So I get what you’re saying but at least from my point of view that’s still too much unnecessary shit, mind you I think cup holders are optional but hear me out. The problem isn’t the touch screen per-se it’s everything else reliant on it cruise control, lane assist, and back up cams are all either unnecessary or in the case of the back up cams a failure of design. All a lot of folks want is a basic as shit car where the most complex thing inside of it is the door ajar light.

In many ways cars are too computerized they have so many points of failure that I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if we see a generation or two being bricked because of another capacitor or CPU plague. That’s also not getting into their shitty interiors, I fucking hate my grandmother’s car but maybe Ford in particular is bad. Point is they have too much shit going on maintenance wise and frankly speaking lots of folks just want what amounts to a 2001 era car, enough electronics for maintenance while still being relatively easy to repair and replace hell for backup cams you could even have a cool popup screen.

But maybe I’m just a biased asshole who is a borderline luddite and only has really driven cars from the early 90s to 01, point is I will labatomize any new car if I am somehow forced to use one.

Problem with that hypothesis is that pre modern people treated death very differently with in many places it was quite literal and physical, for example in ancient Germanic societies they thought of the underworld as someplace only the dead could travel to as in the actual corpses went to the underworld at night and returned to their grave during the day. Hell we can even see the ideas of the soul being refined during the Hellenic period with most philosophers settling on it being an “animating force” which is vague but about right with the ancient Greeks. The idea of the soul is probably relatively recent IE middle stone age at the earliest, and probably evolved out of far more ancient animistic traditions.

Or at the very least make it some different type of autism expression, give me the tired autist who is very aware of social situations but doesn’t give a shit anymore. Or even manic goblin autist who has found stability in a form of controlled chaos, no I don’t mean in a manic pixie dream girl sorta way I mean they shot put a fucken wrench through a wall to kill a fly that’s been annoying them for the last 40 minutes sorta way.

Because you can’t play New Vegas all the time?

Maybe I’m projecting a bit, fuck it TTW is only about 20 percent installed for me who gives a fuck.

I think you need to Czech next door to Poland to find a Cz sound.

Perhaps

And this boys, girls, and the Eldritch entity in my cupboard is why the humanities are so important, if you want other examples go watch the Behind the Bastards episodes on the Zizians.

Also competent drivers generally know to slow down during rain. Hell I was literally taught to drive some roads like its a speedway and even I drop below the speed limit during the rain if visuals are bad enough, especially first rain pulls oils out of the road makes it slippery and may cause hydroplaning.

The birds are cute, leave them. They were there first.

At least in Far Cry 2 you are suffering from malaria.

I know there’s a lot of pushback of the founding fathers due to the general pushback against American exceptionalism but let’s not lump up folks who were generally positive for society with active leaches.

Also adultery is the least of both their crimes, it just happens that as a politician, legal theorist, and scientist there’s a lot that Benjamin Franklin did that helps give some positives to him. He was a shit person in many ways, but he was still decently intelligent. Trump is just shit with no respectable qualities and nothing to offer mankind except misery.

Harry was from Surrey doesnt count.

Im a Californian I am just talking shit with no backing.

Most of them predated the Nazis, the rocketeer community was thriving in the Weimar Republic. Also fun fact my great grandfather was part of one of the R&D projects that worked on V1s and V2s, his notes were looked over by Von Braun after the war. He got an angry thank you letter because my great grandfathers notes were basically him insulting the engineering and material quality while making suggestions for improvement.

Edit: I failed to mention my great grandfather was in the US Navy, he was in Florida at the time he wrote the notes I think.

I vote cabbage. Not for any reason besides the fact that darwin calls them a race in origin of species.
