What constant churn? Nothing changes on my system unless I desire it to.

Sorry, you're thoroughly confused. It is not theft to steal from a thief. It's called "justice." I realize this is a radical concept for your society, which at this moment is thoroughly unjust. Familiarize yourself with

The people in question weren't angrily following me. If that were the case, there's no need for any theatrics. The first weapon to be employed is a Middle Finger. If that proves ineffective, it's followed by a lugnut taken fr

I don't mind that sort of traffic, as long as I'm in Somebody Else's Car or an old junker that's already banged up. In these situations, the biggest and ugliest car/truck with the meanest driver always wins.

It's all fun and games until one gets rear-ended by one of these mental patients. The solution is just to stay out of Atlanta, or drive faster. I'm OK with that. Not really sure where you were going with all this. Sounds like pret

From everything you've said so far, it sounds like people in your area have a lot of sense.

Do you have a wood surface nearby? I would recommend giving it a good knock.

Another trick that works is just to let the windshield get cracked once. Then it will be immune to further rock strikes. Studies have shown that freshly replaced windshields are 937% more likely to be hit with a rock. #trustmebro #science

In the Atlanta area I've experienced a few times people FLYING up on me in the right hand lane while I'm cruising along at a conservative, gas sipping 55 MPH in my old truck, blaring their horn at me like I'm some kind of man

If you added a missile launcher to your vehicle, it could become ritualistic combat again.

I for one am shocked--SHOCKED, I say!--to learn that anything bad could happen as a result of a) putting everything in "the cloud" and b) handing control over the entire world's source code to the likes of Microsoft. Who coul

In fact the Yankees, Californians, and city slickers of all sorts are FLOODING into the southeast USA, and have been since they suddenly decided all at once in 2020 this is where they need to be for some reason. I've never seen so many

We were discussing your belief that everyone in the world has a city slicker inside struggling to get out. The views of rural people can be disregarded in favor of the superior City Person viewpoints, since that's what we're all s

Nah, I prefer to just use C, because at least I can parse the quite sane and helpful error diagnostics when I omit a semicolon or something, instead of getting 15 pages of unreadable garbage dumped into my lap by the oh-so-wonderful C++ sta

A distinction without a difference. One mafia is as bad as another. One screws you in the short term, the other screws you in the long term, and much worse. The problem in both cases is the massive attack surface at every level of the syste

Well I didn't. I just spent years reading others' accounts, and am reporting from my own experience also. (Shocker, I know.) Now you have two people telling you the same thing, I guess.
