The points you’ve made (most of which are valid) speak to an interesting question: at what point did we collectively decide that practicality was the end-all-be-all trait for a vehicle. It wasn’t that long ago (Ok more like 30 years ago but whatever) when the choice of small “sporty” coupes was just as wide as the…

Parking. 

The downside is for the rest of us who don’t want the damned things. The automakers are lemmings and are starting to not make anything else BUT those cars.

I don’t want to say that confederate flags are common in New England, but they’re not unheard of. We just moved to southern Maine and there’s a house not far from us with a big confederate flag (and, of course, a bunch of Trump signs). And New Hampshire has a tone of them. I think they’re less common in MA, especially…

The ‘fuck your feelings’ Trumpers sure are having a lot of feelings.

Strangely, I don’t hear much kvetching about parading the confe-DUH-rate rag around the capitol building being disrespectful to the American flag.

A football field is ~100m long.

“People who think that Massachusetts can’t be racist because it’s politically blue have obviously never gone to a Red Sox game”

People who think that Massachusetts can’t be racist because it’s politically blue have obviously never gone to a Red Sox game. Spend three beer-soaked hours in Fenway park on any summer afternoon, and you’ll find out how real Massachusetts yokels behave. There’s a reason the term “Massholes” exists.

Not curious to me. We now have how many generations of white people that have been raised to romanticize the old south? Then there are the deep ties between slave patrols and law enforcement. We never stomped that shit out so of course it spread.

That term doesn’t mean anything anymore. Ya’ll Qaeda thinks they’re patriots. They draped themselves in flag gear or painted it on their bodies because they worship that same flag. 

Massachusetts really isn’t the deep blue Democratic haven it’s presented as. Once you leave greater Boston, Worcester, and Springfield to a lesser extent, things turn bright red. Trump barely lost some districts in the last election. Also, MA has a proud history of racism. Walking distance from the State House and a…

In Masasachusetts, a state that had a proud history of fighting against the confederacy..... this horse shit.

“Anti-American?” Pretty sure that adequately describes the people supporting those who literally declared war on America 160 years ago.

The title alone gets ‘Two Snaps Up’!

Still find the whole narrative around Tiger a weird indication of how whack and puritan our society is becoming. That whole documentary was like, ‘Tiger, the sad tragic story, his great demise.’ I mean – he’s only the greatest golfer possibly in the history of the sport, an unbelievable success story (and in the face…
