Oh cool so they hired a literal weeaboo. Whose brilliant idea was this again?

Damn, and here I thought I was the one winning the immaturity lottery with the relationships I’ve had. He was going through a lot and rather than try to be perceptive, supportive, or compassionate she decided to make up some bullshit test.

Eh, I would have gone for something with a collar, personally.

You’d really think so, but honestly the most fucked up shit happens because of people’s assumptions that it - whatever “it” happens to be - just can’t be. My best friend and ex lost her fucking mind and eventually culminated in her sexually assaulting someone, all because the abusive environment (she’s blind) she’s…

You’re not wrong at all. He’s getting too caught up in this emotionally and is making emotionally-driven decisions. This chick clearly has herself under his skin and you can tell this isn’t entirely level just from that.

Now that I’d be tempted to agree with if I hadn’t personally come unglued whenever this happened to me. Hell, I was emotionally violated by the last one to the nth possible degree and as a result I *still* can’t tell the story perfectly - nor even well - nearly seven months later. I tend to just be really quiet about…

I mean, have *you* met any of those people face to face? For one they deliberately target the mentally ill, and for another they really are that kind of unreal scary.

Unlives.

Because people decided to make politics out of that within the last, oh, 7-10 years ago at least.

I mean, crazy happened to me thrice. Could be in the process of happening to me again two times over but at least one of them is pro-active about seeking mental health care to the best of their ability. I’ve picked up my fair share of stalkers over time who I wasn’t even in a relationship with, too.

I got roughly 55 out of a broken Storm and credit the parts and lubes. Spark plugs are simply better now and were then when I owned it. Even chassis lubes are better.

Entertaining a notion for a moment but what can be done if a news network DOES just start telling all lies? Seems to me we’ve been emboldened past the punditry stage as this point and they’ve all maneuvered into either false headlines, leading articles with the facts only at the bottom, or outright falsehoods now here…

It’s what happens when you take the same fundamental engineering and apply modern lubricants and parts to it. It’s as though in the intervening years everyone forgot how to engineer for that kind of fuel economy and then did a lot of hand wringing about how impossible it was.

Apparently this was intentional and it was expected that the same buyers would have upgraded by then. Either that, or the designer just wanted to keep the spirit of the car alive, which is my pet theory seeing as you see elements of the design all the way until the last Saturn sports.  

This joke is just too much for anyone in the know.

Correction: Storms were mostly their own thing.

Ah yes, my first car: a 1990 Geo Storm.

That was actually about as condensed as I could make it. Any kind of tl;Dr I could make would just be maybe nearly any of the paragraphs. Basically our Rick is on the Hero’s Journey - also the primary formula for every episode - and his choices make him less flawed and stop him from being a total monster.

I think the joke was that within the Central Finite Curve Jerry is a multiversal constant and thrives in a day care setting.

I’m pretty sure more of the issue is that it got that serious to begin with. People came for fun and what they got was a bad time and a headache. Not cool.
