Is Brock a real name?? Honestly, I can’t fathom parents naming their little newborn baby “BROCK.”

You’re taking it too literally. It’s a figure of speech—an expression of shock and disgust. I don’t actually find it difficult to believe because I’m deeply cynical and deal with prejudice frequently enough—hence my solidarity.

Thanks for pointing that out...?

I can’t believe people would fat shame you at the gym when you were starting out. People are so fucking stupid.

The difference between the Bible and academic textbooks is that the latter is actually written in a way to try and convince/teach the subject matter to the reader. The former is just a collection of letters, stories and rules.

Plenty of people (including myself) drive until the fuel level indicator hits “E”, which usually means there are 2 gallons remaining in the tank. We do this out of laziness—the longer we wait, the fewer times we’re pumping gas.

“Let some comments pass?” And which are the comments that you shouldn’t let pass? I’m curious to know where you draw the line and refuse to be denigrated or mocked.

PirateRadio’s your typical crass white guy who especially doesn’t give a shit about Asian people. There is zero point for anyone to respond to him expecting any kind of mature, reasonable response.

Haha I like how you hedged it with “I probably have more of an education...”

I remember that game had a creepy vibe to it, and it was terribly difficult to boot. I feel like there were areas early on in the game where if you couldn’t navigate through some obstacles, your character would die right before your eyes, which was terrifying as a kid. But maybe I’m not remembering it accurately...

You fool, they protect all Americans’ civil liberties, hence their name. They are not the enemy and for a lot of us minorities they’re the most powerful friend we have.

No, I think the issue at hand is the poor method of treating this person who not only managed his office affairs, but also his home affairs based on what Musk’s ex-wife wrote—she wasn’t given the chance to make her case.

Just to balance out your anecdotal data, my Elantra’s going on 170k miles and 10 years, no problems. I always try to drive above 80mph on highways, and I’ve taken this car into all sorts of environments. It’s a boring, ugly and sluggish car, but I’ve never had reason to complain about its reliability.

I’ve seen a cop tailgating a car in the leftmost lane for longer than a mile, with the cop going so far as to turn on their lights with no reaction until a good few seconds later. And yet they don’t pull them over!

It’s gotten to the point where I can’t help but to be a petty bitch. As I pass these cars, I squirt them with my windshield washer.

I have never driven in an area where people didn’t immediately make their way to the leftmost lane as soon as they got on the highway, regardless of traffic density. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve been in situations where I slid right through traffic because everyone was in the leftmost lane in a 4-lane…

Come on, that thing is so bulky it looks about as svelte as putting a flashlight in your pocket. At least with key rings the keys spread out diagonally and take up less stacking height, since they’re not actually stacking.

Ignore it (or at least don’t reward it): If they talk to you in the baby voice, act like you don’t hear them. Seriously. Or, if they ask you to do something or answer a question, wait for them to ask you again in a normal voice. When they do, immediately respond so they learn.

“No one likes you” really means “no one whose opinion matters likes you.” I guess the Electoral College would beg to differ, but fuck the Electoral College.

Samurai Gourmet kind of had a similar effect on me too. I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone b/c at face value it’s pretty boring and basic, but after watching an episode I would feel pretty happy and peaceful. I don’t know if it’s just the actor, but that guy just makes eating look so satisfying.
