And out of the people who do need them, vans are still a much better way to go for many of them. Vans which have at least a margainally better field of view with their short, sloped hoods.

Paris is ~5deg more northern than Montréal, it’s just how the ocean currents work and stuff that makes the weather different. Kinda fucked up, eh?

Last summer in Canada my car read 44C. Was fucked up.

My guy put on the diving suit and for some reason the one thing that clipped through was his big ol’ bingus.

I would still help them, yes, but at that point the price they pay is getting made fun of, too.

I’ve lived with three roommates now, all friends first and after. The first is very neat, no issues there. The second is non-binary but raised as a dude and it shows up in being a bit of a mess and lost on a lot of things, and the current is also the same but is cis and straight. At our ages, it’s just not my responsibility to constantly be delicately training men, especially as I, myself, am a privileged straight man who is at least baseline functional.

No, some people are too stupid. This dude never paid a single damn attention at home, clearly, and there’s a decent chance he thinks his mom will talk forever with nothing important to say even though this kid needs weeks of intensive training on how to be a sorta functioning adult.

Some people need to be shamed.

Also to the throttling up and down, the power plant, or even a gasoline generator sitting in the car itself, will always run at peak efficiency. Even a gasoline car sitting on the highway for 4hrs isn’t running at peak efficiency and a lot of that energy is lost in heat through the transmission.

Consequences for rich people? Not blaming their victims?!? Who the fuck do you think you are, anyway??

“I’m going to make a bunch of mistakes that will cost the company a lot of money and will cost many of you your jobs. But fret not, because I will experience zero consequences for this and will continue to deserve millions for being so smart and taking on all the risk.”

A lot of times, in a lot of design(art, architecture, instruments, etc.) you don’t actually need to have the reasoning shoved in your face for the depth to be added to the scene. Depth of design can still be felt by the onlooker/user without knowing the rational.

GM is one of the most evil companies on the planet. The damage they alone have done to North American cities is staggering. The only thing they have ever cared about is making more money and actual human beings don’t even factor in a little bit.

Stop voting “strategically” and stop whining about largely made-up NDP critiques. People will voluntarily eat shit just because they heard that the cake on offer doesn’t have any icing.

If they beat their scores from before that’s still an improvement. That would imply that this isn’t just slowing the degradation but it’s actually reversing it slightly. Only slowing would imply that their scores would be worse, but less worse than expected.

You have very strong opinions about this for someone with such a fundamentally low level of reading comprehension.

So the article claims that people can improve, and improvement is necessarily based on surpassing prior, personal ability, and you’re mad?

I didn’t see anywhere that they said that a 90 year old can get the brain of a 20 year old, only that it can still be improved at that age and we don’t need to resign ourselves to a degraded mind when we’re old. If we buy a new car it’ll never be as clean as it was off the lot, but that doesn’t mean it can’t at least be repaired and kept roadworthy later into it’s life.

And they’ll even admit it. They’ll admit to how bad things are and still do it. Conservatives are requisite morons and no, being “educated” has nothing to do with being or not being a moron.

What it would really take to end world hunger is massive systemic change that’s actually pretty straight-forward but is fought by every single person who loves a deaperate workforce and their insane conservative followers who believe that their greatest enemy is a hungry person.

All I said was that the DM should understand how setting expectations works, chief. And yea, to account for a change in expectations they may need to do something mildly creative. That’s not a rule and it doesn’t need to be anything special.

Big yikes.

You ignored the house rule option by being a baby about “ad-hoc rules”. And I’m the mess lol

Look, I have explained myself clearly already and it was obvious that you lacked the ability or desire to understand back when you snidely told me that maybe I should go find another system.

I cannot say a single thing that will work for you because your energy is just being contrarian so that you can hear the sound of your own voice. Pathetic.

Widely regarded as extremely pleasant, just not very tolerant of the immensely stupid these days. Just because you don’t have any kind of legitmate comeback doesn’t make your embarrassment my responsibility.
