Lots of tightwad-ass responses in here. What a bummer. Its a silly question that should have silly responses, folks. Lighten up.

For some reason, all my cars have received female gendered references. I think its that way for a lot of folks. I have a feeling some movie or show popularized the concept at some point and it just took off from there. Maybe it was westerns with how riders talk to their horses and stuff? I don’t know. Sounds like an interesting rabbit hole though.

Damn. Congratulations are in order. I can definitely go on a multi-day stretch if allowed, but eventually I need a break. Not a long break, mind you.

Sex every day? Damn. My libido can be wild but that’s next level.

Mullvad had a huge ad in Times Square this summer.

I wish I had the budget for modular. I’m stuck with Cardinal in the meantime.

Me too! A whole milk crate full! Everyone thinks its a waste of space until I bust out the exact obscure/ancient cable they need.

Never mind. I found an article pretty quick. Thanks for the heads up anyway. :)

Care to elaborate? I’m curious.

Fuck both of these companies. Never used McDicks app in the first place. Spyware bullshit.

Thanks to everyone that spent time writing in response to this. This added context from so many perspectives really clears a lot of things up for me. 🙏

We’re on the same page. Thanks for your response.

That is a great question. Thanks for the link. I only know the surface level basics of the DuPont story.

Thanks for your perspective on this. I’m certainly not trying to be judge, jury, or executioner here but my concern is that its become pretty clear that many in the society I live in are completely content assigning those roles to themselves and I find that to be concerning.

I tried. Not sure how much clearer I can make it if this doesn’t do the trick.

Nope. That’s not what I am suggesting at all. I literally said that I don’t think there’s any other option besides vigilantism, which to me presents a difficult situation to reason through.

I’m allowed to find this situation conflicting and ask about other’s people’s thoughts on it to help me understand my own.

Bruh, chill out for a second. I’m not for a minute mourning Brian Thompson. You’re living in too black and white of a world if you don’t allow people to ask questions about complex topics like this. What is self-evident to you might not be to others.

Sorry I wasn’t able to crystal ball your perspective into my mind before posting. I’ll remind myself to read your mind in advance next time I dare to ask a question.

Doubt you’ve reasoned yourself into that opinion.

Leeches. Fuck em.

dbBlocker makes good molded plugs and they last forever. I have a pair that’s almost ten years old that I use all the time.

Does Ice Storm '98 count? As a kid, it was super wild to wake up to our house being ~10C then realizing that the heat wasn’t gonna be turning back on for a loooooong time.

Fortunately our neighbor had a gas stove in his basement and invited a bunch of folks from the neighborhood to use his house as a shelter for a while. It was super fun playing outdoors in the ice though. Literally everything was covered with inches of ice. You could put on a pair of skates and go anywhere you wanted for a couple days.
