That article was only so much garbage but I have to hand to the majority of the commenters, for the most part they jumped the author’s shit for that tripe.

Well, I just had to go through and star basically every comment in this thread. Kuddos to the Jez readers not falling for it.
My current work beater is a 98 S-10 that was a former fleet vehicle. It’s got close to 300k on the clock, was around 220k when I bought it for $900 from an old man who bought it as something to mess around with. He put in new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, radiator, brakes, and some other stuff. When I…
Oh that is absolutely part of it. It’s honestly pretty simple, if someone has a shitty attitude about another group of people like that, it will extend to everything else. I know a guy who commonly has to bid against POC for painting jobs. If he feels like he has to lower his price too much to get the work he will…
A couple of common examples: If you are having drywall done and you hear anything about not being able to compete with Mexican crews, you probably have a racist contractor. If you are having significant demolition done, something requiring an onsite dumpster, and the contractor recommends a locked or sealed trash…
Maybe I’m still super naive. I’m just always surprised when it happens to me. I can only assume POC are sick of hearing white people say they don’t see color or don’t care but I really don’t and I’m usually in my own head while I’m working so when some other white dude starts talking that way it comes as a genuine…
Honestly, between ever clear and gasoline I’m not sure which is worse. I’m not even sure I could tell the difference.
Well, where the hell were you 20 years ago?
I think I still do
I used to fancy myself as a drinker. I could chug several beers, do shots all night, etc. One time I took a shot of straight ever clear, choked, threw up, most of the liquor came out of my nose and I couldn’t smell anything for a couple days. 1/10 would not recommend.
Dude it’s not airtight in literally any profession. I maintain and work on historic homes but will work on newer ones when work is lean. I run into contractors of all kinds and if I’m working on a home owned by a POC I will see shoddy work and comments about why it’s shoddy. (This relates to what I call the Secret…
I think a fascinating thesis could be written about the strange group of people with mixed ancestry that are also racist. Not even just the ones who got the Ancestry or 23andme done and found out after a lifetime of racist behavior, but the ones who know where the mixing took place and are still racist. I knew a guy…
People oftentimes forget the original name of the Boomers; they were called the ‘me generation.’ What can I get for myself, how does this benefit me?
Several people in my family own Harley’s and even oil changes are scheduled weeks in advance. They would have to expand significantly to take on anything else.
I want to make out with you right now haha (kidding) Mic drop, my friend, there is no better reply.
I started playing on day one of launch and have played pretty consistently through seasons 2 and 4. The game has done a great job with this latest update. The guns feel much more balanced than previously. I’ll totally hang onto the prowler now, it’s great. The L-Star is a little OP at close range but seems useless as…
This is what you get for enabling 1 click purchases and then letting your kid play with your phone. At least with Prime the shipping is free.
Snakes don’t have legs and fish don’t have feet, that’s why they don’t get lucrative endorsement contracts from Nike.
I don’t have 1,014 hours of Rocket League, YOU have 1,014 hours of Rocket League.
She is freaking gorgeous. Worn out, sweaty, and still stopping traffic.
