Volume and model design reproduction accuracy.

Yeah, when they lost the war on terrorism, they surrendered their basic dignity in the name of security theatre.

Absolutely lawless country lmao

Outrunning the chopper is more about endurance. Or its a lotus carlton and it just… leaves the chopper behind and disappears into the night.

40RA was one of the most prolific getaway cars in britain.

Its because their concept of immigration is sitting in Mexico waiting for 20 years to be allowed into the US finally.

And because of American Exceptionalism, they expect to be an exception.

That and within the US, there are loopholes and gotchas you can use to get a visa faster.

These feel like a fever dream and I’m here for it.

I suppose that’s easy to do with a bit of chrome plated steel and a spring. But thats also like 40lb hanging off both ends of the car like barbels. I’d rather have the gas mileage and some scrapes right now.

With the way they keep killing people, I wasn’t all that comfortable getting a Model Y uber in the snow last winter.

I’m fairly confident you could drive most modern econoboxes into things at 5mph and come away with just abrasions on the bumpers.

Bumpers are for bumpin’ and we should have never let them paint them body coloured.

Do you know how fucking drastic shit has to be to get boring EU companies to be like “Yeah maybe lets entirely divest from the US tech stack”

We’re here. Hedgemony’s dead bro, the US doesn’t make anything we want any more.

President doesn’t have that much power.

You’d think…

more-stringent towing requirements than in Europe

it does make me laugh seeing Americans need a fifth wheel to move what I’ve seen a transit connect tow on its hitch. Or that time I saw a BMW 2 series convertible towing a caravan bigger than it.

That’s completely normal and safe. And Americans are lil’ bitches about towing, it would seem. Its either that or decades of automatic gearboxes zero tow rating has lead to the assumption you need a piggup trugg to move anything more than a utility trailer.

I’m fucking furious that the tankstation owner appears to have a dodge ram that I have to look at every time I head out of the city northbound.

I regularly fantasise about coating it in paintstripper, but a supersoaker would dissolve too fast.

Either that or finding a bunch of dutch language books about insecurity to leave on the windscreen.

What if the AI singularity happens and it turns out they’re just chill? I like The Culture series of novels.

Yesterday, I read a paragraph about a warship indulging humans in their scat fetish.

I wish I could be as disconnected from the reality of whats happening around us as these people seem to be, genuinely envious.

I would have less anxiety, for a start.

Mmm butlerian jihad, it is calling me.

Personally, I’m glad they’re almost dead.

Suits were a consequence of the professionalization of what would otherwise be trade workers. Most of those that put on suits didn’t get to get a union, either.

A software developer is a machine monkey, just in air conditioning and no grease under their nails. For some god damn reason they have to wear a collar and tie. This pushed most of the devs with career mobility to reject that and you get the sandles-and-t-shirt techbro stereotype.

Suits are too expensive to get tailored and off-the-shelf ends up looking a bit tragic on the majority that are compelled to wear 'em.

Fuck off beep.

For the love of fuck can you just fuck off already?

I just want consumer electronics to be fun and ethical again.

I want bright semi-transparent interchangable plastics and everything to use the same fastener (I’ll give them a pass on screw lengths, though if they were being bros they’d use different colours of locktite or paint pen on each length.

Society wont heal until semi-transparent colourful plastics are everywhere on consumer products again.
