Prioritization of resources comes to mind. FedEx treats its employees like shit with draconian policies and often-terrible working conditions. It’s not a bad idea per se from your perspective as a potentially uninvolved bystander, but to people working for FedEx or with a sympathetic ear to their workers, the cost of…

Damn, I should've followed the link...pure laziness on my part 

Life of Brian is a little soggy throughout its whole run-time. It’s more like a decently OK movie punctuated with several poignant and deeply incisive MP moments

Taco Cabana isn't really a local chain, but I do endorse them. They have some of the most legitimately delicious tortillas out there, you can buy them by the dozen. They taste like a grandma is making them on a griddle with lard

Man, where are all of the good guys with guns that Texans love to talk about whenever the subject of gun control comes up?  

I had a pretty similar thing happen about 20 years ago now with a '69 Barracuda. That car sucked

“ballistic birch plywood”

What's it like to be so sure and so wrong at the same time? 

I usually get a hairdryer and heat adhesive labels slightly, then peel. Even if you just get it warm to touch it’ll peel off much easier and then you can do a little cleanup with alcohol. Almost every label adhesive I’ve ever come across is pretty heat sensitive, so I always introduce heat when removing labels

Hand the counter person a $5 bill while you look them right in the eye and tell them, "No" 

I can buy that 

I dunno if I find this out of character, for the era at least. Just anecdotally. I can’t make an evidence-based statement, but I feel like the era of the land yachts of the 50s and 60s were typified by making larger and heavier vehicles as a point of pride because heavy meant sturdy and reliable. It feels like the ad…

“What obstacle can you clear with just a rear open diff that needs that much ground clearance?”

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of the lane keeping feature. I feel like I’m subtly fighting the steering wheel a bit, but maybe it's just me not being used to it. I feel like rather than a human making a bunch of smooth corrections to stay in the lane, the automated system makes fewer jerky movements and when my hands are on…

My wife’s car has this and, granted I see the enormous positives of having it, I’m not here to naysay. That being said, when this system triggers inappropriately, it is fucking infuriating. I’ve had this system go off when cars in turn lanes approach an intersection to make a right turn into my lane as I’m going…

I read Smart and best in the same sentence and had a good chuckle, what an oxymoron. I got saddled with these pieces of shit several times from European rental agencies, I would rather take the bus and have my car payment money in my pocket every month than have to drive one of these turds

Ugh, that has unfortunately been my experience as well

4. You’re into findom and your domme told you to buy it, pay to have it repaired, gift it to her, and as a reward you get your balls stepped on by a lady in boots 

I heard they were putting 5Gs in the trains 

I’ve seen and read enough of libertarians during our on ongoing healthcare and public health crises debates to learn that they pay lip service to the idea of public welfare and that’s as far as they go. Maybe if there are some market forces that can intervene on behalf of this intersection we’d get a resolution, but…
