  • There is a very American explanation for this. Capitalists have to run everything so Communists are seen as evil from the start. If you ignore how US minorities were treated, Russia and China were really up their citizens asses. Russia dropped the ball on the whole consumer electronics sector so you’re left with China and their Great Firewall, social monitoring, etc. Thus information control and Orwellian monitoring = China.

    The reality is that both tankies and capitalist dick riders are just two raccoons in the same feed sack, they only came into it from different ends.

    Of course the UK also catches flak for being an over monitored nanny state, depending on which way the wind is blowing.





  • I know a couple people who one could describe as “twat” who turn off traction control and abs, thinking they are going to be rally drivers on the way to McDonalds. They tend to end up in the ditch.

    Subaru has been good. The lane warning was the only thing we turned off because it was just obnoxious. If something is beeping constantly and erratically, what’s the point? The lane centering had a tendency to pull towards semis when passing but that seems to have been fixed in an update. The only other thing that is more a quality of life is a way easily and preemptively to turn off the backup warning and breaking assist when pulling a trailer.









  • Breakfast cafés go downtown. IHOP likes to hang out with Olive Garden and Chili’s. Dennie’s is for old people. Waffle House will go places where the gas stations have bulletproof glass. They are in places where people need cheap food at 2:30 am. Waffle House is for travelers and partiers. They are for the unemployed, self employed, third shift or just shifty. Being open 24/7 makes them a place to be. Somewhere you can go to. Occasionally there are people who need to go somewhere and they are a little stressed out, a little wound up. Maybe a few screws loose they try to fix by huffing the thread locker. Getting a little glue to fix the cracks. So the staff is people who will work at a place that has crazy show up at 3am. They tend to be a bit gangster.

    So to this question, a customer from Waffle House who would start a fight is someone who is willing to fight the entire staff in one go and usually doesn’t stop till they catch a barstool to the head.

    That said, don’t be afraid to go to a Waffle House. They are exactly what it says on the box. Waffle and coffee, cheap. Most people there are happy, tired, and/or want to be left alone.
