Your Goddam right. Cars are shit unless your are having fun in them (sex or driving fast). An excellent public transport system is something really important in a good city. Being able to go out and get drunk or be able to get efficiently around a large city requires great public transport.

OH HAHA BECAUSE NAZIS HOW CLEVER.

I've followed this story in a few sources, including from the city of Hamburg itself, and I don't think that they're aiming to actually outlaw cars in the city limits.

What do you mean "our society"? Would bikes be acceptable personal transportation to you? Why do you assume that public transit, in Germany, is a bigger time sink than sitting in congested traffic? Why do you assume that public transit in Hamburg will be as slow, inconvenient, and useless as it is in the United States

Before you comment, please think about Hamburg.
No one wants to drive there. Public transit is great and the city predates the car by centuries.

With great difficulty. The Second Avenue Subway is the first new line under Manhattan since the '30s, originally proposed in 1929 and only fully committed to in 2007, with occasional fits and starts in between.


It's funny cause the squirrel is dead.

Holy shit, io9, pay up now!

Oh this is fun! What would other gawker sites waste $10,000 on for things we already know?

I found an unretouched picture of the dog, please send $100 to me at Gawker.

Rather than trashing Gloria for shaming men who use sex toys, I'd like to explore the impulse behind this kind of shaming. Is this about buying into some sexist stereotype that links a man's honor with his ability to find a "real" sex partner, rather than an artificial one? Is this a negative reaction to the

I dont get where Gloria is coming from at all. I mean, sure, a woman using a plastic dildo in her nethers is weird and depraved, but I guess penis-sniffing women obsessed with cock have to find an outlet if they arent able to find a man to complete them, right?

Why are we empowered when we buy a vibrator, but a man who buys a fleshlight is a 'lonely fuck'?

"Ever seen a blog post about a weird sex toy designed to simulate the feeling of a vagina and thought, what kind of a lonely fuck would use one of those?"
I mean, I get where you're coming from, but that sentence makes me feel super uncomfortable (for entirely selfish reasons) to be honest. The selfish reason is that

This remains the best message I have ever received, ever. Yes, it got the guy blocked, but it has provided years of entertainment watching people read it and their reactions.

I don't think it makes you sound like an asshole. Part of male privilege is the semi-conscious belief that men are the arbiters of reality. Rationally, many men know that women have different experiences than they do but just as many believe, deep down, that they'd handle those experiences better. It wouldn't bother
