lightweight cars are fine in the winter. just get snow tires and drive well

source: drove a Tercel in the winter for years, did it later on with a Yaris as well

I dislike heavier cars because they have so much more momentum. hard to change direction with little traction and you run into things with more energy. little cars you can just spin the wheels, find some traction, and go where you’re pointing.

all the coolest homies “fail to grab this image”

and like, they’re not even that bad

Foo Fighters, for some reason, are fucking loved, and yet if you actually listen to their albums, they’re just… meh

they got a few good songs and a lot of things I never want to hear again. and that’s coming from someone whose favourite band was them for a very long time. not to mention they sound like shit live

onto the web it goes, then

tbf, Microsoft keeps fucking with my mouse drivers so the scroll wheel is erratic

yup, did this for a couple years a while back. I could drive 70-75 across town and make it to work in 12 minutes on an empty stroad at 530am, or I could drive the speed limit of 60 and it would take 20

guess which option I took

I was so happy when I stopped getting carded in my late twenties. I didn’t need to carry my wallet around with me anymore just to show ID when I pick up booze. made it that much easier to go run errands, as I only needed my phone in my pocket

that’s the nipple rubbing, right? (among other occasions)

because yeah that shit is on brand. I just don’t see them portraying deforestation as heroic

nobody would pass because nobody can see anything with LED headlights anymore

I despise shitty drivers who buy huge dangerous vehicles because they feel safer. absolutely despise them. it’s a fucking disgusting selfish decision.

I watched my grandpa’s driving deteriorate to where I didn’t feel safe being driven around by him, for myself or for others.

thank you for making that choice. 70 feels early, to me, comparing to when I noticed it in my grandfather and what I am seeing in my father now, so I respect your decision even more

hopefully you live somewhere that you can still get around decently, as my grandfather did. he could still walk or bike all around town, and did

I don’t recall those episodes even though I definitely saw them, but that really doesn’t feel like that was the intent of the episode… that would be out of character

edit: to be clear I do mean that it would be out of character to show deforestation as heroic, and that yes it must have been satire

clearly you didn’t learn, since diamonds are a pretty common shape

the US’s agreement on something is worth basically nothing, and will be for a very long time

to build roads and maintain the world’s strongest defensive military, of course. y’know, the things people need?

people don’t need safe drinking water, duh

I’m so fucking tired of AI slop

yesterday I even got google AI search summaries quoting Meta AI summaries of people’s public facebook comments

like guys I just want to know the fucking difference between these two driveway sealer products, I don’t need a 1000 word AI generated food blog post on the incorrect reasons why sealing is important

I couldn’t imagine drinking a 250 calorie coffee

I did that for a long time, but there’s so many that I just kinda gave up on keeping up with it

dude can’t even design a website that scrolls properly and he’s responsible for billion dollar company logos‽

I’d love to work

what I don’t love is how for a couple years my job was to just clean up other people’s messes, babysit other departments (including their managers that outranked me!), figure out how to make the abso ok itely terrible systems that management put in place work for us, take the abuse that people directed at me for those terrible systems instead of management despite how I nearly quit my job because nobody was listening when I repeatedly explained very clearly how terrible those systems would be for literally everyone, and was still expected to complete new types of projects (which we were not set up to efficiently work on) faster with fewer resources and shittier planning, while not getting any meaningful raises.

yeah, that sucked. so now I do 40s and don’t worry about the stuff I can’t control. I tried, for years. it didn’t work. any time management wants to fix that work environment, I’d love to get back to doing lots of actual work. but cleaning up somebody else’s shit isn’t work in interested in doing
