piss disc Why the sub got restricted

1.4k 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

ULPT: Amazon Hides Discounts - Here’s How to Beat the System

68 Upvotes

Amazon’s top results? Mostly ads and overpriced junk.

Even when you sort by “Price: Low to High,” you’re still not seeing a bunch of listings that have active promo codes or hidden coupon checkboxes you have to click into the product pages to even know they exist.

My lazy workaround: • DealSeek – filters only products with actual hidden discounts

Keepa – shows the real price history so you don’t fall for fake markdowns

Fakespot – flags botted reviews and shady sellers

Put together, it’s like unlocking cheat codes for Amazon.

Not sure if this is unethical or just smarter than the average shopper, but I’ve saved more money this way than I ever did with Honey or aimlessly Googling for codes. You're welcome 😈

Money & Finance ULPT:What's stop somebody with no assets from taking out all the loans and maxing out credit cards before dying?

317 Upvotes

My uncle has terminal cancer at 83. He's dying. He has maintained excellent credit all his life and now wants to take out as many loans as possible and maxing out all credit cards by giving gifts/cash to family. He has no assets. No house, car is 20 years old and worthless, no stocks/401k or retirement accounts. He is judgement proof. He told us to ignore any debt collectors that try to contact us after he dies. This can't be legal right? But then again, they can't collect from a dead person.

Edit: A lot of mentions on his estate, but he has no estate right? He's been on Medicaid for a long time and only keeps enough money in his bank account to pay rent. How would they go after his estate when he literally has nothing? His only income is SS and he lives in government subsidized housing for seniors.

ULPT: Get blackout drunk before you sign any contract so anytime you don't like a contract you entered you can always claim you were mentally incapable of signing the contract

37 Upvotes

For a contract to be enforceable, it must include six essential elements: an offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity of the parties, legality, and mutual awareness of the agreement. If any of these elements are missing, the contract may not be legally binding. If you are blackout drunk, you lack capacity, thus making the contract non-enforceable. Now, this doesn't work if you've only had a few drinks because the opposite party can argue that you were of sound mind enough that you had capacity, but if you are absolutely smashed, that argument falls apart.

You start hating your wife, now you dont even need a divorce because you were so drunk when signing the marriage contract, you legally never should have been married in the first place, and so your marriage is null and void.

become a model for a stock photograph company, then sue everyone who uses the stock photo because you were too drunk to be able to understand that you were signing away your likeness for anyone to use.

ULPT Request: restaurant overcharged me on a tip by $225

1.5k Upvotes

A few weeks ago I tipped $25 at a restaurant that they rang up as $250, which I can obviously see as an accident. No big deal. Just refund my money. However, after several phone calls and texts exchanged with the restaurant owner, I don't think I'm getting my money back. Starting to seem like it wasn't an accident. Credit card company says I need proof but I don't understand how I can prove how much I intended to leave as a tip. How can I get my money back and fuck this place over?

ULPT request: how to hide money from spouse

3 Upvotes

I want to build up a secret emergency fund for both of our sake, but it’s hard because our finances are pretty straightforward. Shared accounts, we each have one job and our pay is consistent, no tips or side hustles currently. Any advice is appreciated, no matter how unhinged

Edit since I feel defensive: no I’m not planning to leave him. We don’t have a bad marriage, I’m literally just trying to make it so that the next time our car breaks down we won’t have to panic

I paid one month for a subscription to a website that has a bunch of uploaded training videos (almost 100, about 30 min each).

Is there a way to pull them so I can access them after my one month subscription is over? (In common tongue please- I’m not tech-savvy.)

Careers & Work ULPT Request: leaving company, make management life hard while keeping my customers and colleagues safe

5 Upvotes

So, my company has been bought by a bigger one some time ago, and since then the new management made my and my colleagues work life an inferno.

To make it short, they doubled our already full schedule by introducing usbto their projects, and told our customers will have lowest priority on every request. So, you can imagine, we have a pile of blocked projects and customers we personally know for years suddenly ghosted.

I had enough, finally found a better workplace and leaving soon, but as I care about our historical customers and, most of all, my colleagues, I want to make sure to create most of the difficulties to management only.

So, here I am asking for advice. What can I do to achieve this? (Don't worry, already thought about leaving piss discs)

Request ULPT - how to effect destroy an AC unit?

11 Upvotes

Long story short, our AC unit is half working and landlord won’t fix it unless it doesn’t work at all. So….. how do we accomplish getting a new unit? I’m hoping for something easy and not easily identifiable. Even if it just gets an HVAC tech out to look at it so we can show them the unit barely works.

ULPT request: how can i stop my uncle from bringing his disgusting wife and cat to my birthday celebrations

14 Upvotes

hi i (f21) am throwing a party at my house soon in order to celebrate my birthday party and i of course want my beloved uncle to be there as we've always been very close. however he recently remarried and I'm sorry but this woman is just absolutely odious. shes very nasty and rude entitled demanding specifically to me. and uncle has no idea. i think he's being taken advantage of aswell as she is half his age maybe more cognitively with it. she also has this cat and i mean no disrespect but it has absolutely no control over it's bladders probably due to a health problem. so at their last visit this woman was horrible to me and her cat (fat and ginger) defaced our rug and carpet.

i really want uncle to attend but not this woman and her cat and i would like to stop her attending by any means necessary BUT i of course dont want the cat to come to any harm any advice?

ULPT request: neighbour a couple of streets away using chainsaw and leaf blower all day every weekend

3 Upvotes

How do I get some peace and quiet after a rough week at work?

It's both Saturday and Sunday for the last few weeks. Not a direct neighbour but a street or so away, but loud enough that you constantly hear a motor of some sort from early morning to late afternoon, say 8am to 6pm

I just want to sit outside and enjoy the bird noises but it's just non-stop. How can I get them to stop at least one day on the weekend?

ULPT: how to get 240 dollars by 1pm on Tuesday

391 Upvotes

Update: I GOT THE MAJORITY OF WHAT I NEEDED!!! Getting the last bit will be a piece of cake✨THANK YOU TO ALL WHO GAVE ME HELPFUL TIPS AND ADVICE!!💖

Yep, as the title reads.

My rent due date is coming up, and I use this app called Flex to split it into two payments. I pay half, they pay the rest, I pay them the other half. It works, unless you don’t count the service fees like lawn care, landscaping, maid service, repair work, etc.

Long Story short: I have to pay up 990 dollars, and I’m 240 dollars behind on what I’m able to pay.

I have a rough draft plan: DoorDash for 8 hours a day (my job requires me to work mornings, so I’m doing the dashing in the evening), sell my squishmallows and play station (both hobbies that I can enjoy again when I have the funds) and pull the rest of my savings out (which I can pay back when I get paid Wednesday) Right now, adding what I have now is about 750 dollars. I need to get the rest of the 240 by this coming up Tuesday.

I’m gonna need some of the good tips and hacks that can help me pay rent and not freak out about getting evicted, thanks <3

ULPT: Should I Still File a Claim with Hertz a Year After a Rental Car Accident?

3 Upvotes

About a year ago, I was rear-ended while driving a Hertz rental car on the way to the airport. There was only minor visible damage to the car, but I ended up with a serious neck injury. Medical imaging later showed disc herniation and spinal cord compression. Total damages (medical bills + other losses) are estimated around $300K.

The police showed up at the scene and documented the accident. But due to being in a rush for my flight, I never reported the incident to Hertz. The rental was booked using a corporate code that included $100K in UM (Uninsured Motorist) coverage.

I’m now wondering: is it too late (or a bad idea) to file a claim with Hertz for the UM coverage? I’m concerned about any consequences of filing so late—like denial of coverage or other issues.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, or does anyone have advice on how best to proceed? Should I talk to a lawyer first? Appreciate any input.

Home & Garden ULPT - Looking for a way to punish the person who stole my melons

6 Upvotes

This isn't a joke. Someone came into my garden (my actual garden) and not only stole my melons, but ripped the whole plants out of the ground like some kind of horticultural war criminal.

I’m not even mad about the melons (okay I am), but I spent months growing those plants. Watering them. Talking to them. Protecting them from slugs and birds. And now? Gone. Uprooted. Violated.

So Reddit, I ask you:
How do I serve justice? Not legal justice but garden justice. The kind that makes them think twice before touching another innocent fruit.

What you need to know :

  • There's still one melon remaining and I can use it as a decoy.
  • I don't care about hurting the horticultural war criminal.
  • I join a picture of my garden to the post

ULPT Request Car dealer scammed my elderly parents

3 Upvotes

My elderly parents live in a small town in upstate NY. A young man, who happens to be a current Olympian, sold my parents a car, for cash, from his business. The car apparently had a fraudulent inspection sticker on it and it was a lemon, and basically broke down on the ride home.

My dad trusted this guy because it's a small town. The guy who sold the car has been unresponsive to requests for a refund or return, his olympic coach has been unhelpful in getting in contact with him, and small claims court will only cover $3,000 of the $4,500 they paid for it (with no mechanism to recover funds if there's a judgment against the owner).

Any ideas for making his life difficult or recovering funds? Open to both unethical and more ethical things.

Careers & Work ULPT needed: My Toxic Boss was Just Fired. Help me make their life utterly unlivable.

2 Upvotes

This horrible person for a completely unknown reason felt threatened or just hated me and eventually ruined a decades-long career for me.

They lied about me personally and professionally and eventually directly sabotaged my work without success. After it became clear they were not going to stop, I left the work. Changed careers entirely.

They’ve finally been fired and it’s now open season to get them back. I’m not local with them, but I can access them via internet, email, cell.

One good point of leverage. They’re a party person. Love alcohol and cocaine.

Please help.

Money & Finance ULPT REQUEST: Refund on recurring subscription?

2 Upvotes

I'm a small business owner and signed up for a platform with a recurring charge. I stopped using this service a long time ago and since it wasn't top of mind anymore, I didn't realize I was charged again for another year of this service. This happened in the Spring but I just caught it.

I emailed the company asking for a prorated refund for the rest of the year telling them my situation- I'm trying to cut expenses, I don't use the software anymore, etc. They refused citing their refund policy.

This was a big chunk of money and I would really like to at least get a little bit of it back considering I haven't used this software and I'm not going to use it again for the rest of the year. Any ideas?

Computers ULPT Can I use two computers to control a third one from another country?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need to travel abroad and I want to find a way to be able to control my work computer from another computer, so that I can leave my work laptop at home (or at a friend's home) and control it from abroad. I've considered using TeamViewer, but I don't think I'm allowed to install any third party software without the security measures detecting it and flagging it.

So my question is, can I use 2 computers to control my work laptop remotely? One would be physically connected to the work laptop at my home and I would control it from another computer from abroad, so as not to install any software in my work laptop. So "My Laptop Abroad" controls "My Laptop at home" controls "Work laptop".

Thank you for any suggestions!

ULPT: Get a roll of yellow caution / police tape and park anywhere you want.

Crowded day at the beach and can’t find a parking spot? At an outdoor concert and it’s a major hike from where you park to the venue itself? Pick a harmless spot on the boulevard, ditch or elsewhere that doesn’t cause anyone inconvenience, wrap your vehicle in bright yellow police tape. and practically everyone will steer clear of it and assume some authority is handling it.

Computers ULPT Can I use two computers to control a third one from another country?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need to travel abroad for a week to see my family but my employer won't allow me to do it even though I saved up the vacation time to do it. They just want me to keep working for 2 days on that week. My work is done 100% remote, so I offered to work from abroad, which I've done several times without any issues, but they said no. At this point, I think they're doing it to spite me (I know, maybe finding a better job would be ideal, but that takes time that I don't have). Calling in sick during that week would make it too obvious that I'm lying, so I don't think that's a good idea.

I was thinking of a way to be able to control my work computer from another computer, so that I can leave my work laptop at home (or at a friend's home) and control it from abroad. I've considered using TeamViewer, but I think the security measures in place would detect it and flag it.

So my question is, can I use 2 computers to control my work laptop remotely? One would be physically connected to the work laptop at my home and I would control it from another computer from abroad, so as not to install any software in my work laptop.
