  1. When things keep getting shitty, I see MAGAs taking this and running with it.
  2. I'm pretty sure they were smart.
  3. True. But seems like the other EV options are significantly more than the Tesla 3, which is cheaper than a lot of other standard gas-guzzling sedans. Thankfully I'm not in the market for another couple years.
  4. I don't make all of my purchasing decisions with an entirely clear conscience. But several years ago after my best friend was one of the few people I knew who owned a Tesla, I entertained the idea of eventually getting one, because I like to get behind decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels, he rarely had any maintenance issues, and it seemed like a pretty cool car. Now? No fucking way I buy a Tesla. But I'm skeptical that there are enough people like me who will make an appreciable dent in Tesla sales. I still see them all over the place.
  5. No, they were set to be transferred from the base. Check the tower logs, for Christ sake.
  6. Hey, Chris Jessie is on Surly!
  7. Yeah, fuck that guy, too.
  8. Correction:
  9. Danger-Jew is the name of my polka thrash band.
  10. Your response was received after the deadline, which is construed as your resignation from Surly. Thank you for our service, and have a nice day.
  11. They're doing what good patriotic Democrats do in the face of a rising fascist autocratic regime -- bitching about it on an anonymous internet forum.
  12. They are, but the walks are now two hours and fifty-five minutes.
  13. You just ran out of time.
  14. God has a concept of a plan.
  15. Way to go, Kyle!
  16. Thank God he’s focused on the quality of high school football. Education? Please.
  17. Why the hell would Bullock merit a lifetime achievement award? She’s nowhere near the level of a Nicholson or Streep who deserves some sort of lifetime recognition. I say this as a huge Bullock fan. I generally like her movies. And as a personal aside, I stood in line behind her at the Starbucks off 5th and Lamar in 2001, and, if consent wasn’t in the equation, I would have taken her as my wife then and there. She’s even more attractive in real life. And she smiled at me! But as an actor she doesn’t have a ton of range. She was Southern Christian Sandra in The Blind Side. Gravity? Sandra in space. Speed? Bus Driver Sandra. Not sure why any Oscar voter would give her a nod based on a lifetime of work. I really do think it was just a down year and she won by default, not because she has this great Oscar-level body of work and just happened to lose several years to other nominated actresses. And maybe a few Oscar voters have also run into her at a Starbucks.
  18. I’m sure this news means Mack thinks he’s getting the next call from Sark.
  19. I don't know what you mean by "eco chamber," but I agree with 100% of what you just said.
  20. "This. This is the face of a Putin bitch."
  21. The tears of 600 MAGA voters is just fine for an afternoon fix.
