You are being downvoted because what works for you is not going to work for everyone, and pretending like it will makes you look like an asshole.

Yes.

It is an extension/evolution of the idea of ricing cars. Originally it was something like Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Basically stuff that makes your car look “racier”/faster, but does nothing for performance.

Edit to add - That is probably backronym to cover up for the mostly racist origination of that term. I can’t be sure.

I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.

I have seen the repeats too though.

This made me irrationally sad.

Death to allegra geller! Death to existenz!

I bet you also have a 4 digit slashdot id!

(This is not an insult. Quite the opposite)

Fuck all the way off.

I probably should have noticed that. I’ll chalk it up to an early Sunday brain.

I’m asking this in honest curiosity. Do we have a domestic car industry anymore? Does a Can-Am Spyder count? I might just be tired this morning, but I can’t think of a single Canadian car manufacturer of any volume right now.

“How did you do things 20 years ago” Is not the gotcha you think it is.

Nah. It says Alberta right in the headline. No need for looking elsewhere.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a layer 8 problem

Make some noise b-boys

When I went outside to feed the forest friends this morning, a blue jay with injuries that I had been hanging out with that was missing for a few days showed up.

I’m going to ride that high all day.

Possibly that is part of it. But I am not sitting here saying humanity is getting worse over time in general. Just that the value placed on some of the unwritten parts of the contract have lessened in value somewhat.

The concept of reading through a comment and understanding it before writing a vacuous reply must terrify you.

I didn’t say anything about morality declining or nothing meaning anything anymore.

I feel like I’m just repeating myself in every one of these replies.

People are no better now. Morality is definitely not worse now. Overall, humans are more accepting of each other now than they have been in most of human history.

My comment is only on the perceived value of a vow. And how that is tied to the perceived value of one’s word.

This isn’t generational, nor is it me saying the kids need to get better, because in fact I think the kids are doing very well all things considered.

However, these kids are also growing up inside a system that feels like it’s under collapse. Where the only true physical rewards in life come to those who easily break their word or do not consider a vow to be beyond all circumstance.

Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole. But I’m tired of waiting
