Regarding your last point - absolutely. I think it was D’Antoni who said his dream starting lineup was, “five 6'10" guys who can shoot and pass”.

“How do I become ugly to these people?”

Well, women still can’t drive in SA so I wouldn’t be totally shocked if they did a poor job with health education.

You raise an interesting point! Awareness is kind of like visibility on a motorcycle. We aren’t talking about the actual ability for things to be physically seen, we’re talking about the ability for things to be acknowledged/recognized by the mind. A neon vest isn’t any more “visible” to the eye than a black…

Cute thought experiment, but hilarious that it continues with the greatest lie ever told by leaving USA out. British Empire was (and still is) centered around the advancement of the Angloid (human/neanderthal beast) at all/any cost.  

Yep - a small island nation with one of the world’s longest empires and richest histories produced both brilliant automakers and accurate researchers. Wild coincidence.

Yawn. I’d rather have a bike or two in the garage next to a Van than just a sports car (regardless of the specific sports car). I just don’t get you car guys - is it just a fear thing? Did you give riding a try and just not perform well?

It’s morally wrong to use science to make babies when we live in a world where children starve to death :-(

I think you make a pretty powerful point.

If the world is so fragile that it can be destroyed by a few phone calls, the world should be destroyed. From just-in-time supply chain to micro-margin money changing, humans have really taken this progressivism thing too far.

‘All I Want For Christmas’ is the best holiday song recorded in my life time. Just a perfect track. Love Mimi.

Completely untrue - power structure has been doing what it always has been, looking out for itself. Pulls capital from those who have it (the rich and older) and pulls resources from young active minds that have been trained for docility and willing to do anything for a pat on the back. The only thing that’s changed…

I think it’s important to recognize that the world brings immense pressure and programming to all who live under its power. Your attitude of blaming the “stupid” common person is exactly why so many are straying from the democracy experiment.

I’m all for a sensationalist headline, but like fifteen years ago some guys flew some plans into buildings. Instead of just locking the airplane doors we started two bullshit wars at the direction of a VP who was part of the ownership group of a multinational oil and paramilitary organization who took a small attack…

“Check your privilege” coming from a rich guy while placing a bet that represents more than the average lifetime earnings for a person in the richest country in the world means it’s cool to be racist again, right?

I hear what you’re saying, but society has changed. It’s no longer okay for people to have sex with people who are super fucked up. Is the pendulum swinging to far to compensate for generations of treating women like pieces of property? We’ll see.

You’re 100% correct on your first point - but In my experience (six figure salary, professional job in an east coast major metro) a car can never be too wild, but can absolutely be too stale.

The top comment is commenting on how horrible this person is. Wow. It was a total accident. It was wrong, even to make the inside joke to a personal friend, but she doesn’t deserve the total hate and disgust that people are showing.

Getting angry only helps the angry person. It’s stupid, but it’s real. Life’s about being cooler than the people around you - change your attitude if you want to change minds of others.

This wasn’t transcribed by humans, it was scanned and transcribed by computers. The dude from google who thinks computers are taking over the world gained a patent for OCR or invented it or something in the 1970s and still totally sucks. Optical Character Recognition is a computer reading pixel differences and…
