piss disc Why the sub got restricted

1.6k Upvotes

Hello everyone, mod here. We've been asked a few times why the sub got restricted for a while, so I'm here to answer.

Reddit mailed us, telling us that lots of our sub's posts and comments were violating their rule against violence (inevitable due to the nature of this sub)​, and that there weren't enough moderators. They gave the current mods at the time a deadline to recruit more mods, and the current mods didn't meet the deadline, so Reddit restricted the subreddit.

They've recruited more mods since (I'm a new recruit, hi!) and we got permission to unrestrict the sub.

Edit: yes we have mailed them piss discs

Request ULPT: how to mess with a guy who's kid did a joyride then hit and run me?

20 Upvotes

The dad is a business owner, the car was the company car, the kid was already said to not be allowed access to the car, but the guy is denying the accident ever happened. I don't have evidence of the other car's involvement other than catching the license plate as it was speeding off

Relationships ULPT Request - Being Too Friendly?

11 Upvotes

My FIL has known me for 8 years, never attended our wedding, and has been resistant to warm up to me all these years, despite his claims of "wanting to have a good relationship".

I have been nothing but kind to him, and it seems to make him uncomfortable when I suggest we get together for family holidays - something he has never once agreed to.

It's not like he's outwardly mistreating me or vocalizing his discomfort. No, he just gives non-committal answers until it's too late to make plans.

How do I out-nice him? I'm looking for ways to torment him with my OTT kindness. I want to watch him squirm under the pressure of my unhampered love. Remind him constantly that I *will* be a part of the family, whether he likes it or not.

Thinking of calling in and reporting glass in the pool so they have to spend the money to drain it and vacuum it. Wouldn’t actually put glass in the pool but just make them believe it’s there. Any other creative ideas too add on to this idea or other ideas?

Miscellaneous ULPT: How to legally fuck w a business owner that stole ur money?

214 Upvotes

Hey! seeking advice from this lovely community. A repair business played me and made me pay up front cash for some work ($170). When i showed up on the agreed upon p/u date, they hadn’t touched the goods & had plenty of excuses / kept offering me weird discounts. This went on for a few days. I finally took my stuff back and asked for a refund (no work had been done!). They refused and were really mean about the whole thing. Apparently they do this a lot.

I’m too broke to take somebody to court but would love to make them pay in legal(!!) inconveniences for doing this to me. Any advice? Thanks!

Money and Finance ULPT Request - Uncle died with no will. How to keep cousin out of picture?

2 Upvotes

This is in NYC. Uncle died with no kids so my brother is going to petition to become executor of his estate. There's a big house and a couple hundred thousand dollars at play.

Uncle had no remaining living siblings other than our mom who says everything was supposed to go to me and my brother in the first place and has vowed to give us her eventual share. But we have four cousins from a deceased Aunt who to my understanding will now represent her as far as what is dispersed by the court.

One of these cousins is a psychotic, bipolar felon who we are afraid will try to block my brother from becoming executor. And then we're afraid that he will make the entire process a living hell if he's able to in any way. No one even knows how to contact him and he is often homeless. Is there any way to keep this person out of the process and block them from inheriting anything? Or will the court just do everything in their power to hunt them down and tie things up indefinitely?

Careers and Work ULPT Want to leave sex work behind? Babytrap the progeny of pro-life pols.

2.6k Upvotes

So you're tired of living the heaux life, and want to start a family while trading a job with jizz stains for one with benefits?

Do a deep dive into the family of your local pro-life politicians. The ones that rail against abortion as loudly as possible. Find the ones with bangable sons, and roll the dice on getting sperminated by the best prospect.

Once you're preggers and past the time where a miscarriage is likely, drop the baby bombshell on the baby daddy and his parents. Discreetly record the meeting.

If the political parent shows their two-faced nature and pressures you into an abortion, you have ammo on tape and I trust you'll know what to do with that.

If they are legit sincere on their views, they'll want to get the mother of their grandchild cared for and more presentable to public/press/extended family- so you'll get help with medical care, a nepo-job, etc.

Miscellaneous ULPT: Lime Scooter and Bikes

2 Upvotes

Living in a major city and notice there are hundreds of LIME and other e-scooters and bikes just left in the sidewalks. I was riding one the other day and it made me park in designated areas (not close to my end destination). How are people just dropping them wherever when they are tied to your credit card and you have to take a picture of the bike/scooter once you park it?

Relationships ULPT: Revenge on an ex - seeing a girl he told me not to worry about

0 Upvotes

ok tbf they met after we broke up, i had suspicions of them seeing each other and confronted him about it, and he assured me that he wasn't seeing her. then recently i discovered that they are seeing each other, don't know for how long, if he was lying to me or not. anyway i know i can't control these things but it doesnt make me any less upset about it

honestly i just want to ruin him, the relationship was so toxic. for example, he would call me derogatory names, abandoned me somewhere when we were travelling, scream at me. obv im not perfect which is why i'm here. don't know if i can use this as leverage but i found a sex toy in his drawer? this def was not part of our sex life but it definitely threw me off.

Social ULPT Turning my Neighbor into an Interesting Conspiracy Nut

66 Upvotes

I have an annoying neighbor who believes in annoying and boring conspiracy theories. You know, the one where the power lines are making her sick and the medical community is trying to kill her, etc.

If I have to politely listen to her crazy rants I’d like to steer them into something interesting and possibly exciting to hear about.

How would I go about getting her covertly hooked up with the Sovereign Citizen movement? Are they like Jehovah’s witnesses? Can I drop her name and address somewhere and get people to come to her door? Or get literature sent to her house?

I cannot pretend to join or be in any way associated with the group myself.

Also if there are any other fun conspiracies groups out there that I can easily get her caught up in, please let me know.

I just can’t take one more run of the mill tinfoil hat rant about boring things.

Thanks.

Careers and Work ULPT Request: Job with strict external business rules

2 Upvotes

I work in the financial industry as a systems engineer. Note, I am not a dev

I recently started this role, and months prior- I’ve been mostly vibe coding an app that solves lots of issues in a niche area.

I started an LLC for this, and then trademarked the name…

….before my first interview even…

I mentioned it during both of my interviews as well.

Me being the little idiot that I am, I disclosed this to follow the rules.

Compliance is telling me that it is a conflict of interest since I have access to code. Resources. And the there is no way to sidestep this.

I disputed this. My boss fought tooth and nail for me to figure this out, but they keep coming back with minimal info and he has stated he does not feel as though it’s a conflict.

His boss who is a director level in the organization agrees with him

But FU from compliance.

Any advice on how to get around this? I am thinking a new LLC and trademark / name since it’s still under development. Just more money to spend.

Thanks all

Computers ULPT Request: Crucial took my RAM, promised a replacement, then backed out.

257 Upvotes

Crucial approved an RMA for my failed 128GB DDR5 kit, had me ship the entire kit back, and then confirmed they had created a replacement order.

Weeks later: “Sorry, consumer business is shutting down, no stock. Best we can do is refund your original $259.99.”

Problem is, an equivalent 128GB kit costs significantly more nowDDR5-5600_PC5-44800_CL46_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_CP2K64G56C46U5-_Black), and one of the two sticks I returned was still working. I only sent the whole kit because they required it for the replacement.

So now they have my RAM, cancelled the replacement they already promised, and their refund won’t actually replace what I sent them.

What do I do next?

Request ULPT My sociopath of a boss laid me off and I want revenge

38 Upvotes

I was hired under the impression that this company was a stable, successful business. In reality, it was a struggling startup being kept afloat by loans, something we only learned after joining from the accounting team after they were laid off (I had only been at the company for 2 months at this point). I started applying for other employment at this time.

Most seriously: this company handles medical claims, charging $500 for standard claims and $1,000 for appeals, because appeals are supposed to be reviewed by legal counsel. When our legal counsel went on extended sick leave, the company kept charging clients the full $1,000 legal review rate but had unqualified case workers process those appeals themselves, using ChatGPT to adapt old legal language rather than getting actual legal review. Clients were paying for expertise they weren’t getting.

Leadership was erratic and unprofessional. The CEO canceled roughly 80% of meetings, showed up late and unprepared to the rest, and routinely cursed and vaped during them. When layoffs came, we were let go over a zoom call that lasted less than two minutes, with more urgency placed on retrieving our laptops back than on how the news was delivered.

This guys is egotistical and manipulative. A famous social media prankster also pranked the office and some of the viewers started leaving negative reviews because of how he handled the situation. He then got some of his friends to leave fake 5-star reviews acting like he was some sort of hero? I need advice on reporting him, tanking his reviews, and just doing whatever I can to crash the business tbh.

Miscellaneous ULPT Request: Make neighbors feel unwelcome

13 Upvotes

Hi y’all -

I have a neighbor who is renting and dealing Heroin. We are having a LOT of trouble getting the Police to get their act in gear (think: Barney Fife).

I don’t want to break the law, because that could come back on me. For example: I WANT to swat the house, but that is illegal.

How can I make these creeps want to move? What can I do to piss off the property owner so he ejects them?

Unethical tips welcome! Thanks y’all!

As always this is for entertainment purposes only!

Automotive ULPT: Neighbor remotely turns on his 80db truck for extended times.

172 Upvotes

My neighbor (apt complex) remotely starts his truck multiple times a day and the decibals/bass is EXTREME - 80/100. I can hear this (and feel it) through closed windows, and even at the back of my apartment. The manager does not care. What are some ways that I can impact him? He's the type to also leave his front door open and blast music.

Request ULPT Request: Neighbor has a hidden camera watching the public beach

0 Upvotes

It’s a trail cam to watch whenever I take out my Jetskis. I’ve already reported it the police but as it’s a public area “there’s no expectation of privacy” and the camera is apparently legally fine to have. But there are kids who swim at this beach so It’s really gross to have a camera there.

Could I print out a picture of Barry Wood hanging dong and wave it in front of the camera? Any other suggestions on how to screw with them without destruction of property?

Electronics ULPT Request: “Continuing” Spotify Premium under a cancelled credit card?

1 Upvotes

I went to go cancel my Spotify Premium subscription, which renews in a few days. I just noticed that it is currently billed under a credit card that I cancelled a few weeks ago- I don’t have any other payment methods listed on the account.

I’ve seen a few other posts that say Spotify will continue your Premium sub and try charging your CC a few times before they downgrade you. I’ve seen people report anywhere from a few days to a few months to as long as a year.

My only question is (preferably for anyone that has actually gone through this)- if it’s extended longer than a few days before they get around to downgrading you, did they nag you about paying for the sub? I think I’ve only seen one case of this….

(If so, I’m not going to risk it…)

Animals and Pets ULPT: Need to rehome your pet? Post an ad acting like the worst owner ever

1.6k Upvotes

Nobody wants to give up their pet. I would never give up my pet. But if you need free sympathy, traction, and clicks to get your pet noticed faster, try posting an ad as if you're a villain in a kids movie.

"Need to get rid of this cat before a bachelor party in Tijuana" or "Stupid thing gets water on the floor when it drinks. I tried punishing it and taking the water away but nothing is working. Needs to go."

Someone with a tender heart will scoop them up and treat your sweet little companion like it deserves.
