Fuck that, he was the one who took him to that particular dealer in the first place and then apparently stood mute during the title nonsense. If anything he should be the subject of a non compos mentis hearing, not empowered to compound the problem by directing junior to what would doubtless be the worst shyster in…

The thing looks like it has the automotive equivalent of a prolapsed anus and you want the pics to be clearer?  I fear running into one of these things out in the wild, at least until Athena decides to bestow a mirrored shield upon me...

I mean, I don’t know what they could do to make me loathe them any more as a company, other than maybe like a co-branding arrangement with NAMBLA or something. Their troll game is formidable.

Same reason some guys get stuck paying child support despite DNA evidence clearly showing they have no relation to the subject child: the state is far, far more interested in who can pay than who should.

Watching The Expanse on a tablet is akin to getting an opportunity for a private track day at Laguna Seca and showing up for it in a tractor.

Didn’t the late, great Paul Mooney have an entire bit on this like 20 years ago? He’d list all the supposed “anti-white” “slurs” like “cracker”, “honky”, “white trash”, etc., and note that white people had never cared at all about being called any of them, and concluded that the appropriate derogatory term for whites…

Too dumb; didn’t read. 

No kidding; I can’t decide if “servile” or “slavish” is the more appropriate descriptor of their tone...

I’ll bet.  Now you just need to convince Risk Management and Legal, lol.  

You didn’t ever need to hear forklift or pallet jack horns? 

I am feeling this, having spent yesterday morning huddled just outside the door of a local mechanic in freezing weather, swiping (gloveless, of course) on my stupid fucking phone for a full hour trying to find an available ride on Uber or Lyft and making like a dozen calls to cab companies (zero pickups!!) after…

Not quite: it’s expected that C3 carbon fixation photosynthesis will become impossible to sustain within 500M years. Given that about 95% of all current vegetation on Earth is of the C3 variety, you can definitely expect life as you know it to radically change well before that time.

Ubisoft Formica?

Easiest. Boycott. Ever. "Oh noes, I can't play 100-hour fetch quests anymore." 

They were an existential threat to the Finns long before the Cold War, or for that matter the existence of Communism, or the United States.

Describing a notoriously fearsome Germanic tribe, the Harii, Tacitus wrote that they would paint their shields and bodies black and attack on moonless nights, triggering panic in their opponents, and concluded “in every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered.” No eyes, no fear, right?  

Get a cheap trolley jack and cordless impact wrench and you could probably cut that clean in half.  I have no idea what he’s talking about, a lift is about as necessary to the job as a laser is to cutting a sandwich.  

Maybe right now, but they’ve got a seriously problematic neighbor that could rear up at any time.  

I know this is fundamentally absurd, and of all forms of human solidarity the generational is the lowest, blah blah blah, but personally, at a visceral level, I blame the Millennials for this shit. Gen-X won their war in the late 90s, when they shunned that stupid, parasitic DIVX format so monolithically and…

The hostility one is absolutely on point. The last place I rented (god willing, ever) was the downstairs unit of an older duplex, and the owner lived upstairs. Older guy, single, nearing retirement. “Great, great,” I figure, “nice and quiet, no drama, perfect.” In meeting the guy to look at the place, he’s extremely…
