As someone who suffers from various allergies, I’ll try to be as diplomatic as possible here. That said...

The point in my life where I feel so old I have absolutely no idea who this is someone change my bedpan please.

NERD FIGHT!

I still think that the absolute pinnacle of the inexpensive compact car was the 1990 to 1991 Honda Civic hatchback.

No, let it burn, get a new one with insurance payout.

So the Mercedes CPO program doesn’t even bother looking at active recalls? This makes me wonder if they actually look at anything as part of their certification process.

Trans girls aren't young men.
