They also get to enjoy a position of comfort where several new model can go amiss and the revenue streams from guaranteed performers will help them float through the volatility. For Tesla that was meant to be the 3, so they still have to suffer all the growing pains without the protection.

Why would you care at all about the last? Do you get angry when you hear Trekkies speak Klingon, or is your nerd hatred reserved for F&F franchise fans?

Has there been evidence that the attacks were to pursue a particular ideology?

Mmm, smells like 90s toxic masculinity all right. Thank you for making your flaws so apparent at a glance, you save the rest of us a lot of time we might have otherwise wasted if we thought you were a mature adult.

While I concede on dictionary grounds, the social context of the word slur is fairly clear; almost no one uses that word without the context of some sort of racial, ethnic, or social aspect in contemporary language.

Yeah, gaming through the end of the nineties into the early aughts was basically defined by 12 year olds screaming homophobic and racial slurs over their microphone punctuated with descriptions of sexual exploits with my mother.

Asshole, dipshit, and shitpiece are not slurs, they are insults. Just because they might illicit a similar emotional response doesn’t make them synonyms.

I find it pretty ironic that you included a variation of the word retard in your list of examples of how “back in your day” people weren’t using slurs.

It’s hardly a red herring to say that if a law says you’ll face jail time for trying to buy a gun illegally, and almost nobody gets prosecuted, to say those laws aren’t being enforced.

An easy one that should concern everyone is how few felons attempting to buy firearms illegally get prosecuted. In 2010 there were nearly 80,000 individuals blocked from purchasing a firearm because they failed their background check. Of those 44 were prosecuted. Subsequent years have had similar numbers.

And you still have to buy that car from a dealership who processes your order.

Clarkson is a very solid writer of his own voice. He has always been rather crap at doing anything other than standing on a soap box composed primarily of his own self-satisfaction and shouting about his own thoughts. He is a monologue king, it’s what’s always made his reviews so interesting to read or listen to. He…

Yes, and just because someone is funny when interacting with their friends in an natural setting does not mean they’re a good writer.

The irony is that everyone was up in arms about conservative dog whistles during last years campaign, which was a legitimate concern, and now it’s come full circle for the left to call out, “Oh my God, company X just poured some concrete, way to sell your sole to the white nationalist swine!” on Twitter and everyone…

Because the 370Z has been hilariously irrelevant since the day it was released in 1932.

I think the (atrocious) “unplanned” video said it all. The GT crew took the legitimate complaints that every second of dialogue was overly scripted and pushing the contrived “character” versions of the real hosts at the expense of the very real, silly banter that made the show so good.

You’re forgetting that McConnel doesn’t have to break his promise to torpedo the Democrat’s bill. He can put it for a vote, hell, he can pass it. His BFF Paul Ryan will just use the bill that gets sent over by the Senate to wipe his ass in the House.

That prequel was called 2017, and some idiot already greenlit three more seasons of it.

You’ve pegged why I haven’t gone to CNN’s website in years. I gave up having to load a stupid video on talking about the story just to pause it so I could read the story I clicked on to begin with!

All you have to do is use advertising similar to how cable networks do it; keep it roughly in the neighborhood of your audience. If you’re on Lifehacker put up ads for home automation services, grocery delivery outfits, and DIY companies. If you’re on Gizmodo advertise the 10,000 tech products that are out every three…
