I'm mostly just poking at you. I totally understand what you mean.

So when you said "takes all the wind out of" did you mean that it made it better? Because it sounds like your ability to enjoy things is rather fragile as well.

My first car was a manual and I still texted while I drove, because I was a stupid teenager. I wised up pretty quick and got a voice-activated bluetooth headset. It might help discourage them, but at the very least, the manual will make them better drivers!

I wish we could just ban video games, look three decades into the future, show people that nothing will change, then remove the ban and get back to business.

This is why I should read ALL of the comments before commenting myself, heh.

I don't think that's passive aggression. She's pretty clearly agitated and annoyed by the situation and she's being very clear and explicit about what she wants to happen.

That's what it looked like to me. Still scary as shit, but not as impressive as actually shutting down the engine and having it stay, heh.

I'm high and I do see a difference, so I think you're good.

Exactly. Just because someone is a douche, it doesn't mean they suddenly lose their rights. Granted, it's easy to fall into that trap, but the reality is that ALL of us are douches at one point or another. It's the same reason you can't restrict free speech just because it's a minority opinion. One day, you might be…

Yep. The "it's a weapon" argument or "we feel threatened" (see the case of the woman who was filming a traffic stop from her own property and was arrested because the cops "felt threatened") are complete bullshit and our legal system has seen right through it. Cops can and should be under constant surveillance. It's…

They have so few things to get boners about, I'm willing to let them have their adorable, misguided fun about 1812.

I always enjoyed writing in cursive when I was younger. Something about how it flowed when I was writing just felt right. As I got older most of my high-school classes required us to print, except my English teacher, because he was awesome.

I'm not sure if you can actually use it as a verb, but a chock is a wood block or a ramp-shaped thing that keeps a trailer or large vehicle or airplane in place. So I guess it works really well to chock your tires with and makes it safer, thereby reducing the hazards of getting crushed? Seems like a bad idea to me,…

The logic you assume I'm using is faulty. Think better. She used words, he physically touched her, proverbially breaking her bones. It's not a difficult concept, you just have to be smarter than a 6-year-old.

You misunderstand. I'm not saying I DON'T believe this, just that I've been conditioned not to, because April Fools' day is a stupid and mostly un-funny holiday. Although that dihydrogen monoxide prank was funny as shit. I've only ever heard that in joke form, but never as a "War of the Worlds" type thing, however…

Can we just get rid of April Fools' day? I've been conditioned to not believe anything I see that has that date listed.

I don't understand the people who are saying they were both at fault. You are aware that words cannot break bones, right? There's even an easy-to-remember rhyme that goes with that concept, in case you're still confused. I laughed twice at "you can't talk to me like that."

I really hope this guy helps inspire a new generation of space-lovers. He's so fucking awesome.

I believe that Freddie Mercury watches over all of us too.
