Esther,

1: Actually advertise and market them. Play up their strengths (never go to jiffy lube again! maintenance is super simple because it’s got one moving part in the engine!) Neutralize their weaknesses- make part of the 5-year warranty the ability to rent ANY ICE powered vehicle the manufacturer makes, 2 times a year,…

As well as those who are mad that society changes ever. Texting involves new social protocol that you might have to actually think about and learn.

Texting has its own emotional tone protocols that not everyone has picked up, especially if they’re grammar nitpicks in their emails or whatever. Periods indicate seriousness and harshness. Exclamation points indicate excitement and pleasant demeanor. No punctuation at the end of a sentence is neutral. Consider:

He tries SO HARD to show how solid his relationship with Jessica Biel is. To me, that screams insecurity. The gestures on Instagram, the long poetic posts....and this MOTHERFUCKER made a career on the infidelity mistakes his teenage girlfriend made. Its sickening.

This entire comment section is a fantastic way of determining who exercises empathy vs. those who are incapable of understanding or expressing it.

Selena and whoever Tori Brixx is - it’s really ok to get a dress that fits in the chest! Tori’s in particular looks sloppy and uncomfortable. Not cute.

I’m feeling very gaslit by these comments. You don’t need long underwear unless its in the 20s or below, and even then you can just wear tights under your jeans. I only wear long underwear when it’s single digits or lower. But if you are coming in the next couple weeks it will be in the 40s and 50s mostly which (even…

When done right though...

There is a theory in engineering that there is a natural path a design solution takes to the best solution. A sort of natural selection. Over the years we learn from our bad designs and our good designs, eventually working our way towards the ideal design.

I honestly wouldn’t put it past Musk to decide to make a dash out of a rigid, brittle material that weighs 169.2 pounds per cubic foot.

Looks Buick-y.  

“No person has a right to raise a hand to a person in anger, other than in self-defense.”

“like the car just for people who can’t afford an equinox.”

I just recently watched the Hills reboot, and Heidi Montag doesn’t even look strange anymore to me. Seeing a lot of the faces on this runway/compared to how shocking Montag used to be, it’s crazy and a little scary how quickly I’ve become used to the cosmetically enhanced look.

Using body doubles for potentially exploitative nudity* makes it worse, not better, as it constitutes shunting off the problematic usage onto lower-paid workers with less agency. If the shot is too problematic for your royalty, why is it okay to ask it of smallfolk?

We bitch because we care. We want the show to be good.

Yeah, this was a pretty awful premiere—-my biggest gripe was yet another (over)use of the cliched “mother dies/goes into indeterminate coma in childbirth”, which of course will lead to “previously self-centered man digs deep to become stronger in caring for his newborn” plotline.

Yes yes. I need this directly into my veins! If anything atleast Shameless provides the recaps that power my Monday.
