People choosing NOT to advertise with your business is not censorship ffs. Can this guy just take his billions and fuck off

I don’t see a walking back or an apology or an admission that he was wrong. I see him obfuscating and trying to pretend he didn’t say the thing everyone saw and heard him say. In addition to telling advertisers to go fuck themselves, repeatedly, he also stated that advertisers NOT advertising on his platform were Read more

Sure seem to be plenty of female pilots in the industry these days. And male flight attendents too for that matter. I recently had a flight with an all female “flight deck” crew and all dudes slinging drinks in the back.

Even if you can stick the fuel nozzle in all the way and make a seal you still want to do the 2 hand method. Otherwise a lot pumps will leave a nasty black ring around your filler. Read more

As a NY’r and Motorcycle rider I’ve encountered these. The trick is, with one hand you have to pull the sheath back enough to cause the sensor in the sheath to allow the flow to start.

Lol it’s a Bikini coffee shop. The state of washington has a bunch of them, and you’re paying extra for the “show” kinda like how you’re paying restaurant prices at Hooters for Tyson frozen chicken wings. He knew exactly why he was going there, what the prices were, and what kind of establishment that was. He CHOSE Read more

The fact that it’s a bikini/Hooters-style shop is KIND OF IMPORTANT TO THE STORY, WRITER. At least in helping readers realize that the customer is, you know...that guy. Read more

My only complaint is that she hit the wrong thing. Dude should have caught the hammer with his front teeth. Read more

Could drinking 32 oz of coffee possibly contribute to why this dude is constantly at Rage DEFCON 1?  Good grief that’s a bit too much stimulation. Read more

Like she said, nobody forced him to buy it. I brew my coffee at home for pennies a cup. He can too. Read more

He essentially threatened to kill her. I’m cool with what she did. Was it a risk? Of course it was, but she must have been seething with rage after all she had been through from this guy in the past. Read more

It’s an article about a car. Owned by a dude famous for “driving” cars in bad movies. And famous for owning a racing team. And famous for dying in a famous car. I’m not sure why this article feels so out of place for you on an automotive blog. Just because it speaks about how he was also famous for having a preference Read more
