My dad is genX and uses it the same way. I have explained it to him multiple times that it’s like sighing at someone.

All VWs are in some part a hoopty. I don’t hate the brand, though it’s one of the few I don’t recommend to people who don’t like turning wrenches. So many electrical gremlins and other weird mechanical quirks. Usually not enough to stop them running, but definitely enough to make them a hoopty.

Yep. Winter tires stay soft at lower temperatures increasing static and dynamic frictions in winter conditions.

Totally incorrect for both posts. A geo with winter tires is better in the snow than a truck on 40 inch mud tires. Winter tires feel like turning on the cheat codes when it’s slick. They have like 10 times the grip of good all seasons below freezing.

I drive on unmaintained roads a lot in the winter. The hakkapeliittas on my truck let me drive in 2wd until the snow is a foot deep.

The problem both of your opinions have is they ignore the baseline improved treatment straight white dudes like myself get. We get better treatment and preferential hiring just by existing. I’m not afraid to talk to anyone in the tiny sithole towns I go to for work. I’ve have so many people walk past my boss and talk to me because he wears a turban, or my other boss getting talked over because she is a women. These examples aren’t directly related to hiring, but you are blind if you don’t see the obvious advantages we have.

Altria, formerly Philip Morris, still allows smoking in their buildings as of a few years ago. It’s trippy to book a non-smoking room in the 2020s.

Dumb question, he’s not president yet.

This is my narcissistic neighbor’s behavior. He has 2 dogs, but he treats them like objects and not as part of the family. He absolutely hates cats for no real reason.

It’s a massive red flag. I had to help his ex wife escape from him because he’s a DARVO type abuser.

I only lurk on Reddit these days, but if old reddit goes away I’ll be completely done with it.
