Unfortunately a lot of the mods to make it happen are designed to not be noticed by the DMV inspectors. It's a whole industry committed to industriously dumping as much soot into the atmosphere. If only that industriousness could be used for good; good doesn't make as much money or "own the libs" as much as obnoxiously killing the Earth, I guess.

Short answer, it's not. It's effectively legal because the circle Venn Diagram of those who would roll coal and have Punisher/Back the Blue stickers on their trucks and absolutely zero enforcement, but it's TECHNICALLY illegal.

I'm playing through "Fable: Anniversary" right now, and the nostalgia is like a drug.

I mean, what the Hell have we been doing for the last 3 years? Journalists, historians, and other folks have really been ringing this bell since 2016, and started ringing it louder on January 6, 2021. You can only scream the truth so loudly, and hand-wringing that people "aren't talking about it enough" when it has been said publicly by high-profile folks for years seems disingenuous and written to generate clicks.

Yeah, we know. We keep saying it. Stop trying to make it seem like you're the only one who has the chutzpah to say it out loud.

A reminder to everyone that Costco sells caskets: https://www.costco.com/funeral-caskets.html

And every funeral home legally has to allow you to purchase the casket elsewhere per the FTC: https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/ftc-funeral-rule (That doc also has a lot of other useful tips in it.)

I don't like having the root causes of my mental health issues put on display for everyone to see (though "month" or "year," or maybe "lifetime" might be more accurate...)

That seems like a lot of work for not that much more payoff than just hiring a couple of meth heads to do the same thing.

Also, why do we need coffee AND cocaine? I feel like the caffeine is just superfluous at that point.
