    I don't think you should feel ashamed at all, from your description I feel like we're very similar lol

    I've also been trying to be less cautious and more open, and the way I've been doing it is to be weird in front of people. Not maliciously, but I want people to have a funny story to tell their friends, and I'm less worried about feeling embarrassed in front of strangers because I'm never gonna see them again. I'm not interested in weed or alcohol at all, and this has been working so far.

    Don't be discouraged, I like the way I am, I bet I'd like the way you are too, so I hope this helps

    I kinda figure that the pole isn't secure in the ground, like whoever installed it did it poorly and not deep enough into the ground. When you back up into it, it begins to tip over until you have the top under the car. When you try going forward, it rights itself. I've seen something similar with different kinds of poles and when they are upright, they look completely fine.

    I figure that if you backed up with enough force to drive up the pole, the bumper would be more damaged.

    I guess, but wasn't the point of bumble to turn that on it's head? Like, traditionally, the guy on a dating site is supposed to come up with a semi-witty first text in order to not be buried. Bumble set itself apart by having the lady message first to avoid that, right? What happened?

    They're saying that people who are buying these sorts of vehicles on Craigslist would pay so much more money for such a simple addition. It's kind of like how people in the early 2000's would add a rear wing to their car and call it a sports car; if you add a snorkel, it's now a off-road vehicle and worth much more in those peoples eyes.

    He mentioned before that maybe the process for making humans good and retaining free will necessarily requires evil to exist. It's possible that by definition, suffering must exist, not that God couldn't do it. Kinda like how, by definition, you can't make a four sided triangle; it's not that God wouldn't be powerful enough to do that, it's that a triangle requires three sides by definition. Maybe the incorporation of free will requires suffering, even suffering not caused by the choices people make?

    Kinda? The Fallout series definitely attracts these kind of people, but the message of the games go completely over their heads. Because they can play out their facist fantasies, they don't realize how those routes are showing what's fucked up about that kind of thinking. If they could realize that sort of thing, they wouldn't be have those sorts of fantasies in the first place.

    Isn't the wallet thing kinda backwards though? Like, it's not as if we all had wallets perfectly sized to carry this kind of paper money before the paper dollar was introduced.

    I figure that if coins had been the predominant form of currency for at least the past century, we'd have a great way to carry coins other than a pouch, and paper money would be inconvenient.

    When people typically talk about the "best" person who could be in office, they don't mean out of the candidates running in the election. They're talking about all the possible candidates that the DNC could have put forward to run for President this time around, instead of Biden.

    Is there a such thing as a polarized C1 connector?

    I found a radio from 2003 that was missing a power cord, and I first thought it needed a polarized C7 power cord, but it won't fit at all. Looking at it more closely, it looks like a polarized C2 connector, but it's also locking? I tried searching online but I couldn't find anything for the C1/C2 connectors that's polarized, not even considering the locking aspect. Is this something anyone is familiar with? It's not a high end or particularly old radio or anything. [Here is a link to a picture, I wasn't able to upload it to lemmy directly. ](https://ibb.co/fpLm5Fw)
