Life is meaningless, unless *I* give it meaning,

He, like other allegedly predatory yoga teachers, posed as a giver and students were quickly willing to give him outsize power over their lives.

Is this a generational thing? As a cranky, former latch-key child of a non-helicopter mother, I find it puzzling that some “adults” make their parent’s relationships all about THEM. 

Nikki Haley in a gesture of bipartisan unity.

Oh, let us not forget this:

As long as it’s relatively popular, companies like Year One’ll cover your needs for an old car.

As for newer cars, most of those brainboxes were used across multiple vehicles and are easy to source, generally with a choice of used, re-manufactured or at least NOS if not churned out last week. They’re fairly robust,…

If 1 in 4 cars are old enough to drive themselves then why aren’t there more autonomous cars?

There’s a golden age of cars to buy, so long as parts are still available.

That being from about 1986 to around 2003. Anything before and it’s likely that there’s a shitton of hard to replace shit like vacuum tubes and tiny stamped metal bits. Any later and it’s likely there a shitton of hard to replace shit like…

BTW, Hilda Solis is best remembered as a Congresswoman from LA and Obama’s first Labor Secretary, first Latina in a presidential cabinet.

They can see and feel their cop societal privilege slipping away by the day, and like angry children they are lashing out. Most Americans are tired of their shit. Sucks it took four years of an absolutely ruinous president to get a good chunk of white people to stop gaslighting black people about the police brutality…

It’s been a steady climb since the clintons took office. At least from the sexist side, the focus being that a first lady needed to be lady-like and do things with no weight or significance. Then more and more things started to compound. 

What’s happening is that people who are used to getting their way are finally getting called out on their BS and handling it like a toddler who’s just been told they can’t have ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I’m sorry if this sounds ignorant, but the sexism, racism, the various phobias, they’re escalating, aren’t they?

The right wing has been radicalized. 

No, this lack of decency has been here a long, long time before the Liar-in-Chief got elected. It’s just no longer avoidable to see all these people being evil in public. 

He has, “hates uppity women” written all over him. I see he supports stripping children from parents, putting the children in cages, and losing them. Such a moral crusader. Racist, grandstander, ladder climber. Totally on board with leeching on Cheetos ass. I wonder what his religion is? He sure as hell doesn’t follow…

“Den Hollander “was found dead of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound hours later” in Rockland, New York.”

Bail out? I thought the free market was supposed to decide these things Right? Right??? Right!?!??!

While Tom is technically correct I think he misses the real issue here.  Americans in general are spending more than they can afford on cars they don’t need.  In 2019 the average cost of a car was $34,000, that is up 2% from the year before and has been increasing at a rate greater than inflation for over 20 years. …
