and I like how you're trying to steer the conversation in exactly the same way but in a different direction.

I mean seriously, you call the hypothetical person in some low level clerical/administrative role a fascist because they won't quit because it's simply not that easy to do so, yet in the same breath you say "I totally have so much power as an individual to drive the piss ass politics in a country of 330 million" -- hypocrite much?

I just drain the gas and run it until it stalls. Been doing this with the lawnmower, weed trimmer and snowblower for over a decade, never any carburetor issues.

Thank you, that was brilliant.

Now I have to explain to the people in my vicinity what “dull men’s club” is because I involuntarily let out a great belly laugh after reading your comment.

nowhere near the trunk of the car, thankfully. :-)

I guess the closest I've gotten to that is to have a cow lick the "T" off of the "Passat" lettering on my trunk a couple years ago.

it's amazing how I could immediately identify which loops you are referring to and have repaired a few of my own for similar reasons.

Had you known how to sew, you could have mended that rip!

those appear to be physical clones, not electronic equivalent clones. How is this specific company any different than the dozens of other earbud clones out there?

Between (old) reddit, phpbb and smf... the old reddit model wins by a landslide in my opinion. I've used all of these over the years and absofuckinglutely HATE phpBB and SMF, with SMF earning slightly less hatred than phpBB.

I'm also old enough to have downloaded .QWK files for offline BBS forum reading/replying and even connecting to the internet over a FidoNet-internet bridge. Lemmy did the exact right thing in copying reddit's format.

ah, so you're the jerk who caused the sudden snowstorm/cold weather here. :-)

I... I'm actually kind of surprised that American cigarettes are an export item. Surely to expats and pro-American Europeans who have lost all sense of taste and smell?

It’s called the asshole tax. Don’t be an asshole and you won’t be charged.
