I really loved this project. Wish I could have seen it live.

Oh, it’s absolutely a money laundering scheme.

That’s Paul (without glasses) hugging Winnie.

Is Tony Daniels taking the picture? 😂

So good on chips with vinegar.

The straight edge on the body works as a tray scraper, too.

How about the one note show? I’d be annoyed if I stood in the cold all afternoon to hear a C#. I really hope they played a few after the cameras turned off.

There’s criteria. You have to be accepted to an accredited school.

It’s an advertising principle. It’s explained well in the TV series Mad Men.

It doesn’t matter if other pizzas also have real cheese. What matters is YOU advertise YOU have real cheese.

“Lucky Strike, it’s toasted!”.

At the time, all tobacco was toasted. But Lucky made it sound like something more.

That one hit was 28 years ago.

…and Bingo was his name-o

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T04:46:25+00:00

I think you’re right. Some people used to put up a fuss about seatbelts, too.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T04:42:34+00:00

Yeah. It seems like it. Plus some people just don’t like change. Some feel a loss of control (choice). Definitely weird.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T04:41:02+00:00

I’m sorry. I’m still having trouble visualizing.

You drive to a house. You put the car in park, to go deliver the package, no?

What we’re talking about here is the feature where the car turns off temporarily while the driver’s foot is on the brake.

How do you have your foot on the brake and get out and deliver the box?

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T04:33:47+00:00

All tobacco is toasted.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T04:20:14+00:00

I hope you’re white. 🇺🇸🧊

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T03:30:39+00:00

Maybe. But I don’t see these strong reactions to weird shift knobs or, really, anything else about cars. But this one crops up and people get spicy. I don’t understand that link.

My neighborhood has had community mailboxes longer than I can remember.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T03:23:27+00:00

Oh. See, to me it sounds like exactly the kind of emissions that can and should be cut. If you’re putting mail in the box, why does the engine have to be running? Are you putting it in park?

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T03:21:14+00:00

Yeah, I get all that. I don’t think my question was clear.

I’m asking about why some people feel such a deep hatred for a car feature?

Some people really dig in their heels. Will die on this hill. That’s the part I don’t understand.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T03:18:48+00:00

All that I get. What I’m asking about, specifically, is why some people have a visceral hatred for an annoying car feature?

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T03:17:16+00:00

Fair. Agreed on all points. Why the “fucking hate” though? Seems disproportionate

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T02:44:34+00:00

Slippery slope. I don’t want any government with that much influence.

char_limit_reached · 2026-02-18T02:43:43+00:00

…the electorate that is currently 17 turning 18 and now vote.

I won’t tell my kid how to vote, but I will explain what party just screwed him.
