I don’t feel like this is a hot take at all. It’s a reasonable opinion.

Coming in with the hot take that’s going to piss a lot of people off, but fuck it -

Thus, I will make this argument upfront: The only way for Brooklyn Nine-Nine to make any sort of coherent narrative sense is for its characters to quit their jobs as cops and become social workers before the show ends.

This makes you the opposite of cynical.

Maybe I’m cynical, but I have trouble believing that we, as a society, can function without any sort of policing whatsoever. If the ultimate answer is that caring about serving your community effectively and justly means resigning from serving as a police officer, doesn’t that just mean that the only police officers…

The basic idea here is that the show is about good people, and we want to see them do good things. I’d like to think that being a good person and an American cop aren’t mutually exclusive.

Yeah, your opinion might not be too popular around here but honestly, Tracy’s next door neighbors have good reason to be fed up with that crap. Having a stash of 10+ cars that look like they should be in the junk yard is something you can do when you live out in the sticks where no one cares what your driveway looks…

Just bear in mind, fellow readers, that if David Tracy has a fire sale, the operative word is, “Fire” and not, “Sale”

Buy a cheap shed, push each vehicle into it for one day every two weeks.

Good for them. I’d hate to live next to a junkyard too.

So what I’m hearing is that you can’t stop...

Right?? There’s a real body-horror dimension to Bugsnax that I think most people are sleeping on. It’s disturbing.

And cute. Unspeakably cute.

Of course the people who made Octodad would also have a great theme song for their next game. I don't know what it is, but I'll be there

This is the most disturbing horror game I’ve ever seen.

I meant to say they’re largely FWD in Europe, but forgot that part.  US ones are RWD. 

Still a CVT. No bueno.

Thank you for clarifying that these were gatherings for radio enthusiasts, and not pork festivals celebrating sandwich meats.

I don’t know how many they sell globally of each layout, but it’s not available as FWD in the US.

One of my side hustles is selling at hamfests (ham radio and electronics swap meets) so I own a Ram C/V for hauling stuff. Last year, I got stuck in the muddy parking lot of the Central Florida Fairgrounds at the Orlando Hamcation hamfest.

So an AWD van is very appealing. I don’t care if it has a fancy grill and rims…

Meh, it’s just an appearance package to make your Transit look more butch, for people who think having a van with an angry face will get them more respect on the jobsite than one with a normal face. It’s just a bunch of black plastic.
