Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

No thanks, just posting my personal feelings on the subject. Actually engaging with the moderators on this would be tantamount to board-induced suicide. I was just posting a pet peeve of mine and maybe venting at a perceived "injustice" as I am wont to do. If anything, it should be something that comes from the more active members of the community and not me.
Hopefully, someday, maybe one of these moderators will actually realize that stifling these comments should not be the go-to movement every single time. Or maybe I will realize that every discussion thread, even general or miscellaneous ones, needs rigid structure and not allowing any detour to be allowed. [/s, BTW - this is a heightened exaggeration of the "issue" for comedic effect]
I have no idea how driving tests will be performed in the near future or on some of the advanced models these days. When an examiner tells you to parallel park (if they tell you that, anymore), and you just press a button and relax a second... is that good or bad? I seem to recall the exam testing if my lights worked or not, but I don't think I've turned my (automatic) lights on or off in about ten years (and three cars).
I've been on this board 15 years and I've never found it to be a suicide mission to engage moderators in a reasoned conversation. I believe Comments via PM is intended in part to keep the threads from being constantly derailed by people who argue everything with the mods.
As you wish. I understand that you don't really want to discuss it, but perhaps I can just address a couple of your points?
Yes, it is part of our infraction procedures, which is why we all do it. Would you really want to see multiple threads devolve into back and forth discussions/arguments on moderator actions?
We have something similar... the Moderator Actions forum. Any member who receives an infraction, if they do not feel satisfied after discussing the issue with the moderator via PM, has the right to open the issue in MA. All of those discussions are carried out in public. And it has the benefit of keeping the discussions all in one place, so that individual threads aren't bogged down with this type of thing. All we ask is that the member tries to resolve things through PM first. If that doesn't work, then there is the public venue that you prefer.
I was scrolling through Youtube suggestions last night, and I noticed a video of a guy from high school who used to date my best friend. He did a comedic tumbling routine. I hadn't thought of him in probably 50 years and it was very strange for this to pop up. Nice to see him and his routine, but it was sure a blast from the past. So, now paranoia is beginning to rise. Why was this chosen for me? Very creepy...
The examiner would probably not permit you to use any automation for parking. There is always the possibility of the system not working. Look how often the warp core ejectors would go offline right when a warp core breech was imminent.
I've never had any problem doing a full rear pivot in my driver's seat, for reversing, without leveraging an arm against the passenger's. Then again, I have fairly long legs. Maybe that's got something to do with it.
Now that I'm thinking about it, the one noticeable difference between me & people I've seen do it, is that their head stays slightly more level. My head, & thereby my view, is angled more diagonally, but I still see back there just fine, & the angled view is something I'm just use to

GameStop is basically cryptocurrency right now. The value of the stock is divorced from any estimates of the value of the company.
And I'm cryin' myself to sleep every night thinking about all those "poor" hedge funds getting fleeced. But I know they will win when it's done.
The Internet isn't as addictive as some claim.

The hedge funds are getting outmaneuvered. The amateur investors who didn't come in till after the price went up are being fleeced.
