The UAW doesn’t have the luxury of choosing when they strike. Contract expiration (as far as I know) is pretty much the only time they can strike and negotiate anything. How the broader economy impacts it or how their strike impacts local economies is mostly dumb luck. All of those factors can just as reasonably be…

Since this accounted for the total number of each model available, there just may not have been enough stollen relative to the total amount sold. Number 10 only took 33 thefts and number 3 only took 90. I think Kia was most popular in the online stuff too, so maybe that all helped? 

This seems like as good a time as any to shout out “How Religion Evolved And Why It Endures” by Robin Dunbar, the same guy who brought us Dunbar’s Number.

Check out “How Religion Evolved And Why It Endures” by Robin Dunbar (that’s the same Dunbar that coined Dunbar’s Number). It may not answer your question, but it gets you thinking about how our social nature gets us into weird shit like religion and how it gets continuously fractured.

Thunderbird. Have it make thunder sounds during acceleration too. 

and you probably wanted to share, but if you weren’t sharing already you may have been too shy. Alcohol didn’t make the person happy or share, they already were happy, they already wanted to share. Alcohol just helped the person drop their mask and/or insecurities.

I guess it has been a long time since anyone actually advertised a car as a comfy cruiser and instead just try to make any sedan look like race cars in commercials. The t-bird popped to me because my grandpa had a ‘73 and any stories about it were the stereotypical main street cruises and stuff like that.

The malaise era is ready for their time to shine.

Was that supposed to be a sporty car? I thought those were meant to be big, comfy cruisers. 

They had to maintain the GM tradition of putting out garbage, perfecting it, and then cutting it once perfected because everyone just remembered the garbage that came first. 

I think it’s wildly ignorant to believe that a substance that alters a person’s brain chemistry exclusively alters it to just make them more honest and absolutely doesn’t have any other effects on decision making. It’s also super ignorant to think that absolutely nothing else about a person’s psychological state or…

So a substance that literally alters your brain chemistry isn’t actually altering anything. Laws and social norms are the real brain altering things and alcohol just makes someone their truest self. You have clearly never had a single negative thought about anyone ever. Nor have you ever been tempted to do a single…

That’s almost everyone all the time. People are constantly thinking negative things about others or tempted to do something wrong, but a fully function brain reminds us of the consequences or that we shouldn’t be an asshole. Kids can be cruel because they haven’t gone through the social development to learn that it’s…

I don’t even want a rental from them anymore, just to be sure I don’t have deal with the inconvenience of someone smashing the window to see if they can steal it. On top of the awful security, they did everything they could to fight doing anything about it until basically every AG in the country sued them.

That last part has always annoyed me. It’s okay to be mad at people for their drunken antics, considering most people choose to be drunk. However, the concept that someone is just a more authentic version of themselves because they are consuming a literal brain altering substance just seems like one of those stupid…

From what I’ve read China LOVED Buick, so it was just a matter of selling them here too because they keep making them. Idk if those sales are still justifying their existence, so I won’t be shocked when Buick gets axed eventually. GM did also announce that Buick will be full BEV by like 2030, so maybe that is what…

There are other apps that already exist to give recipes or make meals using a list of ingredients input by the user. This just looks like another of those, but makes sure to include “AI” in the press release. 

The only value I’ve gotten from Panera in probably 5+ years was when they started that coffee subscription, but the first 3 months were free. Once that free cycle ended, Panera went back to the place I’d forget exists until I’m hungry and see one, then look at the menu, only to see the cost and remember why I stopped…

This. One of my nearby grocery stores pretty much stopped using cashiers (despite still having the registers) so my household just stopped going there. I think Bill Burr sums self-checkout the best.

IMO, the Buick’s look better than the Chevy’s and I would prefer one of those, having shopped the 3 row market much of last year. However, you are correct that you can effectively option a Chevy to match the partner Buick, much like you can with GMC. I suppose Buick is a bit more bubbly/elegant, Chevy is boxy,…
