you don’t pass in the right lane

Unless you're in Houston, where you often get passed on the right even when you're in the right-most lane.

I was driving a rental when I visited the Czech Republic. On the highways there the speed limit was about 70 mph (whatever that is in kilometers), but Germans frequently use the Czech Republic as a shortcut to Austria and forget (or don't care) that they're not on the Autobahn any more. There were many times when I would glance in the rearview and see empty road behind me for five miles or so, then seconds later I'd glance again and see the grille of a BMW right behind me with headlights flashing even though I was already in the right lane. Truly scary shit.

I'm a school bus driver and I love to be tailgated ... because I can't even see a fucking car when it does this. I don't know what these dipshits imagine they're accomplishing.

They never turn them off.

I've been trying to help my parents use Windows since the '90s. They still to this day have no idea what the Start menu is.

let’s be real men’s feet are pretty nasty

Yo, check out ballerina feet.

I drive a 2001 which luckily came with a CD player that was wired to use a 6-disc changer mounted in the trunk. For $50 I got an adapter cable that tricks the unit into thinking my aux device is the 6-disc changer. This worked great until I got my latest phone which doesn't have a fucking headphone jack. I bought an adapter but the top volume level is pitifully low, so I'm back to burning CDs to play in my car.

caused irreparable harm to the company as the whole product has to be redone from the ground up

Lol this is most projects for most companies I've worked for, long before AI came on the scene. Somehow these multi-year multi-million dollar disasters were never fatal.

"Trickle down" refers to urine, not wealth.

Union membership in the US was at 16% in 1991. Obviously that's better than today's 10%, but that spread is hardly big enough to be the difference between the presumed worker's paradise of the early '90s and the dystopian nightmare of 2025.

My cat used to wake me up by dropping half-eaten mice on my chest.

Make Age Gilded Again

What about those nice blankets the white settlers gave you?

If they do it quietly, they won't get the stock price bump every company gets from saying they're going to replace (costly) employees with AI.

Russia?

Saudi Arabia might take him. Hell, they put up Idi Amin for the remainder of his syphilis-scarred life.

It's OK - I'm only going to use the suicide cord for my fractal wood-burning project.

Fun fact: historians call Hitler's purge of Ernst Röhm and other brownshirts "The Night of the Long Knives". Ironically enough, Hitler used that expression in a post-purge speech in which he claimed that Röhm had himself been planning a night of the long knives assassination of Hitler and other Nazi leaders. Quite unintentionally, the expression came to be used to describe Hitler's actions.

Lol you rich kids and your cassette drives. I cut my teeth on my friend's VIC-20 which didn't have a hard disk or a tape drive (they were available but my friend's parents couldn't afford one). If we wanted to play a game, we had to type it in in BASIC every time.

Please. You're talking to a man here who ripped his entire CD collection into iTunes ... and then backed his library up on 1.44 MB floppies.

even his supporters might start questioning

Lol nope. Have you ever met a trump supporter who didn't have resentment towards higher education? I sure haven't.
