Some of the conformity is safety. Cars today are generally designed with crumple zones, airbags, and other safety measures in mind. That leads to them looking similar to other cars designed with the same requirements.

There are still some beautiful cars today, but they are outliers. For example, I saw a Honda Prologue recently and loved it. It has a somewhat unique look that was much more obvious in person. And the Alfa Romeo Stelvio and Giulia, while bigger than their older brethren, always make me smile.

There are other examples. But largely, cars have become pretty samey and boring.

So self-absorbed that he imploded.

Wow, he ignored the flaws? I’m so glad for this new report, the plethora of previous reports didn’t already tell us that at all!

Summit County, where Breckenridge is, has free buses throughout and a free shuttle to and from the Denver airport.

Johnny was a real good kid,
But now he is no more.
What he thought was H₂O
Was H₂SO₄.

the end being neigh and all

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, and the horse said, “the end is neigh!”

(Neigh is what a horse says. The end is nigh. 😉)

Thanks!

Xenoblade Chronicles, especially 2 and 3 in my view.

And Halo, obviously.

Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps.

God of War (2018) and Ragnarok.

Sure they can. No doubt. But this one isn’t worth being upset about. Especially since being upset about it only benefits American Eagle. I can’t remember the last time I thought about that brand. Now it’s all over headlines. Controversy gets attention.

It also distracts the MAGA sheep from what’s important. Now they can forget about the uncomfortable cognitive dissonance re: Epstein and get back to the very comfortable “mocking leftists for overreacting.”

Just ignore it. It’s manufactured outrage.

Not an issue for us (Ford Escape), the heat and AC can both run off the battery, but the heat does cost a bit of range (along with chemical inefficiency at cold temperature), so range is significantly better in the summer than the winter.

That’s exactly what they want and we all fell for it because our society is predictable and stupid.

It’s a distraction. The response is a distraction. They want you angry about Sydney Sweeney so their base can be angry about you being angry about Sydney Sweeney so we all forget about Epstein.

(And also so they get free publicity for their brand.)

It’s just a dumb commercial. Ignore it.

Yeah, in the summer we get around 40 EV miles, if we avoid freeways. I do love the car.

They facilitated stuff for the various groups who got Federal funding, as I understand it. Meaning since there is no more Federal funding, they don’t serve much purpose any longer. PBS, NPR, APM, local stations, etc, those are who get donations as well.

Just be careful with the forklift, Klaus.

I’m pretty sure that story would get your visual novel banned from itch.io due to payment processor drama.

She lost to Trump. She should consider never running for anything ever again. That should be career-ending.

Just gonna be more and more turbulence as the climate crisis gets worse. Keep your seatbelt on unless you’re going to the bathroom. Or don’t fly.

No problem, I got there by context. How angry was your maternal grandpa? Did both parents get thrown out or just your dad? I’m fascinated by this story, like a train crash you just can’t look away from.
