I was seriously considering one of these (cross shopping with the last generation S4), but aside from the looks, it just doesn’t do anything better than most of the other cars I considered

chill out. just misremembering from my moto license that I got years ago. the DNR bit is still true

In Washington state, it’s not required to wear a helmet, but in the event of a potentially fatal accident, lack of one is an automatic DNR. I think that’s a pretty fair rule for those “freedom” types

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan too. It’s the frequency and recklessness of it (lots of kids playing). He’ll often do it late into the night as well - we’re talking 3am. Not to mention, in my opinion, his particular setup just doesn’t sound that good. There’s no reason to straight pipe a car made in the last 10-15…

On my block, it’s one of my neighbors with a straight piped mustang gt. it never leaves 1st gear, and he cold starts it to drive around the block (above the speed limit) several times a day.

Not at all. The only way an old car is better than a new car is if you decide to only measure 1 or 2 aspects. As a whole, new cars are always better. Fuel economy, safety, handling, speed - all improved as a whole. Looks are subjective, but any quantifiable metric is absolutely better today than they were some…

I hate to say it, but it’s a shame what’s happening (or has always been happening?) to boxing. There are still real fights, of course, but it seems like it’s fighting for relevance by having these nonsense payday fights. 

It seems like you’ve completely missed the premise of most of the Gundam series. They’re not about young boys shooting for the stars. In fact, it’s really about the opposite - the pitfalls of needless corporatization and expansion.

I think the shock here is mostly that he is loud and wrong about these beliefs, not that he has them. 

Which is wild because he was hospitalized due to, you guessed it, respiratory issues because he was wildly overweight for a while. 

If they release a hatch, I’m throwing myself on the waiting list for a lease immediately. If not, the S4 will continue to get my affection

If I didn’t have such a conscience I’d probably do this. I have a huge backlog of models that I’ve never put into anything other than personal projects (I’m a hobbyist). Had I known I could sell them to idiots, I’d have been rich a decade ago by selling test renders.

I was good friends with a guy who probably had a legitimate claim to being a genius, but pretty much had no other noteworthy or positive personality traits. Then he got into MENSA and became damn near insufferable

You’re the only other person in the kinja-verse to make the connection that far right horseshit and hotep horseshit differ only in race. The ideologies are largely identical. We’re seeing it play out in real time with the most adamant anti-vax black people too. It’s frustrating to see some of my closest friends…

I’d love to stop the “ugh my WIFE” types of comments altogether. It seems like a major boomer/x-er staple to, for some reason, communicate that you loathe the person that you’ve chosen to spend your life with. I can’t wait to never hear a wife or “my husband is sooo stupid” esque joke ever again.

Yeah it’s kind of frustrating seeing all of the vaccine “discourse” lately. A lot of the media and thinkpieces talk about them dumb ol’ Trump supporters not being vaccinated for Freedom™ reasons, but don’t know how to talk (or are avoiding talking about) black people’s skepticism about vaccinations. I’ve always said…

I dealt with similar feelings when I lived in Seattle. I eagerly moved there for work in my early 20s. I loved it there, but was “too cool” to really explore and see what the city had to offer, being a native NYer. Not to mention that I had let my commute dictate which part of the city I’d live in. It wasn’t until I…

This experience is what more or less turned me off from the game right around the height of the pandemic. I was really enjoying all of the quarantine changes they made, especially because there was a gym within direct line of sight of my bedroom window that I could spin from home. But what was becoming clear was that…

My fiance got once because her old car was totalled in a hit & run. She was in grad school and needed a car, hence her Versa. It’s our workhorse

I’m actually glad they’re announcing this when they are. It’ll be between a B8.5 S4 for me or leasing a new STI if there’s a wagon.
