    Ive rolled a queen bed from house to house on a dolley before, along with many other things. Pulled my old couch to the same house on its one good rolling wheel. The grand old “5 block city move.” It wouldn’t be realistic to do outside of a city, but it also took some real grit and just embracing the stupid to do there.

    The fun part? Several people honked and waved, while others offered to help. People loved seeing someone just hulking that shit down the road. One of those nice “city people” moments.

    I think your summation of the sass is better than mine, to be sure.

    Its an infrequent question you get if you dont own a car in the US. With mass transit generally being shit everywhere, but slightly less shit in cities, people who dont live in cities think moving things around is impossible, because a car is the only possibility that they are personally acquainted with.

    Its not impossible, just vaguely awkward sometimes as this meme shows, which is a solid tradeoff for not having to deal with all the bullshit owning a car entails.


  • I’ve never heard that pointer bullshit at all. Can you link it?

    “Man” for “manual” is just an antiquated term kept around by Unix curmudgeons. “Help” is much better as it requires no explanation and conveniently is automatically abbreviated to its full name. It’s the common term used in most other systems that aren’t linux.

    'Man" isn’t sexist, it just sucks.

    Tech bros and corpo sales drones trying to throw a “hip” pizza party where people can see them get out of their beemers and where they can pretend to have hobbies and souls by being “fun.”

    Or

    Cookie cutter, middle class grind culture mating grounds where people dress up to get drunk overpaying for booze while they fail to hit a golf ball and post about how zany they are on the gram’

    Or

    Said better than all the above
