I don’t know about you guys, but the teeth an my zipper are lined up ahaid of time and “traveling” the same speed. I would be fine with zipper merge if that where the case, but every time i am in the open lane and the other one closes there are 10 jerks who sped to the end and now feel i should have to come to a full stop and let all 10 get in front. Also, my zipper gets joined at the botom and the “merge” point travels back up the the path. we are all going to sqeeze into one lane anyway. Don’t care where it happens as long as everyone maintains speed. If you expect me to stop my lane so 10 can come from yours we have a problem.

that there’s an RV.

yeh, I’d hit that

perhaps, but as a scuba instructor, I am tired of people saying the underwater sign language for “OK” means white power. Context matters. There still should be some effort to understand the intent of the sender, and not just assume the preconceptions of the receiver are the intent. Somone deciding a word or symbol I have been using for my lifetime suddenly means something else does not change my intent. When a Hindu puts a swastika on their house it clearly does not mean the same thing as when a Nazi does. When a spanish art teacher refers to black paint…etc, etc… In cases like this, I think we have enough context that the font and details of the symbol are irrelevant. It is clear what his intent is. If the guy did not share those beliefs, given what he does for a living, I would think he would be more careful about using anything that could be mistaken for Nazi symbology.

I find it realy hard to tow 20,000 pounds of hay or horses with a ford edge, so I have a 2500 6.7 and drive it only when towing. just because people dont live the same lifestyle as you and need the same gear as you does not invalidate their needs.

Verizon…manually go in every month to OK the funds come straight from checking. Been using the same account for over 20 years and it is SAVED on the Verizon site… Have plenty of money in the account, then one month it gets rejected for “account not found”. Bank says they never even tried and i hit re-submit and it goes through no problem. Clearly a problem with Verizon’s payment processing right? But they charge me a $30 “returned” fee and when I reach out to them they wont budge on it.

“America’s bluest non voters” and “tweet Donald trump is…”. Looks like they are only paying if you agree with their politics. That is buying votes. Offering it to all non voters is one thing but the other requirements make it shady. Just as bad as Elon Musk “sign a petition”. neither should be permitted.

when economy was based on number of farmers or number of factory workers (especially cheap ones) those in power loved them. But honestly even then they where treated as cheap labor not people. Ask Irish, Chinese, etc, etc…

never said i was upset about “Egwene and Nynaeve”. Not sure where you got that. I just remember the one power being more common in the village because “the blood of Manetheren flows strong Emond’s Field” and everyone commenting how Rand looked so different from the locals. They also commented that those in watch hill mixed with outsiders but Tam was strange because he married someone from off. Rand remarks that Mistress Grimwell (Else Grimwell’s mother) has yellow hair, a hair color he had never seen before in his life. Rand sees Thom he notices that he has blue eyes and Rand remembers a time he fought Ewal Coplin because he made fun of Rand’s grey eyes (so we can infer from that this eye color stands out there and Rand suffered at least one episode of bullying). I think everyone should have been dark skinned, or at least all similar. Its the variaty i did not like.

WOT having racial diversity in a village where the book made a huge deal about the fact that everyone looks the same due to isolation and inbreeding. That I had an issue with. This is stupid. It is well established that the doctor can come back looking like anything.

no doubt. major pet peeve of mine, people enter a building (IE store) and just STOP blocking the entrance. I get you need to get you bearings but step out of the wat to do it!

that was the most wasted up vote I ever gave.
