Rolling coal is the practice of tampering with a vehicle’s emissions control system, causing it to spew black clouds of sooty exhaust.

Rolling coal is an extremely inefficient method of converting little dick energy into kinetic energy.

It’s only illegal if it’s enforced, and the people who roll coal are the same types of people that would enforce the rules.

Can we please actually enforce the rules on drivers though? These are so obviously illegal yet nothing is done.

Those vehicles should be impounded and converted into cubes on the spot by roaming hydraulic presses.

Fuck it, hit 'em hard. Been buying off eBay for 20-years, I like 'em. But this seems like a fine place to put our collective foot down and say, “No. You can’t do that.”

I was shafted by an Ebay seller who was nasty and awful. He acted like he was too stupid to understand why his item was not at all what I ordered. He had a 99.4% approval rating. I thought how the hell was that possible? I found out when I went to leave my negative rating and Ebay would not allow me to post the negative rating.

A seller shipped me a phone that was much worse than what I bought, and it wasn’t even the same brand. I returned it. However, the seller wouldn’t ship the right phone but still had the listing saying several were available. I couldn’t leave a negative review, which makes no sense, and I reported it to ebay, but as of yet nothing has happened to the seller that I can tell.

It’s really disappointing. I want an Amazon alternative, but it’s tough if I’m going to have to go through this crap.

We might just have to do without an alternative. I haven’t ordered off of Amazon probably 5+ years now, and it’s fine.

I used to use them all the time, they’ve been super shitty for about 10 years now. They don’t even show up in my searches anymore because I won’t buy from them. Come to think of it, neither does Amazon, he he.

I’d think that would make eBay complicit in any scams they block negative reviews for.

Good. Why not ban those oversized SUVs while you’re at it? They’re a serious danger to children and they’re not even good at hauling stuff!

Hard agree and also, because I love them but don’t hear them getting nearly enough shit alongside us, Canada is just a resource extraction megacorp masquerading as a country.
