I opted to sit in a running car 100's of times growing up while mom or dad ran inside to get groceries, mail something, or deposit a check. Nothing bad ever happened. The car was usually unlocked because I’d like to screw around and lock it just before they came back, you know, to be a brat.

I just don’t think there… Read more

Sometime after Bernie lost the Democratic nomination I think, which makes as much sense as literally dissecting a figurative joke.

I figured he just fell on his own because they say “cycling accident”. Looking at the picture of the car with the shattered windshield I think it would’ve been more appropriate to say “accident with a motor vehicle”. The title just makes it sound to me that it was user error on his own, falling by himself.

I don’t know where you’re getting all this information, but Yellowstone is pretty damn well managed. The hunting season is also very well managed too. This was done out of season by who the hell knows. You can have a system that is flawless in its implementation and all it takes is 1 asshole to do something like this… Read more

I don’t think they’re against statues of men that ultimately killed people but against statues of men that ultimately killed people in an effort to preserve slavery. Read more

Wow, that comment started as the common “why is this on Jalopnik” kvetching and ended as a pretty racist, personal attack on the author.

Can I wager a hypothesis here?

I think a lot of activists have made their activism a part of their ego, a part of who they are, that defines them. It’s not JUST something they do, it is them.

So if you’re an activist against white supremacy and you see a white person in your circle, taking up your cause, well to accept… Read more

I think pulling a gun in that situation is reason enough to suspend that officer. Behavior like that is flat out, undeniably dangerous to the public.

The fact he wouldn’t listen to reason and he was off duty and took such drastic steps just makes it all worse.

Not his BEST work, but they were funny and I’ve seen them a few times now. A little more brash, some bitterness, and maybe some ring rust, but I’m still pleased to see him back in it. Read more

All good stuff, but Daryl Davis, was he not productive? Did he not have success in his efforts? Would you advocate a one size fits all approach to protest and change?

Please, you don’t get to paint my ethnicity as a problem and then demand I defend myself. You’re the dude with the problem, you’re the one that needs to… Read more

Tell me more about the significance of my whiteness on my argument.

Maybe you should check out what black activist Daryl Davis has to say on fighting the KKK.

A black man may be more persuasive to you, but his whole thing is engaging and communicating with those you disagree with. At the time the NAACP even said just… Read more

UPDATE: that guy is dead. He didn’t have a gun on him, who the fuck knows what he was pulling out of his bag. Really unfortunate and really dumb all at once.

Seriously. How much easier would it be for Chinese or Indian automakers to jump into the US market if the standards for automobiles here fell.

Strict rules, operating procedures, and experiential knowledge are only advantageous in a system that values those things, much like professional work. If suddenly your employer… Read more

I guess I don’t put a greater value on a 4 letter hashtag than I do the content of a discussion.

I wouldn’t want someone who has good ideas, but did vote for Trump, to feel that the good ideas aren’t more important than the typical, us vs them shit show media programmed it to be.

I think it would be real easy for… Read more

I guess, but if the quality of the statement is good, then crapping on me if I were sincere with that one hashtag kind of seems like a dick move and if I’m sarcastic, then you’re just late to the party. I don’t see how either outcome does better than painting you as someone easily triggered and thirsty to rage. Read more

I hear he’s militarily qualified. I’m sure glad this is our elected leader. Without such strong military skills we may have concerns over unnecessary wars and sending our soldiers to them.

Sure glad people vote for president based on their trained/family leanings and not based on the quality of the decision making… Read more

I just... I can’t even comprehend going through life that ignorant. Read more

aww, someone missed the sarcasm, but we’ll just chalk it up to text and such ;) Read more
