Wow, this reads like the mad ravings of an addict losing their fix. They really are terrified.

I don't think they are different? Here's what the phone, messaging, and contacts app icons look like on my pixel 8.

Edit: I'm a dummy. I just realized you meant the contacts' icons in each of those apps. I just confirmed those colors can vary between each app. I agree, that does seem like an oversight.

I'm in agreement with you, though I still think it's a fair suggestion for people putting the world before themselves to find another line of work too. I'm not saying that's the only reasonable suggestion. I'm all for trying to mitigate the risk of abuse and trauma in the first place. I took Optional's comment as an intended show of support to folks that might be struggling with similar abuse in their life.

If your job is causing you enough mental anguish to go through with suicide, it's reasonable to suggest you find another. That goes for any job.

Two things can be true at the same time!

A little late to reply, but thought I'd add my two cents.

Something that can be appreciated sooner: booties/mocs, mittens, and/or a trapper cap. These can all be lined with sheepskin or sherpa if they're in a colder climate or flannel if they're somewhere a little warmer.

Something that can be appreciated later: wet molded trays or bowls. These can also be tooled and painted if desired. Buckleguy sells premade molds, and Corter Leather has good guides on YouTube.

Something more for the parents: a tooled photo album cover.

Good riddance. Those assholes do not deserve the privilege of living there if they refuse to pay their due.

It's the same couchfucker. His birth name has changed a couple times, most recently to Vance around the time he graduated college.

Yeah, I'm with you. I tend to agree with the idea that fuel economy and emissions regulations incentivize auto makers to manufacture the ridiculously huge trucks we have today. I'm super curious to see if smaller body styles become a thing again once this incentive starts to evaporate.

That rings a bell now that you mention it. A shock title is so much more fitting!

Have you seen pics of it? It looks about the size of an old Toyota pickup.

I get the sentiment, but the braindead coal rollers are a pretty small minority. I don't doubt there's a demand for ev trucks, in fact the increased torque is pretty appealing, but one of the common concerns I've read is how towing anything substantial kills their range. This evaluation showed all trucks tested attaining less than half their non-towing range. Probably still enough for folks towing to the next town over and back, but it'd give me pause if I was hauling equipment to a worksite an hour or so away.
