Hindsight and all that.
It took me longer than I’d like to admit to start canceling/ghosting the idiots one meets from Craigslist and eBay encounters. These are the people who ask the dumb questions, want to haggle on something marked firm, want to meet at 123 Sketchy Blvd. at 2 AM, etc. One guy was fifteen minutes into explaining what he was using the hand truck I sold him for when I said ‘fuck it’ and closed the garage door on him.
Life’s too short for dumb people.
Is a hand truck a very small truck?
Edit: TIL, thank you for the replies.
I’m Mexican, and for some reason we call that “diablito”. Our more civilized Spanish speakers call it “carretilla de carga”.
It’s a small (often two wheeled) L shaped cart. Alternatively called a dolly.
What is this, a truck for hands?!
Only the uninformed call that a “dolly”. That is a “hand-truck”. A hand truck features a vertical, L-shaped design with an upright handle, two wheels, and a small bottom ledge whereas a dolly has a raised, flat platform that typically has four wheels.
Thanks for cuming to my Ted talk
Clearly it’s a ‘sack-truck’ but then UK and US are nations divided by a common language.
You lost the war, it’s hand-truck brit. Next time win your own war if you want to control the names of tools lmao.
Makes no difference it’s still called what it’s called here, you can call it what you like, because you will anyway.
‘The customer is always right’ … doesn’t mean anything any more.
Don’t get me wrong - actual customers will always have no power no matter what platform there is.
The problem these days is that sellers, competitors, marketers and salesmen have co-opted the idea of ‘customers’ to screw over the entire system for everyone - customers and sellers.
Whatever you do in online sales, whether it is selling or buying … never trust anyone and don’t promise anything beyond what you are originally expected to do.
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
On the base of the statue of liberty is a plaque that reads:
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
What that plaque should instead say, is…
Capitalism is like a cancer that invades, infects and destroys everything it touches. When you think it about the definitions for successful capitalism and cancer are exactly the same … runaway, unrestricted and unlimited growth is the goal.
Along with something welcoming immagrants to a land where immagrants are hated, and treated as less than second class citizens in a land filled with racism and hate.
I’m not saying I support or agree with these ideas. I’m just saying if we’re going to put a plaque on a symbol of our nation, it should at least be honest.
