It wasn’t so much staged as it was repeated with a second, larger flag which became the iconic photo later used as the source for the Marine Corps Memorial at Arlington.

I interviewed with Riot a couple years back for a position in accounting/finance. They told me they routinely worked 60 hours a week but had a “work hard, play hard” attitude, which is basically just shitty workplace code for “you’re gonna regret this when you’re hating your life in two months.”

As a one-time linguistics major, grammar peeving seems so silly. So many people seem to immediately react badly to any non-standard or non-literary usage, but I’m like, “What a trivial thing to get upset at.” And why does it impact so badly on so many people when they hear some novel usage — shouldn’t we get excited…

Allow themselves?

I have to say i hate the trend of small displacement turbocharged petrol engines in economy cars. Don’t get me wrong, modern turbo tech is a marvel in engine management, and has every right to be in a hot hatch or other performance applications, but because of all the complexity, their presence defeats the concept of…

Pumping fake engine noise into the cabin through the speakers.

PADDLE SHIFTERS. At least for cars that have no need for them. I get it in a performance car, but your Camry isn’t one, no matter how “grounded to the ground” it may be.

Did anyone say piped-in engine noises yet?

Mini-SUVs/CUVs. Glorified and lifted FWD wagons that are 99% likely to never go off-road...and probably aren’t that capable when they do go onto rougher terrain. They’re playing off of buyers’ insecurities about safety and that a bigger vehicle = higher safety or needing a vehicle for northern snow when you really…

Fastback looks on sedans. It cuts into rear headroom so much and makes trunk openings a joke. It looks good, but ruins the functionality of them.

This shit right here. At least 90% of cars these days have these stupid cut-off wheel arches.
