I live out in the sticks, and if I don’t go 70, it will take me forever to get where I need to go. Also everyone else is going 70, so the people doing 50 are creating an unsafe situation. It’s the wild west out here.

You can make the purchase contingent on junk removal.

Agree to disagree.
- Comment on Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk? 2 weeks ago:
Near me - lots of homes have junk in the front yard. No idea why. Those homes also appear to be more likely to burn their garbage in the yard. 🤷

Oh crap, you are right.

Your taxes appear to be 15-20%, which isn’t too bad in the whole scheme of things.
- Comment on Full Moon Rising! 2 weeks ago:
I’m old so take this with a grain of salt. It is a combination of the best looking shoes not being the most comfortable and being told that women look best in heels.
- Comment on Full Moon Rising! 2 weeks ago:
Oh man, I can practically feel the years of heels that formed those toes. It hurts.

I have this same question about Amazon and living in Seattle.
- Comment on It used to be that when most countries were or in trouble or needed help they would go to the US for help. My question is who does the US go to for help if or when needed? 4 weeks ago:
France helped us during the revolution. The world has, generally speaking, been pretty good to us when we ask for help.

- Comment on Why do fancy cars look fancy and cheap cars don't? Can't you just slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower engine if you want? 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t know I wanted to slap a Lamborghini-style chassis onto a lawnmower, but now I do.

I love this quote about the breakdown of obligations in America. It’s not a direction I want to go, but it does seem to be the direction we are headed:
In America, everyone does whatever they want, society did break down, it’s terrible, and it’s great! You only look out for number one, scream at whoever disagrees with you, there are no bees because they all died, and if you need surgery you just beg for money on the internet. It’s the perfect system!

I mean, they tried to enshrine what they believed to be inherent into law. It is literally the opening of the declaration of independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
It is a philosophical debate that continues to this day. But most philophies think there are some obligations somewhere. There’s even a whole Tav show dedicated to the discussion (the Good Place).

It is a fascinating philosophical debate! We don’t talk about duties a ton right now, but they are weaved the nto the fabric of US law. bostonreview.net/…/samuel-moyn-rights-duties/
- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 1 month ago:
I have neuropathic pain and acupuncture has helped manage it so I can stay away from these kinds of medicine. Might be worth giving a shot (if nothing else you get a nap, which I always welcome).

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 months ago:
I help our customers make their business processes less stupid, time consuming and riddled with errors. Practically speaking it means I go to meetings, documentation process changes, build out business process automations, and attempt to convince an unwilling workforce that no, 17 spreadsheets is not the only or best way to run a business (change management).
