Damn, for a minute my mind mistook this for Tomsize and I thought maybe finally someone at Gawker listens to something that’s recent and isn’t some nostalgia trip from their past.

The weird legion of obnoxious pedants who obsess over old Porsches are a different market than the people who buy new ones.

The fighters need to unionize. The promotional duties for the UFC are absurd. Fighters end up flying all over the place which screws you all up.

Jeannette has a really good speaking voice - voiceover work quality. You guys should get her to narrate all your stuff, she can be like your Morgan Freeman.

It visually looks dated. The old ID pushed the boundaries with tech which was one of the reasons their games were successful. Novel gameplay ideas too in the form of the Quake series multiplayer. This is just... old-looking tech with a bunch of doom assets. Doom 3 was interesting because it viscerally felt more real…

I heard they got a big discount on some new old stock Takata airbags so they’ll be saving consumers a lot of money.

They need to be a lot higher if we’re going to get our infrastructure to reasonable condition. Or we need to start taxing transport more since large trucks are the ones that deteriorate road conditions the most.

Disagree: <Controversial statement with no backing argument, evidence or experience>
OK.

True enough, but that extends other places. If you’re a Caps fan you may not have the same perspective on it. DC has no consistent sports identity (MAYBE the football team - which is its own debacle) except in a handful of the out-there burbs in blue collar MD. DC and most of the closer metro stops are full of…

This comment thread is a complete catastrophe. At the top a bunch of people culturally appropriating bougie. And even still, they can’t resist going “my favorite hot sauce is handmade in traditional fashion in the foothills of Paraguay, you probably haven’t heard of it.”

I owned one for a while. They’re overvalued for actually driving now. If you want to hang on to it as a collector and baby it, not a bad buy but parts are getting rarer (the transmission is not strong, same with the diff) so driving it hard probably isn’t too great an idea. It kinda sucks when you’re not wringing it…

I always forget that Missouri is a state. It is a state, right?

This is socially oblivious. You’ll get sent to “effective communication” classes if you try doing this in a high energy corporate environment. You need to be able to make yourself heard or you’ll get steamrolled. The same is true in some social situations. Just use social cues - as long as you can read them and…

Half a horsepower per liter... the 302 is such a pile. Sounds good though.

Probably way more OG than you and you’ve got it wrong. People couldn’t go off to their hideyhole gamer bubble forums and whine about political correctness to each other. If you were on a BBS or later, IRC, you were stuck with whoever was on there regardless of their different views from you. Even the earliest usenet…

I get your argument re: replicating an existing person without their consent. It’s creepy and probably unethical. I don’t think I can see it generalized beyond that though to sex robots. Isn’t one of the arguments for sex work that it services the disfigured, injured, emotionally damaged, etc who otherwise have an…

I should add - Glass Steagall in terms of what was repealed by Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act seem kind of pointless, the FDIC and other provisions are pretty purposeful.

I have never been referred to pejoratively? as a Capitalist. Most of my macroeconomic background and influence is very opposed to ideologically pure free market fundamentalism. However, yes, I am seriously saying the merging of commercial and investment banks did very little in the crisis because that’s what I see in…

Breaking up the banks alone has no near-term or foreseeable long-term effect on inequality, financial instability, or any other macroeconomic goals of the Democratic party. It is a circus act so the public can see blood spilled. If the banks were smaller we would’ve had a ton of medium sized institutions that were too…

Who was the commentor who originally said this? Is there some kind of record of shame?
