“Boomers” weren’t alive in the 1930s when the cars that inspired the PT Cruiser were built, but I know it’s fashionable to blame everything on them so I guess I get it.

I hate it with my entire heart and my entire soul. I’ve dedicated a small portion of myself strictly to hating it. “Oh you should be more positive it’s just a truck lol I tow my boat with one it’s actually really good” I do not care. It’s disgusting. It’s an amalgamation of every single evil thing that humans have…
it looks like a cheap chevy with a bad bmw copy front
There’s an argument to be made for the entire current BMW performance lineup (outside the 2, which... it’s fine), but the iX is the greatest offender.
The Sir Vival.
I wish I knew why the PT Cruiser inspires such hatred. It’s not exactly beautiful, but it was a breath of fresh air and I really struggle to see how anyone could call it the ugliest car ever.
They do this shit to see who will lowball themselves and work for shit, they don’t really want to negotiate, that’s a bald face lie.
“Companies want to see that you’ve done your homework, and you’re generally aware of what the position will pay.”
Factoring in benefits should be set as a minimum when you start the salary negotiation. I just recently received an offer and a counter offer from a competitor to my current company. I am not itching to leave where I am but the new position will shrink my commute from 1 hour to 10 min. When salary came up, I gave them…
Not fully comparable. Once the feds set up a new department, it just kinda stays around forever and we ultimately passively float into the idea that it was always there, e.g. the TSA.
45 minutes is a long-ass time to watch a comedy that doesn’t make you laugh more than maybe three times.
I’m ok with this. I’ve watched both seasons. The show didn’t really know what it wanted to be. It focused WAY WAY too heavily on the daughter and by the second season was pushing an extremely unearned “we’re just one big dysfunctional family!” dynamic. (Complete with an awful forced Jim/Pam romance between the two off…
Bingo. Ask someone to watch a 13-minute advertisement, and they’ll be smashing the “skip ad” button before you can finish the question (it is a brave man who browses the internet in 2021 without a decent adblocker); but make someone think that it’s something that they’re not supposed to see, and they’ll actively seek…
Mostly, I was just offended that the whole thing was stupid, self-indulgent, and didn’t seem to really say anything specific about Audi (although, pulling in a bunch of classics and legendary race drivers was cool).
Well that’s lame
Yeah, it kinda goes beyond automotive. Hiding fasteners or joining methods has probably been a flex in woodworking for like 400 years.
Bolts-schmolts, back in the 70's in my parents family wagon (Pontiac, FWIW) you could see the welds in the floorboards. Big fat ropey looking things that I managed to convince my older sisters were actually cat poop that the factory painted over. Keep your puny boltheads, I wanna see some welds!
Honestly, I think it’s because fasteners such as screws are expensive, they they are typically bought as cheaply as possible with anti corrosion coatings (which don’t look as nice, but still better than rust). There are decorative bolts, but they cost even more and may or may not be as corrosion resistant. It’s often…
But that’s the real core of the problem: WHY do we associate hidden fasteners with quality? It in no way is evidence of quality, and showing actually high-quality fasteners would say so much more. Why can’t we break this silly belief?
When i was 19 i had a jeep with that steering wheel, the one with all the fake hex bolts. The horn didnt work, so i thought to repair it i had to undo all of those hex bolts. went and bought a hex wrench set and everything - man was i pissed.
