Why are people forgetting the basics of creative writing, specifically fiction? Three acts, in which the protagonists start together (Act I), are confronted with challenges individually and in groups that develop character arcs (Act II), and then come back together, stronger or wiser or beat-up and struggling, for the…

So, in any given story, there are things called ‘acts’, in which the tales area actually told between the beginning and the end.

My dad drove one of these when I was a kid, it was even white. Me and my brother would rps for shotgun, with the loser crawling into the bed under the fiberglass topper, since that front bucket isn’t built for two butts. It wasn’t fast, and it wasn’t warm, but I’d find that little truck again if I thought it was still…

Not to call you out for being the angry asshole, but most of your rant is totally baseless. He even says the rescue was righteous - I don’t se how you got so bent out of shape about a somewhat fun article.

Came looking for this. Probably the only justification for such obscene rim size. Somewhat related, I saw one of these donks tip over trying to make a turn here in Portland the other day. Wish I’d had my gopro, but I was just riding to work... “Oh, he’s not gonna....ohh...OHH!....OOOOOO that’s not gonna buff out”. It…

Talk to me after a cross-country drive with no audio accompaniment. I’m down with a sweet engine note, but I’ve also ran delivery for many years, and being trapped inside a car with no stereo for 8 hours a day will quickly help you appreciate a decent sound system.

Did we skip the sentence explaining that these are factory anodized?

And by ‘mods’ you mean....the stereo?

Anyplace you can get to on a golf cart, a teenager can walk to.

Remember that the ground levels out from a decent uphill climb as you approach the apex, so the back end of the bike is going to go light just as the front end comes back down - all under heavy braking. If you watch the race, every couple of laps you could spot a rider fighting to keep that rear wheel on the ground at…

ROFL last weekend, I’d love to be lurking in the Duc pits after that finish. I’m sure the air itself was on fire, fueled by Italian curse words and passion.

Yeah they build better roads that way, so they can handle more weight... the longest trucks in the world run down there.

Hey it’s all good you better not commit a very minor traffic violation anytime soon, lest someone like the asshat in this video run you down and threaten your life. Because with your statements it would be entirely justifiable to do just that.

fuck me it’s easy to hate stupid diabetics.

WRONG. Oregon recently passed some lane-splitting legislation, but it’s a joke given the limitations and speed restrictions they piled onto it.

“That one broke right there!”

Chris Evans and Eddie Jordan. Two people I cannot stand, alone, for any reason - everything they say is somehow annoying, even when I agree. For several years I watched EJ struggle to speak on the BBC F1 broadcasts and it was all I could do to not skip whatever portions he showed up in. His ‘interview’ style is/was to…

The gold-and-chrome treatment is so ‘gangsta’ 90's. And edging way too close to Drumpf-y. If your skin was the color of arsenic-flavored marshmallows and you really had a thing for showing off your wealth, this was it, man, bitd. Given current popular trends, it may be that gaudy, over-the-top displays of faux wealth…

Once, a long time ago, I dropped near $1,000 for an adjustable coil-over setup (and dampers) for my mazda. I took like a hundred photos, close-ups of that gold anodized aluminum, the blood-red springs, and shots from every single corner as I lowered everything to just.the.right.height. Back when you could fill a flash…
