Why the fuck would anyone submit themselves to this?

The Mercedes looks about a billion times better.

Nuke energy is awesome, until you layer on the safety, security, and disposal costs necessary to (probably) avoid a disaster. But hey, that’s just more job creation, right?

There’s one in the works. Musk said that ‘maximum plaid’, the only speed faster than ludicrous, will be reserved for the new roadster.

Turkey is different. If you look at a situation without considering historical context or local idiosyncrasies, you’re doing yourself a huge disservice.

Some hissing, and maybe a thrown cup of mountain dew?

People knowingly blow up their own family members in abortion clinic bombings?

I get what you’re saying, but I thing that we’re all grown up enough to know that “honor killing” goes in scare quotes.

No. context matters. Details matter. ‘Honor killing’ implies somebody thought it was defensible, appropriate, and even honorable. That person doesn't get to turn into a simple, forgettable murderer.

And when the democratically elected leader decides that dissent should be punishable by jailtime...

The issue is that what he may find funny can stem from unconscious bias. He can relate to jokes that speak to a white, male existence.

Pardon the dumb question, but does the pilot / crew chief have the ability to jettison a load while in the air? Like if it’s getting unstable and putting the helicopter at risk?

So much this. It’s like “Okay, you want to fight for your country? You can be a barrel-bomber, or a suicide bomber. Take your pick!”

🙄 Pretty sure the word ‘toss’ wasn’t in the design brief.

If those dividers didn't angle all the way to the ground, it seems like the car wouldn't have launched like that.

The kids were sweet, and I knew how to elicit and identify whatever topic would make their voice speed up when they talked about it.

4 years is an insanely short run. Especially for a car that received such rave reviews. Seems hard to believe.

This is a literal knockoff of a European (I want to say Irish?) commercial from like 10 years ago. Fucking ad agencies.

Yeah, I admittedly don’t know as much about Turkish history as I should, and my perspective is ethnocentric. I was under the impression that whenever things got too autocratic, the military coups acted as a bit of a ‘reset button’. Obviously a gross oversimplification. I’m sure Turkey’s fierce secularism has caused…

Seemed like it was working okay until they got rid of the secularism part
