I like it.

I’m just gonna put this here...

funny that you say that, it still amazes me that people take pictures on their phones during wedding ceremonies. just...why? what are you going to do with that image of the back of the bride and groom with 3 strangers heads in the picture? the bride and groom don’t want it!

Same reason people record entire concerts on their phones, they’re assholes.

I’m imagining them as snooty old people with furs and monocles, ready to rumble, and I’m very much enjoying it. Please don’t correct me.

On a similar subject, why do people feel compelled to take photos of really famous art? I went to Versailles and whole tour buses spent their visit looking at everything through their cell phones and iPads. It’s famous art, there are books with high quality images in it! The Internet has pictures! You’re missing the…

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but my first trip to the local art museum was at age 11. Mom sat me down and gave me a lecture about not touching the art, which I rolled my eyes through because obviously!

I walked around an exhibition with my mother, it was modernist oil paintings, lots of layers and texture and there was a 13 year old boy with his mother and he whispered “I just really want to touch it, I won’t but I really want to”, I just thought “I feel ya bro”. Hands in pockets at all times.

Literal shit is more postmodern than modern, actually, but you’re still not allowed to touch it.

I have a TINY bit of sympathy for crossword lady.

In a similar but unrelated note, I now bump into men who walk right into my path instead of moving to the side as we pass on narrow sidewalks.

And newfoundlanders are a class apart from the rest save perhaps Quebecers living along the north shore of the st lawrence

If you’re on a highway, just know that those roads are built such that even cars without traction can make the turns (just from the embankment) at the posted speed limit.

So while driving 10 or 15 below is your choice, don’t do it on the left lane because It’s fucking annoying getting stuck behind clueless people.

Regarding this:

Not to nitpick, but engine breaking CAN and SHOULD be used in snow whether you are in an automatic or manual. All cars have the ability to engine brake, (the 3-2-1 selectors behind D in automatics). Keeping the engine in 3 when driving at up to 40-45mph is good because it controls tire speed relative to the asphalt…

That sounds... eerily similar to my father's instructions. Almost word-for-word. Say, did your dad go away on "business" a lot too?

Good shit. I always remember the very first winter-driving lesson I got from my dad. He took me out to an iced-over parking lot and had me try to run around on it, telling me to turn or stop here and there. It resulted in my falling down and flailing around like a jackass.

No it doesn't. You may have completely ignored them to the point of forgetting that they were there but most cars have that little letter D next to the gearshift and then if you look below them: 4, 3, and even 2!
