  • The difference is effort. Just dropping it over the ground is the least effort to accomplish getting it out of the way to move by. And not going out of your way to put it someplace else. You aren’t committing a crime in the process by stealing anything. And they’re likely to not check and just leave it there anyway for a punishment later when they notice it missing.

    Taking the pin out means it’s no longer secure, it could fall out on the highway, damaging an innocent vehicle following at a later date.


  • Nah that’s extra effort that shouldn’t be required, especially for anyone with mobility issues. Leaving it in is just asking for it to be stolen anyway. Just put it on the ground right under. Not stolen, just moved out of the way, and they’ll inevitably not check and leave it behind. Probably never even notice until they try to use it to tow something again.


  • Those aren’t a choice. Driving a pavement princess 100% is.

    They usually try to justify it with the loose excuse of hauling or towing things, that they do maybe twice a year. It’s pathetic.

    The ones that actually get used regularly for their design are obvious, because they’re beat up from use. And from my experience, they also tend to be the ones that don’t park like this. Likely because backing in means you can’t actually load anything in the bed.

    Someone never had to deal with mathematical proofs, only layman’s definitions.

    All properties of a parallelogram apply:

    • Opposite sides are parallel
    • Opposite sides are congruent
    • Opposite angles are congruent
    • Consecutive angles are supplementary
    • Diagonals bisect each other

    AND

    • All angles are congruent
    • All sides are congruent
    • Diagonals are congruent
    • Diagonals are perpendicular
    • Diagonals bisect opposite angles


  • Ah yes drugs are bad. Weed kills you, etc.

    You find out weed doesn’t do any of the shit they said it did… Now absolutely everything they claimed is called into question. Why would they lie about X but not about Y?

    DARE did more to make people learn that police cannot be trusted apart from maybe their general violent tendencies.


  • To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.

    Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.
