Thye only thing that I have to add is that despite ‘innocent until proven guilty’, things like ‘If you rear end someone, it’s automatically your fault unless there’s something mitigating that you can prove.’ still exist. He’s suggesting the same verbiage type for cyclists. If you hit a cyclist, it’s your fault. It may…

I mean, do we need any of it? We could get around on cross country skis if we wanted to.

yeah, people always say ‘BUT SNOW TIRES ON 2WD ARE BETTER THAN AWD ON ALL SEASONS!’

I’m actually shocked that the seller cleaned the car before taking photos. So many for sale ads are just a blurry night shot of the rear quarter and the seller doesn’t bother to even clean out the interior before posting.

Porsche Design is a ‘different company’ than Porsche AG. It’s a wholly owned subsidiary but was ostensibly setup to be like Braun and the like, offering design services to other companies. There’s no Porsche crests on the Porsche Design products, so this isn’t Porsche emblazoning their logo on garbage swag.

I used to have a guy at work give me shit about my VR6 GTI with a Remus exhaust on it. It wasn’t even loud and even if it was, I never drove into the parking lot revving over 2000rpm anyway. He sure didn’t mind any of the guys with straight piped Harleys or the Flowmaster’d Camaros, though.

So much of this is people…

Even if it was... it’s a 15 second inconvenience/discomfort. They aren’t big enough that anything would take very long to get in there, plus it was pre-flight. Meaning people are going to be getting up and getting settled in for a while. People need to chill the fuck out.

Looks like the light post. At the end you can see the light post fall over. 

They want more devs and less hosting staff for some reason. “We’ll just run it in the cloud! We don’t need any capital investment then.”

But if you had $1500 to buy a used car, your pervious car wouldn’t have gotten repossessed, most likely. So anything you can go buy right now is < one car payment’s worth of cash.

I didn’t say it was cheaper, I said it was affordable, and even that was in quotes. Renting a domicile is a lot more affordable than renting a car. To rent a shitbox Mitsubishi Mirage is > $1400/month from Enterprise. That’s not an option for anyone because if you can afford $1400 a month for more than 2 months, you’d…

Also add that the ease of repossession and the need to get to work means people will skimp on everything else first to pay the auto note in most cases. And even as expensive as cars are today, they are chump change compared to a house almost everywhere.

This. This is how big companies avoid ‘laying people off’ and all the negative connotations that go with it. ‘The office was underutilized, so we’re moving all the positions to these other much larger offices instead.’ I used to work for IBM and they did this twice while I worked there. Our office is outside of…

That’s what I don’t get about so many of these people. Why say ANYTHING? You have NOTHING to gain and a LOT to lose. Why did JK Rowling have to wade into those waters? She’s clearly not homophobic, as evidenced by her retconning so much queerness into the HP universe.

All you need to do is shut the fuck up and keep…

Right?! Like... what’s the upside? The ‘good guy with a gun’ fallacy? Like... take this for example:

The same group of people that scream about ‘NOT LIVING IN FEAR’ so they won’t take simple precautions to prevent getting sick or getting other people sick also NEED to have guns to ‘protect my family’. I worked with a guy that proudly said he wouldn’t go to the one casino near us because they wouldn’t let him open…

The worst part is, they DID get theirs... but it’s still not enough for any of them. They have to do their damnedest to make sure that theirs is the ONLY boat that rises with the tide. That’s the most disgusting part. They act like having power or rights is a zero sum game.

The Large Marge scene in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure scared the fuck out of me when I was 5 and saw it in the theater.

Came for Return to Oz. I may have been 5 or so when I first saw it in the 80's. 

I still sing this any time my wife makes sausage with breakfast. My 8 year olds have no idea, but my wife and I still smirk at each other. We also love to say ‘YOU GOT THE JOB, BUDDY! TELEPHONE REPAIR MAN!’
