I had to dig out my login key to star this.

This is exactly it: “They will think about whether some petty shit is worth the possibility of getting in a fight with someone, and will often just choose to let it go - and guess what? Society doesn’t crumble because someone got away with dicking around on a fucking…

Follow up! My gal and I ran into a similar situation during primaries, where we moved, updated everything, we’re told we were good to go and where to go, only to be told that we were suppose to vote somewhere else once we finally got to the front of the line. It was after the polls closed (2hr wait), so we were…

I spit my drink out when I read your comment.

A Story:

Before a career change, I used to work as an underwriter for a credit union. I was searching for a truck to add to my stable and found one at a dealership that was near my home. Big dealership in a large city. Now, I’m going to repeat this part, I was a loan…

I don’t listen to this type of music, but one evening, on a trip to Tucson from San Antonio, I was listening to a weird overnight radio station that played this song. I immediately fell in love.

I’m sorry.

We’ll do better. We have to.

Another Root comment of, “but Hispanics are just as bad.”

Give me a fucking break. As another group colonized by Western Europeans, Hispanics have their own issues that obviously need addressing, but pump the brakes on this, “just as bad/worse” bullshit.

I’m Puerto Rican (cue the “Oh, they’re soooo racist” comments),…

I spent the weekend looking for another Pup.

Thanks for sharing!

I bought a ‘93 Isuzu Pickup (Pup) 4WD as a toy, kinda-sorta commuter about 12-15 years ago. I had it for about five years, five wonderful years of off-roading, both near and far. I would take off on solo trips around the surrounding states (I’m in San Antonio, TX) to do some ‘wheeling, hiking, and camping, usually…

Everything.

Not in some generic, “I listen to everything,” sorta way, but in a “there are thousands of albums I want to hear again, or genres I want to dive into,” way.

This week I’m focusing on 1966. “Pet Sounds,” “Revolver,” “Freak Out!,” “Blonde on Blonde,” “Aftermath,” and “Fresh Cream.”

Last week was sludge/stoner…

It’s incredible how much people struggle with reading nowadays. His own words:

“I had hoped and prayed that the NFL would outlaw these disgraceful protests and wanted to give the commissioner and the owners a fair opportunity to do so,” Wells said.

“Adam” is also a man seeking to know God at the end of his life, etc., etc.

The movie has quite a few different layers, but God/Earth/Shitty-Us is the overall theme.

Any way, I’m just replying to tell you to watch your fucking mouth when you’re talking about The Fountain. You’ve been warned. :D 

Great write-up, I really enjoyed it. As a Puerto Rican boxing fanatic, I’m pulling for Canelo, but enjoy watching both fighters, and would be happy if either of them won.

Outside of the ridiculous scorecards from the Cotto fight, I don’t understand the “fraud” charges my Mexicano brothers lob at him. I live in San…

I’ve been hitting up a bunch of “What Car You Should Buy” posts with my recommendation for an MkV GTI. I’m replying here because as a former Miata owner (‘93 Black & Tan), when I started my search for a fun commuter (to give my XJ a rest), I started looking at Miatas first. Well, Miatas and EP3 Civic Si’s. My budget…

Please, god of the heavens and Earth, please let McGregor transition to boxing.

Please let him, and his MMA fandom, see, for once and for all, that if MMA guys were actually any good at boxing, they would already be boxers.

I put my money on Canelo, I put my money on the aging Cotto, I put my money on Crawford, I put my…

I nearly bought one of these when I was looking for a fun commuter to give my XJ a rest. It was a lot of fun and probably would have made me very happy.

Then I test drove an ‘06 VW GTI, and bought that. Buy an MkV GTI, dude. I was working with the same budget.

Wanna be a “grown-up?”

Start with wearing shoes.

I was born in 1981. I had computers in class from 1st grade through 12th. We we’re learning basic code before middle school. I went to public schools in California (both Southern and Northern), central Indiana, and Texas. I was a military brat, but every school I attended was public.

Sorry your school system sucked.

My…

I bought a used GTI that was originally sold in California, a two-plate state, and it is completely smooth up-front, too.

The previous owner had the front plate zip-tied to the lower, open mesh grill. I’m in Texas, also a two-plater, and I just have it in suction-cupped to my windshield on the passenger side, with a…

Yeah, that’s what made me stop. I didn’t know about the gripes beforehand, but based on looks alone, it’s gorgeous.

nvm, answered.
