You’re right; there is no such thing as reverse racism. Because being racist toward white people is just straight-up racism.

It’s okay. I’m worse. My brother picked me up from school once, after he had that day bought a PT Cruiser from a friend (we’re broke as shit, shut up). Naturally, he was super cautious and changed lanes on the freeway to avoid a tailgating asshole, remarking to me that the guy was gonna hit someone in the rush hour…

300, sir.

If you’ve already established which specific person by their given name or other context, yes.

Clearly, that was a cosmic condom, and Musk was being a bro and covering for the aliens. There’s nothing to worry about, it’s just some interstellar potty humor

The funniest part is, the things they do allow can be dangerous. I can bring my laptop with extra batteries on a plane, despite the fact that I could easily overvolt a battery, breach the cells, and cause a sizable explosion. If I wait until we’re at 35k ft, that could be catastrophic. They’ll let me risk blowing a…

Well, it’s better than the front falling off

Frankly, as long as it’s not peptobismol pink, I don’t give even a flightless fuck what color my car is. Maybe someday I’ll have the money to care, but not today

I think it’s also worth noting that the only people to complain about “whitewashing” in GitS were Americans. The Japanese audience had pretty much no issue with the casting of ScarJo, and in general rather enjoyed the movie (at least, more so than the American audience). So if the people so many Americans are…

Just sue them! Take ALL their money! Just sue them if they even LOOK at ya funny!

Wild turkeys can fly, although it is unclear if he actually tossed wild turkeys

And that’s why you should read the EULA! The fact is, anyone who spent money on it decided to on their own. Welcome to real life, where you don’t get a free pass any time you make a mistake. There’s a lesson to be learned here, so just learn the lesson and move on.

That’s my dad’s line every time I misplace something.

I’d argue that video games are not power fantasies. Well, they can be, but that’s not all they’re meant to be. They’re meant to be, first and foremost, entertainment. And shooters have a lot of fun and engaging game mechanics. You could just as well ask why slice-of-life anime (like K-ON, Realize, and such) have such…

Bit of a late entry, if I may, and this specific car never tried anything odd, but my dad’s old Dodge Intrepid, some 90s model, had the airbag sensors encased in a plastic housing. I’m not certain if there are horror stories about these cars out there, but he was always afraid that if he ever hit anything, the sensors…

I wish I had a picture, but I remember when I was but a wee child and my brother and I spotted a Corvette with the plate “HAPPY”. That was the day my brother swore he would someday own a Lamborghini and get the plate “HAPPIER”

High internal compression stress is good, it strengthens the glass and prevents crack and dislocation movement. What they really need is a greater tolerance for surface damage and flaws, and maybe a manufacturing process that produces them already curved as they need to be

For the record, pepper spray is more potent than mace, which may be helpful against certain... insistent individuals. Of course, screwdrivers can be pretty damn potent, too. But if your state allows pepper spray, it could be a worthwhile investment

This one’s not so much creepy as really confusing and startling. My dad was driving me home from school, which involved a few miles on the interstate running through the city. We came up behind a woman driving a minivan, going about 5 under, and doing a terrible job of starting in her lane. Since we were less than a…

What they really need to do is replace the glass panels with transparent metals (yes, such materials exist), then simulate stress boundaries and factures. It’d be a great scare for us materials engineers
