It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

And this is why you have to ask a service associate to get bolt cutters from the back storeroom for you at Lowe's and Home Depot.

More so you don’t use it to break THEIR antitheft inside the store, but yeah.

Or do like what the people are the bike rental company I went to did.

They wore regular clothes and took an angle grinder with them (the key broke in the U-lock).

Kindly ask the nearest shop to plug the angle grinder to cut open the lock on the bike that was in the street, went on with it and left with the bike.

No one bother to ask any question.
