Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Set a timer for a few minutes less than is on the clock.

Meanwhile me with my two decades old washing machine that doesn't have fancy shit like clocks or displays.

But yes, if you're using a shared machine, then be there on time - or expect someone else to do this. You're not entitled to just block it for who knows how long while other people want to do their laundry too.

Oh and pervs typically care for dirty underwear, not clean ones.

I, uh, didn't say anything about underwear...

But even with your old washing machine, I'm sure you have a pretty good idea how long a cycle will take.

Don't worry about comments about washing machines at home, because they absolutely have nothing to do with the discussion about a shared laundromat.

That was one strike, and the dirty underwear comment counted for two strikes and now he's out.

OOP did.

Kinda feels like they depend on the weight, but I don't know if that thing is that smart. I typically just set a 3 hour timer on my phone as a reminder, since I had the occasional cases of forgetting to empty it until the next day..........
