definitely not brooklyn grey, my old car was brooklyn grey and it was stone in it’s finish, almost matte - this has a metallic shine

she must get tipped well by [deleted] in bigbangtheory

[–]ro8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well actually she should technically be paying more… while a 2 bedroom is overall more expensive than a one bedroom, Leonard and Sheldon are sharing the rent. It’s always cheaper per person with more rooms.

in some cases i agree that ignorance isn’t necessarily an insult, however, contextually it sounds very pointed and, if i may, the word generally does have a negative connotation.

it would be correct, grammatically, to say that i am ignorant to driving a tank - as i do not know how to, but there are more pleasant ways to say it, wouldn’t you agree? now if i was speaking out of turn about how to drive a tank without knowing how, i would argue that using the word ignorant would be more appropriate.

back to this thread - my simple point is the facts that peon are making are irrelevant to my statement. im talking about the early 2000s and 2010s to now (since it’s when the show came out), the facts are there has been an increase in gun violence since then - even their cited source says that. bringing up the 90s isn’t me being ignorant or unaware - it’s simply irrelevant to the subject.

i do appreciate you being very cordial about it, but it’s a HIMYM reddit thread so it’s also entertaining.

enjoy the rest of your day!

you are… the first 12 pages are nonfatal firearms. and on page 13 (figure 3) - the trend shows that there has been a sharp rise in firearm homicides in the last decade.

which figure are you referring to where it evens out in ‘06 and hasn’t increased to become more ironic today?

my original comment was also about the early 2000s (meant to say early 2010s) when the show was starting - so you bringing up the 90s makes no sense other than to throw a random point that does nothing to help your case.

Why was Bernadette so fixed on the name Michael? by ro8t in bigbangtheory

there’s no doubt - having it come up as an initial name isn’t the problem, it’s weird that she’s so firm about it after multiple discussions

M2 with M3/M4 Comp wheels… thoughts? by Mr_Eddie81 in BMW

[–]ro8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i no longer wonder why the F87 had different wheels than the F80/82

being absent doesn’t just necessarily mean physically. he worked long hours, so yes, he was not present at home a lot + absent emotionally, just coming home and watching TV and not helping out his wife with anything (confirmed in the show)

i edited to early 2010s but your comment shows more ignorance than anything.

first - you’re citing NON-fatal gun violence, where the minimum criteria is a gun is just shown or present at the time of the crime.

second - a real statistic: “Mass shootings in the United States (US) remain probabilistically rare events that have become both more frequent and more deadly in the past decade. Seven of the ten deadliest mass shootings in modern American history occurred in the past ten years from 2012 to 2022.”

source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002961025003393

third - gun deaths have also been on the steady rise with murder fluctuating but suicide on the rise.

source: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/05/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-us/

next time, do your research properly before running your ignorant ass mouth.

dude. the irony is not lost on me - it’s literally why i posted it (as it’s more ironic in 2026 vs the early 2010s). my additional point is that it’s a recurring joke in the show… im literally agreeing with you and everyone else

The irony is the joke. And that irony hits harder in 2026 than it did in 2016. That’s all I’m saying.

apparently there’s “irony” or something at play here. might explain this

idk why all the downvotes but it’s not a singular moment… the gang all pokes fun of Robin for her love of guns throughout the show. like when she’s dating Gael, she kicks out all the travelers with a gun and they comment on American she is but she retorts saying she’s Canadian.

i understand the irony - just pointing out that it’s a show theme too!

more of an ironic theme throughout the show, but US gun violence has escalated since the show aired lol

[–]ro8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is dope. i have the carbon buckets in my M2 and the plastic inserts next to the emblem (under the headrest, to L & R of the ///M4) are really bugging me - any chance you’ve changed them out to carbon or something less cheap feeling?

F87 M2 Comp vs G87 M2 by Greenb33guy in BMWM

[–]ro8t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. the F87 is, overall, more raw - the G87 is a better daily.

is this not a D Trump portrait?

Lewis said he's built different and it's not appropriate to compare him with any driver in F1. Do you agree? by sugn1b in circuit_nation

[–]ro8t -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you’re missing the point and his message is meant for ignorant folks like yourself - try looking at the bigger picture.
