I don’t get it. This was Porsche of South Bay, correct? In fucking Los Angeles, which is packed with rich kids? Why would the sales staff make such idiotic assumptions after so much personal experience to the contrary?

That’s because you have probably, by and large, carefully selected a tiny subset of humans to comprise the group that surrounds you.

Agreed. They aren’t manufacturing enough units; demand is higher than their production. They can’t tightly limit production, then turn around and complain that there’s speculation. That doesn’t make any sense unless Porsche intends to play both ends of the story, privately enjoying the out-of-control secondary market…

If you were a bit older, you’d remember when white people were obsessed with saying “off the reservation.” There have been other recent examples as well, but whites in general have loved racism and cultural appropriation for a very long time.

This made me think of a long-lost (thankfully) Internet site I could only unearth via the Wayback Machine. Gather round, kids. It’s a May 2001 capture of dolphinsex.org:

Unpredictability.

The reason posts like this are beautiful is because you just know there will be tons of users who miss the point and show up to brag about needing two feet of ground clearance and four full bench seats because they take their 20 friends to Moab every single day.

Sometimes, some people don’t grasp the scale of human society. They ask, how can we as a species possibly affect something so large as an entire planet’s climate?

Are you surprised about the CLA only because it’s a Mercedes?

What the fuck is this guy doing writing for Jezebel?

I grew up in the exact cities that inspired the show’s fictional setting. I didn’t like the show specifically because it was so accurate. However, its portrayal was too gentle and benevolent. I thought it wasn’t critical enough of the bad white people who live in those places.

Don’t worry. American liberals will keep blowing Musk, their Lord and savior, no matter what. He can do no wrong in their eyes. He deserves a place in the Trump administration.

Ancona clearly believed in treating others as he wanted to be treated, so given that he wished death upon the oppressed, I won’t begrudge anyone who wished death on him. After all, it’s what he wanted.

She’s one of my computer science heroines. Women contributed a lot more to the history of computers than most people realize. Unfortunately, it will be some time before that’s widely acknowledged.

So I see a lot of posts from people pointing out that only the privileged can participate, meaning any strike would be ineffective.

Richard Spencer needs to understand that this nation is full of free-willed individuals who despise his hateful, genocidal ideas. He needs to make sure they stay just ideas. This time, it was just a punch. He knows that fist could have held a knife.

Evil people seem normal when you engage them in small talk. They typically don’t walk around advertising their hate... Unless, of course, you happen to be one of their targets.

Without a manual, it’s not truly competing with the 3-series. The take rate for MT 3-series, M and non-M, may fairly low and declining, but it’s not zero.
