I used my credit union, not the dealership.

Yes, this. I took out a loan for my last new car, at 1.49%, and it was a great decision. I’d originally intended to just pay cash, but as it turned out the cost of that loan was ridiculously low. Moreover, I’m glad I took it, because I wound up needing the cash for unexpected expenses. You could suggest I was dumb to…

The Japanese ones like those pictured there are so much better than the ones usually sold in the States.

Yep. Playing a female character in an MMO, I got the same thing. Creepy comments, random tells, minor harassment varying from the “you suck because you’re a girl” variety to the more objectifying sort, etc. And I’m sure that’s only a fraction of what actual women playing those games have to deal with.

All these corny puns are driving me crazy.

The way to understand it is to keep in mind that American immigration policy has been shot through with racism from its very inception. The only thing that’s changed any is who it’s racist against - not that there’s been much change in that.

Like it or not, there’s no feasible way to change the two party system. Doing so would require a massive reworking of the Constitution, and going down -that- road is extremely dangerous. If you don’t believe me, look how many right wing nutjobs are busy pushing for a Constitutional Convention to do just that (and are…

I would argue that Nathan Bedford Forrest was worse, but it’s the sort of competition where you have to be utterly terrible to even enter in the first place, so...

I wonder how much of it has to do with people being attracted to join because they’re racist a**holes in the first place, definitely - the whole bit about the notion of it being attractive to people of an anti-immigrant mindset to begin with . I do also wonder, though, how many weren’t to begin with, but take on a…

2014 is also the sweet spot, with the slight boost to 420hp stock, which is the perfect number of horsepower. :)

The fact that everyone is so used to the Dems caving on pretty much everything that it becomes the default assumption, and everyone immediately looks for that. They didn’t get everything they wanted - but they won a big concession for a short term extension. And no, I don’t expect we’ll actually get the vote, but look…

The f*cking “Lost Cause” propaganda machine in action, talking about how ‘gallant’ or ‘noble’ those hateful traitors were. They weren’t ‘defending their homes/states’, they were defending the ability of their states to OWN AND ABUSE OTHER HUMANS. They had a choice, too, and they chose wrong, hands down.

Heavens forbid we get an actual reckoning of the true brutality of the things those people did. The fact is that this very downplaying/ignoring the horrors of what Jackson and his ilk did actively contributes to the fact that racism and bigotry are still so pervasive a century and a half later. It is simply not…

Darth Kristen?

They won’t, for all the good it does. They’ll get paid once the shutdown ends, along with the military and the rest.

Nope, sorry. I’d even root for the f***ing Cowboys before I root for the Pats at this point. I’d have to violently purge my stomach afterwards, but...

The catch being that the Republicans still have a slim majority (51-49) in the Assembly, and a few seats in the Senate.

It’s the 80s, so... drugs?

“Do you wanna go to war, B’la-ke?”
