Unless the person who I parked behind pulled out, which is totally possible, I parked right behind them. But that would totally make sense because it was a large car I parked behind, if a smaller car pulled in it probably looked goofy. When I went out this morning to leave for work my car was the only one left on the block so I’ll never know!!

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you left too much space in front, between the other car. But I've never heard of people getting upset about that here in Philly, and you said someone fit behind you. But that is something people get upset about in places with terrible parking, as if you leave too much space then not as many cars can fit on the block. So it could be that, and the person who left the note has a long car.

Not accusing you or anything, just theorizing here

people always say this drivel like being able to buy guns like cheeseburgers doesn't contribute to the issue just because the last transaction in the chain was the dude getting the gun from his brother.

are you willing to bet that this gun was at some point purchased legally? I am.

Don't worry about reporting your stolen gun, or having any criminal responsibility for leaving your gun on your front porch with your 10 friends who all have felonies -- someone would need to prove you somehow have culpability in the crime for you to face literally any repercussions.

The courts will actually go after you harder if your car is stolen and the person gets parking tickets than if your gun is stolen and used in a violent crime.

Additionally, Originalism is in direct conflict with the Founders intentions. They knew their ideas would grow stale and new ideas would need to take their place. From Thomas Jefferson,

>[N]o society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation.

In fact, in that little writing he argues constitutions and laws should only last 19 years. Not sure I'm quite that far, but the 'intent' couldn't be more clear. Jefferson believed he was wildly unqualified to govern the world of his grandchildren, let alone the world of 2023.

Straighten the wheel out… your car could quickly get all sorts of damage if they make contact with your wheel as it’s angled out. We have a couple compact cars where I live and they tend to be the worst offenders of parking to ensure there’s room for everyone. Tbf, the worst offenders tend to have license plates from NJ
