I made the mistake of looking up the database of Abandoned Seafarers.
There can’t be that many, said I, how bad can it be?
Before I clicked on the link to the database, and then the Internet reminded me of why you don’t play the ‘How Bad Can It Be?’ game with clicks.
There. Are. So. Many.
So. Many.
It’s terrifying, and…

Which was so much better than this. So much better. And they fixed it.
And that was for a national healthcare platform that was required to deal with people’s health, while this?
-
Um.
It’s required like being tossed with gravel and rolled with salt is required.
And still?
This is crashing. 

So.
Wait, correct me I’m wrong, but wouldn’t these cars get better gas mileage if they didn’t have such massive horsepower and they accelerated less quickly and we also weren’t so in love with giant vehicles, wouldn’t we get better gas mileage?
So, no, the small, light car that gets good gas mileage is not a lie.
In the…

Right?
Doing so is basically putting your hands on another person, and that, simply, is not allowed, right?
Right?
Sigh.
I mean, WTF.

Now, I’m not a big ‘eye for an eye’ type of person, but because we’re not talking about eyes here, a ‘like for like’ punishment, seems like a good way to begin justice in such cases, and…

So, why can’t you just rebuckle the seatbelt behind you?
Or if you’re into this kind of thing, cut the belt and ‘plug’ the buckle in?

1977 or 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit.
My grandparents bought two, a red one, with a diesel engine and as plain as plain could be, for my grandfather while my grandmother’s?
Hers was a bright green one that ran on gas, had a cassette deck, and, miracle of miracles to my young self who had never encountered one up to that…

My logic?
There was some following of a metaphor, but I’m not sure how logical I was being.
I was attempting to be satirical.
I totally agree with you C.B., and the trick is where we’ve been taught those ‘lines we draw’ exist, and in what form.

I thought by my tone and mislabeling of concepts and careers and so on, I…

Oh, sure, but that goes hand in hand with building a Brand, and then managing to create some kind of loyalty with that brand. All along the way, marketing (ie lying for the good of the Product) happened, sure.
And of course, I’m simplifying this whole world drastically.
My point was: nah, it’s not surprising people get…

Wait, wait, don’t start blaming the victim, the tree was just growing there.

We’re a Brand society working with consumerism and Capitalism.
How do we know what to buy?
The Marketeers associate and then produce aspects of a Brand.
We get used to that, we buy it, we like it, we keep buying that Brand.
The Marketeers further enhance the Brand, and if we like it, we keep buying it.
When the Makers shut…

I wanted to repost this story, but that noose as an image?
That image travels with the story and I find it horrifying.
Do we need it?
That noose graphic appears with this story, and I’m not propagating that noose any further than I have to, but I want to share this story.
Am I nuts, here?

These. Are. So. GREAT!
Thank you so much for thinking of the article topic, and then making a slideshow (or gathering with image representations) the results!
Hooray!
Now.
The problem is that not having all of these conveniences in each vehicle is a crime.
A. Crime! I say!
So, Jalopniks, you guys have all the powers, all…

But, how else are you going to call to say,
“Mom? Yeah, that bridge you hate? I’mma gonna fuck it right now.”

Hmmm.
Now you’ve got me dreaming of a cold fried chicken restaurant.

For hot days.

Why did she bite rabbits?

Nice!
I didn’t know such things existed, and now I do!
Eduvacation!

And wow, I looked at how this works, and it’s beautiful.
Reminds me, for some reason of the VW W12.
Maybe it’s all the chains.

I’m most impressed with how they worked out the solution for suspension travel with those crazy long compression spinners.
Those…

So.
Wait.
Can white people not read?
Because as this article points out, the prayer is from the perspective of a person who doesn’t hate white people, but who is exploring their options is all.
Hopefully with some divine assistance.
The prayer is funny, articulate, piercing without being strident, careful and wise.
But one…

Right?
Just a good place to start is all.

GAH!
That men would be stupid and creepy enough to use that tired, “Gee, you know something awful might happen to you, and I could be the awful!”
GAH!
How terrible.
I’m so sorry.
That men could be so thoughtless and creepy.
Over and over again.
I’m sorry. 

Thank you for this question, as my year, 1970, had some great cars, including the BMW 2002, which I think is quite charming.
Or the Datsun 240z.
American?
Chevelle.
