Maybe you missed the point, allow me to simplify:

My pre-emptive condolences to whichever VA inevitably gets bullied off Twitter after being announced as the replacement.

Wow.

What’s the over/under on him just saying “fuck it, I’m gonna put in a laugh track this time”?

Counterpoint: Thor: Ragnarok is a top-five MCU movie and has the most perfect use of humor in the franchise.

Nobody even wants self driving cars. No one would buy a 100% self driving car.  The only people that want self driving cars are craphole companies like Uber that want to get out of having to pay their employees.

My favorite thing about Trader Joe’s checkouts is that their cashiers are very, very good at bagging. No other store I’ve been to comes close. It seems like common sense, but I’ve been at grocery stores where I carefully sort things - heavier items first, cold items together, etc - and then the cashier just chucks…

Lack of consent is the big problem you see with Sixteen Candles??? You mean the movie with fucking Long Duk Dong as a character?

“Barbara Billingsley a.k.a. TV’s June Cleaver “speaking jive” to random Black guys wasn’t funny in 1980 and it’s definitely not funny now.”

The only reason someone should return an acting award is if it turns out it’s not actually their performance, somewhat like Milli Vanilli and their Grammy. This obviously hasn’t happened yet, and isn’t likely to any time soon, but I suppose we could get to a point where actors are replaced with computer generated…

The Sheriff needs to choose his words more carefully. He just issued a challenge to all the ass clowns who don’t know that they are ass clowns. At no point did he say “Do not under any circumstances try to traverse Black Bear Pass.” He only said “you need the right vehicle.”  I assure you, the ass clowns all think…

Valid for Nissan owners, the rest of us do buy insurance.

Elon, that you? 

The one kink in the argument of “as they become more common they’ll become cheaper” is that we’ve been making lithium batteries in gigantic quantities for electronics for awhile now. While the cooling part of the EV battery could get cheaper, I doubt the actual cells will come down much. You’re talking a limited…

There are no CUVs or SUVs that have the interior dimensions or rear load height of a basic minivan

If I won’t buy a $50k ICE vehicle I’m not going to buy a $50k EV. Call me when you start selling cheap EV citycars like the Renault Zoe.

So much this. Nearly everyone I know is fully onboard with EVs. Who wouldn’t be? They’re smoother, quieter, and require way less maintaiance. The auto industry has spent the last two decades trying to turn ICE vehicles into appliaces, and EVs are better appliances. They do the daily commute and will basically only…

“It looks like it’s going to be a bit harder for automakers to convince people”

“Yes, I get the joke. I see what they were going for. But, the idea of Robert Downey Jr. spending the entire movie in Blackface, pretending to be a Black man was just wildly misguided and offensive.”

Middle aged Asian male here, love the Rush Hour trilogy and good-natured ribbing between Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan. There are so few Asian/Black film and song collaborations (Snoop Dog and Psy?) out there. I would love to see more of these joint appearances. Small step, perhaps, towards better rapprochement between…
