Shocker: sometimes you can be scared of how someone will react to a secret, but once they find out they surprise you with their acceptance and support, it makes you closer, and you're freed from living every day lying to people you care about. I'd never undo coming out even though I was scared about it for years.
And in the brief couple of seconds I saw (I’ll wait for it at decent quality) they hadn’t even turned the phone they were recording from into landscape, so it’s just a little postage stamp in the middle of a screen full of black...
It’s like a game of telephone. Do it enough times and it transforms into:
“appears to be recorded off a phone with an enormous watermark—of what seems to be someone’s name—pasted over it” and “it looks to be unfinished and sent via an Instagram DM.”
Torch, it’s like you are getting what I’ve been saying around here for awhile. People are trying to develop tech to make us less engaged in what has been known as everyday life, only to replace it with something that can be monetized and engaged in their eco-system instead, regardless of its actual true value. It…
I don’t think a system that simultaneously disengages you from driving while expecting you to pay attention as if you were has any value.
Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.
Debra Winger might consider hosting Jeopardy! as long as Madonna is not around to turn it into an ‘Elvis Gameshow’.
Mazda has got your back for a loaded, manual, NA, FWD 3 hatch....only.
Him and Stephen Fry on QI was just gold:
Someone’s gotta say it, these cars are better with the manual.
He was unbelievably good at comedy. A lot of 8 out of 10 felt pre-scripted like any panel show - but then he’d think of some new joke on the spot and just break everyone.
Fuck this shit. Cats Does Countdown was one of our pandemic binge-watching mainstays and Lock’s curmudgeonliness and general...weirdness was such a huge part of the show. I noticed his voice sounded a little different in his most recent episodes but I had no idea he was sick. RIP.
Gonna miss him as hell on Cats Does Countdown. My two favorite jokes/bants of his from that show:
Toyota wins because they fixed things that needed fixing without ruining a single thing everybody has loved about the car for 8yrs - at the “cost” of 50-ish pounds and a few extra bucks over the last one.
First off, we should all be commending both Toyota and Nissan for still offering manual, fairly simple, RWD sports cars in an age where everything is going electric and computer-based.
