It’s a fact that vehicles today are safer than they were 20 years ago

The difference in safety over the last 20 years is nothing compared to the difference in safety over the 20 years before that, and again in the 20 years before that. We’ve pretty much plateaued as far as (occupant) safety goes. We’ve somewhat regressed as far as other road useres’ safety goes…

Give credit where credit is due. Death race 2000 came out 4 years before mad max.

But you repeat yourself. (Hasn’t it been shown there’s a high correlation between morning people and extroversion?)

I would love to have deep conversations about all kinds of things, but I have difficulty serializing my thoughts and converting them to words so even when I find someone with similar interests, it ends up being exhausting…

It’s not negligible when running on battery…

I just think it’s funny that, way back in the DOS days, dark mode was the only mode, then GUIs and the web were the “modern” thing, and if you didn’t like, fuck you too bad… Now we’ve gone full circle.

Explode doesn’t imply combustion…

I have a .us domain, I don’t even remember what I pay, I only do it every 6 years, it’s so cheap…

Can confirm, was stabbed.

Only time I ever ate at an a&w was in Bangkok 25 years ago…

OP’s mom is not a small thing.
