I would be careful soliciting advice from “Autism Advocates” because many try to urge parents of children with Autism to avoid ABA therapy because they themselves had experienced “trauma” that they allege was from the therapy. As a father of 2 year old son diagnosed with Autism who is in ABA therapy (specifically,…

But your last paragraph demonstrates how this is always a matter of degree than kind. How do you define awful? How do you define unrepentant? What looks like cancel culture run amok to you probably looks to someone else like a very reasonable response to something beyond the pale. Who gets to be the grand arbiter of…

I think you miss the point. “Journalists” have been using this tactic against people for years.

Is there a fourth ski on that car or was Roger Moore much more of a man than I thought he was?

So...they didn’t hear the Weasel?

There are tons of lost books, movies, and other forms of art that disappeared solely because it was illegal to make copies and the people responsible for them didn’t care and allowed them to be destroyed. It’s a travesty that we continue the trend, and have added video games to the garbage pile.

The wildest car story of my life came from something like this.

To make a long story short, I sold a car on ebay. Buyer was a south african scammer.

But he wasn’t. Yes he was south african, but I told him i has to pick up the car in person with cash I see him get at a bank. thought the scammer would go away, but instead…

The mints are actually vintage as well... see the May 96 date in the bottom right-hand corner of the package?

GM cars that use the reverse lights as approach lights. Some mouthbreather never thought that this would cause tons of confusion in a parking lot.

The 4Runner’s weak feeling low end on the 5th gens has more to do with throttle mapping than anything else. It could best be described as “always-Eco-mode.” I’m assuming engineers tuned it this way primarily to coach/force average users to drive more efficiently, in that way keeping people from moaning about poor city…

This isn’t my favorite movie but I don’t know how anyone hates it. The only flaw of the movie is that it’s altogether so silly. But that doesn’t even have to be considered a flaw from the right vantage point.

Yes they have questionable origins. So does fuck. Try removing that word from an american’s dictionary. No can do.

If words and phrases no longer have any offensive connotations to 99.9% of people, why bother? Languages evolve over time, these phrases have completely divorced themselves from their origins. Literally no one is complaining about this.

I have been travelling for a living for nearly 20 years. I have to say that New Orleans would be my pick for “Most wildly overrated vacation spot in N America if not the planet”. The city is known for basically 4 things, food, jazz, some weird amalgam of “French”, “Creole” or “European” culture (all pretty much as…

Sexual frustration leads men to act in violence and sexual assault, its why all but 2 of the top 20 most unstable countries on earth happen to have legalised polygamy and a massive surplus of single men.

I agree. I also think the version they played on SNL this year should be part of every Christmas song rotation from now on. (If you haven’t seen this, and think it’s just another acoustic version of Everlong, then please just stick around until about the 2:00 mark. :) )

I had a 1986 XT in the early 90s. It was a glorious car with turbo, 4wd, and factory hydraulic suspension. And the most awesome interior. The steering wheel, gauge cluster, and shift lever have yet to be matched by any other car I’ve owned since.

This is great cause it happened to a rich, white man. I remember the first time me and my buddies laughed at a woman’s misfortune. Oh, wait. No, we didn’t. Regardless of political leanings, no-one deserves to have their home trashed in this manner. Authoritarian leftists are just as bad as right-wing, bible-thumping…

The legendary pony car began life in 1963

Good article on the New Car but crappy research on the history, it was released in 1964 as a 1965 model, was brilliant for six years, ok for the next three, totally sucked the following four then started to become awesome again in 1979.
