You can fit 7 people in an SUV if they’re all going to the same place. You could say “isn’t that what a bus is?” but a bus has way more space, is happy to frequently stop, is much more fuel efficient per pserson, and is part of a larger network.

Basically never had that. I’m nice because why wouldn’t I be? And I don’t overwork myself because on the occasions that I did it only ever hurt me while some manager who underpaid me already got all the benefits. I do put in a lot of effort when I helping a friend or something and they really needed it and that was its own reward(but still take care of yourself, you can’t help others if you’re broken).

I don’t think it’s a brag, I think it’s just the AuDHD making it so I spend more time than most asking questions that authorities don’t like and my parents, especially my mom, were pretty decent about not being dictators who might send me the other direction toward a trauma response(which is valid and I have great sympathy for those that got put on that path).

There are ways out of it, but we gotta keep pushing and people who are lucky to be like myself need to make sure we stick up for those who don’t have this automatic response. It’s a privilege and using it just for ourselves will not only not fix anything but it will also, if you need a selfish reason, continue the trend of abuse that bad, defensive managers and the like will dump on us for just asking questions at our jobs.

They still would, it just wouldn’t have their name on it.

How would it know? Might be able to figure out that it has reduced braking capacity but most everything else could either just be seen as road conditions or require about a thousand pounds of sensors that may still not be able to figure it out. And that’s not talking about the person who will “fix their car” in the most unhinged ways possible, like the video I saw of the guy that replaced his brake lines with clear plastic hose.

I do all the work on my car myself, and can pretty confidently say that a lot of stuff just isn’t even possible to monitor. There are ways to monitor a lot more than we do right now but diagnosing issues is pretty complicated and without certain information it can be downright impossible. I took a friend’s car for a drive be auss he said it shook only when turning one direction and I nearly immediately clocked it as something loose with the outside wheel(it was the lugnuts) but for something like that a computer just couldn’t know.

Like the other guy said, it has the Grand Hub now, and he difficulty has always made sense(we’ve gotten good over a couple/few games and it’s still only high rank) but I can assure you that two Arch Tempered apexes are a lot of fun. My friend and I got rekt by Uth Duna and it took is a good while on the second try, very rewarding.

Also it’s totally ok to feel Monster Huntered out. Borderlands 4 is coming out and while I have ungodly hours in the first two and enjoyed the third well enough, I’m playing Wonderlands right now and it’s just “pretty good” despite me knowing full well that objectively it’s got cool new mechanics, a good story line, replay potential, and all that other good stuff. Oh, I’m also holding out for a 50% or greater sale because Randy Pitchford is an asshole).

We do things at the park. Picnic potluck things where bringing food isn’t really the biggest point so it’s more like snacks and things, and people know to eat before and after

And look, if you live out in the middle of nowhere I get it, but that’s not a “male loneliness epidemic” that’s just the reality of that type of living; it’s very isolating and if it is specific to men then it’s time to ask what the women are doing differently and give it a go.

I think their entering the road “caused” the accident. The other driver was definitely going way too fast and their “evasive maneauver” aas whatever the fuck that was but the Jeep was fully in their lane when it all happened. Likely they thought they had time until it turned out that the other car was going mach 1, and then it instead of hoofing it out of the way they hit the brakes(it’s not a stop everything button).

Speculation, but I’d hardly call stopping in the other car’s lane “frame perfect”.

“That’s not gunna happen!”

“None of it was ‘gunna happen’ and it just kept right happening anyway!”

They say it’s our thumbs and big brains that are our super power but I swear, our ability to pretend like everything is fine despite overwhelming evidence is something truly incredible.

Why? Because there are a bunch of people who do the bare fucking minimum and expect women and friends to fall out of the sky? I was going to say “low-quality” but decided that I didn’t like the connotation of that. “Low-effort” instead gives people a chance to put some effort in themselves.

Cry about it, I guess.

Literally the people who founded the ideology directly refered to poor people as dirt/dirty. Conservatism is a cancer on the world and anyone who supports is just a broken, anti-social fuckwad and/or deeply stupid. Just a load of obvious evil.

It is, and I’m genuinely very sorry that the USA and (most of Canada) is filled to the brim with such isolating and awful places to live. For what it’s worth, and I know it ain’t worth much, the answer to your question is at least partly found there.
