Also: the reality is for example today I drove 60 miles one way and was 15-20 mph over the limit bexause I was going with the flow of traffic. Had I done the limit I'd gave presented a danger to other drivers by creating a speed difference. It also makes me less safe to do the limit.

I like having the puppy bowl on.

Democrats at least have factions and a sort of semblance of internal democracy.

Okay. I get it.

It's more a function that it's just far more rare for a republican to break ranks.

I mean ffs some dems were calling MTG 'based' recently. Gimme a fucking break.

Shop local or Costco. Risk is breaking robot mode and meeting cat.

I have never watched a whole super bowl. I mean. Maybe that one where the power went out was on my tv uninterrupted? But I didn't actually watch it.

Uh. The resistance blue dems also have the same tendency, in fact it is a common thing among all people to sort of only see things in these terms. I do not mean your take on the MAGA tendency or your estimation of dems just that this is a general trend.

I also want to see green day. I don't care for their music but I fully support them. I do very much like american idiot and will be disappointed if it is not on the set list.

I think this year is a classic match up..

There are two NFL teams in the super bowl this year.

Can we watch the ads with a critical eye and mock them??

I'm gonna go play Pokémon with my genius poli sci uni prof pal lol.

He always has very smart and very marx pilled takes on shit.

I think he is also going to wipe the table. He teaches game design and like game theory.

I understood that. Omfg. I understand this.

So. . I mean. None of that may be true: the point was it was like his second or third amazing merc he got for cheap that the previous owner had abandoned because of the prohibitive cost of maintenance/repairs.

I do like to learn! Tell me more about mercs and maintenance!

Bro. I am not an expert. It was hyperbole.

I don't even know if it was that car.

I remember him saying it was a v10 and the sparks and coils only came in to complete banks of 5 so replacing a single plug was impossible and he had to replace them all with the coils at once.

Shitting on this for example because ossoff is a democrat means you're just doing a team sport and don't actually care to critically think.

You've outsourced your thinking.

Either to a party affiliation or an ideology: either way you are behaving as a member of a mob.

Now the tankies yell at me and so do the khive

I think it's because memes only work with the most extreme viewpoints and there is no middle ground.

That's become the only understanding.

Okay. That is . . . Stupid. That seems like a virtue signaling hyper leftist online thing of which I am guilty occasionally?

I think there's a thing with online rhetoric where there cannot be nuance.

I mean: I can say that this is encouraging shit from ossoff and still think dems need improvement

Like I will still be forced to drive? It will just be bereft of joy at striving for excellence at this thing that like I have found some measure of happiness doing. It just means my life will lose more colour.

I mean. I even enjoy driving when I am in stupid traffic. I still have to concentrate.

I do unfortunately agree with @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Limiters on all vehicles would be the safest thing but ultimately that is an argument for only self driving cars and maybe I am a terrible person because my only argument against that is that it will rob me of one thing that makes me happy.

like. . . I'll lose my ability to get to work, my job and my house.

The 'you're a menace who is a sociopath' strawman is inestimably dumb but I mean ofc that would be the knee jerk reactionary shit from the virtue signallers on here.

I think about all of the sort of macro things while I am driving and pay attention to all kinds of details about every car on the road around me.

It's a disease.

I fucking love driving. Also: yes. If I fuck up and wreck or even get a ticket it would take that like joy away from me and also . .

Assholes and expect the worst but like I know when someone is going to cut me off because of their speed and like where they are in the lane, their level of confidence and so on.

Like I am incredibly switched on when I am driving. It is a crazy responsibility.

I am watching everything.

I have outrageous ADD. I don't know if this is a common thing but I can *tell* what a driver is going to do. Like I feel like I can diagnose their personality and predict their next move from the car's body language if that makes sense.

I mean I often just default to all drivers are entitled assho

Something something venn diagram something something

Thank you for pointing out the material conditions which proved my casual ageism to be false.

Such an interesting phenomenon.

I think a new grey hair just grew on my balls you made me feel so old.

Fandom does age with the artist I think. I remember doing NKOTB/BACKSTREET reunion tours in the 10s and recall remarking how the fans were all wine moms

It's not a bug. . .

I really like this 'fandom' death match posting.

FAIR FAIR.

And no I don't go swimming. Mostly because I can't trust other drivers? Someone else is not going to use their signal and we're both going to be fucked?

I can't get to a track. I mean: I am going this summer to open lap and am saving the funds to have a pro lap with me in the morning.
