Look through all the comments. You are in the victim blaming minority.

It doesn't matter if she said NO before being asked. Someone asked, and she said NO. That is clearly not consentual at that point, and has passed into rape.

FFS! There was a NO. It doesn't matter whether it referenced the act of sex, or the fact that it was happening in public. It doesn't matter if she had kissed him or if she followed him under her own power. There was a NO. That makes it NON-consentual. This is a rare case where the NO was actually captured on…

Seriously? You're going to pretend like it's not that big of a deal is a man spits on a woman in public just for not giving in to his advances? That's bullshit. There is no context or excuse that makes that acceptable. If you have to defend the spitter in order to maintain your argument about this concert story,…

I really like the 5 as well. I've driven them a few times in the last couple of years. THe only thing that keeps me from owning one is the fact that I can't get the driver's seat far enough away from the pedals. The seat track just doesn't go back far enough for me. Granted, I also find the Honda Goldwing to be…

There is no way to get "consumer-grade" hardware on a commercial plane. It cannot happen with the way the FAA manages CFR 14 (Federal Aviation Regulations). Even simple items have to go through a rigorous, time consuming, and expensive certification process (ongoing, not just once). For example, the equivalent of an…

A friend used to have a Buick Park Ave where the horn would honk continuously if the steering wheel was tilted up. We would sit at traffic lights, horn blaring, and act like nothing was going on. Hilarious to us in high school.

"they are usually sanitary". I like those odds.

Two of the three fuselages were destined for Southwest Airlines. Due to different customer configurations, there is little possibility of shuffling line positions to make up for the loss. Basically they have to build two new fuselages, which will delay the delivery schedule by a couple of months.

Agreed. In many foreign markets, you can still buy a new small truck with manual steering. A tiny light car like this doesn't need it. A good manual rack is light, has excellent fingertip feedback, basically bulletproof, cheap, etc. SO many pros, not many cons in this situation.

Same goes for airplanes. It is extremely rare to find a black or dark airplane because a black plane sitting on a black tarmac in PHX on a 114F day is going to be basically impossible to keep comfortable even with ground air or APU power (which consumes expensive fuel).
The famous planes that are black (SR71, F-117,…

Oh, where to start.

I used to work with a guy (maybe 50 years old) who always bought Dodge trucks (a few years ago). His dad used to work at a Dodge component supplier and he felt that he "owed" it to Dodge to buy their trucks, regardless of problems, price, etc. Some people are not rational buyers and will cut off their own nose to…

Exactly. If you drive away in a car, the dealer has made money off of you. They will not ever make a deal where they lose money. All you accomplish with haggling is how much profit they make off of you.

+1 for Carmax.

+1 for Carmax.

"Get mad at the shitty buyers who make it a tough marketplace."

Your comment has (at this time) 37 "stars". The three salespeople who rebutted you and defended their sales tactics have a grand total of (at this time) zero. There you go...

There is still a way to pay a fair set price for a car. Carmax. Most people think of them for used cars only, but they actually also sell new cars. It's kind of weird, because one store in the nation will have all the new Camrys. Another store will have all the new Pathfinders, etc.
