Judo/wrestling is an incredibly involved and complex discipline. A 165 lb Gracie once beat a 275 lb Shamrock because his vastly superior grappling skills. If it was just about strength. Shamrock would break Gracie over his knee.

I don’t think they let it sink as much as they accidentally helped it sink as they tried to make sure it spent as little time as possible in their jurisdiction

For me, it is a lot easier to swallow the story about some rich guys who volunteered for danger than the poor folks who were trying to escape their miserable circumstances and drowned in the process. The rich people story for me was about the drama of a possible rescue. The Med/Refugee story was something I felt I…

I’m surprised by all the NDs. This car is very rare in good shape and iconic.

That’s pretty cynical, Do you think it’s that no one cares, or is it that reading about 300 dead desperate people, half of which were probably kids is fucking too unbearable to track on a daily basis?

The media responds to the market. And the market clicks on/tunes into things with a some sort of twist. The market doesn’t like the all too common sinking refugee story, it’s fucking hopeless and overwhelming. The rich guy rescue mission at least offers a glimmer of possibility.

I’m curious about where you read bout this (not in a skeptical dick way)

So...You are an expert on Adventure insurance?

DeSantis is not just a racist, he’s a sports idiot.

I hate the idea of anybody spending four days waiting to die and probably running out of food and water while being stuck in a tiny tube. I sincerely hope it was a much quicker and much more forgiving departure.

Sometimes people are arrogant, sometimes people are stupid, sometimes people are unlucky. They all should be rescued if possible and if some of them can afford it, they should pay the bill.

If it were that simple. I have a lot of dissonance when it comes to TERFs. One one hand I believe trans women are women. On the other hand I am well aware that the penis is often used to subjugate, dehumanize and abuse cis and trans women.

I just checked and with 707 votes over 3% of voter’s did NP. Around 21 people voted for the idea that a person should drop 60k for a car almost no-one wants, or ever wanted.

But the sticker says “Collectors Edition!”

That was a dry joke.

The 99% is the important part of what you are saying. Because “cis” defines 99% (or whatever large number it is) of the population it is impossible for it to be effectively used as a slur.

“Wait, what!? The feminist hate the Trans, too? Daaaaaaaamn”

Sorry that I failed to set off your sarcasm radar.

I, like others, do not own a Mark VIII because of the mass button delete. What is sad, is that they did not figure out a way to re introduce a reasonable amount of buttons for the refresh and I fear, that my days with the GTI/R are over for good as this is the last generation.

Wait???
