Sporting Events FAQ, Liveblog, and BANGERS - Page 476 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

There is no SZ conspiracy. I go in every now and again and people just talk about ball. Im always open to start beefs there but everyone seems to get along and ****. Occasional lols at bad posters but everyone already knew Triumph sucks and tuq is a terrible mod anyway.

is this the offending post?

If that is the offending post it's pretty LOL since tuq trolled Chilltown for like a year straight and didn't get banned. I believe we will just refer to this as "standard tuq" from here on out.

Sounds like we should have an SE MBP discussion thread broken out of our LC thread.

Also, I get irrationally tilted that Oregon won't let me pump my own gas. This is exacerbated x100 that I had to nevertheless still get out of my car in order to pay via ATM.

I knew a kid who though the South was backwards because you had to pump your own gas.

He was from New Jersey.

Free Chilltown asap imo.

I have 3 gas stations close to me and 2 of those you have to pump yourself.

I'd say that 99% of the time I pump my own gas. And I have equal access to self and full service stations. Going to full service just never occurs to me.

If I go to a local filling station then I have to do it myself, however if I go to the old "wink wink, out of the way" station they do it for me.

It costs more and it's not exactly a difficult task.

So what? There are other factors involved obviously in gas prices. The cost of having to hire someone else at some stations definitely increases the price.

Ok, fair enough. Still doesn't change my mind on the matter that having some kid pump my gas > pumping it myself.

And would be even lower without the gas guys there.

To recap why this is beyond ******ed to mandate all full-serve (most places don't even offer full-service anymore fwiw).

1. Pull up
2. Wait for random dude to walk up to you (not always immediate and sometimes time consuming)
3. Get out of car, slide debit/credit card through machine
4. Get into car as he pumps the car
5. Sit and wait, hoping that when the gas is done pumping the guy is there so you don't have to wait any further
6. Pay extra for this privilege
