Wouldn't that be what smears your gears? :sly:

No, it wouldn't smear anything because it would tear if you put any pressure at all on it. You have to make it as thick as a book to get anything done.

What grinds my gears?

Single ply toilet paper...

That still exists?

Surprisingly, nothing is grinding my gears today. I've just got out of bed so the chances are by the time I shower, eat and do something I'll have something to rant about.

Ah, there we go, no smokes left. :grumpy:

Oh yes, it most definitely does. :grumpy:

I concur with ParkourVeyron - it's horrible. It's all they have at the university, but that's not even the major reason why I try to avoid the washrooms unless I'm desperate... public washrooms are a big gear-grinder, now that I come to think of it...
 
At least you get paper in public toilets. In China one must take his own handipack.

Believe it or not it does. Where I'm at they use it because it's "Better for the piping system." I found something that's better, but not that much. I know this rant isn't up to your standards shem. :p
 
I was watching some dude "clean" his yard by equipping himself with a leaf blower and blowing them into one pile, and then blew them on the street when the wind picked up..... I was waiting for the bus while this was happening and her neighbour across the street even showed disapproval of such activity.

Leaf blowers are so dumb to me. It's like taking a broom and sweeping the dust and debris around the floor and then leaving it afterwards; it doesn't get rid of it and thus just a waste of effort...

... if anything, reverse the fan's direction, suck up the leaves and toss it in a paper bin for garbage day so it's removed from the scene altogether.

Well, at least you could theoretically bring your own 2-ply. :)

When you're told you have the skills and mindset to be a dictator, but you live in Canada :p.

Whoa - whoever said you couldn't just offer your services to some other country? :sly: Although I'm quite sure that a dictatorial style of government here wouldn't work in the slightest. We're too polite for that! :dunce:

Also, why do people think you'd make a good dictator?? Should we be worried? :scared:
 
@AMCNUT: Hmm... A country in a dire financial situation could use my hard-nosed leadership. Greece, Italy, etc. Don't need to be worried to much, my brain is just wired differently.

Only if you're a Brony. :lol:

What grinds my gears, Sketchup running so slowly. :mad: Lags almost constantly. In fact not almost, it's worse than that. Then I realized that it's because it needs a graphics card to run properly, makes me want my graphics card to come even earlier. :D

Any particular policies you'd implement if you had your way? I'm curious how you'd carry off your administration!

How many OTHER people's gears would end up grinding? :lol:
 
AMCNUT: In the case of Greece, institute new laws forcing those who do not pay taxes to be sent to prison, and all money in their name taken by the state, and a rioters will be shot and killed act. I would then sign contracts with Russia to help build a powerful army, air force, and navy, which I would use to take over Italy without firing a weapon. I would then institute laws as done in Greece. I would continue to strengthen my military by signing agreements with China, in exchange for a takeover of the USA. (China owns majority of USA debt). With control of the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and assistance from Russia, I would seize control of Canada. The fact this'll NEVER happen grinds my already grounded gears.

Perhaps the fact that none of that will happen is a good thing! :sick: It sounds rather megalomaniac to me! I'm all for for changing the state of the nations and ensuring those who are responsible pay for their past indiscretions, but I don't think mass arrests and *other* reductions of the population will endear you to anyone, not least of all the larger powers. Just FYI.

The art of good statesmanship is as much about knowing what not to do as well as what to do. But if you ever become the Greek leader I want the post of Foreign Minister! :sly:

Reminds me of someone.......can't quite put my finger on it.........oh, yeah, Hitler! :lol:
 
I'll change my 2-3 lifetime to 5-6 lifetimes as the UN and of course, the U.S. will interfere with your plans and create war with you regardless of your Russian allies.
 
I think the threat of nuclear warfare would throw off the USA's plan for war, plus Greece doesn't have oil :sly:.

Our schools have splitting 2-ply sandpaper. :lol: lol
 
Well, how many would you kill? Personally, were I to purge my ccountry of offending elements I would favour deportation for the vast majority - perhaps detention for a few of the most dangerous revolutionaries and enemies of the state.

It would surely allow history to be kinder towards you.
 
I would hire AMCNUT as the consultant to the head of state (me) to rationalize my plans :lol:. @Cowboys965: We just have one-ply at our school. I have to eat cheese to avoid having to use the school toilets. :grumpy:
 
I can't believe anyone would use their school toilets unless it was an absolute emergency!

Well, as long as you're envisioning yourself taking the helm of a minor power such as Greece there's not a whole lot either of us could do!

But here's a safe start: ally yourself to a Great Power that has enough in common with your aims so as to not interfere with domestic policy. Proceed to kiss 🤬 so that they will prevent others from interfering with domestic policy. Then maintain a delicate balance of power until you've become strong enough militarily, economically, and culturally to begin forging your own way in foreign policy.

But as EliteDreamer says, these things will take time. You can't restructure a state from top to bottom overnight. By the time the last point of my plan would become a reality we will have both passed on into the history books! :sly:

So choose your successors wisely...

Are you that afraid to go take a pee?

Based on the public washrooms in Toronto, I can see how shem's fears would be justified over in China...
