I ended up with a 1987 Elite scooter and a broken laptop screen.

I can kind of see where these “jump from event to event” people are coming from, though. My husband and I are childfree. I just went through a depressive episode because we literally have no events or milestones to look forward to now - no baby showers, no first birthday parties, no first day of school, no…

Would like a word with you

Several years ago, my wife was shopping for a new car. She put together a spreadsheet (she loves spreadsheets) before we went to the dealers.

People can enjoy things all they want, right up until it’s actively harmful to everyone around them. Driving giant gas guzzling SUVs because it makes you feel like a bigger person is actively harmful.

I don’t remember ANYONE besides very young children liking Phantom Menace after seeing it, which the exception of the climactic lightsaber battle (even that was tainted by constant cuts to “let’s try spinning! woo hoo!” Anakin scenes).

I remember a handful of apologists trying really hard to rationalize how it wasn’t…

My all-time favorite cars, of any kind, are the late 60's F1 cars. They look like someone put a V8 in the back of a Kayak.

Not for nothing, but Tony Hawk did his on a standard half pipe. Super impressive though! 

Don’t forget WWE!
