Sorry, it was a rhetorical question. Let me be more direct: I think you’re wrong that it’s our job to make racists feel bad, and that they’ll thus stop being racist. Do you think, on balance, that this Airbnb hostess is going to be more or less racist after this? Do you think other racists will see what happened to…

Is it? Or is it our job to end racism, and is being awful to racists the most effective means of achieving that goal?

No, thanks, I’ll keep my high speed off-road, where mostly what I hit is trees.

I don’t know a lot about racing, but this track seems too wet and too narrow to put this many cars on; I’m amazed this doesn’t happen every single race.

Absolutely: exercise is an excellent stress-reliever! But that can be avoided entirely if you don’t pack your day so full you don’t have time to work out: if you schedule well, you won’t be stressed, so you won’t HAVE to work out to relieve it, but you’ll be ABLE to work out because you have time.

Yeah, I’m not sure where you’re going with that, but those are two of the least-sensical, most-irrational articles I’ve ever attempted to read.

This seems like it’d take at least as long as the shower, and make me carry and throw away more stuff. If this works for you, by all means go for it, but it seems useful to me only in circumstances in which NO shower is available.

I just don’t understand what it is if it’s not risk-related. “Racism”, people say, but that presumes that dozens or hundreds of people at multiple different companies are all identifying minority neighborhoods and then setting higher premiums in those areas because they don’t like minorities, and no one at those…

I just don’t understand. What’s it do, all that canvas piled up there? It’d be so weird, like “being inside” even though you’re in your car. In all my days, I’ve never seen such a thing.

That’s too bad, because I feel as though Jezebel has the potential to be a powerful force for equality, in particular for feminism, but that potential is blunted by repeating the mistakes of the past, only in reverse.

Nice work, David! 40mph on surface roads in a Jeep is the way to see the world, in my experience. (“I guess I’ll take this dirt road, then, because...I can go exactly as fast on it.”)

It drives me crazy. 99 percent of the time I’m in my Jeep, I’m alone, with minimal cargo. I used to drive a sedan, solo, and looking at those 3 empty seats always made me think “isn’t 3/4 of this car useless?”

Well, this got weirdly sexist in a hurry. Just like women, men are individuals, not members of their gender. In the same way that it wouldn’t be okay to say “Puerto Ricans, you need to start picking up the slack!”, this isn’t cool. I mean, on a scale of one-to-slavery it’s about a 0.5, but still, prejudice is…

As I recall from some years ago now, disposing of a vehicle that won’t pass MOT is somewhat expensive, so the nearly-dead car market in the UK is very healthy, as someone would rather get a couple hundred quid than pay it.

“Go. Roll. Roll it. No, nono, don’t, yeah.”

Still want to daily-drive an Ultra 4 rig. That’s the direction my Jeep is headed, but not nearly quickly enough. Anyone have a spare hundred grand?

Indeed! That’s exactly my point: racism isn’t about party affiliation, and whatever degree it tracks with party affiliation likely is incidental to other, more closely-coupled, demographics, like age, socioeconomics, gender, etc.

There’s nothing really surprising about any of it: this is how humans do things. As absurd…

As sad as it is that 42 percent of Republicans think black people are lazier than white people, can we stop for a moment and talk about the staggering 24 percent of Democrats who think the same thing?

You can absolutely do it this way; you’ve always been able to, with virtually any version of Windows. It’s far more advisable, though, from a tidiness standpoint to just backup your data, wipe your drive, and start over from scratch. When you’re in a hurry, though, you can absolutely swap anything out from under an…

It’s weird how what they’re doing for a one-off nostalgia trip is my daily driving experience: take a 90s Jeep and try to make it new, but better.
