The best part of driving a shitbox is that I don't have to care too much about it.

I miss my '87 yota... 2WD long box, 5 speed hooked up to a 22r. Hands down the best $400 I ever spent honestly. It was fully painted in bed liner and had two different side mirrors, one of which disappeared while parked at a friend's house over night, and a rusting box patched with spray foam (which always had moss growing out of it, no matter how much I cleaned or cut away). Sad times:

Destiny 2 is dead: "active development" ends next month after one final update, but Bungie says the MMO will still be "playable"

Dude I distinctly remember the day I logged back on after a few months away to find entire planets just removed. Literally played for 5 minutes until I got mad and haven't been back since.

Pistol Whipped Philosophy

Um... Let's take a quick look at the American military's track record real quick... They tend to lose when fighting a decentralized, insurgent force (VC, Taliban) which is exactly what the citizenry of the US would turn into if the government turned on the population. Not to mention, a ton of military personnel would hold the same values of said insurgency, meaning that, at best, some would think twice before attacking, and at worst they'll defect, bringing millions worth of fancy kit to the other side. I don't have a dog in this race (not American) but I think it's ridiculous to underestimate the capabilities of an angry populace.

"Millennial lingo" by Shen Comic
Reply in thread
Yeah, my GF and I were born in 96 but both in fairly rural areas so our experience aligns more with being millennial. I think it depends a lot on the context of your personal upbringing, but I definitely agree with your sentiment.

Do you think the word "trauma" is overused?
Reply in thread
If OP isn't American, school shootings probably aren't something to even consider... My thoughts go towards being treated poorly by educators more than anything. Bullying from other kids can suck, but in my anecdotal experience (outside the US) the lasting and impactful traumas stem from how teachers and staff deal with the kids.

Yup. Feels very much like Warp Travel pre-Gellar field if you put that lens on it.

Doesn't "bug" refer to the order Hemiptera in entomology?

I think it's because "usually" starts with a Y consonant sound (yoo-sually), instead of a vowel sound

Lol as a straight guy, that tracks. For me, I think it's that I'm comfortable with myself and who I am on the spectrum of sexuality, and don't really care if people judge me as gay. You're damn right if there's something funny to be said that happens to be gay as fuck, I'm just gonna go ahead and say it.

Why is that? You obviously have already made up your mind on the subject, seeing other answers. Were you simply seeking validation? I don't take problem with that, but don't outright reject the people who are providing genuine responses to your query. Given this is a largely anonymous platform, we have no context on what you actually look like, and you may very well be ugly enough that it has as big of an impact as you indicate it does. The advice being posted is valid for 99.9% of people, but you have to understand that we don't know what you're working with. On top of that, most of what is being said is also just good life advice to follow in general, even if it doesn't get you a partner.

Tariffs Are Unravelling the Lifeline between the Yukon and Alaska

Yeah, our closest ocean access is Skagway or Haines and with everything happening a lot of people are cancelling summer trips or changing destinations. A lot of the folks on the other side of the border are great, but it's tough to justify supporting American right now.

AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Pricing Leak: More Affordable Than RTX 5070?

Yeah, I bought my 6800XT almost 2 years ago for $600CAD on sale. Great card, but no way I'd spend the same to get one right now.
