So instead, I’ll recommend the beautiful 2005 Chevy Blazer ZR2 shown above. It’s for sale on Facebook Marketplace right there in Asheville for $6,200,

As long as there isn’t a toilet full of bees in this one. 

*everything* that Picard does to her is emotionally manipulative and abusive. To your point, they could have chosen anyone and modified them to look Bajoran, Picard specifically targets and grooms her because of her past knowing that she wants to succeed and please him. At least, that’s how I’ve always read the…

They’ve dealt with addiction issues before in Trek, but this is just tropey nonsense bullshit aimed at looking edgy. 

What new technology? It’s a battery pack on wheels that everyone is making now. 

But isn’t that the exact problem that they’re facing? If I want upmarket from Ford, shouldn’t I be buying Lincoln? 

I mean, that’s fine, but you can buy a brand new loaded Edge for that price, or a well equipped Explorer, or a fully loaded Escape (which looks close to the same size) for like 15k less than it. Not mention if I wanted a Mustang you can buy a GT for less than that as well. 

I’ve only tepidly looked at the Mach-E so color me surprised to see that it starts at $45k, who is this car supposed to be for? Tesla is supposed to be an upmarket maker compared to Ford, why is Ford trying to compete in the Model Y price point? 

You mean you didn't enjoy the captain and senior staff of a starship psychologically torturing a low ranking member of their crew and sending her on a suicide mission because she was viewed as expendable because she made a mistake at the academy?

Robert Rodriguez was on an episode of Jon Favreau’s Chef Show, so there is at least a little connection there. 

A weirdly present yet rarely addressed aspect of Picard is this underlying realization that our beloved hero can be a bit of a jerk,

No longer hiding them away, she’s once again partaking in excessive amounts of drugs and alcohol, and reveling in the fact; when needed on La Sirena’s bridge, she stumbles her way to her seat, vape in one hand, bottle of booze in the other.

I pretty much learned to drive in a green GMC Caballero with a 350 swap thank you very much. 

maybe t-rexs are the solution to our 30-50 feral hog problem

Just drive slowly and maintain your tires. There aren’t any tricks that any normal person is going to pull off while driving in the snow. Also, the stop watch test in this is just dumb.

I’d like to watch something on one screen and scroll twitter on the other. 

Didn’t Harrison Ford just waffle on his commitment to this yesterday?

Yes! I’ve been saying this. Temple of Doom, in retrospect, is really fucking bad.

taking one less transatlantic flight a year is twice as impactful

This is stupid.
