If I could subscribe to Prime delivery ONLY, and save a little money, I would. We know why Amazon has the second biggest subscriber base and it's not because we love their programming. 

I don’t entirely disagree about all around character development in these films. But the women actors recv’d way more social media bullsh*t directed to them personally vs. to the writers, director, etc... 

I’m never turning off my ad blocker so...

I like Rey and Daisy Ridley is wonderfully charming, and I really hope people don’t have the gall/stupid to say they hate Rey to her face. I know eventually the Rey hate will dissipate from fan base, look at the love for Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, and Hayden Christensen these days. I think the toxic man babies may need

The new trilogy movies had a lot of that “dumping on the women by toxic boys” vibe going. Kelly Marie Tran, Daisy Ridley,...

None of the movies of the sequel trilogy are full on good movies. All have flaws that are significant enough that they fall short of the mark to various degrees. But Rey, and Ridley’s portrayal of her, aren’t really part of the problems that those movies had. She was a good protagonist for a series. It’s just too bad

I liked all the new characters in the sequels. I just wish they’d had more interesting things to do.

The public is so used to cops lying to shape narratives and cover up their misconduct that no one even notices anymore. It’s just assumed the truth is something else, like you assume the sun will rise in the east every morning. 

K5 blazer didn’t make the cut? I’m a huge Jaws fan so forgive my disappointment 

Seems wrong to leave out “former NASA engineer who worked on the Curiosity Rover that was sent to Mars.” 

But  they install that TruCoat at the factory. There’s nothing we can do about that.

You know what would reduce drunk driving significantly? Well-funded public transportation infrastructure and walkable communities.

This weekend we drove my GF’s new Mercedes GLA250 to Chicago. Neither one of us could figure out how to simply search for radio stations. There’s no tuning knob of course and the “arrows” on the screen would only jump from preset to preset. Finally gave up and put on Apple CarPlay.

Auto Start/Stop

Literally anything that you need to adjust while the vehicle is in motion.

I kind of hate how collectors snapped these up as investments and never allowed them to become the “forgotten and unloved” red-headed stepchildren of the supercar family that an enthusiast could someday pick up for $100k. People badmouthed these so much when they were new, you would have thought that Lexus couldn’t

Some British bullshit, pouring tea on your windshield. This is America, get that gun out the glovebox and shoot the snow off. 

Yup. I mean, partly 4k streaming is worse than regular 1080p bluray disks, due to bitrate restrictions, and 4k blurays are just legions better, but more importantly, companies are just terrible at dealing with their digital libraries. I’ve been swooping in on essentially every cheap 4k sale to make sure I’m not losing

Four hours? That’s generous. Most of these psychos have this shit on 24/7. My father unironically told me once he keeps on because he wants to make sure we’re, and I quote, “not under attack.”

You begin to understand why so many old people are paranoid idiots now when you realize they sit down every single evening and watch programming like this for four hours.
