Yes I read his whole post before sharing my thoughts; please read my reply to this post, it is the most heartfelt thing I’ve ever shared on kinja and I mean it with all my heart!

I’m white-skinned, blue-eyed, male, cisgendered, raised middle class (borderline UMC depending on how you look at it) and I’ve never known poverty or hunger. By being gay, but naturally not tipping most people off with any inherent mannerisms, I know white (straight) privilege most of the time by having it, but also

I think this is probably a responsible decision, though I would’ve enjoyed watching the 2020 series in real life, I still look forward to their virtual series!

A walkout is a start, but I’m frankly disappointed in so many who choose to still work there. I quit Facebook 6 years ago because I was convinced it was anything but a force for good in our world, and that’s only become clearer ever since. How many people in this world really have values, if a paycheck makes you give

Before VW defined “W” as being two banks of VR motors, it was associated with engines made up of three inline banks. The disastrous Life F1 project used a W12 in this 3-bank style (3 inline-4s at the crank); a W18 would be 3 inline-6s joined at one crank.

The old one looks better, new one is too fussy. Hmm that sounds just like websites before and after articles were needlessly broken up into slideshows!

“Midphase Animorph” is the golden underappreciated reference of my generation, bless you sir!

I don’t generally like SUVs, and I only care for trucks if their capacities are being utilized, but give me some weird truck/SUV hybrid monstrosity and I am SOLD!

I’m not denying age discrimination exists, and neither does “OK Boomer” as a concept, as far as I see it. On one level it can be a gentle mock of older people being clueless about tech or pop culture trends, which I think is mostly harmless, and isn’t what the rest of this post is about. I’ve experienced age

Halp! Mein Mërcëdës has never-ending üntersteer, but mein Pörschë has scäry snäp übersteer! I would drive mein Äüdï vith da quattrö but I crashed it into a majestik møøse in Sweden...

I will always and forever take that as a compliment. The mere implication that social justice is NOT worth fighting for is idiotic and toxic. People who think SJW is an insult should wear pins saying “I AM PART OF WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD”

When it comes to the “boomer frame of mind”, calling it out and attacking it head-on has merit, as the boomer frame of mind causes emotional, environmental, and societal destruction to continue, encourages the wasting of human potential, and then hides under the cloak of persecution.

That’s neat, but if they didn’t pop up and charging points were just scattered around like parking meters, that’d be good too.

I’m all for a production EV-based championship, but the Jaguar I-Pace E-Trophy was legit one of the ABSOLUTE WORST series I have EVER seen. SO boring, so impossible to pass, cars mismatched the tracks so much. The cars themselves are kinda cool (if heavy)! They just put them on FE tracks which was...dumb. And then

Nissan Titan is why I came down here...I didn’t think of Europa though? Fail ><

It’s propaganda that we are called “consumers”. We are the consumed.

I’ve been saying for a couple years, Vettel has the chops to transition into a management role (at Ferrari would be good since he knows them and they need the help) and really help their organization and track operations. It is a little early for him to retire from driving, but it feels like he would only be trimming

I had a high school friend whose first car was a Plymouth Valiant. His was a scamp, I think it was a 1971, and it had the small slant-6, which should’ve been the 198 by then? We’re talking late 90s so this was a $500 beater first car, so the fuel gauge didn’t work (he just topped it up constantly), the transmission

The supposedly horrible “Carter” stagflation era wasn’t that much worse than where we’re at now, but it was way, way less unequal and the working classes had a much fairer shake. My take on stagflation is it was a natural response to an economy built on cheap oil, after oil prices rose, and printing plenty of money

I don’t mean plastic body cladding or add-on flares, I mean the actual bodywork.
