“The nexus event the Lokis formed was them finding companionship in each other.”

The meta point of the show is that these kinds of sitcoms (Everybody Loves Raymond, According to Jim) are horror shows, just a different kind.

“Sure; I guess I have never seen TikTok or “influencer” culture as a reliable source of steady income anyway, and this is just another way that such income can be interrupted.”

You’re fucking stupid, and you should be embarrassed.

Yeah, I feel like the bleak wasteland of Allison’s viewpoint is the starting point of the show. (The showrunners are free to prove me wrong.) Allison’s viewpoint will get less apocalyptic and shift tones as her character grows, becomes stronger emotionally, and learns to fight back against the toxic influences in her…

But then being stalked and clawed by every feral cat within a 1 mile radius would be a real downside.

The name of the show isn’t “Allison Kills Kevin”. The name of the show is “Kevin Can Fuck Himself”.

There’s no satire. A satire is where the absurdity of something else is played for laughs, usually maliciously. This show is taking the absurdity of Allison’s life and playing it straight, like an observer watching a speeding train when they know the bridge is out ahead.   

This is very true! Start the bidding at a reasonable market price + import taxation + penalty, and either the car gets sold to the highest bidder, or I suppose Duterte could shop it around to some Middle Eastern sheiks to see if they want it for a decent price.

I really don’t think the dude paying top dollar to smuggle in a unicorn McLaren is really discouraged from spending more of his fuck-you money to now own the vehicle legally in the same country.

Senators said that it takes more money, energy, and resources to destroy them when you factor in the resources used in making the cars. Sound reasoning. But with Duterte in office,…

Thor did take off his (sun)glasses!  He’s beautiful again!

First, find out why the engine was replaced at 130,000 miles. (I’m guessing IMS bearing failure!)

*shrug* Of course, the better question is, why?

If “Good design requires fewer inputs”, then why the hell would they remove purpose-designed tactile controls for functions and instead...make you dig around in a touchscreen menu?

Sooo.... the Tesla Atom?   That’ll be fun!

I think the real solution to the frequent crashes at the 11'8" bridge is to make it smaller. Hear me out!

We’re talking about the Reuters and Bloomberg articles where VW and Renault have gotten into trouble for cheating on diesel emissions, right? The article is about a VW executive lying about it to the German legislators.

There are plenty of passenger cars that do long-haul interstate driving, which is what diesels excel at. The max efficiency advantages of diesel engines (~35%, if I remember my thermodynamics right) over gasoline engines will mean that it always is an attractive option for ICE. The current problem with diesels has…
