STOP! You can’t write the rules down! They must be vague, arbitrary, and specific to every different situation, location, and denomination so that when a girl or woman inevitably puts a foot wrong, the people in charge can say “It’s not our fault you didn’t know your outfit would outrage the old folks/distract the…

Maybe they will be programmed to keep more space, so that one selfish asshole doesn’t fuck up traffic? My sister is a transportation engineer. Despite my Masshole driving habits (no, you fuck yourself!) I have always tried to leave a bit extra cushion in traffic, its amazing how that restores a modicum of flow. Note:…

The bachelors degree is just a sorting mechanism these days.

I’ve owned automatic, anonymous automobiles, and I’ve owned cars with six-speeds and sonorous six-cylinder sources of joy. I can see the benefits of both types of vehicles. Honestly, on my commute, I find myself increasingly aching for the carefree autonomous method. Human beings are, on average, too stupid to pilot…

And a clear driving record? Why? They’re not driving. The car is doing the driving.

I think it will be awesome. The people inside the cars won’t give a fuck about us (as they don't now) but the cars will. Empathy-as-a-service. The future will be incredible.

Why is it terrible? Do you commute more than 15 minutes a day in or around a city of more than 800k? It’s hellish mindbending exercise in loosing faith in mankind. Took 2 hours to go 40 miles on Fri solely because of a rash of fender benders, congestion, and the “I have to get 3 car lengths ahead RIGHT NOW in this…

You should probably either delete the article or change the headline to say that, in fact, you can’t use it.

The Cancellation Line Policies seem legitimate to me. Especially that if you get the tickets you must then proceed into the show...

You guys I am flattered you think I am that shady but no, I’m just dumb, I’ll fix it ;)

A reminder: The President of the United States is pretty much the LEAST important office you vote for. Vote every time you can, for every position that you can, at every level of government that you can. Keep voting year after year, until the people that think that basic health care should be something that you “earn”…

A lot of people can’t even get a bank account at all. But going cash only can be risky and difficult. A prepaid debit card is a good middle area, and it can build your banking reputation (not quite a credit score, but if you have a banking history with lots of overdraws and such, you can absolutely get blacklisted…

I think we know exactly how shitty it’s going to be.

I guess it’s good thing that young, muscular, athletically-gifted people don’t have a lot of sex then.

Is anyone else over the Olympics? I loved it as a child. Now I view it as the monetizing of manufactured nationalism often at the expense of countries who cannot afford to host them.

It probably won’t hurt NBC anyway. They’re probably tape-delaying the gymnastics finals until November Sweeps anyway.

The Olympics are incredibly unsustainable. It won’t be too much longer before the number of host city bids drops to 1 or 2 total. They should really be investigating a permanent location for the games where new infrastructure doesn’t need to be built, then left to rot every 4 years.

Yeah, I’m not really thrilled with the reinforcement of the idea of women’s bodies as an “embodiment of nature” more than men’s bodies. The woman-as-nurturing-earth-mother-figure is not necessarily feminist. When it’s used to suggest that women are fundamentally different from men—more nurturing, more connected to…

I really don’t get why they couldn’t introduce chip+pin at the start. For places that do take chips, I still need a signature and it takes longer than a swipe+signature.

I’m going on 47 and if I turned up pregnant (let alone with my *4th child) I would hurl myself off the nearest cliff.
