The last car I donated was the '92 Tempo 5sp with 205,000 miles. It was perfectly drivable, but I literally couldn't give it away. I wonder how long it would have taken to get stolen if I left it someplace unlocked with the keys in it. It would probably still be there today.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From that 100 things article--what happened to diving boards? And people don't delete stuff to make room from their hard drives any more? I feel like a dinosaur. I did that just the other day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That wasn't even true when I was growing up.
I think it was in Mass., when I grew up.

Because books.
Shopping only during the day, Monday to Saturday.
The town where I grew up, stores were only open Thursday nights. And they weren't open on Sunday until I was out of high school, unless it was a drug store.
or better yet should I get a while cake and just faceplant into it?
Well, faceplant with mouth open, right?

Pools removed them due to liability/insurance issues.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think that was implying that in the future memory will be so cheap and plentiful that that won't be necessary. The diving boards I don't understand.

Really? I delete stuff all the time. The 320GB and 250GB drives in my computer are always running low on free space. The 1.5 TB drive is doing fine and the 1TB external drive is only half full though.

Huh. I think the municipal pools around here still have them. I will have to check.
