It’s not tripe. There’s a strong sense of entitlement in the US.

I’m implying there’s a large contingent of Americans content to work the system instead of working a job. I know corporate America is brutal as far as hours works vs. vacation/holiday hours, but that part is not the problem I was referring to.

I’m all for rich people paying taxes, but Norway is nothing like the US. Life isn’t as good as it is in Norway because of its political system. It’s a small, homogeneous society where people work. Their levels of entitlement and greed are much lower than ours, but their morale code and work ethic are higher...…

Ah, I’ve got no kids, so it’s just extra weight to me!

Travelers is really good! Wish it got more hype. I started watching it purely based on Netflix recommending it. Had not seen anything written about it at the time.

In your weak attempt to be snide you merely questioned my grasp on numbers, which is why I think calculus is relevant. The study of statistics was not heavy in my major, but I did take two college statistics classes in addition to an AP high school class. I’m sure I’ve still got my TI-83+ somewhere...

Congrats, we’re tied on calculus, but I’ll raise you differential equations. And to qualify for a math minor I took linear algebra.

These thoughts are not mutually exclusive. I agree with everything you said in addition to the thought that there should be no backseat. 

This article is indeed too long. Do we really need a paragraph about how someone named grandpoobear replied to his DM? Feels like he really wanted to wedge in that name drop.

Did it really need that back seat to begin with? I’ve always been under the impression that a proper sports car doesn’t have a back seat.

I’m in the same boat as you, however, I’m sadly readying myself for the reality that I may not be able to get the cars I want with a manual transmission anymore and if that’s the case then I’m getting a mid-engine V8 (Vette) rather than just another FR.

Holy shit, no. You probably think the MKI MR2 was the best looking MR2, as well.

I never claimed to be talking about median worth by retirement age. You were the one who moved the goal posts. I keep trying to tell you I’m talking about the middle class and you keep trying to ignore that and include the entire population.

Again, you’re not talking about middle class senior citizens. Remember, the middle class is shrinking.

The middle class is shrinking, so we’re not talking about average net worth of all Americans - we’re just talking about middle class. And we’re not talking about all of the middle class currently, just the amount they have when they die.

Stop that immediately.

Shrooms? I didn’t like it as much as I had hoped when I watched it sober.

They had to find a way to make the cheating not as bad as it initially seemed.

“suddenly found out” implies you don’t already know of this aunt’s existence.

How is reasonable taste in music (sorry, 80s pop DOES suck) even remotely related to choose your own adventure books?
