I will agree this is a good example - so maybe the difference is if other people on the road are made to suffer or forced to change their own normal driving habits?

Of every surrogate I remember seeing for Bernie, he was by far the most cogent and the most compelling. I hope he continues in some form of activism where that skill set can be put to good use.

Yes, zero liberals thought this was funny.

Are you saying that the President’s spouse should be paid, or that they should have divorced when he was elected, or that his office should make no impositions onto her life? I’m trying to understand, because my first thought is that the position of President’s spouse (well aware they have all been women, yes) is…

So, I feel I have to comment - bear with me a moment.

He mentioned that he initiates 90% of the dates, if I understood what he is saying. I feel like that high percentage might be indicative of someone who wants to move fast once someone shows interest - not necessarily for any negative reason (it’s easy to get tired of being alone), but nevertheless feeling like a…

Came here expecting a lot more rage-posting from people trying to defend their penis-enlargers and insecurity compensators. Was slightly surprised to find haughty dipshit talk about ‘race horses’ and such crap to not be the overwhelming majority.

I feel like concern with respect for your decisions is reasonable until it spills over into being opposed to your choices. But once it crosses that line, you have to put up some distance, or it will erode the relationship. Just my opinion, based on my observations and experiences.

She already ‘gave them a chance’ for that matter - they were fake-polite to her and then complained to him behind her back. So, knowing that not only do they not approve, but that she cannot trust what they say to her, exactly how many chances does this commenter expect her to give them? I say if they want to be…

This - I would likely cut them off for being disgusting people, even if the relationship didn’t work out. I don’t want that in my life, and I’m not going to hang around and tolerate it because family.

This is an interesting point - where is the line between I’m self-confident, an enthusiast, and don’t need approval to get enjoyment from the car” and “I’m an arrogant douche, make selfish choices, and don’t care if others are affected by my assholish ways”?

+1 for even considering doxxing someone who, if living, is probably 90 by now and would likely not know/care/understand. I respect your willingness to try all avenues.

Almost bought this car new circa 1994 or so, but got the two door Tercel instead (metallic light green - lord, the 90s). Always regretted it, but got a Saturn SC2 in 1996 and that turned out to be a good car to learn how to hoon in.

Posting this, where it could be so easily clicked on before I remembered what it contains is akin to pulling the pin on a hand grenade, painting it orange and then wedging it in a fruit bowl. Only my vigilance kept me safe. . .

Was about to post this - glad you handled it.

There’s a second factor that you are keying on here, in my opinion - people who come from struggle are often better equipped to deal with it, which can definitely mitigate a lot of what we are talking about.

When they start charging you for the snacks and booze on the flight you had to take anyway (and don’t lower the ticket price), you will gain a greater understanding of what ‘free’ means in this context.

It is a little sad, but it is also brilliant by your friend. Cheap insurance against most of the worst things that wearing a turban on an airliner can bring, I would think, and perks too. Hopefully by being seen doing that, he is also enlightening people and changing the larger problem as well.

It is true of any customer service, but I think Flight Attendants have it especially bad, as they have to enforce rules they have no control over, onto a population of people who have no other recourse (at least at the time), and where everyone is captive and uncomfortable to begin with.

People always conflate the idea that luck is involved, with somehow saying the lucky didn’t work hard, when that is hardly ever true. But they usually fail to understand that an advantaged background imparts all kind of things related to a person’s decision making process (adversity to risk, sense of relative ability,…
