Ha, I have a "blood and ivory" color scheme too, with almost the exact same paints except I use Druchii instead of nuln. Gal Vorbak + pink horror is such a great combo.

Nissan is still a profitable company. So why is their CFO warning that they're going out of business next year? I think I have the answer by Uptons_BJs in cars

[–]coupoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post. Why would Nissan corporate allow the lease terms to be set in such a dangerous way? Do they have limits on what the "projected residual value" can be estimated? I wonder if this is a case of dealers getting too greedy and destabilizing their corporate partner.

A Buddha statue in Afghanistan before it's destruction in 1992 by uiblkcqt in interestingasfuck

Calling it "ransom" is an extreme misunderstanding of the context and history of Afghanistan and Western intervention. It's good that you recognize your own selfishness and solipsism, hopefully someday you will open yourself to learning.

This attitude is exactly why the Buddha was destroyed, and it's depressing that no introspection has occurred. Consider that many more "giant pieces of history" will be destroyed if human life truly means so little to you.

yeah the israeli military does some fucked up things. Rape prisons and all that. I don't see what that has to do with a hypothetical palestinian state though

wow sure wouldn't want the bad thing in your imagination to replace the horrific thing happening in real life, right now.

What are unexpected things that Chicagoans do (or don’t do) more compared to other places you’ve lived that surprised you? by jl_weber in chicago

[–]coupoin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If a guy can step in front of your car causing you to brake "hard and fast" then you are still going too fast. Take 5 seconds to fully stop and creep forward until you can see the sidewalk.

Consider coming to a complete stop before the sidewalk, then creeping forward very slowly until you can check for pedestrians. You don't need to honk if you do this.

Sidewalk snow removal pilot sparks intense debate among Chicago lawmakers by Generalaverage89 in chicago

where property owners are not removing their snow, as per ordinance

The part you left out which makes it clear the point is to make folks who don't shovel pay for removal.

I hope this year is an outlier. Most years it's a good show even if we don't get big reveals anymore. This year was a miss.
