North America come from south and south-east Asia (China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and India mostly). The new tariffs will increase the prices on these items by 30-50% in the US (the new tariffs on the above countries - above the blanket 10% on all imports - are 34%, 46%, 37%, and 27% respectively). Consider doing your clothes shopping when you travel instead. Fill your luggage with clothing you want to get rid of and replace them with newly bought clothes (tags removed, of course).

How to make someone get spam calls, but only in the early AM?

On my main reddit account I am the top mod of a subreddit with about 10k members. Is there any way I can use it to my advantage? I am not living a good life right now and thinking of ways to levrage this mod position to gain some advantage. I am open to all sorts of experiments and advices.

I genuinely am getting so burnt out from my full time job and working out. I can manage the food sometimes but its so easy to just buy lunch instead of making your own. And please don’t suggest coke, I can’t afford that.

Edit: I work in an office, not from home :/ They don’t offer WFH or Hybrid either

I work in a hospital and recently came across this YouTube video of a nurse getting arrested. The video is about two years old, but I want to submit it anonymously to my manager. The nurse is not very nice towards staff and talks down to other staff members that are not a nurse. What is the best way to do this?

My company has started a new policy this year to work from office all 5 days a week and you can only get work from home if your manager approves of it. Also you cannot take more than 2 WFH in a month. This is very primitive and toxic tbh.

I wanted to go back to my parents place in the month of May for 2 weeks. I spoke with my manager about working from home for 9 days and taking leave on 2 days. But he refused for the same and told me that I can take all of those days as leave, but it shall be counted as LOPs.

Please tell me some hacks or tips through which I can get WFH for these days. Or if there are no hacks then tell me way through which I can let them know that my absence for 2 weeks will cause a huge issue.

Ps: medical reasons will not work. They know that everyone in my family is well also they ask for all the doctors reports which I cannot generate.

This is actually pretty simple - I own Peterthiel.gay. I would like to sell the website to someone who is wealthy and hates Peter Thiel. how would I do so?

But seriously.

So last weekend I had two men come to my house to view a car I’m selling. A car I drive daily to get to work. The buyer made contact through Autotrader and was quite pushy saying he basically wanted to come and look at the car and buy it and also mentioned a lower price. It took about 4 days of back and forth to finally land of a date & time for him to view the car.

I made a special effort to leave my mother’s house an hour early to be home for the time he stated he could do. Only to be told he was running an hour late as I got home. When he arrived at my house he had a friend in tow. It all seemed pretty normal. They looked around the car a bit (including in the engine bay), I started it up, we went for a short test drive (I drove). On the driveway and when we were in the drive the buyer said the engine sounded noisy and he’d do a service. I didn’t think much of it. He also didn’t want to go far at all, maybe 4 mins driving max. As I was parking back at my house he pulled a huge bundle of cash from his pocket and asked me where the V5 was. So I ran inside to get in. I literally ran, it took me all of 20 seconds.

Once I had the V5 he wanted to check the oil because of this noisy engine claim. I opened the bonnet. He and his friend removed the dipstick and claimed the oil was thin… this then led them to check the oil filer cap. Again, the same claim, thin oil. They were both now checking the engine bay in more detail. And came to the coolant expansion tank. He opened the lid, and pointed out oily residue, they then stuck a stick into the tank and when they pulled it out… it had about an inch of engine oil of it. The buyer said ‘Fuck, fuck fuck, the head gaskets gone. The engine is fucked’. I was shocked. The car doesn’t even get to halfway on the temp gauge and I had driven it for 2hrs that very day and nothing unusual.

At this point I said I would not sell the car if it was broken and I would take it to a mechanic friend to get it sorted. They were set on still buying it. They wanted to give me cash to get it fixed and then come down to get it when it was done, or they would just take it on a trailer for a reduced price.

They then asked me to turn the car back on, so I tired, all of a sudden it wouldn’t fire. The car always starts first time. Even after leaving it a week (it’s a 15 year old car). The friend said can he try. He proceeded to hammer the start button trying to get the car to turn over but it wouldn’t fire. So we all went to the engine bay and the friend pulled the dip stick, he asked me to shine my torch on it, because at this point it was dark and I had it out to look in the engine bay. Th friend was adamant he needed the torch on the dip stick but all I could see was the buyer fiddling with something in the air intake.

Something clicked in my head right then. I had been a bit ‘deer in headlights’ since the oil in the coolant tank. But suddenly I realised. I’m being scammed. I didn’t know how exactly but I needed time to look at the car and figure it out alone.

I told them to leave my property, instantly they said I was being rude and said they still wanted the car and we could come to some deal. I told them again to leave and they got nasty. Saying I wasted their time etc etc.

I went back out to the car once they had gone and where the buyer was fiddling was the Mass Air Flow sensor. It looked plugged in. So I tried to start the car. It started first time.

It’s been a week since this happened and I have since come to believe that when I left them for 20 seconds they put oil in my coolant tank AND my radiator, then unplugged the MAF sensor to get me to sell my car cheap. I’ve flushed the coolant and it’s all fine.

TLDR; a guy poured oil in my cars coolant tank in an effort for me to sell it to him very cheap. I just got away with not falling for it.

DON’T LEAVE YOUR CAR OPEN AND UNATTENDED. I learnt the hard way.

I have this guys number… that’s all. No name nothing else. I have reported it to Action Fraud and Autotrader. But I want to sign this number (+44 7349 748513) up to as much as I can. Does anyone know how I can do that in the U.K.?

Any workarounds?

I want to get a bunch of instant mashed potato flakes into a garden so that when it rains they have mash everywhere, but I don’t have access.

I had the idea of creating mash discs, but obviously I can’t use water to freeze it into shape.

Any ideas how I can hold the mash flakes together to form discs that I can frisbee into the garden? Or alternative ways to get instant mash over the hedges? I don’t have a drone unfortunately.

I have no health insurance and am studying to be a radiology technologist. Do great on one on one competency exams,not so great on exams. My instructor,when asked for advise, said if I could show a diagnosis of anxiety I could take the tests solo and have longer to take them. Called an exemption. How can I get a diagnosis for this with no health insurance?

The Context:

I'm running an early-stage startup with limited funding, as we bootstrapped the development costs ourselves without investors. One of our core tasks involves transcribing handwriting into a database -- nothing complicated, but it needs to be done accurately and at scale.

The Request:

I’m looking to find remote workers who are comfortable doing this kind of repetitive task for an unethically low amount of pay per-task (we're talking a few cents per entry). Ideally, they'd be reliable, take direction well, and be available on short notice when new batches of work come in. Basically, people who have no other choice but to do a task like this for money.

I’m not trying to be exploitative, just realistic given the budget constraints of a lean startup. Any tips for where or how to find workers who are okay with this kind of setup long-term?

Bonus points if they're in the US and can speak English.

How do I snag super underpriced deals on FB marketplace or other platforms WITHOUT tipping off the sellers about what a good deal they are?

I’m good at finding deals. I know my stuff about vintage furniture.

But It happens many times I show interest and ask them questions about the item, and then they don’t reply and the next day I see them quadruple the price to the actual value.

Eg I saw a bunch of vintage chairs worth $1500 each and on sale for $20 each. I asked to buy and offered to pick up immediately or the next day.

No reply, then next day they changed the piece to $1500 each.

It’s so frustrating! It has happened many times!

Am I doing something wrong?

What phrases can I use?

Do I stop asking questions?

How do people snag these amazing deals?

So I got fired from McDonald's a few months ago. Wasn't hirable but I found a loophole!

So if you're not hirable, the Olivia robot won't work on regular safari. But if you do incognito, it's suddenly working again!

The application will work again like normal. Spell your name differently and use a different phone number of a friend.

It worked for managers who said they've been let go from other McDonald's and even with do not rehire still get hired back.

To be up front, I am visibly and outwardly Jewish. I had a JW in my town walk up to my door and try to leave literature. I said I didn't want it because I was Jewish. They went onto public records and got my girlfriend's name and started sending us letters like every week. A bunch of events, saying they can't come to our door since we didn't ask but they figured they'd still reach out, etc.

How can I get back at them? They have a locked-up building that's technically on my street, but you have to go through a gate that you call into to get through. I don't know where any of them actually live, other than that building that they come through. How can I royally fuck up their day/week/year and/or get them to stop contacting me?

Is there anything I could do if my boss (who was a good friend before they got promoted) went behind my back to adjust my hours to avoid giving me overtime pay if I had allowed them to do it once before?

For context, we have always been told that overtime is a huge no no. We aren’t even allowed to go one minute over and we are intentionally scheduled 39 hours to avoid overtime. However, I have been working a huge project and am scheduled a 10-7 overnight but I had discussed with my manager that I had preferred to come in at 8 and just take longer lunches because the company doing the physical work comes in then and I’d just prefer being with them in case they need something and we can make our daily plans together and coordinate. I do still end up technically working on my lunch breaks anyway but I’ve been fine with it. The tricky part is that I had to have my manager fix my schedule multiple times during the week because I would forget to clock back in from lunch. And the week before that, I did allow her to adjust my schedule to avoid her getting in trouble with my overtime. However, I did not get her to adjust it last week and when I clocked out, I was a couple hours over 40. I had just checked today and saw that she adjusted the hours to avoid overtime again, without discussing it with me first. I know this is usually illegal but not sure how to go about it if I’ve been willingly working off the clock anyway, have allowed her to do it before and I don’t have concrete evidence that she did it

Anyone dealt with sneaking around and extended warranty before? I bought a synth second hand that stopped working after about a month. I asked the person I bought it from to contact the company he bought it from and ask about a return, which he did, and they are prepared to honor, but the problem is the warranty is non transferable. He also already emailed asking if they could ship it to me instead :( Anyone ever dealt with a similar situation or have any ideas? Best I can come up with is having him tell them he’s staying with a friend and have the return shipped to him c/o me at my address

This is unethical because I'm looking for something that I can "half ass" while on the clock for another remote job. Something where they expect you to work 20-40 hours a week, but you're only actually working 10-20.

If it helps at all, I do have a bachelor's degree in economics but I'm guessing most/all of these jobs are not jobs that require a degree.

Are you sick of being made to stop at the store exit and show your receipt as if you're guilty until proven innocent? Make it awkward.

After you leave checkout, you need to look distracted. I examine my receipt closely for errors, because that's how mama raised me, but you could be talking on the phone, reading the back of the shampoo bottle you just bought, etc.

"May I see your receipt?"

I respond, either not looking up from the receipt or glancing at the person momentarily: "Thanks, you too!" and keep walking.

If I'm feeling extra chaotic: "I love you, too." Works great on boomers.

This works best when there isn't already a line of sheep waiting to have their receipts checked, but I still make it work. I shop infrequently enough that they haven't caught on.

You could also just ignore them and walk right on by, but that's no fun.

If you're like me, you've practiced being awkward your whole life. Put those skills to use!

Hey everyone, so long story short I need to move out of my apartment by the end of the month and I'm unemployed currently. Everywhere I look they require 2.5 times the rent to even be considered. If I make some fake pay stubs will they find out? Do they actually check? I can afford the rent I just don't currently make 2.5 times that and I'm limited on time

My apartment buildings gym that I have to pay to go to has two of the shittiest tvs ever. I tried to get a model number but couldn’t find one. They are so old and have to be 720p or worse. Looking for help on how to get decent new ones. Thank you.

Long story short I work for a nursing home I try to make sure I go out of my way to not only help the residence I'm assigned to, but also the help other people's residents especially when we are short staffed.....and if you've ever worked for nursing home that seems to be the norm. Anyway I got a reprimander for helping another resident and then I got reprimanded for the daycare calling and me having to leave to get my kid early apparently I have to have find coverage before..... The list goes on but I'm sick of it and I'm ready to be out but I want to leave with a bang.

I've heard of people from the military would marry a stranger just to get a netter health plan, also it's kinda of a common knowledge that people get married for visas, double nationality, filling taxes and etc. So where do you find those? Are they on craigslist? Is there a subreddit about it with tips and plans?

Posting here cause it's obviously unethical (let's not focus on criminal) but still I would do it if it's all just a contract.

I got in a car accident and realized afterward I didn’t get clear photos of the license plate and insurance card. I want to file an insurance claim but I need more vehicle info.

What I know: -Driver’s full name and birthday -Driver’s social media (does not have car photos sadly) -Vehicle make and color -Driver approximate location (can likely find address online)

How can I find their license plate given the info I have right now??
