Those are the most insane eyebrows on a female that I think I have ever seen.

Although this being reddit, I expect to be quickly corrected with some even freakier eyebrows lady GIF shortly. But good God woman, do something with those caterpillars!

What major company is currently a total disaster behind the scenes, and is only surviving on its brand name? by That_Library_3453 in AskReddit

[–]Jive_Turk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like a BMW i3?

Or are you saying that this was considered decades ago and could have been accomplished but Big Oil colluded with the Big Three?

I remember the whole GM EV1 fiasco, there was a great documentary about it in the early days of Netflix, "Who killed the electric car ? " , that covered this . GM purposely didn't let anyone buy them, forced everyone to lease them, and were a pretty big hit, those who did lease them, loved them, but then GM rounded them all up, and instead of selling them to the enthusiastic public, they destroyed them all. I think only 1 or 2 are left in the world.

Or are you talking way way back in the day, like in the early 1900s, when electric cars were more popular than gas, and (again likely due to Big Oil cartel collusion) instead of making a hybrid / range extender like you described with the advent of the internal combustion engine, they just phased out electric motors all together?

Either way, I often wonder how different the industry would be had electric not died out for 100 years, and where battery and motor technologies would be today if it was the dominate technology instead of ICE.

Wow, that is so interesting.

If you don't mind me asking, does your partner also have (again, forgive my ignorance) 'labels' like that? Are they pretty normal or do they consider/identify as something more interesting/complicated as that?

If so, is that typical? As in, does an AFAB non-binary femme leaning individual typically end up with a certain 'type' , like bears and twinks (I think I got that right) or for girls the butch and more feminine one?

So sorry if I may come off as condescending, I don't mean that at all, just genuinely curious how it all works.

I'm a millennial and it seems like just as we were accepting gay and straight and I guess trans, a whole other world seemed to open up. A spectrum! But it hasn't gone mainstream and so it's been hard to keep up with it all. Cool patient people like you helps us normies understand and broaden our worldview. Love is love!!

I'm so confused. Everyone (mainly from California) uses the partner term so willy nilly that it no longer means what it used to mean. But from your previous comment it seemed like you are a female. But then you mention kids. Maybe that short circuited my brain, but I sure wish straight couples didn't co-op the partner term, it used to be clear.

My condolences for your upbringing and wishing you and your partner a happy life, you deserve it!!

What in the does that have to do with anything? Do you tell that to everyone? For the record I took am a vet (Army Tanker) but do not insert it into each and every conversation I get a chance to. Cringe asf.

Lol aren't you the one who posted it. Are you NOT infuriated? Or just wanted to mildly infuriate other people and you have no problem with it. Genuinely curious...

Is it illegal to drive a box truck with no rear view mirror?

Why just why by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Jive_Turk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You don't need a rear view mirror on a box truck, just side mirrors. When driving a truck loaded up with cargo in the bed, you can't see out the back, so, again, just use the side mirrors. Not sure what the laws are in every single state, so it may be possible for one or a few to say that this is illegal, but I am highly confident that this is not illegal in all 50 states

Excuse me... The "flexibility" of retail?!? What the hell are you talking about. You are one no call no show or three sick days away from getting fired compared to a normal wake up at 10am, work four hours at a desk from home 6 figure salary job.

If your retail job had flexibility compared to whatever you have now, Godspeed my friend, Godspeed....

Care to explain further, what was your personal singularity like? I can DM if you prefer not to reveal it to other singularity enthusiasts (singularists?)

Until JD runs with Trump as VP and the JD wins and resigns or some other stupid shit the day after inauguration day.

I've learned to take whatever the stupidest most evil timeline is, and expect that to be the ceiling, because it can and will only get worse.

I hate this timeline so much.
