YES. I see either of those cars — well, any Subie other than a WRX STI — and literally steer clear because people who drive those are dangerous to the rest of us who were actually taught defensive driving skills.

Or Volvos because they depend on the car to keep them safe rather than their driving skills. Generally, people who hate cars and drive POSs also can barely drive.

This is the part where I’m grateful for my dad, who was a selfish asshole in so many other ways; he really did right by his two daughters when it came to cars. Dad raced motorcycles for 25 years and then taught us both how to drive. We weren’t allowed to get our licenses until we knew how to check the oil and add some…

Best. Racing. Movie. Ever.

I fell madly in love with Daniel Brühl because of that movie. He’s also amazing in Inglorious Basterds and Colonia.

That’s the only holiday movie I can stand to watch, with the possible exception of Gremlins.

They also had a terrific 80s soundtrack for her, which might be why Hotel has been my favorite season. They used Depeche Mode! And Joy Division! OMG!

I had this exact same experience at a Margaritaville in Orlando and I am right there with you. Also, Orlando is the Las Vegas of Florida and it’s horrible.

This probably won’t be a very popular post, but goddamn I hate Jimmy Buffet with a white-hot fire that burns like 10,000 suns. The main reason is because his parrothead fans are so thoroughly insufferable and appear to have no taste in music whatsoever. Mostly, they appear to be overgrown, white, entitled, fratastic…

Yes, ^^^this. In addition to unfollowing a lot of people, I’ve also become very carefully consciously selective about what I click on to read and especially what I like. Because every click registers in some aggregator somewhere and I’ll just see more of the same old shit.

I read that back in the early 90s I think and I’ve been meaning to re-read it. As soon as I finish re-reading The Handmaid’s Tale (mentally preparing myself for a Trump Administration), I’ll get right on Backlash.

I had an ‘89 Nissan pickup truck! The odometer didn’t really work, so I might have acquired it at around 160,000 miles, or maybe 180,000, I can’t remember. It drove like chewed gum, but after I got the carburator rebuilt... well, she was a mess, but reliable and I agree, fun in certain circumstances. I never had…

I realize that probably at least half of you weren’t even alive in 1990, but this movie has been done already. Did all y’all know that? It was brilliant and I’m looking forward to the remake because if Idiocracy was a prophesy, this is too. Terrifying.

My kingdom for a butt like that.

I was in line at a convenience store with a guy friend once and this woman walked up with 1. A box of tampons, 2. A Cosmo, 3. Chocolate, 4. A bottle of Advil, and 5. A bag of chips. My friend gestured for her to go ahead of us — we let her skip the line.

I will gladly pay $12 for that full meal if it means the employees are treated better.

You know why Mormons stop having kids at 35?

Same, but let’s just high five quietly please. Preferably silently.

That’s pretty much where I stood on the books. The first one, “Meh, okay, this has potential. Interesting concept, executed well. Decent pacing.” The second book, “Mmmm, I’m not too sure I’m in agreement with the direction this has taken and why does Tris make such stupid decisions and why is she so insecure about…

“Why not make Spock gay?”
