100% this. The vast majority of cruising sailboat owners are people who have worked their asses off in regular jobs, for many years, scrimping and saving and being as self-reliant as possible in order to fulfill a lifelong dream.

The glib attitude in this piece doesn’t come off well. Someone is bound to die soon from these attacks.

and don’t forget the hot dogs!!!

In what way, specifically, does Costco suck? People like shopping there, people like working there. Their financials are solid...

Bro why you hate $5 rotisserie chicken?

Turns out that having an unstable, thin-skinned psychopath as your very public spokesman isn’t good for your public image. Who knew?

That would be a problem that they figure out the solution to, not me.

That as my father would say, “would be a you problem” or them in this case. And similar to what I have been told a few times in my life, “you don’t need to go home, but you need to get the fuck out of here.”

That’d be Dunning Kruger, in a nutshell. The folks that know the least may often overestimate their knowledge.  The “sophomore curse” in motorcycling, where people get through their first year of riding, but have some kind of crash in their second is a real thing and it’s Dunning Kruger in full effect.

Sorry Australia. 

We don’t recognize your sovereign citizenship in this State/Country, guilty, next.

literally sitting here researching imposter syndrome for a presentation at work, and I am completely convinced there is a 100% inverse relationship between intelligence, and confidence in one’s intelligence.

Dunning-Kruger in full effect.

Weak fallacy, bro.

I kind of wish these “sovereign citizens” once they declared themselves that, got deported. “Oh, you don’t want to follow our rules due to some BS? Good luck out there, see how that goes elsewhere, because you aren’t allowed here anymore.”

The few sovereign citizens I have met share a common trait. The unearned confidence of an imbecile.

I wouldn’t use the word victim here - these people bear responsibility for their actions - but people can commit crimes, and still be products of their economic and social conditions. Here’s a cool trick: you can be angry at and empathize with a person or group of people at the exact same time.

Right, the guys starting fires and ramming cars are victims. Got it.

Spend $33K on a Mustang convertible and allocate the left-over $2K to sunscreen, sunglasses and hats.

Since you’re now in America, and especially in the CA bay area, doesn’t matter what car you get, just make sure you don’t leave anything worth any money in plain sight in the car or be prepared to get your windows smashed.
