An anecdote is not data, but I’ve seen a few fourth gens that suggested some...questionable build quality. A buddy of mine’s parents bought one as an anniversary present to themselves. Convertible, all options—I think maybe a Cobra edition, too? I took a ride in it and liked it well enough. They’d had it for two days,…

I agree with you about the Viper and its coolness and unnecessariness, but the unimpressive mainstream sedans and economy cars saved that company. Their current strategy of making 73 ever-so-slightly different variations of the same two muscle cars is probably not good for the long term.

I have no strong opinion on the Mustang in general, from its birth to the seemingly 700 different variants available now. I’ve never hated it, although being a kid when they changed to fox bodies, I was disappointed to see them basically look like K-cars. But even then, I wasn’t hearbroken. So I think I’m as close to…

That was my guess. There’s a brief shot in the commercial of Clarke’s character in the hospital. So I just assumed it was another “I have cancer now and have given up, but cute boy and Santa-Jesus have taught me the true meaning of buying presents, and then I died anyway, but like, totally heroic and happy instead of…

Does anyone really need Rancic or the E! Whatever Awards?  I kept seeing commercials and wondering why Gwen Stefani was getting an award for anything.  Wasn’t her last album some Christmas thing in 2017?  I don’t understand what the purpose of this show was supposed to be.

Mayuck, while I’m sure your brother is not a complete idiot—he did get into college, after all—

Elon Musk needs to have his fingers broken so he can’t tweet as a general rule. Maybe a ball gag too for good measure.

Enemy = relatives who didn’t bring nice enough gifts?

That is somehow both dumber than I imagined, yet somehow completely unsurprising.

No real details on the news link, so I’m morbidly curious. WTF did they do? Attach boxes of blue or pink glitter to the front of Claymore mines?

So I guess the ghost of Nancy Reagan is haunting Zuck?

I feel like it might be a symptom of being an asshole.

I’d be curious to know if this training was vetted by anyone in legal or human resources.  (I suspect the answer is “yes,” which makes it even worse.)

I grew up in the Youngstown area, and I wonder if part of Lordstown’s problem is the same problem that they had with so many shuttered steel mills: They were just so. out. of date. Yeah, there were big ass buildings just sitting there idle, but as is, they were unsuited for work on anything remotely modern. Lordstown…

To be fair, most of the business deals that the current crop of Trumps try to do fail, so it’s almost like not doing them at all.

They should just inscribe a memorial to Till on every Confederate monument--ideally right in the middle of the chest if they’re figurative statues.  Then stop by every morning to collect the bodies of racists whose pea brains shut down when confronted with how to proceed.

If your hot take is that a 15-year-old with an “automatic weapon” was found dead is “That punk should have taken some personal responsibility,” then I hardly know where to start. Have you met 15-year-olds? They’re not the best decision makers...because they’re children. Add poverty, gangs, and dangerous neighborhoods…

But she’s THE KWEEN!  I mean, Queen of Transphobia, Racism, Assault, and the Greater Population of Garbage People.  Actually, given that, I’m kind of surprised she’s not playing the Super Bowl halftime.  The racism and assault would provide a nice overlap between her and the NFL.

Yup.  A coworker recently took a ride in my 2017 GTI, and she said it made her Mazda3 feel like a chintzy piece of crap.  Said coworker was even sadder when she realized that the base model GTI was pretty damn close in price.

So I don’t know your full situation, but I also use medical weed in MA, and the dispensaries I go to carry their products in almost every conceivable form, including edibles, capsules, tinctures, pre-rolled joints, and even suppositories(!). If you’re getting some benefits from medical use, you should be able to get…
