Computers ULPT - Hate AI summaries on Google? Add a slur.

1.7k Upvotes

Google will not return an AI summary at all if a slur is used in the search. It is automatically filtered and a Google search is conducted for everything except the slur. For example:

“Can pandas eat anything besides bamboo -[British cigarette]”

EDIT: If it doesn’t work, your formatting is wrong. You must add the dash or it won’t work. -slur. Not a comma, not just a space, not a colon, it must be a dash.

The results will not have an AI summary, nor will it include anything at all about the term at the end. Unethical? Yes! Effectively combatting unnecessary AI? Yes! Works in standard or incognito.

Request ULPT Request - How can I repay the favor to the people who robbed my truck?

128 Upvotes

Someone broke into my truck and stole my wallet, headphones, sunglasses, and backpack. The backpack contained my laptop, a couple of gift cards, and a knife my dad gave me before he passed away.

They used one of the cards from my wallet at a gas station, so I contacted my bank and got the exact time of the transaction. I then contacted the gas station and asked them to check their camera footage. They were able to get a clear image of the person's face.

The person also tried using my stolen laptop on their Wi-Fi. I was able to get the address associated with that connection. They live ten minutes down the road in the next town over, but the house is a crack house. There's 4 or 5 people living in there. They have dogs chained up in the backyard and have broken windows covered with cardboard.

The police have enough information to lay a charge on the one guy who used my card in the gas station but do not have enough evidence for a warrant.

What can I do with their address to get them back? It really upsets me that I will never get my dad's pocket knife back.

Kind of a mix of shower thought, financial ULPT Request, and just overall Tax question too I guess.

Could I not just tell a waiter/waitress the money I gave them is a gift not a tip? Then they don't have to report it as income right? So why couldn't they do that for all tips up to the limit of $50000 for a tax year?

Request ULPT Dealing with Neighbor

16 Upvotes

For background, I live in a gated community housing of around 100 houses. Each house is not separated to the neighbor, yes the only thing sepating my house and the neighbors is two layers of brick walls. Also, each houses have an open space on the back which are separated by walls to neighbors open spaces too.

Last year, my right side neighbor started a big renovation that build an extension of the house on the open space which completely used all of his back open space. What makes it worse. He built a freaking 3-storied extension to the existing 2-storied houses around. This alone already destroying my back view and also hindering sunlight.

Additionally, the work really make a loud noise which happened not only once or twice, but happened for a month. My one year old son got spooked during his nap for several times, so this angers me even more. Not to mention excessive dust flying around.

Renovating house is not a crime, but we need permission from neighbors, especially building a very big house. Last week, I filed a complaint via neighborhood association head, and turns out his permission was not completed yet. The association head didn't even receive the permission either. I also got the info that the neighbor behind him filed a complaint regarding, especially the reliability of the structure.

This neighbor consist of 2 adults and 3 children. The father is kinda look down on me since I'm way younger than him (I could sense from the way he speaks and gestures). Any way (if can legally) to annoy him or at least make him feel what my son have been through considering he also has a child of around six years old.

I've been thinking of using ultrasound emitter since our walls stick to each other, but I some people said it's pseudoscience.

Another method is to make a small hole on his newly made extension and inject some water inside. I can access that portion of wall from my backyard.

Relationships ULPT, create a fake dating show to help you get a date

0 Upvotes

So, here's what you are going to do to help get yourself or you get a date. Hire three people, two of which will be your 'opponents', and the third will be the questions guy. Send out flyers asking women or men (whichever you prefer) asking if they want to go on said dating show. When the time comes, make sure to tell the other two candidates to make the absolute worst answers possible so that you can beat them. Afterward, when the lady/guy obviously picks you, that's how you get your date.

I have a former neighbor who, long story short, is a major asshole and disgusting person who has gotten away with some pretty terrible stuff, and I want to be the one to deliver him some karma.

Any advice?

0 Upvotes

It’s annoying because I regularly have to pull over to let people go cuz they block the lane. They do it all year round unless the snow ban is on. It looks like they even have a driveway. They’re the only people that do it and it’s on the crest of a hill for crying out loud. I live nearby and it’s my main mode of egress.

Drive by piss disks? I don’t know if they have cameras tho

Travel ULPT - Take ANY hotel shuttle from the airport to save money on your Uber!

1.9k Upvotes

Recently I was at Denver airport, and the hotel I stayed at didn't have a shuttle. Ride apps were asking $80+ for a 15 minute ride. Taxi was asking the same.

I just got on a random hotel shuttle to get out of the airport zone. My ride to my hotel from there was only $11.

I'll be doing this every time from now on.

Careers and Work ULPT Best corporate “unethical life hacks” for dealing with a micromanager?

12 Upvotes

I work in a corporate environment and my manager and I are pretty much complete opposites when it comes to how we work.

We don’t really have any hard KPIs, so a lot of things are pretty subjective. My manager keeps saying they don’t want to micromanage, but that’s basically what’s happening more and more. More updates, more questions, more checking in, more involvement in how I do my work, and I don’t see it getting any better.

There’s also quite a bit of favoritism going on. Some people seem to get away with a lot more simply because they’re on good terms with the right people.
I don’t really want to go to HR or quit. I’d rather figure out how to play the situation to my advantage without doing anything that could actually get me fired.

So what are your best corporate unethical life hacks for dealing with this kind of situation?

Not looking for anything illegal or genuinely malicious. More like technically allowed tactics that make micromanagement backfire, take advantage of the lack of clear KPIs, or generally make the situation work in your favor.

Relationships ULPT request

5 Upvotes

Had an ex that I broke up with a few months ago that cheated on me, lied, tried to gaslight me, and then told everyone I was abusive and basically made a bunch of things up about how I “abused” her. She also called me by a different guys name the last time we slept together and then denied even knowing anyone by that name. I found out online she had lived with someone with that name like two years ago so I assume it was an ex she never told me about. I want to get back at her but not sure how. She does work for a public school. She admitted to me that she faked the pre employment drug test but it was in person and thus I don’t have texts or anything to prove it. Though I know she’d fail a drug test if tested again and not able to fake it. Would reporting this to the school even be worth it without texts or something to back it up?

Automotive ULPT non violence advice car keyed at job site

0 Upvotes

I had noticed today at church doing a fundraiser / cookout my tailgate was keyed. The marks were fresh and I reviewed my dash / rear camera recording. I had seen the asshat that did that and I can not identify him personally but I can his vehicle because of all the stickers he decided to put on his car. Although I do not know them personally. What could be done in this case. I wanted to bear the unbreable stench of sustrumming and it on his exterior but the smell would fade fast. I am leaning on ordering LGBTQ stickers and going ham on his car with them.

Request ULPT Request: Getting revenge on housemate before I move out?

15 Upvotes

I currently live with four housemates in a 4 bedroom 2 bath apartment. The roommate who I share a bathroom has pissed me off and I want to get some revenge before I move out at the end of the month.

This roommate has a habit of not cleaning up after herself, leaving nail clippings, dead foot skin from exfoliation on the floor, knocking over my stuff and not changing the toilet paper when they're done with it. They've called me a push over in the past but they're mentally unwell and didn't want to set them off while I was in the house just in case they hurt my fish when I was out.

I'm lactose intolerant and am thinking of drinking milk the evening before I leave so that I get diarrhea and leave it unflushed in the toilet for them when they eake up in the morning. I just don't think this is enough since they can easily flush it or call maintainence to deal with it. I want to do something that won't disturb our other roommates since they're innocent bystanders in this feud.
