I tried THUNDEROUS888 but it didn’t work. Very frustrating.

Or not.

Something tells me you aren’t a realtor. It’s like the reason most cars in America are black, white or gray/silver. It’s because those are the colors most people who come in looking for a specific color that’s not there will settle for if they get a good deal. So dealers stock mostly those colors. But an economist or business analyst just looking at the data would probably call this “demand”.

Dude, getting rid of capitalism is exactly what I was describing. Sorry I didn’t craft it into a meme for you.

I like the idea of making capitalism unnecessary through automation. Eliminate jobs, eliminate customers, eliminate profits. Make the system produce what we need all by itself. The rich have a similar system already, they call it passive income - set up some deals and money starts flowing to you all by itself. We can do the same with everything - passive prosperity.

Frankly there’s a good chance the paint job was the idea of a realtor. They LOVE painting everything white because apparently that’s the color that sells best. Fuck your hundred-year-old brickwork. “It’s a blank canvas!”

Jam! How has nobody mentioned jam? Jelly, marmalade, take your pick, it’s all good.

Considering how new anonymity is for the human race, it amazes me how people treat it like a crucial element of life. Civilization mostly lacked it for thousands of years because almost everybody lived in villages or small towns - about half the people in the world still do.

That’s the problem with relying on slang instead of real conversation. The desire to process our social media feeds as fast and with as little typing as possible means we encapsulate complex issues into ridiculously overgeneralized shorhand. We take in minimal information about each item, apply minimal quality control (mostly our own prejudices), use minimal thought to arrive at value judgements that make us feel morally impeccable, and spit out condensed replies. It’s superficial hillbilly-grade communication with a delusion of being informed, involved and enlightened.

Ok troll.

A few assholes bought as much TP as they could, also hand sanitizer and other items, to hoard and sell at exorbitant prices to make a profit off the pandemic. They made their homes and apartments into little warehouses.

Some appear to be holding their shit in until the next pandemic. Or to use it as a projectile weapon in the Mad Max apocalypse.

Excuse me? My definition of idiot includes fascists. Curb your kneejerk.

Not quite that simple. Speed is only a rough guideline. When you shift depends largely on how hard you’re accelerating. In a typical car if you’re trying to get up speed to get on the freeway, 25 is way too soon to shift into 3rd. I wouldn’t until at least 30. Same if you’re going up a hill, at 25 the car won’t have enough torque for 3rd gear.

No more difficult than using a phone while walking, except looking around while driving is even more important. I’ve taught several people how to drive a manual transmission in an afternoon. Different afternoons of course.

They should have been mailed by now… I’ll check on it!

It’s too bad we can’t make being a fucking idiot illegal, but then there wouldn’t be anywhere near enough prisons.

Hell, that improvement probably got wiped out in Trump’s first month.
