I don’t deny that Jordan Peterson is a steaming bag of crap, but the title “King of Incels” is an EXTREMELY competitive category. Let’s not award it so lightly.

I live in Tampa where taxpayers were on the shit end of funding a new Football stadium. I hate football and don’t give two craps about it yet I had to pay for it so a bunch of rich people could have their big boy playground?
but a better educated society is a such a sin?...GTFOH with that nonsense

Nice! It would be very similar to the format of Six Feet Under where the funeral services/family/circumstances served as a plot device for every episode arc. I love that idea!

I think if the real number is 79% of iPhone users wouldn’t consider a new vehicle without Carplay is a high number.   I have an iPhone and it would be on my list of required features, but I would be willing to be flexible if the Price Is Right.

CA’s Salton Sea has enough lithium to supply 40% of the worlds needs right now, it just needs an efficient extraction method...

No one is bringing up the fact that there is going to be a booming market in lithium recycling as demand increases.  Once the supply gets large enough a lot of the lithium used in car batteries will come from retired car batteries.  Honestly this argument is dumb.

Well sourced and reasoned.  But the OP is too entrenched in their view to consider evidence contrary to their supposition.  But I appreciate it and 100% agree.

To be clear, I meant those two things independently like saying “those with apples and/or oranges” not like “those with apples and the apple carts that go along with them.”

You have to take taxes into account there before saying that so broadly, though.  

If you live in a snowy climate: getting a second set of wheels and having dedicated snow tires and summer tires. There are not many things more relieving than being able to drive through blizzard conditions without the anxiety of your car slipping all over the road.

Well, Wheaton did coin this famous Penny Arcade bit:

“Who cares if there’s cops? They’re not going to do anything anyway, they’re scared.’”

Shit, Ron DeSantis younger than me?!

I’m moving back there in a couple months. Didn’t have a car when I lived there before, and am already dreading having to drive anywhere given the shitshow infrastructure, bizarre driving customs, and inexplicable traffic patterns. At least I’ll have a remote gig, so no commute.

Oh you’re not exaggerating that much. And you’re leaving out 6-way intersections, higher-than-average number of one-way roads, people taking the infamous “Pittsburgh left” and random tire-popping potholes.

Ironically, it’s very funny that Zaslav wants to kill the mid-budget DC streaming projects when Disney is in the middle of what appears to be a very successful pivot to doing exactly that to fill gaps between their major MCU theatrical releases.

It’s not that hard to tell a good Superman story. He’s a good guy who stands up to bullies. That’s the gratification the audience gets. The stakes come from the way sometimes the bad guys’ schemes are so villainous that Superman may not be able to overcome them. The dramatic growth comes from the fact that Superman…

Add medical insurance companies, and you’ve got yourself the trifecta of shitty assholery.

Where would America have been in the 20th century without the Interstate making the economy hum? This charging network for the 21st century is completely equivalent—the system doesn’t work, doesn’t reach the synergism that it should, unless the network stretches coast-to-coast. So yes, I will call these tax dollars…

It’s not an investment. It’s gambling. Gambling is a form of entertainment.

When the jackpot gets big enough to be in the news, I buy tickets. For me, it’s worth a few bucks to have the chance to win, and to dream about what you’d do with the winnings.  Dreaming about $1000 isn’t worth a dollar to me.  I don’t dream…
