I’m 100% with you on reading contracts and accepting consequences you agreed to. Always. Even with the united guy, he was in the wrong and Chicago PD fucked up by assaulting him but united was acting according to their contract in that case. The optics were terrible, but united did what they said they would.

Not to pile on (Wait, I’m doing exactly that. Whatever.), but what you and some others call “purity bullshit” or a “100% perfect” “unicorn” candidate some of find to be just the absolute minimum. And if a candidtade doesn’t meet the absolute minimum, we’re all fucked anyway, so we might as well let the worse…

Thats your shitty opinion, and was uncalled for. Now a few of mine:

I’m confused too. 80" is a standard height, and that’s really pretty short. I’m under 6' (~71") tall and I could press against a 88" doorframe, not sure how a 5'9 (69") person can’t manage an 80" reach. I would think anyone over 5'5" should be able to reach a doorframe pretty easily.

I don’t agree with the policy or much about the state of the world. Students shouldn’t “have to” sell sex to pay for school (though in my experience more choose to to maintain an overinflated standard of living rather than pay for school costs. Your new designer shoes aren’t covering your tuition bill. I went to…

This isn’t about a law, or what private citizens can do with their personal lives. It’s about squad and school policy being violated by a subset of students who agreed to be held to a different standard in exchange for getting to do an activity they enjoy while representing the school. These women could be SBs and…

are you caling it a novel because of its length?  I deleted half of it before I posted, even in internet hyperbole this is maybe a novella if you really squint.

Seems to me this is like the bullshit outrage a couple weeks ago over people on airline passes having to meet a dress code. Look, I’m all for decriminalied sex work, but that’s another discussion. Point is while you can defend Seeking Arrangement and working in strip clubs as ‘technically legal’ and ‘not…

SO TRUE. Not only is BMW ‘not perfect,’ many of their cars are nightmares that don’t even begin to meet the standards Mr. McParland seems to say are required of a ‘luxury’ car. In all honesty, I’m not even sure BMW counts as luxury, and they have almost 0 reliability in my experience. My e92 335 had the worst interior…

Off the top of my head, how about any sort of consulting, advice, marketing or other creative based company?

I said he should maybe listen to a guy trying (and failing, as uber drivers all do, if they are competent enough in their finances to understand the real cost per mile of operating their vehicles, hence the conversation about maybe raising prices) to make ends meet rather than operating a ‘company’ whose sole purpose…

Counter Counter point: Guy trying to make ends meet tells the guy whose company is losing money faster than anyone in Tech ever, “just a thought, but maybe your strategy is not only demonstrably finically wrong, but also hurts people you depend on and should be looking out for.” CEO storms out, proving the driver’s…

I don’t get this “can’t imagine buying a sedan thing.” Sorry to go off on you, It’s a much more widespread problem, but it’s insane. Unless you have 4 kids, anything bigger than a mid size is just overkill and compensation.

My old roommate was given a big stack of “I park like an asshole” bumper stickers years ago. To this day whenever he sees someone taking mulitple parking spaces on a crowded day or whatever, he sticks one on their car. He’s used >100 in 5+ years, so it’s really only when someone deserves it, but hopefully a few of…

Nice. My two cents? I get the fiesta parallel to Top Gear’s piece, but honestly, how does one want to drive around inside a mall and not reference the Blues Brothers? So much more exciting as a scene in the first place, and wouldn’t you rather ram a big old American boat (74 Dodge Monaco in Black and white maybe?)…

I run a restaurant, one of my neighboring establishments let their whole kitchen staff go Thursday (and another told theirs “If you aren’t here thursday, make sure you’ve found me someone to take your place friday morning, because you aren’t coming back”) for the same, “I do so much for them, how could they do this to…

I watched trump get mass ignored once. It was great at the time, and looking back terrifyingly foreshadowing.

Totally anecdotal, but 95+% of the time I put the proximity key in the dash slot. And I’ve had proximity keys my entire driving life, from a 2005 Prius, all the way to my BMW today, so I’m not just doing it because it’s a recent transition or I’m used to decades of a real key. Sure, I’m somewhat concerned about…
