Legality, courtesy and customs aside, I would not risk cracking my windshield/windows by going through a liquid water car wash with anything frozen on my car.

I don’t know where those people are, but in my state I’ve never heard of that. There’s no tipping option when you pay, no tip jar etc. Not everyone carries cash around.

People can stab you to death irl, not online

Also too cold? Maybe

Country borders exist to contain the proletariat and allow avenues of escape for the bourgeoisie.
A government that makes demands of this regime paints a target on their backs.

Is this just a hypothesis or was there some basis for this thinking?

Have you not also heard that republican accusations are actually confessions?
- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 4 weeks ago:
Whatever product or service the US’s huge payments to Israel are for.
Why are we sending money to them? What’s the good or service being transacted?
Whatever that is, that’s what they’re distracting us from.

Plenty of people are answering your question, so let me give you a warning. If you put a gift card to an obscure store or punch card for a barbershop in there, you will absolutely forget you have it.

Probably AI
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 1 month ago:
Is your friend RFK?

If I am then I was very advanced for my creation date.

Precisely, thus they are the more similar to toddlers. Make sense?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
There are such places.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Great attitude you got there
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Not Italy perhaps, but there are such places.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
We do. That’s exactly what the “toddler”-insulter is lambasting.

I don’t know about Slovakian, but such places exist, yes.

Oh, pardon me, I forgot you’re allowed to find someone seeking a path forward in life as dreadfully inconvenient, because where you were born grants you superiority, m’lord

Not new. Aircraft carriers exist.

The phrase is typically used to refer to babysitting, i.e., I’ll make sure the kids don’t leave or kill themselves. So the “down” serves a purpose in the present use, regardless of its applicability to historic situations.
“Holding the fort” just meant not letting enemies in
“Holding down the fort” also includes preventing things from getting out of hand
But I like the bouncy castle imagery as it’s less mundane

Why wouldn’t we give our family members a tip on how they can also get out, on a platform where they would see it?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
… just as much as bouncy castles?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Do toddlers where you are keep a hand free to multi-task, be available to lend a hand where needed, or use a napkin?
Or is dedicating both hands to stuffing your face the more toddler-like method? Maybe think before you fling shit.

If you ask an American they will assume you MEAN their job, whether it’s their “main life thing” or not, because that’s how people talk here
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Oh we non-idiot Americans find the doofuses who do that annoying too
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Your assumption that bouncy castles are more likely than aircraft is amusing
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
Oh yeah that’s definitely representative of the majority of us, got us figured out you have
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 2 months ago:
If it means we can get citizenship somewhere else and get out… you’re offended by us figuring out our options? Oh how inconsiderate of us
