Here in the bay area there’s an epidemic of people deciding they need to turn right as they’re passing the intersection and on the left of a multi-lane road. Do they realize they blew it and go around the block? They do not. They simply make a hard right, getting perpindicular to traffic, and start fording that…

Thisis he second video of a driving altercation I’ve seen here in the last few weeks that involved someone pulling a door handle off. Now, admittedly I’ve never tried, but I would have thought that car door handles were prettly securly attached to the sheet metal? Is there some kind of gorilla adrenalin strength…

Mystery Box is fine but it requires discipline. You can be open ended and full of possibility without succumbing to “anything can happen.” If literally anything can happen then it doesn’t matter what happens, because there is no narrative logic, just one damn thing after another.

The problem being the incredible paucity of gifs compared to words. If it’s a new language it’s a profoundly impoverished one, which means it’s less about communicating clearly and more about channeling the vast range of possible emotive and intellectual untterances into a handful of stock responses. In other words,…

2001 Jetta Wagon 1.8T MT, sports package. Something of a unicorn, I loved it until it began to implode, arounmd 60k miles. I hate that VW makes such appealing cars with such shitty exectution. I gaze longingly towards a GTI, but I have VW PTSD.

“Officer, in medical parlance women are known as “fuck toys.” If they’re not routinely used for the sexual gratification of men, they will grow ill and waste away. Simple medical fact”

I would be happy to buy an EV, but I live in an apartment and would have no way to charge it without hunting down a charging station and hanging out for a while. So’ll wait to that part gets better. Right? It’s not because I’m a bad person or resistant to change or I’m lying about my circumstance or I’m just…

You can kind of piece together the topography of that part of the town from the overhead scan shot and some of the angles on the train, and it appears as if just beyond the train tracks and running for their length there’s a steep, heavily overgrown mountain or cliff. It would make sense that Bad Janet wouldn’t bother…

It’s concise and deeply stupid. What are you going to do when all the boomers are dead and the world still sucks and you’re still a fucking idiot? Blame boomers for all of your failings for the rest of your life, I imagine, but that’s called being pathetic. Which presumably will also be the fault of boomers. I’m…

Eat shit.

I didn’t much like Bama’s chances the way they were playing towards the end of the season, but seeing them rested and healthy I think they can take another championship. Worrisome injury in the final minutes, however.

I’m no Pats fan but this is stupid. You’ve declared that if the guy responds he’s “triggered” and if he doesn’t he’s slinking off defeated. If you tried that IRL you’d get punched in the fucking face, and deservedly so.

Right, excellent Googling, but that’s not what you said in your original comment. Race is a protected class, whether the race in question is black or white; sex is a protected class whether the sex is female or female; orientation is a protected class whether the orientation is gay or straight.

Are there? Seems to me there are way more people endlessly belittling these presumed “sheep” than there are actual single minded Apple zealots.

No more so than “the Warriors are a bunch of entitled dicks and Durant is a bitch”, of which there’s a pretty steady diet hereabouts.

What makes me bat-shit insane is when a business deliberately picks music with a thick, busy arrangement, lots of bass and wailing saxes. It’s a guarantee that the holdee will actually be listening to what sounds like somebody with tuberculosis gargling rocks while slaughtering seals.

Might be time to revisit the unfrozen pumpkin pie. I got one last year and it was as you said: resonably tasty filling with a fairly bland crust. I got one last week and it was inedible, in exactly the same way as you describe the pecan pie: ludicrously sweet and kind of glutinous. It tasted like corn syrup pie…

Yeah, and seeing a woman get punched in the face gets you hard. We got it man.

Seatbelts are signifiers of crazy driving to come. There’s always this very purposeful pull and click, like the passengers are preparing for liftoff. If people buckle up the driver is planning to tear ass down narrow allies while colorful street vendors leap out of the way.
