I totally agree. It’s simple, you’re a guest in their country, so act like it and be respectful of their rules, regulations, and norms of conduct. This shouldn’t even be a story, and I would hope the military brass would reiterate that message loudly and clearly to their subordinates. They probably won’t, and then…

Nice article, but seeing this early on left me miffed...

One time I went through a lost bag situation and was told that airlines aren’t liable for anything valuable like computers or electronics in checked baggage. I just checked this out today to double-check, and here’s Delta’s take:

This video and the firefighters one made me lol at work. I had to shut that shit down real quickly and save it for later. I don’t even have GTA V...but I’m going to fix that tonight.

Imagine how surly we’ll be at 40! I can’t wait. =p

My step-mom had this generation Olds Cutlass (maybe?) that was burgundy with an equally red interior. I thought this car was the bees knees and so fawwwwncy at the time. I remember the smell, and I really remember that font(?) for the numbers on the displays! Ohhhhh buddy, the feels are strong here.

I’m going to be that guy and say we need to institute more rigorous driver’s ed courses like <insert European country here>. Too many people don’t recognize driving as being the primary activity you should be engaging in while behind the wheel, and it’s fucking insane to me. People doing their makeup, checking their…

Did the uncle survive? That’s so sad. =(

What about the people operating the bulldozers? Oh, right...buried too. Sad.

While technically true, it’s just that it’s the closest thing that also will grab attention and clicks. Honestly, I’ve been present when certain select-fire weapons are spewing lead down range, and it’s not that far off from just burst fires. I’m a firearms enthusiast and I don’t get offended by these kind of…

This greatly depends on the vehicle you want to buy. If you’re trying to buy a limited production run vehicle, all bets are off. Ask me how I know! I mean why would someone in Colorado would work in a spiral pattern outward to get this car and would finally close a deal on one in Chicago? They lie, they sell it…

My apologies. Sure, those people are idiots, but generally regarded as such by everyone involved. Don’t you think you’re kind of doing a similar thing though because you’re not giving credit to minorities to be smart enough to actually see this kind of patronizing bullshit when it’s happening? They don’t need…

It was quite benign really because I didn’t think it was stated clearly enough. I thought (rightly based on the comments) people might get the idea that every Mexican-American is OK with stereotyped caricatures of their culture just because this one Mexican-American guy says that most of his friends and family don’t…

Yeah, because only people of the same race should discuss these things. I guess white abolitionists had no business trying to end slavery either. White anti-apartheid activists should have kept to themselves. Oh, and I guess non-Jews shouldn’t have spoken out about the Holocaust!

it doesn’t really bother most Mexican-Americans I know.

Never said that. It means everything for this specific person! However, it doesn’t mean that every other person of this identity shares that opinion. It’s really quite simple.

I was just going to say this. I grew up in Metro D and lived in Detroit while I went to WSU and for a bit after until I moved to Denver. When that study came out it was literally the least surprising study as far as I was concerned. The racist shit I heard growing up in Troy from kids who would scoff when I’d want…

Agreed. I will do a jig on the grave of the traditional dealership model when it inevitably dies in the agonizing and terrible death it deserves. It’s the biggest racket in the auto industry, and the only reason they’re still allowed to get away with their shit is because of the money they dump into lobbying.

Ooohhh!!! Que astuto de ti! Desafortunadamente no recuerdo como hacer accent grave na mi teclado (Apple). Oh, e tambem, falo portugues muuuuuito melhor do que eu falo espanol. Muitos vezes eh um tipo do “portanol” ou espanlolbastardizado. Desculpe!

I know it seems so simple, but really, the easiest way I’ve found to avoid sickness is to just wash my hands and not touch my eyes, ears, and nose at all unless I’m doing so with cleaned hands.
