I’m 6' and I don’t have any problem with her being fired. I can’t pretend to comprehend the cultural implications of the slang she used, but you can say “I prefer tall men” without saying “Short men aren’t humans and should have surgery to fix their defect”. Replace tall/short with any other immutable identifier about…

Really??? Your response is to attack the readers after losing two beloved writers, both of which had far more to do with the success of this site than you have? If you actually give a damn, read the comments. Why is it that so many people specifically mention how good Mercedes is in their comment? What is it about her…

Same, Tracy and Torch were the only thing keeping this site in my daily rotation, so Jalop will be getting subbed out for whatever their next project is

Unfortunately, that would be playing into protesters’ hands.

Totally worth it. 1 less Tailgaters on the road

Just the ability to say “hey, we need X,” have it the next day, and not have to pay $19.95 for shipping is valuable and that happens a couple times a month around here.

Not sure there’s enough room in there because it’s filled with all your garbage takes. #gottem

I don’t think you quite grasp why the 2008 recession happened. The economy is cyclical, but that particular crash happened because of very poor practices and nobody watching. Not to say some sectors of our government aren’t built on a house of cards, but to think that a crash of that magnitude can happen every 10-15…

I’ve had the “Should I wait” conversation with several friends. The thing I keep coming back too is that if you look at the average house prices in my state, they have gone down by more than 2% *ONCE* since the great depression. In 2007/2008.
That is very much in living memory so people are obsessed with it, but with…

I daily one of the smallest cars on the market, I don’t feel unsafe.

I don’t understand the back lash. She’s a person of color thus the award. She’s from NYC thus the accent and attitude. Ya’ll never watched Nora from Queens or her YouTube videos? I think the people complaining want her to sound “Asian”?

Android tablets suuuuuuck. That is the one area in our home where iOS still rules the roost.

Yeah, to me there’s a very large difference between hypermiling where you are going slower than the average speed of the traffic around you (40 in a 70), and hypermiling in bumper-to-bumper traffic. When I used to commute every day, on my way home it was common to have traffic come to a stop (or nearly a stop), then…

I dunno, the “leaving some space between traffic” on the 405 doesn’t seem that egregious; it’s far better than the folks who will floor it at the first sign of a space and then slam on the brakes when the inevitable stop comes. In fact, I generally try to drive with some “buffer” in stop and go, leaving a bit of space…

Wow. Don’t let your worship of Max get in the way of objectivity or understanding of the sport.

It was controversial, period. I was rooting for both Lewis and Max this season because it was such a great duel and made it super entertaining to watch. The drivers, the fans and the sport didn’t deserve for it to end like that, regardless of who won in the end.

Who the hell cares?

“Is it too early to call Elon Musk’s Cybertruck vaporware?”

We’ll blow ~$40k+ on a car that we’ll spend an hour a day in, then sell it for a huge loss 4-5 years later. At the same time we’ll scoff at $2500(?!) for a mattress we’ll spend ~8 hours a day in every day for the next 10 years.

Maybe it can both be an anti-racist allegory and also problematically anti-Semitic? Maybe an author can both support “good” things and still have myriad conscious and unconscious biases? Maybe people aren’t always (or, indeed, rarely are) 100% intellectually and morally consistent?
