This is why “I’m hella loyal to my friends and family!” always scans as “I’m not very principled” to me. In real world practice, it’s quite difficult to be both.

“but I’m the head editor for a content writing agency in real life”

“Gun control is useless. If a would-be criminal really wants a gun, they’ll just break the window on my sedan.”

Can it just be Colm Feore (back from the dead I guess?) I would watch that.

“Crashing head on” only describes the direction of the magnitude of velocities of the two bodies involved in the collision, and says nothing about the magnitude of other bodies’ velocities.

I think you’ll find that most people would characterize something that plays an important role in keeping them from dying in high speed collisions as unsafe, unless they know it to be safe. There’s no speculation involved. If it’s been tested, than it’s safe. If it hasn’t been tested, than we know it’s unsafe to use be…

Huh? They did not bust what you think they busted. You would rather hit a stationary car with you going 30 (or vice versa be stationary and get hit by a car going 30) than be moving in one direction at 30 and hitting a car that’s going in the opposite magnitude vector at 30. In both scenarios, there is equal material…

Common sense is right sometimes only for the same reason that if you shit in random places *sometimes* it’ll end up in a toilet.

True. But the energy of a crash is a factor of the delta of speeds. In front end crashes, you’re generally adding each other’s speed (minus a minus speed). In a read-end, the worst case is almost always going to be you being stationary, aka just *one* vehicles speed.

“color matched wheels look like shit”

It’s entirely possible her TikTok popularity is predicated on her being “irresponsible” and it basically pays for the bad loans she “accidentally” gets. I don’t understand why anybody takes any of this shit at face value. People are performatively “stupid” because it generates revenue to be so.

We should also really be considering the ecological impact of physical media in an age where something gets bought, sits on a shelf its entire life just to signify that you’re into something, then gets thrown out at some point. There are better ways of giving money to artists.

Or if you don’t want/need physical media, at least buy their releases off bandcamp. Bonus points for buying them on the days where all the sales revenue goes to the artist(s). For albums I want to buy, I still generally add and listen to them in YouTube, but buy their album off Bandcamp.

Get a The Room, you two.

aside from the naked appeal for an “I’m too cool to care about everyone” ribbon, the issue at hand is that you think you’re making the smart self-interested position, which it’s actually the dumb self-interested position

I’m always happy to fight to keep idiots alive for multiple reasons, the biggest of which are:

The important thing is somebody’s dad/mom/son/daughter died having fun.

Nice :) That’s a lovely colour too.

There’s a reason they do this on certain highways - it otherwise fills up with towtrucks jostling for business on roadways that lack sufficient space for that nonsense, and it fucks everything up. It’s the same on the major highways in Toronto. I blew a tire on one of those highways late at night once and called a…

yeah, they call it performance blue, and with the red highlight coloring, it looks soooooooo good. I wanted the i30N aka Elantra GT N. I’m so sad the GT doesn’t exist anymore in North America. I have the 2018 GT Sport in a darker metallic blue, sadly that predates the N and this color wasn’t available when I bought it.…
