My family’s 1984 Toyota pickup was stolen once. Someone had used a wiggle key to start it.

We drove around and searched for it, eventually finding it outside a trailer park. Judging from the state of the bed, he had hauled some wood chips or firewood in it.

When it comes to car stuff, most seem to forget having any schooling or common sense at all.

I’ve seen men who design rockets for a living treat their engine bay like a black box full of magic.

There’s just something about cars that scares a certain large subset of the population into drooling idiots.

Fod maiket.

But then we couldn’t clutch our pearls...

Awesome. Poe’s law was the last square I needed on my CTR bingo card.

I HAVE A BINGO, PEOPLE.

What did I win?

She just will, okay? Stop being sexist, bro.

Among Democrats. Believe it or not, Independents and Republicans also vote in the general.

Like this guy? He was posting child porn on Sanders delegate organizing pages in order to report them for it.

Nice dude I’m sure.

That guy is David Brock. And he convinced all HRC supporters to parrot the Bro narrative by paying Correct The Record SuperPAC employee-trolls to flood the internet with 1)The strawman concept of a ‘berniebro’ 2)Vote manipulation by sockpuppet accounts to promote these strawman posts, and 3)Agent Provocateurs to make…

...not only tolerates this behavior but quietly encourages it.

Jalopnik writer: “Driving a 5-year old car is exciting and risky! I never know if it’s going to start, except it always does. If it ever didn’t, I would have to take it to a carfax mechanic or something and write like ten articles about how thrilling it was to be handed the broken part when Jose was done fixing it.…

Now spend $3400 on IPD suspension and exhaust and drive it for another 200k on the current oil change.

My thoughts? So what.

The city ain’t what it used to be.

All my artist friends moved to West Seattle five years ago when Cap Hill, Fremont, and Belltown priced them out. All that is left are tech bros complaining about the homeless and comparing iWatches in trendy cap hill bars over $14 cocktails.

Renting is not a license to trash someone else’s property and move on.

Precisely. My rent has gone up 10% a year for the last four, and that’s not even that bad for a city that is overcrowded due to the recent influx of workers from a company that rhymes with “Blamazon”, among other things.

This coming cycle, rent on my 600sq ft 1br tumbledown moldy shack will be more than a mortgage…

Same boat here. Even making a decent income, my rent eats up more than a mortgage payment every month. I’ve noticed the people that advise “skipping the bar on Friday” to save also tend to have been given money by others...

But “Bill Nye The Technology And Engineering Guy” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Oh shut up, you know how politics works.

Of course you will.

*spills coffee* DAMN BERNIE BROS

Booker ticks all the identity politics boxes, but did a few no-nos like vote against the TPP and not support draconian gun control. I think he has been dangerously principled, and it disqualifies him.

Castro has less identity cache, but is mild mannered publicly and also would allow Clinton to continue to paint her…
