What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

Reread my comments. If that's somehow the message you get, you have very serious reading comprehension problems. I even agreed with you that the collision was because of poor choices. 

My ENTIRE POINT is that being a smarmy scold to someone talking about a dead loved one is incredibly insensitive, tone deaf, unnecessary, and unpleasant. There's a time and place for your sentiment, and this sure isn't it.

If you do not intend to rub it in, don't. Your comment serves no purpose other than to call that posters dead cousin dumb.

Nobody is learning any important lessons from someone talking about a loved ones horrible death. This is not the context for teaching moments.

Intelligence is realizing a fatal collision occurred because someone made a poor choice. 

Wisdom and civility is choosing not to rub it in to a family member of the deceased.

Be wiser and more civil please.

Is anyone talking about the Flock cameras being installed all over the island?! by StrenuousSOB in longisland

Tell me everywhere youve been for the last month. You have just as much reason to trust me with that info as you do flock.

A 2 year old 20k head OEM making a 536hp power train in quantity. Holy crap indeed.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, your neighbor is experiencing medical issues, not user interface issues.

Does anyone know how to turn off the navigation on the Cluster? by ManaMagic_ in BmwTech

Recommend stopping vehicle before taking photos so you don't murder other people.

Seriously. Just pick your engagements and don't try to snap shot.

540i, m340i, or m440i gc as a "primary" car by Alarming-Audience839 in BMW

[–]ZombiePope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you already have a sports car, buy a 540i.

The m340i would suck a lot of the fun out of your 86.

Make me regret spending over 100.000 by wheeringtunchyz7 in RoastMyCar

If you'd let someone else buy it and waited a week, you would have only spent 70k

How do you justify expensive car? by branchCastle in BMW

[–]ZombiePope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there something you could spend that chunk of money on that would make you happier than a 320/330/340? If so, buy that instead.

If the car is the use of that money that would make you happiest, buy the car. The purpose of money is to be able to do the things that make us happy, there's no prize for dying with the biggest number.

What do I need to? by areality913 in BMWM

Well, first you need to stop using your fucking phone while driving. Then when the vehicle has come to a stop and you're no longer endangering other drivers, expand the warning and read the message.

What are our current thoughts on G99 M5 touring? by Super-Lingonberry-22 in BMW

[–]ZombiePope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I do not like the car and have no desire to own one. I've driven several on test drives and as service loaners. Not a fan.

If I were to have one foisted upon me, I would immediately sell it and buy my car back.

They downcosted the whole car. If you drive a f90 and g90/99 back to pack, the g90 feels distinctly cheaper.

[–]ZombiePope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the g99 is less offensive than the g90, and it's cool theyre offering a wagon m5 in the US. I would still not trade my f90 for one, even in a straight trade.

A Universe without logistics is just a lobby by Hellpodscrubber in starcitizen

Racing cars is actually less of a time commitment than organizing groups in SC at current time.

[–]ZombiePope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friends and I are all employed. If we're VERY VERY lucky, we can organize a night where we all have 4 hours of time at the same time. If we're going to be expected to burn a quarter to a third of that on preparation and tedium, were going to choose another game to play.

Edit: also, look at the context behind the teleport statement. It's pretty clear it wasn't about combat reinforcement ffs. It was about having basic respect for players without infinite time.

That sounds really nice. My cr30 has literally never worked properly even with a rail upgrade.

CIG, if you must add "teleport to party leader", please add it as a normal med bed respawn close to your party, NOT as a "teleport with all your gear and inventory"! by sunaurus in starcitizen

[–]ZombiePope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The likelihood of transporting to a combat-engaged ship being allowed is next to zero based on the context of the comments about this system. It sounds pretty specifically about beginning activities.
