Most EV owners are peak assholes themselves from experience regardless.  Not saying it’s right that he did it.  I award him two stars for how clever it was though.

I take strong exception to the author’s lumping HEB in with these “affluent,” exclusionary grocery chains.
HEB’s stores, while certainly clean, well laid out and stocked with a variety of quality merchandise, is hardly exclusive or overpriced. The HEB stores in my city frequently undercut even Wal-Mart’s prices, and…

It’s almost as if companies that look at meeting short-term goals that are tied to executive bonuses find themselves in a hard spot when they’re not looking at the long-term future and health of the company instead.

In today’s market given condition and the open top with some OBO activity it’s probably NP. On the other hand this is what a Cutlass should look like...

ND Once again we are presented with a car that’s rare, well kept and has low mileage; but nobody gives a flying flick for it. These were forgettable in the 90s, why would it be collectible now?

Seems like a similar playbook used by inkjet and laser printer manufacturers. Ever noticed there is a sliding scale for the cost of the cartridges? The cheapest printers (sub $50) have expensive cartridges that only last 5 minutes while the more expensive printers still have expensive cartridges but they last way…

The Gates Foundation and other anti-Malaria groups have HALVED the annual death-toll from Malaria since 2000. These groups are currently saving about 400,000 people a year and climbing.

Yep. It’s a hit piece just to be a hit piece. The Gates Foundation has been investing a _lot_ of money into things that have the potential to improve quality of life for a lot of people. Drinking water, electric power, all sorts of things.

Yeah, not knowing what the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is, is not something to brag about. It’s one of the best charities in the world. They’ve done more the near eradication of malaria than any government or charity in the world.

This. Whatever he’s like personally, his foundation - which, Jesus, Jezebel, do some research before you casually dismiss the Gates Foundation - has done an incredible amount to transform living conditions in the developing world.

Is there really a need to shit on Bill Gates? I’ve seen enough of it from right wing sources and now this one too?

It may be because I’m super-old, but one of the first things I remember about the Gates Foundation after it formed was all the mosquito netting it provided to countries in Africa and its dedication to family planning. This isn’t just another Bezos, folks, even if you do not like the man.

Here’s an idea: Come out on stage, apologize for threatening to ruin many people’s Saturday night viewing experience, introduce Poehler and\or Fey (fuck it, even Fallon) and then leave. Go design some jet-powered sporks or infrared dentures or something. 

Lots of workplaces mandate camera usage during meetings (and then fill days with hours long meetings). I once got into a huge argument with a friend about it because I finally told my workplace that I didn’t care what their preference was, I was no longer using mine, and she apparently requires camera usage with her…

This one seems a little lower-stakes than others. Bathtub is a weird choice, but if he was truly in pain and that’s what relieves it, then I get it. 90% of us would choose to power through the pain when working, but that’s just a reflection on unrealistic standards for productivity when working at home. But this isn’t…

Yes to the last part. Re-sellers usually stake out shops to grab the nicer stuff, like name brands or the item is in better condition, and then sell it for 10x is worth. The people who deserve nice things but can’t afford them, or who maybe would like to dress their kids in something not off-brand AND a resell item,…

Kyle: “It can’t be reasoned with, it can’t be bargained with. It doesn’t feel pity of remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until you are dead.”

I wonder if the stolen data includes internal investigations on police crimes? That would make it extra-imperative for the cops to keep it under wraps. If so, I hope it gets released anyway.

Isn’t this the same shit bird who advised Bill Clinton to go back to Arkansas during the 1992 presidential campaign to oversee the execution of Ricky Ray, the guy who had an IQ of a 4 year old and helped the prison staff find a vein for his lethal injection and wanted to save his dessert for after his execution?

Warren is the most insufferable, annoying dude I’ve seen on YouTube. I couldn’t get 10 minutes through the video without suffering an eye-rolling induced injury.
