It seems like, as with many industries, short sighted is the order of the day. :/

I’d even love to see MBV now. We saw A Place To Bury Strangers a year or so ago and I would imagine that was somewhat similar to MBV in many ways- LOUD and a lot of swirly. I wasn’t prepared for how loud that first note/hit would be. You could literally see the first row of people kinda pushed back when they started.…
1. Jeeeeeeeez. What do you do then? Stand on a bigass iso pad to decouple from the floor maybe? As much as I always enjoyed LOUD when Iwas younger, I finally understand “better” isn’t the same as “louder”, though sometimes it’s just kinda fun.
That’s not the *only* thing that concerns me, but it’s pretty high on the list.
We talking SWANS loud?
Yeah, but keep doing it. I have seen- few and very far between- a couple of dudes come around finally. Even if the needle only moves a little, that’s something.
This. I mean, we all ARE actually negatively affected, if indirectly, but I agree. Also, I can’t think of a single cis dude that I know under the age of 60 that is anti-abortion. Like most things going horribly wrong right now, the assholes causing this trouble are the minority who somehow have power. This shit has to…
2nd: That BMW ad was pretty great. I don’t normally even give up the time spent to watch ads for products I’ll never buy even if I could someday afford them, but that was both kind of sweet and a sick burn.
for a long time, here (KC) was a near-perfect balance between all of those, but it’s starting to get weird and more expensive here now, too. Nowhere near NY or SF prices, but still.
I have to admit, I kinda just don’t “get” energy drinks. The best result as far as energy I ever got from any of them was slightly jittery but no more real energy, and they taste like piss from a cyborg- like piss, but not entirely organic piss. Gross.
I got stuck in a rental Versa for a week or so a couple of years ago, and it would have been meh, okay for the price if it wasn’t terrifyingly slow accelerating to highway speed. I was very happy when I didn’t have to drive it anymore.
The reliability thing for sure. When I was looking to replace my first xB years ago after it was totaled, I looked at the Cube for about a second. It just felt...cheap. It’s hard to put a finger on, but I didn’t even remotely feel like I could trust it as much as a Toyota.
This thing would be redeemable- hell, I’d even consider one- if it got the fuel economy of a Scion xB. As it is, nope.
Power and Light- and all of the downtown and nearby development- is sadly pushing out a lot of the old guard of artists and whatnot that made the area desirable in the first place. I remember looking at houses 20 years ago and realtors using P&L as a selling point then, way before it came to pass, and what and where it…
KC is slowly catching up with transit, and with people moving back to the urban core, prices are getting fairly expensive for here. If you have to commute at all it still kind of sucks. I mean, it could be worse- I don’t envy what my oldest kiddo pays for basically anything in SF- but KC is kind of weird anymore.
I’m talking commuting, not long-distance travel- that’s another kettle of fish. Walk, bus, streetcar, small AV/EV thingy in the hypothetical future, annoying scooter in the present from the station to your destination? All of these other than the EV minibus thingy are available in downtown KC right now, and we’re not…
If you can’t keep up with 70 mph traffic, how about you just stay off the interstate and then this is a non-issue for you save the rest of us the effort expended on giving you the single finger salute?
