The hope of finding something written by either Rob or Tom, really is the only reason to stop by here anymore. Otherwise, it’s just sad.
Was probably constructed with the influence of a crack pipe.
I guess if you’re a Yugo cultist, this might be the nicest one you’ll find. But if you’re a Yugo cultist, maybe you don’t want the nicest one, because you’re into pain but you can’t afford an actual Italian car, so you go for something Italian-adjacent.
Previas are Jalop catnip. This gonna be a landslide NP win.
Just the headline had me thinking “Is this a joke??”
I wish it wasn’t, but it is an NP. Sadly.
(+1). I was just going to say that: the world needs more door carpeting.
I will be off for the next two days and hence there will be no NPOND on Thursday or Friday.

I think that’s what the article is missing. The message is what really matters here, not the source. If people weren’t allowed to use historical inspiration for commercial purposes, our media would be pretty boring and a lot of relevant and effective messages would be lost.

I take issue with the idea that if a white woman says something negative about a WOC it’s automatically racist.

And so is reducing everything to someone’s…
NP - If someone is in an occupation that actually requires such a vehicle, then this is a beaut. If you plan to drive it around town to get attention, then no, you’re an asshole.
Oh man this brings back memories.
Honestly I found this documentary too sad to be entertaining. Netflix is selling it as some sort of bonkers wacky adventure with colorful characters and crazy twists, but it’s really just a depressing glimpse into the lives of people with unaddressed issues of abuse/abusers, poverty, and drug addiction.
@5am PST, there are already 87 persons voting in this thing?!
Fuck off with the transphobia
