This is less an LPT and more of an IATA

Same thing with AAA lobbying against public transportation so we can all sit like idiots in cars on high ways

Nice. Keep it up. You're a sparkling example of an effervescent personality, not.

You're not winning any points.
Go look in the mirror. You're just as bad

You didn't read the statement.
It's not somebody asking you a question it's somebody constantly asking you questions and annoying you and asking you to do their work for them.
Try again.

Let me let you win on a secret, it's not everybody. Just a few vocal people like you.
Guess what, you're just as bad as you're saying I am.

My 2010 Prius has a foot pedal for parking brake. Completely to the left, hard to confuse with a (non-existing) clutch.

I agree and I remind myself of that when someone may be pissed off with me, BUT that's also something that a person who doesn't make any effort to communicate effectively or don't care about other people's perspectives would say

I get your point, but you gotta consider Jesus is in Jerusalem during a time of Roman occupation. Anything that upset the Romans was going to be merciless put down.
Jesus was the most based guerrilla fighter in history.
"Turn the other cheek" was a way to peacefully resist and subvert a Roman custom of backhand slapping their perceived lessers.

My phone doesn't have a screen saver but my lock screen has my phone number on it so if I lose my phone somebody can call my landline

Seriously I've never bought socks that come in different colors in one pack. I don't understand why people would do that

One time or a few times, maybe, but constantly is too much.

Do you mean: how to be a manager of any type. Guiding people to the answer so it sticks instead of telling them over and over again!

Reply to LPT Request: Do you know of any co-housing/living spaces designed for people working on self-improvement? I feel like it would be huge for my growth. by OnlyDaikon5492
Unless you have a work from home job, I don't think think there's something exactly like what you're looking for.
Most would require some kind of substance problem or criminal problem. Options that don't wouldn't be full time stays, or would be vacations/not working.
Your best bet would probably be to join a club. Like taking a class at the YMCA, or signing on with a D&D team at the local card shop, book club at the library, etc.
Its not a full time situation like you want but it would be something with some structure and socializing you do weekly. And they're low stakes, things people shouldn't care about if you get nervous and don't show up.
If you have the money to spare, you could also stay at a local hotel for a while. It would give you the feeling of getting away for a while, but also keep you in range of getting to work.

I trim my beard on an uninhabited island. Not getting hair trimmings on my immaculate lawn.

Maybe its just been tucked away somewhere I can't find it, but I was under the impression they stopped putting these in cars a decade ago.
Granted my data points are limited to my 2001 Hyundai Elantra having one, my 2011 Toyota Camry not, and work's 2014 Ford F150 not.

Yes very much a US/Canada thing. As OP said himself. Essentially Tax Agents have lobbied to keep it the way it is instead of changing to a system like ours (aus)
