I didn't know Google even marked trails until this story, and sure enough I looked at some nearby trails I've been hiking for nearly 20 years, and they've got a few marked pretty well, but most are broken, jump wildly, are off by quite a bit, or in one case actually diverts into a posted, fenced off, active national guard firing range. I've been around there, the fence is spotty at best once you get about 30-50ft into the brush. Easy to walk into accidentally if you don't see the signs.

I would never use a non-dedicated app to tell me where a trail is, and if I don't know the trail, I will be constantly looking backward to make sure the trail is still easy to see. I've been up a hill more than once to turn around and the trail I just walked up almost disappeared in the changing light. I've been out after dark and I don't care to do so again, or in unfamiliar territory.

For when you don't need to strip mine the countryside 15 cubic meters at a time, bit still want to.

Who said sit and do nothing?

Who said don't vote?

All I said is they're both shitty options, and one is clearly more shitty.

I never once suggested not playing. I'm not sure why everyone seems to think that.

Literally all I said is they're both shitty options but one is clearly more shitty.

Yes, and they're the ones with more scoops of shit.

Yeah, I don't go back to places like that, I leave reviews, and I tell anyone who mentions car trouble "don't go to this place here"

There's a shop about 35 minutes from me I've been at for awhile now, they've saved me quite a bit of money over the years and the ONLY time I've had an issue with something, THEY contacted ME to ask me to come back in so they could fix a mistake.

I've had mechanics tell me my cabin filter is bad on a vehicle that didn't have one.

I've had mechanics show me how gross my spark plugs were in a diesel engine sedan.

I've had mechanics tell me I need new tires on a truck I had just replaced the tires on two weeks beforehand, and driven in mud.

I know more about my truck's issues than the guy who just did an oil change and casually glanced at a couple other things.

All that said, I still appreciate an actual mechanic (not the lube guy who started on Tuesday) telling me what they found wrong. You ever know when you might actually miss something.

But for real, fuck that spark plug guy.
