My 2012 128i is basically the ideal IMO. Enough airbags and good traction control so I’m safe, can pair Bluetooth music, but too dumb to even update its own clock.

The only annoying thing is the digital dipstick, but I change my oil every 3k miles so it’s not a big deal.

I work in an industry where we use computers all day and this is painfully clear. I grew up with a mouse in my hand, shortcuts are hardwired into my brain. Watching someone right click them slowly move the cursor to copy, then right click and slowly move to paste, then slowly navigate to formulas then click refresh is brutal. It literally takes them 3-4x as long as it takes me to do the same task.

On the bright side, I only work about 20 hours a week and still outperform them, so thanks I guess?

This is ridiculous and absolutely nuts. I love it.

Reminds me of making cars to smash challenges in Forza horizon lol

lol my life is great, unlike those movies.

Nah, the new trilogy was just garbage. Not even garbage for Star wars, just bad movies in general. The inconsistent themes and storytelling of the first two left such a shit taste in my mouth I still haven’t bothered to watch the third.

I think I had a stroke reading this.

From what I’m gathered, you believe no at home DIY mechanic should be changing their own brake pads? It’s not complicated, I completed my first pad change when I was 16 with a diagram and instructions a tow truck driver wrote on the back of a takeout menu. I did the sensible thing and tested them before moving and again at low speeds in a parking lot.

I’ve got an incredibly sensitive nose. If you’ve used more than one spritz of perfume or cologne I literally can’t be in an enclosed space with you. My nose begins to feel like it’s burning, my throat tightens, I can only think of how to escape your wretched stink.

IDK why anybody wants to smell like a mix of stale piss, dead flowers and sandalwood.

I’d say you want a human CEO so there’s accountability, but I don’t know that’s even true anymore.

Ah dang, that’s awesome!

The older generations have almost certainly doomed humanity. We need sweeping environmental reform, a better education system, and to have something to combat rampant consumerism.

You don’t need a new car every five years. Your phone’s fine. Will festive mugs you use once a year really make your life better?

As I get older I continuously get more mad at the older generations.

Yup, primary primary primary. Get two of your friends or colleagues who share your views to vote in the primaries too. Remind them a month out, a week out, and the day before.

Not how I row lol. I’m trying to get the maximum workout in minimal time. I used to put on nature documentaries and go for longer, slower rows but with a kid I need to be done as quickly as possible.

That’s the thing about the Internet. You can try to spin the story however you want, but it’s never truly gone. Push too hard and you’ll end up with the Streisand effect.

Yup, but they actually built one in Vegas. It’s a joke. It’s two Tesla with drivers going about 25mph in tunnels.

Because it’s nonsense. We’re a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they’re selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.

Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don’t matter anymore.

America, fuck ya!.. Oh wait…

Sorry to tell you this, but your mouth is fucking broken.

(I really don’t care what you eat, but that sounds awful lol)

The right is a bunch of braindead babies led by whatever emotion their TVs and social feeds tell them to feel. Traitors to throw country and constitution. Despicable.

I’m from the Western US, they basically told us MLK delivered a banger speech, some people matched on DC and the country was cured of racism. We’re all 100% equal now!

Hearing my neighbor say “I’ve got nothing against black people, I just wanna own a few of em.” made me skeptical.
