I always appreciate cars that actually look interesting. This one looks a little ugly, but it’s kind of cute in its own ugly way, and because of that it looks like an actual human designed it.

Yeah this line of thinking which seems to be the only line of thinking in upper management literally everywhere.

I kinda think this article misses the point of Kirsten’s. You say that you intentionally go out of your way to do things to avoid “hurting” cars. If everyone did that, I don’t think we’d have a problem with physical contact. Actually, if everyone approached one another out of a place of respect then literally all of…

I’m writing a children’s picture book about a car’s life, and have been struggling finding the look of my main character (the car)... I think I just found it :)

So... I recently went on a vacation into the boonies with the expectation of sleeping in the car. (3-row we rented for the occasion). I have never in my life ever been claustrophobic, but something about that car at night just activated some part of my brain that went into panic mode.

Seriously nothing fucking infuriates me more as a new driver than someone who THINKS they know better because they never actually had do to a proper driving test, who then gets upset at me for... actually doing what I’m supposed to do.

The thing is, it’s been done before. It wasn’t about clicks and chasing morbid fascination but doing what was right. When that big shooting happened in Norway, the press intentionally barely wrote about the shooter, and instead focused all of their attention on everyone else. And the shooter tried very, VERY hard to…

Yeah, it drives me fucking nuts that every time there’s a shooting there’s a bajillion articles on the shooter and none of the people whose lives he ended. Please, they’re people whose lives were ended tragically, some of them were heroes to the end, what more can you want in a story you’re writing? I wish we could at…

I’m a children’s librarian at a local library. Maintaining our public toy collection falls under my responsibilities, though I don’t get much of a say in buying them, and the vast majority of the toys we have fall under the minimalist umbrella. Basically, the debate when it comes to children’s toys is always…

I know what I want for my birthday now....

The thing is if this was some kind of an actual program that went from the top that used proper fund-allocation and hearings and was serving a greater purpose, sure, ok.

My smart came with a factory mount for the phone, since it doesn’t have an “infotainment” system. You clip your phone in and use it via bluetooth for the things you’d use an infotainment system (typically we use it for music and navigation). It’s godsend for a cheap, young-people car and I don’t understand why more…

Uh, let’s be real here. I’m sure women care about looks and appearances just as much as men - it’s just that when they dare to express that, they get derided, their interests called frivolous and unimportant and their opinions get belittled to the point that no one actually takes them seriously. You see how the Mini…

As someone who just recently bought my own car after two decades of essentially living Lyft’s experiment (with no cash incentive, but we do have comparatively nice public transit here), the car is worth every extra penny I’m spending on it. Relying on someone else for your transportation is incredibly limiting and…

Uh, I’m a writer (in the process of publishing my own science fiction book about a young WOC looking to find the origins of her culture) and a book illustrator and I so consider myself fairly artistic. That movie was... not good. It’s not significantly worse than any of the other blockbuster schlock that comes out of…

I think that was a weird sentence, sorry if it wasn’t clear. The harasser got a photo of the daughter and sent it to her father. It’s not HIS daughter he sent photos of. That would be calling the police kind of bad, no wavering about that.

I am stepping away from administering for that league. I might take the evidence with me before I get booted from the private admin discussions for deserting, but right now between everything else in my life, I only have energy for one more thing, which I’ve decided will be creating a fun space for new players to…

I don’t think it is? I have never seen the “evidence” but from what I know the photo of her was totally not sexualized. It’s like something you’d get off of facebook or instagram (probably exactly where he found it). Who even knows if it was semen or old mayonnaise, which he’d undoubtedly claim it was (also the…

I was a higher-level administrator in an esports league. A few months ago, we were brought forth the allegations that several (male, obviously) members of that league were sexually harassing female participants. Me and a few other admins ended up on the panel investigating the accusations, three of which was levied…

This is Dumpling. Saturday was Dumpling’s 2nd birthday, so he got a wax cake that was promptly smeared all over his outside. He’s been pretty happy since then (I think he looks happy, anyways). (Also I know his house looks a little bit post-apocalyptic, but that’s the best I got around here.)
