She got 7 tickets just for the city sticker, that’s $1,400 in fines.

Each person has their own story of how they got stuck where they are, and not being able to afford a road-worthy car is probably a symptom not a problem. Maybe for her it wasn’t an option to not have a car. Maybe she had to drive to get to work, and it was either work and eat and rack up fines, or don’t work and don’t…

The car chase in this movie was great, one of the many highlights of the film i thought. The hills added something for me to the chase. And thankfully, no over the top closeups of the badge or Lexus logo (talking to you Michael Bay, you pillock)

Never forget, never buy Nissan.

That lead GIF is now the featured exhibit at the Blue Balls Hall of Fame.

“In my mind, Tesla’s core competency is their technology. And that 17-inch touchscreen is the embodiment of Tesla’s technological prowess.“

Watch what you say. I made the same comment after The Force Awakens first trailer. I was fighting casual Star Wars fans for weeks.

Cosplay in 2017 - Zero Chill.

I had a boss once (Fortune 50 company) who came back from Brazil raving about the friendly, warm bathroom attendants she encountered, and how lovely the restaurant bathrooms were. When I pointed out it seemed like a terrible job (standing around, smelling piss all day and handing out towels to the wealthy) she said,…

Trying to reconcile these two statements, made back to back in the video.

It was well documented that the Heer (German Army) despised the SS and much of the Nazi Party.

Waiter - only if it's good and service was excellent, usually something like 2-5%

Bartender - only when service has been perfect all night, but pretty much never.
Barista…
