I checked a video of the thing functioning normally, and it doesn’t have the “airbag” line. So, in other words, they must have actually recorded backup lines which automatically kick in if the thing malfunctions. Which, honestly, is kind of hilarious.

this isn’t even a Sam Barsanti article, which SHOCKED me when I glanced at the byline

WOW! I mean, I know AV Club has turned into taking verbatim snippets from Variety, HR and Deadline, (Often just literally cut and paste), and you want some Leto snark, but, the fuck? That interview is crazy good, and would make a nice think piece, but none of that’s here.

1 Being overly negative

Dammit, where’s your outrage!  Get out of here with your “fairness” and common sense. 

To be fair, if I go onto Ram’s website and check all of the boxes on a TRX (without special edition), I’ll be at around $99,000.

Just don’t take things from your workplace - it’s stealing. And, no, we don’t “all do it”.

I don’t even know what to say about this. I would say I’m shocked that someone wrote an article encouraging people to steal, but I’m not. The world has gone to shit lately. This is just one aspect of a highly complex problem in the labor world, and employees being encouraged to steal is definitely not the worst aspect…

If the U.S. went entirely carbon-neutral today it would barely make a tiny dent in the issue of climate change. Most pollution comes from developing nations, not the U.S. This will harm Americans without actually changing anything.

Yeah, that’s a bizarre take. There was nothing particularly androgynous about the character Juno. 

wow, page has dodged near-certain death three times!  

I haven’t seen Juno since it was first out but I don’t remember thinking “Gee, that pregnant teenager is definitely more androgynous that what’s seen in popular films!”
It was more like “Wow, that nerdy kid got someone to fuck him?”

Better than the second episode, but it’s still just so silly. The Stormtroopers are searching for a Jedi but their superiors never showed them a photo of said Jedi? How did they ever plan to find him? And Vader just lets Obi Wan get away because he somehow can’t figure out how to go around or through some flames on…

Not sure where anyone watching this would get the “young people are bad” vibe - the younger Top Gun grads are certainly no worse than Maverick, Iceman and his crop. In fact it’s one of the more interesting observations of the film; these classes of pilots come and go, and every one thinks they are the king shit of…

“I don’t get the appeal of this Top Gun sequel... I’ll wait to stream this one at home.” LOL. Yes, if you wait to stream Top Gun: Maverick, you definitely don’t get the appeal. Guy watches movie about supersonic IMAX jet action on laptop while browsing TikTok, doesn’t get the appeal. The internet nods. :\

Gee, it’s almost like there’s a wide range of highly compensated jobs that require a physical presence. Pretty sure a surgeon can’t remote in, ar a plant manager, or a construction manager, or a trial lawyer, or a manufacturing engineer etc....

This.

Don’t start your replies with “uh”, it just makes you seem like an asshole. And yes, it is. It’s absence from the skies has not been missed, and it was only in occasional use even before. It is a vanity symbol, and if Ukraine needs one (it doesn’t) then it should at least design and manufacture a more modern aircraft.…

Is this the same person who wrote the last article about how awful cruise ships are?

The only reason for me is geographical, the nearest Costco is 100 miles away and I can see Sams Club from my office window.
