I think you are overthinking the issue as the answer is quite simple. Changing the oil in a car is easy, yet people bring it to a quick lube shop and pay someone else to do it for them because either they do not have the time or desire to do it themselves. Supermarkets around where I live are hiring personal shoppers like mad. Surely most people can push a cart around the isles and grab the things they need, yet quite a lot of people pay a small fee to have someone do it for them. Overthinking things is kind of what I do, so I will admit to a bit of that. But this doesn't seem that way. Not completely. At the risk of proving you right, though, I will point out that the phrase "changing oil in a car" is not considered a recreational activity in my country. Is it something you consider "fun" in Ooozebecky-becky-becky-stan-stan? Or is that some sort of prison slang you picked up in "the joint"? 😉 Edited January 17, 2020 by quixoteprog

I have a moral obligation to challenge your different opinion: I suck! 😄 (BTW, my most recent posts were meant to be wry humor, but I guess that got burned up in the heat of this thread. I'll slink away quietly now, and let the rest of you continue bashing each other in peace. *wink*) Edited January 17, 2020 by Rathulfr punctuation counts @Rathstar Energy/Energy Blaster (50+3) on Everlasting Energy/Temporal Blaster (50+3) on Excelsior Energy/Willpower Sentinel (50+3) on Indomitable Energy/Energy Sentinel (50+1) on Torchbearer

Do you truly not believe that there are people on this planet that actually enjoy automobile maintenance?
ShardWarrior Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Yes I think it safe to say oil changing the car perhaps is more an American thing. 😁

When the base opinion sucks and is based on idiocy, it should be challenged. When others attempt to control what those around them do when no actual harm is befalling them, they should be challenged. If you think people like me suck, I applaud your continued right to share that opinion and will in no way attempt to stop you nor will I attempt to stop myself from explaining that you're wrong. 2

Well, obviously, this is not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products. 1

You're the one seeking to control with an attitude like that. Here's some advice, don't make your problem with someone's opinions into their problem.

Retired Game Master GM Tock Posted January 17, 2020 Retired Game Master Posted January 17, 2020 Powerlevelling isn't what the discussion is about. I think the last post about in game gambling is a few screens back. Let's move on. 3
