Not once while this guy has been in the public sphere have I learned why it sounds like his vocal chords were installed upside down

Weird how faxing went out of style. Its honestly really handy.

I consider how hard it is for my uncle and aunt and her brother who survive her. Her grandparents on what it must be like to outlive a grandchild. And my own limits on providing care to those closest to her.

Grief is...above my capability

I was freshly agnostic then, and that limited my ability to provide care in the same way as my family anticipates. Typical of someone not believing, I'm feeling that sense of shame on whether prayer from me could've turned whatever fate around. *sigh* I'm just sad. She fought for so long

My cousin was diagnosed with brain cancer back in 2021. That unfortunately coincided with my depressive spiral and suicidal ideation. I had help, but I wasn't equipped to help back then beyond well wishes. The last I saw her was Thanksgiving of that year.

I had to call out of work for the rest of the day. I'm lucky my manager is understanding enough to let that happen out of the blue.

I had to excuse myself privately to cry. I was struggling to determine whether I could cope enough to stay active at work, but debating indicated that I needed to go

Fuck man, my little cousin lost her battle with cancer. Fuck

Fuck

A topic I'm not sure the car community is prepped to have is on what effect White-Eurocentric standards inform what the masses can see as high value cars and product.

Europe as a market has more diversity then the US yes, but I still think White-Eurocentric standards are what is orbited around for what types of vehicles are sold there and how they're designed. The homogeny of cars today can be evidence.

This is a take about the car community, not the auto market as a whole. Enthusiasts of cars vs general consumers, however enthusiasts of cars have a real market effect on what's successful, not in overall metrics but overall enthusiasm for brands and their adoption.

I think more than anything, the reason why there are 10 and 1 million European car brands, why dead brands like Chrysler, Lincoln, and Buick persist, and why so little variety exists in the automotive world stems from the priority given to White-Eurocentric preference.

White people will be the majority holder of every car model sold in America, and yet the prejudice and stereotyping of what race drives what will sink a vehicle's desirability among the car community.

Even what people are willing to adopt as cars based off what demographic they perceive as primary holders.

I'm thinking SRT Hellcats and Altimas, cars associated with Black drivers and thus rejected in a variety of ways beyond grounded evidence.

There is a degree of white preference that excludes and has excluded desirable product from non-white automakers.

The continued rejection of KDM and Chinese vehicles

The scrutiny of some lost Mexican market cars

The complete absence of African Domestic Car designs

Even JDM fans gravitated mostly around what white personalities adopted as their car of choice.

Do you think the Eclipse wouldn't become the most sought after car if that was Paul Walkers iconic ride?

THANK YOU SO MUCH
so excited to make this real!

A graphic labeled The Mood Meter with axes labeled Low Energy to High Energy and Unpleasant to Pleasant. The Low Energy/Unpleasant corner is labeled “Mom would be sad” and the High Energy/Pleasant corner is labeled “Let’s fucking goooo”

Markets ping-ponging between bottom left and top right corner every time someone schedules or cancels a meeting about Iran

The group, “Veterans Against Fascism”, was arrested after staging a protest inside the U.S. Capitol against Trump’s & Israel’s illegal war with Iran

This is a very specific joke for very specific people. I am people

Damaged film is life's real world filter

Reminded about the one time I saw a Mercedes SLS. This isn't the rarest car I've ever seen but one of the coolest.

I've decided that if a post starts with "lets clear things up" I should disregard if not avoid anything that post says

Yeah, bird poop is poop and piss. Plus we have fossilized poop from Dinos that give us a goodish idea of how it came out

Wait a sec I think this person took my screen shot of the new C-class's dash from my post lmfao

A little Bee took a rest on my shoulder while I was flying today. I eventually moved them to a flower bed near by.

I'm noticing though that they're doing the bad writing habit of not letting people explain stuff though. 2 Boots could easily be told straight forward that the Empire will take over and exert fascist control, but people really don't and he keeps looking stupid. Same for Lawson's son.

Latest Maul episode has some of the best lightsaber dueling in Star Wars yet. Dave Filoni has been slowly resupplying the Inquisitors with aura. I'm also growing to like Devon a lot, plus Daki and Lawson have great Dad Repor too.

They keep releasing episodes of Maul Shadow Lord in pairs. At that point why not just make 50 minute eps?
