Whoops … wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)
Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?
I would join the same protest… but then later that week I’d join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.
It’s frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.
Which means we only have two highway seasons …
Winter Season and Construction Season
It arrives with one critical screw missing making the whole thing unusable.
Puts ear up to avocado pit … all I hear is coca cola, french fries and cheese burgers coagulating and shit
Got it … I didn’t know instances could censor out certain words … it makes sense though
I try to be careful with my posts and commenting to try to stay in line with rules and decorum but I find myself often tripping over my own tongue either with the words I misuse or the ideas I spit out without thinking
The ‘R’ word here is a bit of a stretch as the word can be used in ways that have nothing to do with personal insults or degradation … but I do understand why it needs to be controlled because it’s been used so abusively on the internet
It’s another item I will have to be careful about so thanks for the heads up.
No … I’m just retarded.
I guess I need to get that plate for myself then :(
This is what happens when you comment without reviewing.
If you’re wondering, I should have corrected it to say
My old neighbor a long time ago rode a motorcycle with a plate in the back that said …
Retired, not Retarded
I’ll leave the stupidity in place because I think it’s funny
That pit has about the same density and firmness as an avocado pit.
My old neighbor al long time ago today motorcycle with a plate in the back that said …
Retired, not Retarded
Add some olive oil and you’ll pass liquid at both ends in no time.
The trick is to buy 10 of them, then cook two right away and you have enough to eat for two more days
The best part is … you’re in Japan! … that in itself is amazing. Good for you.
Driving in North America
I once took a trip to the UK and was brave enough (or dumb enough) to rent a car in London and drive around the country side. I drove down small town streets the wrong way several times and I nearly killed myself trying to navigate a roundabout twice.
As a passenger it was frightening. You sit there in what has always been the drivers seat to you yet you have no control over the vehicle.
It all completely screws with you brain.
We got to see Stonehenge tho, so that was great.
I’m up in northern Ontario in Canada and I had a French Canadian neighbor who loved watching John Wayne movies. He often told me that he had Cherokee ancestry too.
I told him a hundred times that this wasn’t Cherokee territory because I was full blooded Ojibwe Cree from this area and we had never heard of Cherokee. I kept telling him that he was probably part Ojibwe or Algonquin which is who the French mixed with in our area … but he really wanted to be a John Wayne movie Indian.
A more simpler description is … “the universe should revolve around me and my personal happiness and freedom” … Therefore … “If anyone disagrees with that, then they are communists and anarchists that want to destroy world order … my world order”
It’s a mentality that always revolves around them
Car stops on the street in front of the house … Garrison at attention!!!
Car starts backing up towards the driveway … All forces on high alert! Man your stations!!!
Car starts moving onto the driveway … Cease all operations!! Men at your stations!!! We’re dispatching a warning party!!!
Car drives away … Cancel all alerts!!! Go back to your patrols!
Cashier: YOU’VE WON A NEW CAR!!! … just kidding, your credit card was declined.
Especially when they are short enough to survive an oncoming train … and you are not
I’m having a hard time too … I had to get a ladder to pick up my phone from the ceiling
My work here is done :)
Hello to you too my friend
In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.
If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.
