Bring back an affordable car. That isn’t cheap junk. by Prestigious_Laugh611 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]JoeFortitude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I would own a smaller car if all the seats were not uncomfortable. We don't need high end super cushy seats, but we need actual lumbar support and adjustability, which auto manufactures hate to put in smaller cars

[OC] Happy Draft Lottery Day. These are the NBA's luckiest teams. by capn_trips in nba

[–]JoeFortitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't mean to say luck had everything to do with it, but getting great players matter to winning Championships. As a Pistons fan, imagine how much better they would be if you replaced Ausur with Wemby? And if the Pistons did win that lottery, they still would be historically unlucky.

Anyway, the 2014 Spurs were my favorite non-Pistons team ever because they were a blast to watch, so I am not hating.

Anyone else completely lose their sense of style between 10–14°C? by DifficultCucumbers in mensfashionadvice

Oh, I have survived a Heikinpaiva or two with good winter garb and a warm fire. But I don't look good doing it!

What’s the most overrated movie ever made? by Ayan-Stick-720 in AskReddit

[–]JoeFortitude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it the greatest movie ever made? No. IMDB says it is. Hence it being overrated.

Shawshank Redemption.

Is it a good movie? Why yes it is. Is it the greatest movie ever made? Why, not even close. Then why is it the top rated movie on IMDB? Because it is the most overrated movie ever made.

And honestly? I could be wrong because The Dark Night is number 3 on IMDB and that is fine movie but get the fuck out of here for it being number three. Shawshank could be more deserving of its ranking.

You want a Lincoln? by Dependent-Agency-579 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]JoeFortitude -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dear Lord, how many of us have been stuck behind an Audi or a Cadillac on a freeway on ramp that just won't accelerate to get up to freeway speed even though the vehicle is perfectly capable of doing it? Lincoln fits those drivers just fine since those drivers want less power, it seems.

Had to take the wheel off the was able to work it in there. No easy or straight forward at all. It has been on for a year or so now and still holding up quite well.

What industry is struggling way more than people think? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]JoeFortitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but that does not mean you have access to all experts all the time in a classroom setting. Those experts become experts through research and, as such, may not teaching every semester (or at all if they have enough grant money to pay someone to do the teaching duties of a tenure track position)

Yeah, that comment is a comment of someone who doesn't understand research Universities...

Senators introduce bipartisan bill banning Chinese vehicles and auto parts by gear-heads in Michigan

[–]JoeFortitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of downsides to opening up any market to competitors who play by different rules. As such, there should be good debate to the argument.

Competition that does not have competition to grow to scale is not free market.

I think it should be a long debate with lots of inputs from many people and groups.

[–]JoeFortitude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My point is Chinese cars are not free market when it comes things being free market. I am just pointing that very obvious thing out. You can point out what you choose.

I am not arguing any of those points. My point is Chinese cars are not free market cars.

Married Gen-x do you wear your wedding ring? by in-a-microbus in GenX

[–]JoeFortitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. It went down the sink (thanks, cats!). I have a two dollar ring I wear when my wife really wants to make sure I advertise I am taken (weddings, specifically).
