Totally agree on all points. I want Bioshock to be great in all the right ways, and I hope it is. Infinite let me down.

Sales manager of a Toyota dealership here. There’s a simpler explanation for all this. By and large it’s difficult to get women interested in a car sales position, and/or hard to keep them interested. And that’s not an insensitive generalization, it’s a problem I constantly deal with.

There is no argument you fucking moron. You just think there is because you’ve received too many gold stars for participation. 

It’s true that cash is not king, but it won’t be anything near 5 to 10% on any car that can be sold at anywhere close to a 2% rate these days. Actually, right now a 4% effective rate is what we’re seeing on brand new cars without a finance incentive. Good negotiating tactic for another couple hundred bucks though. The…

It’s still potentially far more profitable and less risky to go mobile only. The idea of having to produce and sell an entirely separate console just to provide a platform for your games makes no sense financially, if you have an alternative. Granted, Nintendo is uniquely situated in making some profit on their…

Uh, in general? No. But in this case, absolutely. I’m really not sure what you could possible think word association has to do with the makeup of someone’s DNA. There’s no ambiguity to the word “female” in a clinical sense. If you personally also associate that word with “woman”, good for you, but it doesn’t have any…

But you stand to make so, so, so much more money with so much less risk by moving to full-on pay as you go mobile. They should have no reason to want to even bother with full on, larger budget console titles. Sure they’re $40, but you only get to sell one (or technically two in this case) every few years, and only to…

XX and XY chromosomes. She has XY. Not a female when we establish records based on biological sex, which by their very definition are not subject to what someone personally feels. Word association has shit to do with it.

I always have two thoughts when it comes to fully autonomous..or really, two main concerns,

With those wheels and the big wing, looks to be a GSX

Some of my best memories as a kid. It would take a lot of effort not to at least crack a smile, it’s just such a crazy show. My dad used to take me at least once a year.

Now, most of that is certainly true. I just typically will treat those kinds of leads not as a price quote, but as an attempt to set an appointment. Especially so if I know I’m their most local dealer. Giving them a quote in my experience is tant amount to just tossing the lead entirely. If I can’t even get them to…

You’re wrong on virtually all accounts. It makes 0 sense to send a price quote to a customer who will dealer shop you. You’re guaranteed to make a mini deal, which is never even close to $500 (more like 75-150 after tax), and that is IF you even end up being the lowest bidder. On top of that, customers who do this are…

I have anxiety, depression, and ocd issues...and this seems like a reach to get offended over nothing. I don’t identify with any of the traits given to these sims, nor do I consider myself insane despite having (treatable) mental illnesses. So, I do see it as an outrageous caricature along the lines of other sims…

I’m a sales manager for a Toyota dealership. We’re sticking with the cowboy hat for now. ;)

Old badge? That’s the same badge you’ll find on every new Toyota.

I have to disagree with the premise that the best part about adolescence is that it ends. There are lots of great things in my life as an adult, but nothing and no time will ever be quite like the teenage years again. I thought it was fucking great. So many exciting firsts to look forward to, not enough experience to…

Car salesman here. Just something that caught my eye...”what would you like to pay?” from a salesperson is virtually always misunderstood. People are typically so jaded on the idea of a car dealership that they immediately take this to mean we’re playing coy and that it’s a trick. Couldn’t be more off the mark. They…

The shape of the chair really doesn’t have any roots in gaming chairs or culture, it’s just a design that’s been co-opted from the auto racing community and put onto a wheeled stand. I would guess this is mostly because little extra r & d work needs to be done on the shape, and also that it looks “cool”. I suppose to…

It does matter at least a little bit when you’re establishing some sort of historical record in saying she’s the first female to do so and so. She isn’t. Female isn’t a gender. You could say she’s the first girl, or first transgender woman, but not first female. I would imagine this is why the op brought this up, and…
