I have the unfortunate current circumstances of living in a huge military town (Colorado Springs), and it is no exaggeration to say that every week I either see a little ‘d’ muscle car / pickup truck do something with complete contempt for humanity or read about the aftereffects of something similar in the newspaper.

Stop making these ridiculous cars! People can do stupid things in any car, but we don’t need to make it so damned easy. 

Honestly, I’m OK with it.

So, I know this is a car site and all but, Who the fuck needs a car with 500 hp? Why is something like this available from the factory, for sale to normal idiots who have enough money to buy one but nothing else that says they’re capable of handling a car with this much power?

In a way it’s kinda satisfying to see boomers being forced to live in the world they made- they’re the generation that worshiped cars and saw cars as freedom, and they legislated a world where that is reality. Boomers cut spending on public transit, cut spending on infrastructure, cut spending on schools (which leads

That Shkreli-like smirk on Donald The Felon’s face:

“Across our operation, Delta teams are working tirelessly to care for and make it right for customers impacted by delays and cancellations as we work to restore the reliable, on-time service they have come to expect from Delta.”

We just are so much better than this.

Sounds like the market for small and efficient cars is greater than Ford et al would have us believe

So if you’re looking for something small, efficient and affordable, dealers will screw you?

Including Ben Shapiro in your argument is a sure sign you’ve already lost.

GOP: government should not interfere with private business! Small government!!

Start a band with Charlyne Yi?

That poor Rebel Wilson, she just always seems to be mistreated by everyone she comes in contact with. What’s that saying? -- If you meet one arsehole, you’ve met an arsehole, but if you meet nothing but arseholes... then something something. 

Notes on this (significantly compiled from things others have already said):

Honestly, I don’t miss the movie theater experience mainly because it was extremely rare for me to have a good theater experience. The best experiences I’ve ever had in theaters were when hardly anyone else was there.

Wait, where’s all the hand-wringing and blaming the consumers? We need another Nicole Kidman commercial reminding us that we the common folk should be putting our collective health on the line in the midst of a pandemic to save the movie theatres.

Executives and senior “leadership” in every industry are largely a bunch of incompetent sociopaths and morons. NONE of them “earn” their exorbitant pay and perks through competence and capable leadership.

Sadly in the US, the current market trend is to keep working at 66 if you are healthy enough to do it. With pensions pretty much no longer being a thing for most people and the last few years really fucking over 401Ks, the later baby boomers just can’t afford to stop working in their mid 60s, if they expect to live

While I certainly don’t feel sorry for her, it’s undeniable she’s been put through the ringer, both for things that were outside of her control as well as for her own flaws and shortcomings.
