I hear you. I absolutely take credit for my own success, especially considering where I came from. I worked damned hard to get where I am, while many others around me did not. From that perspective, I mean “lucky” more as “fortunate.” I am very fortunate to have a safety net that others don’t.
How much do you want to bet that Trump and the other Republicans will all say that we can’t worry about the Russia investigation because the nation now has more important issues to deal with, as well as that any questioning or criticism of the President during this time of conflict is unpatriotic.
I think you’re not paying attention to current design trends. do you see any obnoxious holes in the front bumper pretending to be brake vents? Fake plastic mesh “grilles” where the rear bumper should be? Chrome origami tailpipe bling? Crease lines intersecting with other crease lines intersecting with accent lines?…
Doesn’t Europe have some very specific front end height requirements for pedestrian protection? Seems I remember reading something to that effect a few years back.
If you’re constantly right (and can prove it, not just think you are) enormous egos are justifiable

I heard an excellent take on this:
White women are skilled in self delusion. He’s not taking about *me* he’s taking about *other* women. Men don’t talk about me that way. I’m different. I’m special. I’m one of the guys. I’m not like other girls. Blah blah.
This is yet another reason why I’m not on Facebook or most other social media. People say that Facebook is a great way for people from your past to get back in touch with you. With rare exceptions, in the past is exactly where I want people from my past to remain: high school classmates, etc. The exceptions know how…
Fuck.....That....I would just set the fucking car on fire at that point.
It’s a little different. One wears a flat-brim hat. The other judges your life meaningless because you don’t have kids.
Years ago I worked with a guy who had been a Sea Bee in Cambodia and Vietnam in the early 70s. As a Sea Bee officer, George was issued a brand new (at the time) GMC truck. Now, here in the US those old trucks are generally known to be tough as nails, but George said the Cambodian roads were rough enough to break…
It’s true. Boston is super racist, and in ways that exceed the typical racism of the South. Mark Wahlberg and his youthful hate crimes against Vietnamese men, for example, feel particularly Boston.
I mean, they named it Lynchburg.
The Boston Globe reports that Che said he received a lot of angry messages on social media after making the statement, including one from a woman who was particularly upset. But rather than explaining himself, Che said, he responded with this: “Talk to your closest black friend and ask them to explain it to you.”…
A few years ago, I got into triathlon and bought one of those bicycles with the aero bars, which is the bicycle version of this. After having a constantly sore neck (along with other indignities of being in a hobby requiring spandex), I sold that expensive bitch of a bike off. Crack pipe on that idea.
