The reason these people are so honest about their discrimination is that they really feel justified in it. They are in controlled spaces with like-minded people who remind them that exclusion is good. In a prior decade, they’d be saying: “No hard feelings, though! It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s your color.” A…

I’ve begun to notice that a lot of people railing against this ruling seem to have a fucked up mental picture of a “gay wedding cake” being covered in Gay Pride flags and dicks/vaginas and stuff.
I get that there needed to be some kind of punishment, but $135000? That’s just ridiculous and only adds fuel to the bigots who are using them as icons. And who gets all that money?
That might be a bit too simplistic, but the whole ‘not invented here’ philosophy is a plague that needs to die already. Not just in the US, although the US is one of the main offenders. Furthermore, I think it’s safe to say the US can prevent far more fatalities by enforcing yearly safety inspections (tires, brakes,…
This goes back to my idea that any vehicle that is legal in a country with a lower number of fatalities per 100k miles should be legal in the US.
Why aren’t US and EU crash testing similar? Seriously though. I understand we all like to go fast and keep little jimmy and sarah in the back seat safe, but it would save so much more time and money for a global automotive platform if they could mass produce the same vehicle for some of the larger markets.
Top Gun is, without a doubt, the most unintentionally (?) homoerotic movie ever made. It’s hilarious to watch it today. While I’m very happy for my gay friends this week (congrats!) I can skip the redux.
Where do you see this? All I ever see on three-lane roads is a solid row of trucks in the right lane, then a solid row of trucks in the middle lane, “passing” them at 0.5 mph faster. Then, all the cars are trying to cram into the left lane to get around them all.
This is a stupidly inefficient arrangement. Traffic moves more smoothly when the inside lane is used for merging traffic, middle for through, and outside for passing. Forcing everyone over to the right in any remotely high traffic area just results in massive chain reaction slow downs at interchanges.
As a St Louis area resident, let me share a nickel’s worth of advice with the UK authorities about how using fines as a profit center turns out in the end.
Why are they using orange F35s as test sleds?
Isn’t America the American version of this?
It must be mirror-universe evil Richard.
It’s 106 miles to Chicago, you’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, a Stanley Cup, it’s dark, and you’re wearing sunglasses.
Or, to command that much would this Italia actually need to be more Italian than the automotive equivalent of an Olive Garden entrée?
See, their tailfins would have been hitting each other if the planes were really that close.
An apology letter from Obama would’ve been sent to Putin.
I can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve heard this, from men and women, young and old: “I’m not into cars, but I love Top Gear.” If it didn’t serve as a gateway drug for cars, it at least helped the normals understand us enthusiasts a little bit.
