I call them 'vanity pickup trucks'

Oh it just occurred to me-- it's written by AI?!

Do people even think AT ALL before writing

I really can't picture "aggressively chalking"

Do you deny that you are trolling?

I did understand that the original reply was trolling, but I couldn't resist...

Which everyone who has a home pays

In Canada cyclists DO pay for roads. Maintenance for roads comes out of municipal and provincial taxes, which EVERYONE PAYS

Not funny in the slightest

You do know that cyclists pay taxes that pay for roads too, right

My philosophy is: adults can eat whatever they want, when they want!

Toll must be paid.
Also, I've thought from the very first picture of your daughter here, what big eyes! Beautiful baby

I tried my best but I'm unable to assign any meaning to this random jumble of words

Yup agreed.
We just have to do our best to talk to our kids, hope they are sensible and have a good group of friends who look out for each other, and make sure they feel they can call if they need help.
Being good at biting your tongue helps too...

Yes but. Having raised 3 kids, I found that they each had a STRONG opinion about which school and program they chose. In large part determined by which school their friends chose

The point to be made is that they're going to drink alcohol no matter what you do, so if you provide it and supervise, you can keep them safe. Damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario

Babies. They're just lucky they're so darn cute!

open, so you just walk towards the exact middle

OK I asked Google what this is, because I'm curious that way, and I'm glad I did! A Norman Door: those sliding doors that open with sensors, and have coloured arrows showing you which segment slides open, but I always get it wrong. I need something that says "Walk Here!" Or both sides should slide

It's just TOO BAD that it's too long to fit on a licence plate!

Also they don't understand how a person can behave morally unless they have god/ Jesus telling them what good behaviour is, and that people only behave well because they are afraid of God's judgement

I was drunk when it happened and didn't remember, and since then I've never taken off my shirt-- so I never noticed, and nobody around me ever saw it either
