  • the seller explicitly reached out

    The times the seller didn’t do that. A few times now I’ve ordered something with no tariff charges mentioned not realizing that I was ordering out of country only to get an email saying it’s being held by the delivery company, they paid to get it through customs, and won’t deliver until I pay them.

    That’s just things that I’ve bought directly from other countries though. Most goods just have higher prices to cover any tariffs (or just because they can). I promise you even if you haven’t paid a tariff directly, you’re still paying.





  • As someone who used to work carwashes for a few years, I don’t really give a shit, it’s my job and I get paid by the hour. If I wasn’t rinsing off your car I’d be rinsing the next one, and if there wasn’t one to rinse then I’d be cleaning something in the wash bay or something, and tbh I’d rather clean cars than the wash bay.

    As a driver, that’s kinda dangerous, even if it’s only for a short distance. It’s only a few seconds to brush off the snow, it takes barely more time than scraping the windshield.

    Here’s my routine: with my arm brush off enough snow around the door that I can open it without any falling inside, start the car, turn on defrost, efficiently push snow off the car with broad strokes (I’m not getting every flake, but anything you could make a snowball out of, you know?), scrape windshield and if necessary mirrors and other windows I need to see out of. By now it’s been a couple minutes and you’ve at least given your engine the chance to warm up a little bit, which you should do in the winter anyway.

    There’s a little bit of dog in there too imo. Like the scene right after the climax when hiccup wakes up, toothless holds in his excitement for a moment before he zoomies all over the room. I used to have a lab that did the exact same thing down to the stare, shaking, and lip-licking before the explosion.
