Shit that annoys you

If you run an iPhone, it’s under Phone settings. It’s a lifesaver.

The joys of living in a swing state.

Thank God election day is here.

“And every four years, we will have suburban women in Pennsylvania decide on a new president”

“Just Pennsylvania, sir?”

“And Wisconsin and Michigan. Sometimes Georgia, for entertainment”

“No one else can vote, sir?”

“They can vote but it won’t matter”

[yeahman]

I wonder why I don't get anything.

Don't worry about it. You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you.

“I was today years old when I found out that xxxxx….”

So annoying. Cute the first time I heard it, but now…,

Those skits really are good. Very timely indeed!

I think you also live in a non-swing state like myself as well as Old Goat - Just imagine how many the swing state people are getting? [emoji33]
BMills and others in swing states- what have your text volumes been like?

I'm in California. They want money, they don't care from where. Blocking does no good because they keep using new numbers. I only get texts, not calls or emails--but I don't check my spam folder. As far as not replying stop, maybe it helps a little maybe it just tells them it's a live number but I doubt they care, easier to just send out texts than to try to curate their phone lists.

You guys all on iphones or something? My google phone filters all the political texts to spam, never had to do anything. But did check the spam folder the other day and seems I'm on the trump list, which is funny, looking at the day it started, I'm not sure how they got my number.

Oddly my old Samsung phone used to filter all the spam texts into a separate folder I never had to look at, but my new one does not seem to have the same capability.

[anotherVTskibum]

Holy crap. I just looked at my Google voice spam folder. It's not a huge volume, but it's more than enough that I'd have been looking for a neck to wring.

Also, the reason I came into the thread before I got distracted:

All-season tires on a rental van, particularly one coming out of Denver, annoy me. My van has better tires than the other one we rented, but driving between Frisco and Loveland on mixed conditions would be a whole lot less terrifying with proper snow tires.

[Name Redacted]

I really wish they'd require snow tires on all rental cars in Colorado. Would be tough to implement but sure would cut down on accidents.

No reason it can’t be done except apathy.
Rental car companies seem to manage it in Europe. When I was looking last year every car out of Munich had winter tires, out of Milan it was a readily available option.
Not gonna happen here though - high proportion of “locals” don’t even run suitable tires so no way rental companies will until CDOT implement and enforce passenger vehicle tire restrictions.

I was out for a walk in my neighborhood last night. To me it seems like common courtesy to say "hi" to people you pass going the other way, but there were a couple people who neither replied nor even acknowledged I existed as far as I could tell. That just seems weird to me.

This is Utah right here. I don’t get it either. They literally look at me funny for saying hello to them.

Middle of nowhere UT on a dirt road a family of at least ten were pulled over and the parents were changing a tire. I stopped and asked if they were all good. Blank stares all around. Weird.

Prolly twenty% on my local walk/ride. I just figured that’s the way that amount of the population is, no big deal.

I think the fact that the rental companies move cars around the entire US so much makes it tough to dictate the tire requirements. It is also one of the reasons there are so many TX and FL plates in CO all the time and they all drive like morons because they are either tourist or worse yet, actual Texans.

Not to mention the car rental market must have some pretty strong lobbying power.

This is probably the *core* reason.

This is true, although I'm a little surprised some places don't retain "local" cars that are kept out of the national pool. Like, a car that you can rent at DIA that has to be returned to the same place, and is set up for winter driving.

Or maybe they do have that and I just don't rent enough cars to know about it.

Even better when it's people you see 2-3x a week while walking the dog. Say hi every time, get a weird uncomfortable look anytime. You mute or just rude?

Jeezus, dude - you're French - you should know how this works.

Stop being friendly. That's not how it works.

Well, if you guys do threads, you’ll get posts from women saying that it’s basically all creepy, stalking men on every hike they go on.
