The words "straight" and "level" do not compute when applied to pavement in Connecticut, lol.
I've considered starting a petition to get our state renamed from "The Constitution State" to "The Construction State"...

Y'know, it's one thing to dislike pizza. It's another thing to come to the pizza-lover's club and mention how pizza would be so much better if they were a hotdog. Then try to convince people that the problem with pizza is that they're not hotdogs by appealing to your own tastes.

I love Snarf threads, though Snarf rarely ever returns. I think Snarf might just have everyone blocked and has no idea a discussion is even happening. Probably for the best.When everyone in a thread is arguing against someone you have blocked, that blocked person essentially becomes imaginary.

My wife cut his hair once.
EDIT: I should add, she didn't know who he was specifically but found out from the other hair stylists that he was a movie star. She remarked to me how short he was, and this coming from someone who is 5.0-5.1 feet (154-156cm)

The actual reason is more banal; my return to the threads that I create is like a box of crayons in a kindergarten classroom ... pointless.
I usually try and lay out a decent (and sometimes even nuanced) series of thoughts in the OP. So I'll often get some of the following responses:
A. You're right and you're a genius!
Don't get me wrong- I love this! I work for stiff Manhattans and expressions of adulation and admiration unsullied by caveats. But other than posting a gif of Han Solo saying, "I know," not sure what I can add to this.
B. You're wrong for reason X!
More often than not, reason X is something I already discussed in the OP. Now, I used to address this, usually by quoting the section of the OP where I already addressed it, but I have found that this isn't helpful. Thing is, people ... on the internet ... have an aversion to being wrong (I know, weird!). So I'd always get some variation of "How dare you assume people read what you wrote, especially when you write paragraphs," or "Why do do you demand people read what you write before arguing with you," or, "I don't care, you're still wrong." So I try not to do that.
C. You're wrong for reason Y!
People will argue that the post is wrong for some other reason. It may be a good reason, a bad reason, or it may be some pedantic nitpick. But I already said what I needed to say; if the person read it, and disagreed, then .... well, cool cool. That's like, their opinion, man!
As a bonus fun fact, during my semi-retirement I tested the limits of the block feature because I thought it would be funny.
1000. You can block 1000 people. No more.

I'm sure Sam Harris can help you with increasing that number.
