Ah the headline game.... Over at Hagerty and Hemmings, you’ve got engineer journalists with 40 years under their belt laying out 2,000 words on auto engine design, but Jalopnik throws down the authoritative final word thanks to rando commenters and a deadline:

“I’m in my house minding my own business.”

Dude it’s a HOA. People are fucking crazy in HOAs. Old people move into HOAs for a reason. I am a home inspector. I don’t know ONE single HOA that somebody hasn’t rolled their eyes at.

About a year ago I was RAKED over the coals by suggesting a 300C Platinum is a great engineer’s sedan because it contains so many features and so much flexibility and capability (and reliability, sorry) at a shocking price.

This is that one friend with the balls to suggest going out on a weeknight, knowing you have a good job that you love, and a family to attend to the next day. Fuck this shit. I might pirate it out of spite. 

Alcohol gets such a fucking pass. Drunks are great in passing, but anyone that drinks regularly gets pretty fucking insufferable eventually, if they’re constantly focused on setting up situations where they can drink. 

Distribution.

Well, seriously think about what it would be like to spend every goddamn penny to crush that shit. Nobody cares about martyrs. Spouses leave. Families “don’t get” the obsession. You wind up fighting it alone.

you don’t like your free video?

In Minneapolis it’s the opposite. The cars enter on red... then a few more enter on red... and they dare you to do anything about it. Happens with MAGA trucks and city dwellers alike. 

Just wait. In a few years they’ll watch fucking Star Wars. You get the same stoner worldbuilding and dead ends, just a lot more of them. And more must-buy merch.

You bet I’m scared. Human interaction is a fucking minefield. I’m sure most people can navigate it just fine, but generally most of my interactions at this point are like “what can I say to impress you or please you, and make you go away happy and soon”.

Of all the reasons these Olympics are tanking, this is the one that media won’t cover. I’d love to see what percentage of lapsed watchers are in this camp. 

The movie was shit, not because “it was woke”. Because it was shit. There’s a college course of crap in this movie.

I could camp on top of a Harbor Freight trailer, and put together a pretty nice makeshift setup for $2000.

We’re packing for our RV trip right now. We’re not camping... we’re not RVing... We’re fucking MOVING judging by the amount of shit we’re bringing.

A comedy without jokes is just fucking depressing. Like the first 20 minutes of every Disney film (where the main character suffers a lot) but just endless. 

Right, but even retellings use different characters and different titles. Otherwise we’d have like 50 shows and movies titled “Othello” since 1955. 

Remember when Doogie almost got to fuck his babysitter?

Don’t use Twitter. It’s wayyyy too short form for human interaction. Use as little social media as possible. Go live. See/do/be.
