Meeting new people is great if you ignore the part where you have to talk to them and introduce yourself and remember their names.

@anothercohen Dang man, so sorry. Did your eyes hurt with those drops?
Just curious, how long have you had it and what caused you to get them checked out?

@ericcarroll He was into all the new stuff, and I filled them in on the classics.

@NotTodayEric No. It was it's own fault it jumped out of my hand to begin with. He deserved what he got.

@CrazyVibes_1 I remember making two story zip-lines in the backyard, climbing on top of the garage and built a bridge to the neighbor's storage shed roof, made Wolverine claws with metal rods and a grinder, etc. That was around 4th - 6th grade.
Gen X as a kid was a lot of fun.

Dear Gen X,
I’ve been watching 80s movies and I just need to know…WHERE WERE YOUR PARENTS??
Every child was just wandering the earth unsupervised like a raccoon with house keys. Riding bikes across town at midnight, fighting ghosts, investigating murders, befriending cryptids, hacking government computers for funsies…
And the parents were ALWAYS “out of town” or “working late” while the only adult-adjacent supervision was some random 16-year-old who got dragged into the chaos.
No cell phones. No helmets. No adult supervision. Just vibes, life lessons, and several near-death experiences.
You all weren’t “raised.” You were lightly monitored feral creatures with a bike and unresolved trauma.
I’m genuinely shocked there are enough of you left to populate an entire generation.

@BowTiedBroke The best take I've seen is that it's basically a compliance tool to avoid environmental-based fines in the EU. That would explain Jaguar and these goofy luxury brand EVs.

My friend in the exotic automotive space just sent me this regarding the Ferrari Luce and Mercedes GT: “I was chatting with some Mercedes people at their event last week and journalists about why manufacturers keep dropping these electric cars that nobody asked for — and it actually makes a lot of sense once you hear it. The EU has this rule where every car brand’s ENTIRE lineup has to average below a certain emissions number. Not per car — the whole fleet. And if they miss it, they get fined like €95 for every single gram they’re over, multiplied by every car they sold that year. We’re talking hundreds of millions. So every EV they sell pulls that average down. Which means they can keep making the V8s and AMGs and ICE cars we actually love without getting destroyed by regulators. So that MB electric GT 4-Door and the Ferrari Luce? Those aren’t passion projects. That’s compliance math. The irony is those EVs you hate might literally be the reason your favorite ICE cars still exist. Mind-bending but that’s the game right now.”

Ferrari’s problem is that in just a little over 10 yrs they went from this to this. A $600,000 Prius:

The more modern they get, the uglier they get. I paid $135K for this used ‘08 F430 Spider w/ 10,000 miles on it. Hands down, the rear of it was the coolest I have ever seen by Ferrari. Their engineers should take a step back and return to what made them great: Sight & Sound.

@elkelk Did not know that about Oklahoma.
Haven't seen ash trays in a long time.

The lack of a challenge and lack of curiosity is where mediocrity comes from.
