I kinda figure that the pole isn’t secure in the ground, like whoever installed it did it poorly and not deep enough into the ground. When you back up into it, it begins to tip over until you have the top under the car. When you try going forward, it rights itself. I’ve seen something similar with different kinds of poles and when they are upright, they look completely fine.

I figure that if you backed up with enough force to drive up the pole, the bumper would be more damaged.

Don’t they have his foreskin saved as a religious artefact? Like in some church somewhere because it performs miracles?

Does your car not have the 12v cigarette lighter ports?

Are the codes all unified across stores and POS systems? Is it an extension of the UPC? I assumed the code was like a part number from that store chain’s inventory.

I feel like these billionaires are afraid of the shitshow we call capitalism collapsing and they’re willing to throw money at the problem so they can keep it going and stay in power.

I think most people here agree with you, it’s just that the way you’re speaking to them comes off as judgemental and kinda mean, so they respond accordingly.

I think he’s saying that, for as futuristic as Japan may seem, they also still rely on outdated methods for certain things, just like every other country.

Can you just imagine being able to see what is available on all services from one interface, all at once, and then start a stream of it seamlessly from whichever you movie profile page you have access to?

When I was little, we used to have a box plugged into the CRT TVs of the time that, when connected to a network, would allow you access to something similar to what you’re saying. Typically, you’d be able to open an electronic program guide to see a menu that displayed all the different services that you’re subscribed to and be able to switch between streams seamlessly. Granted, the biggest difference is that the individual service providers had a set schedule as to what was streaming at the time, so if you missed content scheduled at a certain time, you’d hope they’d rebroadcast it at some point.

Maybe we could have something similar, but with the ability to pick anything from each individual service providers’ library on demand?

Although there was a problem with this system, but I don’t really remember what it was. The service providers banded together and started raising prices, I think? But, then again, aren’t they doing something similar now?

Could this possibly lead to Amazon Storefronts? They definitely sell enough stuff to fill a mall

Be the change you want to see in the world.

For the catapult, do you mean a slingshot?

The Americans with Disabilities Act? I wouldn’t consider people with disabilities livestock lol

Dang, for me it’s Glitter Freeze. I can definitely see Sweepstakes being grating though
