The worst part is that many of these people would help you if you needed it - if you were, say, in a car crash, most of these people probably would help you out. But...for some reason...extending that help to a more general sense just causes them to start frothing at the mouth.

I ride bicycles, and when I ride on Sunday mornings, I'm always amused by the thought that some drivers are probably on their way to or from church when they decide to pass me dangerously close, just for fun or to teach me a lesson or whatever the hell their justification is.

Yeah, this isn't an ADHD meme, this is a "normal human behavior" meme.

They don't care. The only way for a Trump aide to get fired is to mock them on SNL.

One of ours likes to climb behind our microwave now and then. Usually when he's in a mischievous mood and looking to get into something.

Years ago, when one of those emails with the malicious links was going around (I forget which one), one of our coworkers clicked on it. This one promised pictures of cute kittens. She later said she knew it was fake, but she was hoping she'd still get to see the picture of the kittens...

Oh this is hilarious. First, I own a Mercury and a Ram, so I'm apparently the best and the worst at having accidents, DUIs, and tickets.

But I think there's an inherent terrible bias in the data: "Our latest analysis uses QuoteWizard by LendingTree insurance quote data..." In other words, people who are regularly shopping for insurance. Probably because they have high rates, so therefore they are looking for better rates. Why do they have high rates? Probably because they have more crashes, DUIs, and other tickets than the average drivers.

I doubt that most people with normal rates go changing insurance companies regularly.

That looks fun.

I actually need to do that to my road bike wheel (though I suspect it won't be covered with mud). 13,000+ miles on the wheel, but during the last ride it made a weird grinding noise and actually slowed down the bike a few times. I'm hoping to open it up tomorrow or Saturday.

And let's face it, there are quite a few pickups around that have never hauled anything. But to claim they can't haul anything is just bizarre.

Not shocking considering what the original one was. (I'm assuming you mean the original author, not the person who created this version.)

I believe that the 2012 Honda Accord V6 we had was near the height of automobiles.

Quit laughing.

It had excellent power - 270 HP. It was comfortable and reasonably fun to drive. It had modern safety features like air bags. It didn't have any of the nanny driver crap that drives me nuts in the car that replaced it. It got decent mileage for a heavy V6 - on trips we'd see around 32 mpg, 25 mpg around town, day-to-day driving, in part because of the cylinder deactivation when cruising. Damn thing likely would have run forever if it hadn't been wrecked - at 8 years old and 100,000 miles, we had zero plans to replace it. And at that point, aside from regular maintenance, I think we had replaced the driveshafts and one lug stud that had broken (which was likely the result of someone overtightening it at some point, not a failure at the manufacturer).

I never thought I'd say this about an Accord, but: Damn, I really miss that car. A lot.

Maybe a 2013 to get the better styling and improved infotainment system; the 2012 was not a looker, and it didn't have things like music over Bluetooth, and the DVD-based nav system was dated when the car was new. But it ran and ran and ran, and I never had to worry about that car.

Since then, cars have become less powerful in a bid to offset inefficient SUVs and still meet CAFE, and they have those irritating driver nanny features with alarms blaring as the system misinterprets the situation and thinks you're about to crash into something. God, I hate the car that replaced that Accord. And pretty much all cars have those damn "features" now, so even if I turn them off, I gotta pay for them and carry them around all the time.

That era was apparently the sweet spot where you could buy a modern, comfortable, powerful, efficient sedan and still have fun driving it.

They're also listening to news sources that promote the bullshit instead of relaying actual facts. It's no wonder they don't know what's going on.

Twice now I've seen claims of "This instance just exists to support ! Defederate them!"

Meanwhile I'm subscribed to what appear to be completely normal, reasonable communities on those instances that seem to have nothing to do with the bad thing. Think topics like computer networking and home improvement, stuff like that.

Can we go easy on jumping to the "This instance" claims? Yes, some unsavory communities have been started on various instances. Those instances have, in general, addressed the issues when they were brought to their attention... Can we reserve the nuclear defederation option for repeat offenders or technical issues?
