I think there is more than meets the eye here.

It’s 2022, leave it. It actually has character (gasp!), unlike the awful soulless “gray cabinet/gray floor, white wall, with copy-paste mid-modern mass market instagram aesthetic furniture and fixtures” trash that flippers and tract home builders crank out these days.

Ah yes the deep lasting cultural and social impact of Let’s Build a Zoo on Switch. Cmon.

That’s the publishers problem, not mine. This is entertainment media we are talking about, not food or shelter. The world would be just fine without it at all.

It’s a thread. I didnt want to dump an insanely long picture in a G/O comment box, and thought their Twitter integration might actually work. Apparently that was stupid of me!

Kinja being its normal self, i guess. Lets see if it embeds this time:

The dude that wrote that article has been writing completely incorrect dogshit takes about high speed rail for the LA Times for a decade+. He has literally spent his life trying to discourage people from supporting rail, and has danced every possible dance he can think of to try to support his bad arguments. He isn’t…

That’s not the point. The point is that drivers make the roads dangerous, both for other drivers and all other road users, not the pedestrians.

That protection didn’t stop 24,333 people from dying in 2020 alone.

The real reason, as has been covered hundreds of times is: “Because you’ll pay it.”

Every angle that Cowboy Cosplay posers believe in their broken little hearts that people will picture when they roll buy in these $80k+ luxury brodozers, specifically built for doughy suburban “never, never, never” losers. Vehicles that endanger their passengers, drivers, neighbors, wallets, and our collective…

Yes. It was. Glad you agree!

The series used to be at least tangentially interested in racing and competition, and not solely on dividing stacks of cash and making things as unfun, stodgy, and exclusionary as humanly possible. This lead to fun upstart teams with wild, often bad plans. 1989 had 21 teams (really 20, as 1 never showed up) and 30…

Gawker (ahem, G/O) used to at least have the chutzpah to mention the option that literally millions of Americans will use: piracy. Its easy, its free, wowee!

Interior looks like something from a company that only makes faux macho trucks. Oh... wait.

Also a spike in listening to good Irish music.

Helio Castroneves has 31 IndyCar/CART wins, including 4 Indy 500s, 84 podiums, 47 poles, 13 top 5 IndyCar championship finishes... but hes never won an openwheel car championship. Not in junior series, not in the big cars.

Sorry about your agoraphobia “darthspartan117"?

I’m not talking about fiber to the home, im talking about the nationwide fiber network that makes your cellphone and internet work (specifically in the midhaul and backhaul). The telcoms laid 43 million route miles of fiber by 2007. 13 years earlier, there were a few thousand miles.

I fully agree with you that its short sighted, and actively makes the product on track worse.
