The trouble is, the amount of steady pressure to apply varies inversely proportionate to the amount of towel left on the roll. So it’s a guessing game for most people as to how hard to pull.
When I was stationed in the UK, we were warned not to use private driveways to turn around our cars.
They said the residents don’t take kindly to having their driveways disturbed and might raise hell, chasing the car with whatever they could grab (allegedly this had happened many times).
“Ford’s Kentucky Truck plant builds the Ford F-Series Super Duty, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator SUVs. The plant is one of the largest auto factories in the world and accounts for $25 billion a year in revenue, according to Ford which issued a statement shortly after the walkout.”
Fain wasn’t bluffing, they’re hitting them where it hurts. Go UAW!
The UAW’s success with Fain shows they should continue direct leadership elections. This guy is killing it for them. I hope they don’t get complacent with time and allow appointees again. From an outsider’s perspective it seems like the appointees are susceptible to bribery from the big 3.
I always block them right away. My idea is that any interaction flags you as ‘positive direct contact’ in their scumbag networks, making them likely to increase the spamming. I realize the act of blocking may in itself trigger this, if they track undeliverable contact, but idk what else to do.
It could tell them there’s likely a live person receiving their bullshit, so continue spamming with other means.
Bear in mind these are all just ideas I have about how they operate, based on nothing really. I try to imagine how spammers analyze data they receive to target us.

I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising… salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?
Years ago I read that magnesium oxide has a very low absorption rate in the body, so it mostly passes in urine. The source said magnesium malate or citrate have much higher absorption.
My son is afraid of reporting this to police because many of his friends work there, and he’s afraid of retaliation at school for being a “snitch”. This is not the first time he’s witnessed something very wrong and had to report it, that time to police, and he was targeted at school both physically and just with asshole...
This route appeals most to me. My first instinct was to contact the police immediately for the well-being of the girl and others, but then my son made a strong case for the retaliation he expects at school. To add to that he’s already hesitant to seek help for things, always has been, and I worry that taking action he doesn’t want will make him clam up even more.
So waiting awhile is a good plan, and I can probably get him onboard in that time. I’d like to be more proactive in helping the girl, so that bothers me, but since I’m forced to choose I have to look out for my boy.
Thank you for this idea. I wish you all the best in life.
Late to the party, but I really enjoyed Demon 79. I know Black Mirror as an anthology doesn’t do follow ups to its episodes, but I wouldn’t mind if they made a one-time exception for this one....
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool
Erykah Badu, I did some work at her house a few times. She was very nice when I spoke with her, but usually I dealt with another lady. The first time I rolled up I figured she would be cool when I saw “FORGIVE” spray-painted across her garage.

What are electrolytes?
