It’s also somehow worse than old school apologetics from like 2007, at least those ones put some thought into it and generally acknowledged that society changed.

So I get what you’re saying but at least from my point of view that’s still too much unnecessary shit, mind you I think cup holders are optional but hear me out. The problem isn’t the touch screen per-se it’s everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist, and back up cams are all either unnecessary or in the case of the back up cams a failure of design. All a lot of folks want is a basic as shit car where the most complex thing inside of it is the door ajar light.

In many ways cars are too computerized they have so many points of failure that I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we see a generation or two being bricked because of another capacitor or CPU plague. That’s also not getting into their shitty interiors, I fucking hate my grandmother’s car but maybe Ford in particular is bad. Point is they have too much shit going on maintenance wise and frankly speaking lots of folks just want what amounts to a 2001 era car, enough electronics for maintenance while still being relatively easy to repair and replace hell for backup cams you could even have a cool popup screen.

But maybe I’m just a biased asshole who is a borderline luddite and only has really driven cars from the early 90s to 01, point is I will labatomize any new car if I am somehow forced to use one.

He shouldn’t be reproducing and much like my sperm donor should be nowhere near “his” descendants.

Honestly the funniest way for Musk to die. Bonus points if he is found floating down the Potomac without his pants, and just his pants shoes and socks still on. I do not know why I’d find it funny but I would.

Not just can’t get a bigger dick, it actively mangled his dick.

Now I’m wondering if there’s a notable combat advantage for having a built in piss tube or not.

Also there needs to be a distinction between organized religions with a structured hierarch and folk religions that are moreso a bunch of tennents and traditions that can be as localized and small as a single family or clan. For example damn near every American-Scots family who have been in North America long enough my own included seem to practices a type of ancestor worship usually alongside Christianity, why is that no fucking clue my best guess is that it’s due to a certain level of social isolation.

Or at the very least make it some different type of autism expression, give me the tired autist who is very aware of social situations but doesn’t give a shit anymore. Or even manic goblin autist who has found stability in a form of controlled chaos, no I don’t mean in a manic pixie dream girl sorta way I mean they shot put a fucken wrench through a wall to kill a fly that’s been annoying them for the last 40 minutes sorta way.

Unless you are a chemist in the 1950s and 1960s, that just means they need more LSD for weird and fucked up experiments. Also they used it all while watching The Thing from Another World.

but guns bigger, mortar strong

It also worked for Þjódhild Jorundsdottir when she refused to sleep with Erik the Red until he converted to Christianity.

Yeah gonna back you on this one, maybe I’m I’ve got a bit too much Scottish blood but the risks involved in it are too high and reliant on an inmate volatility. If ya have the extra cash to spare get a good pair of boots, tools, or equipment which are good investments the difference between a yearly replacement and a bi yearly replacement may very well be 30 bucks.

Also yes I am paraphrasing Sir Terry Pratchett.

There is a version of it that isn’t cognitive dissonance but, willful hypocrisy is kinda its own thing. Basically to use one I hold genocide is bad, I would gleefully commit genocide against the Seventh Day Adventists. These are both positions I hold and recognize make me a hypocrite, but frankly speaking I ain’t a fan of organized religions, holier than though types, or folks who piss off my family for a hundred and fifty fucken years. But yeah it can vary in severity of the hypocrisy and severity.

As an aside I mean the destruction of their culture and religion via the destruction of community, mostly at least id probably shoot at least one or two for being annoying but that’s just me being openl murderous. I don’t believe in hiding how much of an asshole I am, if ya know it’s a bear trap don’t complain when it bites you.

I feel like I’d rather take them shooting me at that point, especially if I can get at least one of them to choke on blood right alongside me.

Bit to Renaissance era, go with something a bit more akin to the original Greenlander colonists the humble Daneaxe do it at Eriksfjord for extra spice.

It’s the same with the Norse, its either a Nazi or someone who wants to bury a Dænaxe into a Nazi.

Also I know some folks who avoid politics like the fucking plague, not for any “enlightened” above politics sorta way. No they avoid politics because their usually mom was a fucking psycho and would shove politics into EVERYTHING. Air conditioner broke? Must’ve been the liberals. Grocery store stopped stocking miracle whip? Must’ve been Obama. Cheese grater handle snapped? It’s the immigrants.

Frankly speaking I suspect this is a larger cohort of folks than many realize. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if up to 10 percent of the population avoided politics because of trauma.

Sure but it’d be funny, we should build a wickerman! We can get the BEES!!!

Just get Maine to join Canada, far easier.

Eh don’t feel too bad, death valley will consume 10 of your countrymen by the closing of summer. Seriously there’s running bets on my area about how many Germans will die and from what, safe bet is 5 from heatstroke.
