Carmine’s: A Place for Steaks!

I’ll let young Homer answer that for you:

I think the way to be a good man is to be a good person. It’s not actually all that challenging, at least conceptually.

No one needs an instruction manual on masculinity. What Peterson and Tate offer are baroque justifications and self-deluding excuses for the insecure to indulge their worst impulses. They offer power fantasies, in other words, just like Captain America and Batman are power fantasies. They feel good, but they aren’t…

I don’t think we’re having different conversations. You said that someone could look to Jordan Peterson if they wanted to learn how to be a good man. I am saying that is wrong, not just that I don’t personally want to look to Jordan Peterson. Jordan Peterson can teach you how to be a pathetic, misogynistic, bigoted…

My fear when flying is that we’ll hit something, maybe another air plane or a land/ocean based missile which cuts the airplane in 2 and we sit there while we wait for death to come ala TWA flight 800 out of JFK in ‘96.

This is the truth. Back in 2015, when I could think that deep down, people are maybe at least partially good, even if they’re racist or some other thing, maybe there’s a shred of good somewhere in them.

I don’t really get it either, it’s not like the Covid lockdowns were anything like the walking dead. Are these people on Medication that maybe covid disrupted the supply chain, so they can no longer get quickly?

The movie is also almost 50 years old. It’s difficult for current audiences to understand how groundbreaking something was then when everyone has copied and improved upon it in the decades since. My uncle saw Bullit in the theater and said that watching the car chase on the big screen made him nauseous. No one had…

It’s hard to watch old car chases because nearly all of them suck.  We are so conditioned to special effects and blinding speed with modern chases.

I say this as someone who likes driving fast, who owns fast cars, and who is generally skeptical of adding more bureaucracy to our lives:

I wondered about that, I definitely had the heated grips on when it happened. I figure I’ll take it all apart and clean it and re-lube everything anyway. The bars need to come off for the risers anyway, and I need to make some adjustments to the Barkbusters.

My ‘11 F800R went thru a handful of lightbulbs, too. Odd.

Yeah, I’m a Brit and I think American punk eventually course corrected with post-hardcore and indie-rock, but there was that weird period where UK punks got really smart and adventurous and US punks just doubled-down on the worst shit (with a couple of exceptions). It would be like if Sham 69 took the place in the…

I get the sense a lot of dudes who were way into hardcore in the 80s and 90s would just be internet trolls today.

God I love the comments on Jalopnik. I always learn new cool stuff. Pyrophoric. Thanks two wheels

Ducati asked if I wanted a top box when I was arranging this pick up and I don’t think I’d have been able to get on at all if I’d said yes. Certainly not gracefully.

So, we’ve seen sub-prime lending on cars go up for the last 3 years. Now we may have 10%+ unemployment, specifically hitting the service industry. I’m betting we are about to see a whole lot of car repossessions in the coming months.
