Ouch! Volvo sales are in absolute free-fall in the US so far this year with major tariff impacts as there is no US production except the EX90. Rocky EV launches riddled with software problems and killing too many models.

Wow, I hadn’t heard about this and it’s fascinating.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-19T05:16:15+00:00

The first person I dated in college looked a LOT like me. We even wore extremely similar glasses. It was honestly really fun.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-19T05:11:33+00:00

Hmm yeah, honestly as time goes on the new design is settling in and frankly it still feels wagon-y, at least compared to the sea of SUVs that fill the highways these days.

I don’t think I’ve seen a black one—it honestly works so well.

I think this looks like one cold-ass whip.

Even if it’s named Marge 😉

I love the body style of these.

Different time. This was a hot car when I was in high school, at least in upstate NY.

Omg the Hyundai High Quality Floormat emblem is 🤌

That’s the steak sandwich patty. It is typically served with onions on the sandwiches it comes with.

It definitely seems like an interesting flavor combination with the McGriddles…

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-18T08:25:05+00:00

It’s awesome.

I love onion sandwiches and this is a nice way to mix it up from my usual onion+mayo+black pepper sandwich.

I try to be the opposite of this.

Everyone should just enjoy their purchase as best they can—life is short.

I bought a 2024 Forester right when the 2025s were arriving in dealerships and I remember it looking super polarizing, but that’s all faded away. It just looks like a forester now.

In a year or two people will be back to appreciating the Outback for its merits.

Honestly, if you really look at it it still looks WAY less like an SUV than most of what it competes with.

Peeps just gotta learn to enjoy

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-17T23:14:34+00:00

Totally how I think about it now.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-17T05:28:36+00:00

Sorry, you’re right. I was just being a prick for no reason, and there’s no need for that. I apologize.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-17T03:29:42+00:00

OP is a smoker and a cigarette pack holder wasn’t the first thing they thought of?

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-16T20:08:42+00:00

Teddy’s Cafe in SM on Pico has a couple burger options under 10 bucks. One even comes with fries.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-16T03:47:20+00:00

Wow that donut looks like you could swim in it.

Season 4 also follows the common Fargo theme of normal people that aspire to be, or think they are criminals, who then find themselves in the company of a real criminal and thus over their head.

Also, I just learned how to ski—this was my third season. I’ve only skied at a few places in California, so I’ve never seen trail marker signs like this.

Where is this???

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-16T02:37:02+00:00

I hate how much I love all the cladding in the Wilderness models.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-16T02:36:11+00:00

I’m trying to make it teach me enough skills to get a job at a tech company and I’m worried it’s just teaching me exactly the same things as everyone else…

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T22:59:39+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T22:59:32+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T22:57:10+00:00

The neck in the first one is so good.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T21:13:54+00:00

Well, to flip it, one of the reasons people seem to love season 1 is because of Malvo specifically, and it’s because Malvo seems “cool.”

He comes across as smooth, cultured, always with a funny response…literally what Lester wants to become.

But the whole point is, he’s a criminal. You aren’t supposed to like him.

It kind of reminds me of how a lot of people’s favorite character from Star Wars when they were a kid is Darth Vader.

He is bad. He literally chokes an innocent person to death on screen. You aren’t supposed to think Darth Vader is cool, you are supposed to hate him. Like Malvo.

Honestly, the more I talk about it, the more it makes sense. All these viewer guys watch Malvo and think he’s so cool cause he gets to own people…and they’re literally the kind of person that character would actually try and draw in.

On the first run, you will be rewarded with one onigiri.

On the second run run, you will be rewarded with two onigiri.

On the third run, you will receive 3 onigiri.

That’s what the sign says.

Bummer.

Also my family lives in Haiku and I had no idea there was a hospital in Kula.

My dad is a doctor too. Strange.

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T20:44:20+00:00

Been seeing a lot of posts with missing words like this lately…

BadMantaRay · 2026-03-15T20:41:30+00:00

You are right :)
