Sure. Because you need thermal imaging to read a license plate.

More organs means more human.

You don't have to pay for trash collection service in your city?

Me: These subscription costs are really getting crazy. We should cancel any that we don't use regularly and just resubscribe when we have something specific that we want to watch.

My partner every couple of weeks ever since: I would still cancel [service that you use at least once a week but I rarely do].

Me: And I would cancel [service that you use once every few months but I never do].

And here we are, with subscriptions for most services.

That word is used to describe female children, not adult women.

Honestly, I would guess you're one of a very small minority, yeah. Because phones get lost, stolen, or confiscated by fascist "law enforcement" pretty commonly. Or someone you know picks it up while you're gone.

Most people like a degree of privacy. Even my grandma has a pin on her phone.

Time to stock up on old cars?

And you're wearing jeans.

They are flimsier. Look up "fast fashion".

Frequently buying new clothes is pushed on girls from multiple social and economic directions, including ones that really are conspiracies. For example, an industry working together (alongside partner industries) to make their clothes degrade faster so that they need to be replaced that much more often.

I bought shoes in the boys' section pretty regularly, as a girl, until the boys' shoe size growth dramatically outpaced girls'. So you could not shop in the men's section because their smallest size is one half or one size (or more) above yours.

For me, it's that they often say that they fit up to size 8, and I am a true 7.5 (as in, a 7 will not fit me and an 8 will not fit me).

Do I want socks that are a little tight or socks that are too big?

It's worse with shoes, though, especially when you are looking at ones designed for a niche context. They will often not have half sizes at all. For example, I have wetsuit boots that are sizes 7 and 8. They both fit poorly. I can get the 7s on, but they are way too tight, and I slosh around in the 8s. I have water shoes in the same sizes. 7 is too small to put on and 8 flops off the back of my heel like a flip flop.

Show me wet socks in boots in the middle of a cold winter to win this contest.
