“stop the gatekeeping and negativity” as a defense of predatory gambling shit in games. guess it was just a matter of time til some kids who just grew up with this shit think of it as normal and bend backwards to defend it with social justice language lol.  you know there’s a more dignified way to live than doing the…

I dunno man the state of the mobile market is not really the hill to die on.

Sorry gacha deserves to get shit on, its a blight upon mankind. Your friends that enjoy them could enjoy the exact same games without being monetized out of every available orifice.

They keep getting their police cars yanked form underneath them....

Ding ding ding. A $50K car may not be much in the grand scheme of luxury sport sedans, but treating a serious adult buyer (coming in on a scheduled appointment, no less) like a 16 year old who showed up with two of their friends the day after they got their license to go on a joyride?

Hey, remember when y’all were like “This is such a great car! I can’t wait to buy one slightly used in five years!”

Seems silly to do a major lifecycle refresh to simply cancel it the following model year. This doesn’t seem to make sense.

Why the hell should I be ticketed if my light goes out and I don’t realize it...

Can we still pull over those left lane campers? Because that is a crime against humanity.

I would say where I live, the police don’t stop anyone for anything. Sheesh, even the police don’t abide by traffic laws. 

“They’re a teenager on learner’s permit, everyone is aware they’re not ready to drive on their own”

This is definitely an automatic equipped car and it is really quite easy to see what gear one is in.

Empty beer bottle and a funnel. Put beer bottle down in the drain with the garbage disposal (because holds the bottle perfectly). Drain oil/grease into bottle using a funnel. Throw bottle away when it cools.  Repeat as needed.

yup.  pickle jars for me are the best oil disposal solution.

Counterpoint: Old glass jars (pickle, jam, whatever) with lids work better. They won’t melt if your used oil is still hot when you pour it in, and they have a wider mouth.

In my (reckless) youth, I owned several vehicles on the verge of disintegration. To my incredible fortune, none of them failed on the road. I had a few roadside cobble job repairs, but always arrived at my destination in reasonable time. I even drove two of them directly to the salvage yard - no tow needed!

Got my first full-time, “adult” job in the spring of 1993. To celebrate, I traded in the 1987 VW Fox (yes, I said “VW Fox,” which Wikipedia is helpful to point is “Not to be confused with Audi Fox”) that my parents bought me for a new Mazda MX-6 LS (in black).

‘99 Tacoma.

Ten years ago in high school I bought a 1995 Honda Accord with ridiculously high miles on it. The odometer showed 240,000 but I think it was probably much higher than that.
