I’m not sure I share all of your conclusions, but this is one of the most exemplary pieces of writing and analysis I’ve ever seen on this website (really any site within the former-Gawker-sphere) in any of its iterations.

Absolutely outstanding and thought-provoking work. Thank you.

Seems to me the guys who make hot Toyota hatchbacks should be called *bunta* not *takumi*, but maybe that’s just me.

Somehow that pseudo-apology makes everything way worse. “I just didn’t know?”

I started buying Herdez salsa because of their old sponsorships (and because it’s really good salsa). Player’s cigarettes, too, when I see them.

I feel like a major driver of the plot of the game in its entirety is Arthur’s wild naivete. He gets taken-advantage of by nearly everyone he encounters, exploited by Dutch, and ::spoilers:: totally screwed over by Micah’s scheming.

It’s also a big element of his character development. Realizing how Strauss’ loans…

Again it’s deceptive. Since the Army started this, we’ll pick on them.

Benefits when you get out are/can be insanely good if you make the most of them.

I think your Twitch demos are way off. The stats I’ve seen drop 41% of viewers between 16 and 24, with another 32% between 25 and 34.

If it’s any consolation, it’s not just Trump. China’s got territorial beefs with nearly every other country in the region right now.

PBY-5A (the A is the important bit).

Karen only regretted that her new Alfa was blue.

That doesn’t really make any sense.

Aww... this got me unverified. Unfortunately, as someone who watched a coworker get nearly blown in half by an inattentive driver, I’m still on the fence on this one. Intentionality matters.

The statistics used to be insane (maybe they still are). It was like one FHP officer for every 300 miles of federal and state highway.

I dunno. The idea of willfully smashing through a crowd of protestors is horrifying to me, but apparently the police know something we don’t about the situation.

“Because for all the stats about how much pickup truck owners love their trucks, including some who will choose them over regularly having a literal orgasm,”

Just not sure how the movement is going to survive without the explicit endorsement of the all-powerful board game forums.

Nope.

Traffic stops suck, but if you want to know why they’re there, just drive around Beijing for a weekend.

That and the transmission. That 4-speed auto felt like the slushiest slushbox ever slushed around town.
