  38. The sheeeeeer amount of missed opportunities is so messed up. Could've used Spartan Locke for crying out loud. They should've just done "Halo Forerunners" if they wanted to rewrite the franchise. We had dope lead female characters in Halo. Everybody was represented equally. Foe Hammer was a main stay and bad ass female pilot. In Halo 3 we got Michelle Rodriguez as a voice over for a female UNSC. Dr. Anders in Halo Wars. Kelly was just as bad ass as John in fact beating John in training. Linda was the best sniper/shooter. Cortana is supposed to be a 3D hologram not some chick with a damn blue overlay and no fucking source code 😤 Plenty of female leads in Halo Reach. All I'm saying is they could've chosen Halo Wars, Halo ODST, Halo Reach, Halo Wars 2, Halo Spartan Assault, 30 damn Novels, Halo Forerunners. Red vs Blue 😤 broooo, Monty Oum, God Rest His Soul 🙏🏾 this man built an original Halo universe with the guys from Red vs Blue which started as a talking head comedy. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Tell the story of Dr. Halsey. Tell the story of the Covenant, specifically an early Arbitar. A Gold Elite, the White Elite commander and how he lost his mandable. The creation of the Flood. 343 Guilty Spark, the failed Spartan projects where those Spartans were big asf. Linda story could've been told, her story I thought was dope. Again Halo Legends created several original shorts, all dope asf. Shit they could've copied the Mandalorian and had John looking after a child clone. An original story about Sarge before he became Sarge.

  54.  @richardle5464  In certain parts of the US you can literally be arrested for saying profanity to a police officer which is why I said, "just a general rule of thumb." Now, I'm no Lawyer or Attorney however there's many whom handle these types of issues so I'll make it easy for you, and everyone else. Oh and if you come to Virginia, I strongly suggest you keep your tongue and that of any associates you may have in check. Those officers were being NICE 👍🏾 Unprotected Speech There are categories of speech that are explicitly not protected. These free speech exceptions may be deceptively easy to tick off on a list, yet confoundingly nuanced in how they are applied. Often, it can come down to interpretation. And despite federal constitutional jurisdiction, states and even local municipalities can have their own spin on what constitutes “disorderly conduct.” Where you are can make all the difference whether you can be legitimately arrested and charged. There have always been recognized limitations on speech. Generally, you cannot make statements that incite illegal activity or imminent violence (“fighting words”), and it is acceptable for laws to restrict speech considered obscene, defamatory, or creating a foreseeable risk of harm. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of grey area. Further, not only what and how you say something, but where is critical. The shelter of the first amendment does not extend to private spaces, such as shopping malls or on the internet (we may think of these as modern-day town squares, but they’re not—somebody owns them, and can establish their own limits). And when your words are accompanied by gestures or actions perceived as threatening, the speech itself is no longer protected by the First Amendment.   Anti-Profanity, Obstruction, and Disorderly Conduct Laws Local laws and cultural standards may support broader limitations on expression. For example, several states have anti-profanity laws on their books, including in Virginia, where it’s a misdemeanor to “curse or abuse” anyone, “under circumstances reasonably calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.” Within that state, local municipalities such as Rockville go further to restrict profanity within hearing of any other person on any public street or sidewalk. Similarly, some states use statutes regarding disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace as a vehicle to limit language considered offensive. For example, Texas’ disorderly conduct statute includes using “abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place.” If convicted, a Texas disorderly conduct misdemeanor may be punishable by a fine of up to $500. Conversely, the state of Washington has determined that cursing and using abusive language against police is protected speech under the First Amendment, and does not constitute sufficient conduct to support a charge of obstructing law enforcement. In State of Washington v. E.J.J., the case mentioned at the start, the Washington Supreme Court dismissed the matter, stating that “obstruction statutes may not be used to limit citizens' right to express verbal criticism, even abusive criticism, at police officers.” In Florida, courts have found that “mere” yelling or swearing that is loud, belligerent or annoying is not enough to support a disorderly conduct conviction.

  73. I think her issue is not understanding the technology, weapon's and clothing. As well as no comprehending the power of the Black Panther which gives it's user superhuman strength, speed, agility as well as a healing factor and access to previous Black Panthers and the ancestral plane. It's what gave T'Chala the ability to run along side cars, pick a cars, rip a wheel from a truck, withstand grenades, base jump from 10,000ft, withstand bullet's, toss a 6,000lbs Rhino with vibranium armor and survive a crashed Wakandan jet. T'Chala is 6ft, 180lbs. Shuri is 5'5, 100lbs. Your size and weight doesn't matter if you have the power of the Black Panther as well as the Black Panther suit which enhances all those attributes similar to Tony Stark's armor with out flight. Peter Parker is 5'8" 140lbs and is far stronger than T'Chala, Captain America and Winter Soldier. The Dora Milaje consist of only 16 highly trained female assassin's. Just 16 not an army, who are the Kings Guard, and they're not affiliated with any tribe. They're uniforms are made of Vibranium meaning taking a bullet is the equivalent of someone throwing a peanut at you which is the same for punches unless attacked with vibranium weapons or attacked from the neck up or hands or arms if not covered. The Golden Tribe aka Panther Tribe. They're the Royal family descendants of the first Black Panther Bashenga. The tribe has always held the mantle of Black Panther. They're similar in history to Egypt and specialize in modern technology, nano and vibranium tech. T'Chala is a Oxford graduate earning a PhD in physics. Eric Killmonger a MIT graduate. Shuri is a born genius but also studied under her brother and learned to fight from him. The Jabari Tribe/Village has a army of men and are vegetarian farmers living in the mountains. Keep in mind Wakanda is secluded even from the rest of the continent of Africa so they have a self sustaining eco system, even Namor makes mention of the pristine air in the new film. They also worship Hanuman the Gorilla God, not the Panther Goddess Bast. Which is very a important point, b/c we'll likely see Hanuman in the next Black Panther movie. The Border Tribe has a army of men, Rhino's and live stock. Responsible for protecting Wakanda land borders. The River Tribe has a navy of men and fisherman. They commanded the ship. Also Nakia is from the River Tribe and she's considered a spy aka war dog. The Mining Tribe are mostly farmers and are loosely based on the Himba Tribe. They mine vibranium. They may have been the tribe protecting Queen Ramonda looking at there hair style. (I previously thought Water Tribe.) The Merchant Tribe have warriors and are loosely based on the Tuareg people of the Saharan and Sahelian regions. These people are into arts and clothing design. They're a collection of several tribes. Riri Williams is a black African American teenager/young woman who studies at MIT. In Marvel comics she's considered one of the smartest characters being a super genius at 5. She's ranked #10 in intelligence among Marvel superheroes only just behind Shuri and just ahead of T'Chala. Tony Stark and Bruce Banner Hulk out rank both for added context. I think at someone Shuri surpassed Tony.

  87. No offense Aba and Preach but the stats are not indicative of reality. Those statistics were cherry picked to favor women b/c women have less fatal accidents then men. Men driver rate is 60% while women account for 40% drivers. Those stats don't account for side swiping, cutting off drivers, tail gating, head on, vatiences crossing other driver's paths. Women crash at 5.7x per million miles, men crash at 5.1x per million miles. Also it doesn't account for age either. Boys start off as bad drivers compared to girls, that equalizes between 20-35 but after 35 for some reason women are at a greater accident risk then men and that was a study done by John's Hopkins University. Also old people who crash are more likely to die in an accident then younger and older men drive more than older women. On top of that, the driver is at a greater risk of fatality then any occupants. Those sitting behind the front row have the highest survivability. Also vehicle choice is big reason why people die. There's only a out 9 cars that are actually safe. One was a Lexus SUV, VW Golf and a C- Class are the ones I recall that have a 0 driver fatality rating meaning no one died in one yet. It was based on a milage scale. What's also not accounted for in those statistics is out of state travel, which accounts for a good amount of fatal accidents. Globally woman are worse drivers. My personal experience, I've been driving since I was 12, now 37. 0 Accidents, 1 ticket (driving w/o front plate on new car 🤷🏾‍♂️). My dad is retire bus operator and instructor. 0 Accidents work and personal 🤷🏾‍♂️ and he's put over 5m miles on the road. I have an uncle who's a retired trucker, 0 accidents over 9m miles OTR. My grandfather before he died had a fleet in NY, 0 accidents. My mom has had at least 3 accidents inside 20yrs from the time I was born in 85. My oldest sister wrecked her Mustang, scared her so much she stopped driving all together. My other sister has had at least 5 or 6 accidents and I've witnessed her texting while I'm in the car nearly hit like 4ppl needless to say I'll never ride with her again. Lost my first cousin in an accident after argument with her mom senior year. Two of my older brother have 0 accidents both have been driving since 16. All of my aunt's now that I think about it have been in accidents. That's not to say the men in my family are perfect because I've lost guy cousins on motorcycles. What all this does say though is, those specific statistics the guys brought up are literally a way to increase insurance rates on those who drive more often, when it should be the opposite. If you drive less and have less experience on the road, you're literally a moving hazard in the REAL WORLD.

  90. I disagree, here's why. Big 2 "parking priority" and "HOV Lane access" Business owner tax deductions. Currently, US business owner's who purchase a hybrid, +6000 GVWR vehicle can not only get a 100% tax depreciation on the vehicle but a bonus as well. Now for this SUV you can only max out up to $25k but with Federal & State tax incentives you get additional deductions and if you buy it brand new you'll get 50% bonus depreciation. There's some other deduction you can take on regarding the hybrid system. So instead of paying for a brand new $85k Porsche Cayenne Hybrid they may only pay $30k-$50k depending on options. They're buying it as a performance family hauler that has dual purpose for winter performance driving and over high waters. I stay in Annapolis, MD and we have high tides all the time off the East Coast. Many owners have weekend high performance cars they put away for winter. As much as I dislike SUV's they do provide a utility that an Estate car cannot and many prefer not to purchase a truck b/c a wagon is more practical for mundane family usage around town. There's no shortage of Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Porsche SUVs around town especially considering most residents own boats, yatchs, or some sort of water craft. Something like this is easier to maneuver around town on the small side streets, parking lots, back roads and gated communities. Personally I've only required a 4x4 for one occasion which was a steep icy hill that had I not used 4L, I'd slide back down like all the other cars. With in car Navigation I've been able to reroute myself incase of road closures, high water or downed trees. But saying it's for those very few minute things I think is invalid, b/c this truck has the same capacity as a Mini, Kia Soul, or other small SUVs but sits higher and out performs most sports cars or anything on the road in bad conditions. The #1 (I'll list these 2 atop) reason I can think of is a hybrid while less practical actually has an advantage I never hear spoken online. That's "parking priority" and "HOV Lane access". You get to park upfront next to handicap spaces if they have charger's. You get priority parking in parking garages at apartments or city area's. Priority parking at parks, amusement parks, and national parks. You get a HOV lane and don't require a passenger so you save way more time in a hybrid if it's how you commute to work especially if you used it to drop off your kids at school and have to drive from Annapolis to D.C. which takes 1hr in rush hour traffic without the HOV lane. Obviously you shouldn't speed but 9 out of 10 times you can get away with pushing 80-90mph cutting your time from 60min to 25min and vice versa coming back home and having to do it again. 120min vs 50min is a big deal when you add that over 1wk, 1mo, 1yr or 10yrs, that's a lot of time better used than sitting in traffic being no use to anyone. I don't know about anyone else but 250min vs 600min in a week is massive. 28,800min being cut by more than half is huge. So my big 3 is Time, HOV access, and Priority Parking. Even parking you save time vs having to park far away they give you a spot only other hybrids or EVs can access. Imagine being an older man or woman but not quite a senior with children and a full time corporate job working on the East Coast or all 4 Season area with high population. Just think how quickly you can get to an Airport if there's an accident on the road and the HOV lane is open. Personally for me I'd not get the panaramic roof, sun roof or carbon roof and instead would option a roof rack and trailer hitch. Porsche's are known for being one of the best trailer vehicles due to it's smooth ride and handling. Add a roof rack and now you can haul ass to a airport, ski resort or summer vacation and not sit in a bunch of traffic with a 50% discount + whatever you negotiated and have Porsche reliability and performance and value (low depreciation).

  124. It's a Sports Car. Doing an 11s quarter mile doesn't make your car a Super Car. Speed doesn't make your car a Super Car alone. The interior of the R35 alone keeps it out of the Super Car conversation. Both materials and rear seats. A 911 is a sports car. A 918 is a super car. (see the difference) A McLaren P1 and LaFerrari are Super Cars. A McLaren F1 is a Super car. A Carrera GT is a Super car. A Lamborghini Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, Aventador, Galardo, Huracan are all Super cars. A Ferrari F40 is a Race car. A Bugatti Veyron and Chiron is a Hyper Car. A McLaren Speedtail is a Hyper car. A Mission X is a hyper car. A Koenigsegg Agera, Regera, Jesko are hyper Cars. A Lamborghini Centenario is a hyper car. A Model S is a Sedan. A Ford GT is a race car. A Koenigsegg One: 1 is a mega car. A Challenger is a Muscle car (technically a Pony car). A Charger is a Muscle car (technically a Sports Sedan, improperly called a Muscle car) A Mustang is a sports car (Technically a Pony car, and improperly called a Muscle car since the 80s) A Mustang GTD is a race car All Camaros are sports cars. They haven't been muscle cars since the 70s. A C7 base/ZO6 is a sports car. A C7 ZR1 is a super car. A C8 base/ZO6 is a sports car. A C8 ZR1 is a super car. A C8 E-Ray is a POS. A E-Tron GT is a POS. A Taycan is a POS. A Dodge Viper SRT, GT, GTC, GTS, are sports cars. A Dodge Viper ACR is a race car. The only time an American car is called a Muscle car these days is for marketing convenience. These days they're too small, and too expensive. Only the base model Challenger is close to being a muscle car. A bunch of these terms are used loosely and interchangeably among cars, mostly just for marketing and click bait. Like there's only a handful of actual Hyper cars. Most should be called 1 offs, concepts or just super cars. We're now just getting into Mega cars but imo if they don't fit in with or exceed the Koenigsegg One:1 they're just a super car to me. Mega car, and Hyper car should be for extremely rare cases. Sports car and Super car should be for the majority of these high end high power vehicles, b/c they sell too many. I'm fine with Muscle car being used for the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, but not the Charger, it's a 4 door sedan, and it's puny compared to a real Charger. 😅

  155. Great video guy, fucking great. I tried explaining this to a kid who was looking to buy his first car. He wanted a Mustang. I was brutally honest with him and told him he'd most likely wouldn't make it pass 21. I directed him towards FWD or AWD first just to get used to being on the road, seeing signs, seeing people and understanding how to recognize driver patterns to see accidents before they happen. Distracted drivers, etc. Driving in the rain and snow. In MD we get ice. In certain areas you literally can't drive anything but a high clearance vehicle due to high tides where we get regularly 2ft - 4ft of standing water. Shit sometimes 5ft depending on where you're standing. Downtown literally just becomes a canoe zone or for lifted trucks with snorkel's. Young driver's at least use your first year of driving behind a fwd car, literally just to get your mental right. RWD cars are less forgiving to rookie mistakes. Tires, *****Gearing*****, Weight reduction, Fuel, Brakes, Brake fluid, Trans fluid & Cooling, Wheel size and removing energy drainers. Bigger wheels are slower. Anything 18" and lower. Tire profile is important for COMPRESSION. F1 literally only just switched to 18" from 13" wheels just for cosmetic reasons to build the fan base more. The fastest cars on the planet use HIGH PROFILE tires. Dragster, 6s Street cars, F1 cars, Nascar's, Trophy Trucks, Rally Cars that accelerate faster than every track car on the planet that's not on a dragstrip. Aside from bigger brake rotors, there's no reason for big wheels.

  191. Alright this is about the one time I completely disagree with Doug. Bro no fucking SUV should appreciate in value especially not built in the 90s. The 996 is a nice 911, I loved the Ruf on PGR but it's still a bottom feeder, let it go. 🤦🏾‍♂️ Bro stop tryna hype these cars, they are where they are for a reason. None of those 90s, or early 2000s will go up in value b/c they were mostly molested by terrible 3rd owners and they all had problems. Especially the Subaru models, all terrible head gasket failures. Miatas are bottom feeders, way too many and most were driven a shit ton of miles, tracked of modified. Again no way a Land Cruiser going up high and it's too many of them. The entire market will go up due to Electrification by 2030 but that doesn't mean they are worth it. Don't buy CIRCLE headlight Mercs from the 90s or 2000s due to terrible electrical issues, you're basically buying a time bomb, we already know this and not to mention the power those AMG have are what stock models today have, just don't. Audi is the least reliable German brand and that era was the least inspiring designs. Ok you made a good pick with the M3 but like you said, they sold a lot. A shit ton were moded and they have rust problems, and they all grenade or leak like hell. Vipers you got correct. All Vipers are bullet proof even when beat on. As long as you did basic maintenance which was cheap as hell they don't break. The E63 was amazing, it's one of the most balanced BMW cars you can buy and it still has great styling in contrast to today's. They are race cars for the road and were icons for their era however they are just as dangerous as a early Viper. They will kill you if you don't respect them regardless of driver skill. Do dumb shit on public roads, you will fucking die and most likely kill others, just buy a Miata.

  203. Well since Hyundai is pretty much copying all manufacturers, they need to change things because, Genesis is pretty much taking the looks and materials and selling at less than a quarter the cost. The GV80 literally just needs the fancy headlights and it would supercede the Bentayga. Bentley, Roll Royce and Mercedes-Benz have Identity crisis. AMG is saving Mercedes behind in design but all 3 while they create timeless designs are going to need new designs and they need to do them in multiple different ways to split Hyundai and Genesis and others from copying. I mean right now Mercedes literally is designing Honda Fits and trying to sell iPads at a 3000% mark up 🤦🏾‍♂️ Like Mercedes-Benz we can see you 😭 As for Bentley, they are amazing. But they will need to take the design up a notch. Yes they imo have the best interior's which are still fresh, safe and have new technology. Aside from Bugatti not many manufacturers know how to design interiors these days with new tech. Ferrari, Pagani and Rolls Royce come close. They have a customer base specific to their own b/c of cost and refinement. I'll be in the market for a Bentley in roughly 5 to 8yrs. I'm currently in a Mercedes and will step up to a Bentley possibly. I know personally I won't have any chrome trim 🤢 Current cars don't look good with chrome and that's all manufacturers, like please stop or go back to designing cars as art. If not please stop because, it just looks tacky at best. If you look at Alfa Romeo you'll understand what I mean. Clean beautiful designs, no cheesy chrome. A c-pillar or window trim chrome is ok but grill, headlights, bumpers, taillights, please just stop.

  269.  @lionellhwang5153  yes w/Wings open it has a similar footprint. V280 cannot collapse it's wings for storage or transport even if it can ferry empty for forward operations. SB-1 is likely to also be picked up by a military/medical branch, especially around the world as it's a plug & play system to the Black Hawk said by exec's, test pilots, etc. even being little taller. They both do things better than the other, like V280 Ferry distance, but even Valor hasn't met the requirement yet of 2,440NM one way unrefueled. It's projected to lift over 13,000 lbs but neither have yet and the Utility demo version was only rated for 5,000 lbs. Based on history the V22 isn't a good underslung carry platform. Bell thinks they've corrected that by rotating the engines and fixing the clutch problem. Even with it's higher speed both have roughly the same combat range around 700 NM with Valor being slightly faster at 280 Knots and Defiant 250 Knots. Valor has reached the required 300 Knot speed but it's range is lowered to I think 500 NM. Fell the test pilot said, SB-1 can go faster when it's new engine is installed. But like Valor may lose more range even with a more powerful and efficient engine. There's other factors as well like heat, weight, structural integrity, etc on both. He made it clear that the speed target isn't the issue for them. Suggesting the design can exceed 300 KT. I think it's range at that speed will drop to 350-450 NM with the new engine. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but both are still just demo's. They both have a long way to go. Also just fyi, X2 tech is newer but this type of design predates tilt-rotor by 16yrs. Sikorsky was making this since the 60s. Both engines come from mid 50s era technology. The V280 biggest benefit is real world data and use from the V22 while X2 has remained experimental. Future wise I think SB-1 becomes the big seller. Especially Raider X.

  323. 2 main complaints, heavy, and air conditioning LCD screen 🤦🏾‍♂️ All this cool stuff and journalist complained about the AC LCD screen 😭. I don't care what car you drive, you need weight to handle heavy cross winds especially ascending mountains, highways and crossing bridges. You need weight in rain, ice, slush and snow. The stuff that breaks had easy fixes but computers were still really new back then. Owners complained about changing spark plugs but in all honesty it's super easy. The intake plenum is literally 6 bolts, detaching the throttle body (1 screw) and a metal gasket 🤷🏾‍♂️ lazy ass owners. Why isn't the 3000GT VR4 celebrated? In 91 we still had big racial issues in the country causing fans of the Indy500 to boycott the Dodge Stealth from being the official Pace Car since it was Japanese and giving it to the Dodge Viper then C5 Corvette. The engine was mounted transverse to accommodate for FWD. However the primary reason was high speed stability. I think I still have the article from the designer on my Flickr account. Lastly, greed. Many people only liked the Supra and RX-7 after they were killed off due to a combination of hype surrounding Fast and Furious, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel. The value appreciating as a result. Additionally tuners finally started unlocking the hidden potential of the 2JZ which was already a great engine as the 1JZ. People today have forgotten how terrible the RX-7 and Supra were received back in the 90s and how awful they sold as a result. My generation which were children love these cars as adults. 60 and 70 year olds today were 30 and 40 years old back then, didn't like them much. Don't forget insurance. So the running cost was actually lower in the 3000GT and Stealth. The FWD varients which sold the most were easily accessible by more people who didn't have good driver skill like women of the time. Don't forget RWD in the 90s was dangerous ASF 😳😳😳 no stability control, air bags, Japanese car stigma, price, tires, insurance, weren't that good in the rain and horrible in the snow. While the 3000GT didn't have dual air bags till later, it did actually have the best safety built into the car for the time. Cross bars in the door, a 5 star safety rating with a 4 star passenger safety rating. People hated the RX-7 because, it was a wankel tiny refrigerator engine and small car for the price. The Supra styling didn't catch on, too expensive, no real cargo space, understeer unless pushed hard and heavy for only being RWD. That ugly 3000GT body kit featured in Fast and Furious 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 and it wasn't even a VR4 🤦🏾‍♂️ Then you have greed, once the value goes up 2x, people will change and act like they always loved the 3000GT etc. because, they want to make a buck. Compared to today's standards, the 3000GT VR4 is avg. weight. The stock internals can handle 800AWHP. 95% of all 3000GT VR4 are modified unless a 99 or Convertible VR4. No good aftermarket support. All those cars had issues but once you spun a bearing in a 3000GT VR4 chances are you blew your engine. This car out sold the Japanese heavy weights combined and by a wide margin. The problem was the owner's who couldn't afford to maintain them. It has a bad wrap for being a heavy weight yet the Toyota Supra Mark IV, Nissan 300ZX, Nissan R32 and Nissan R34 were just as heavy and didn't out perform the 3S in the real world on the street. The RX-7 was the only light weight of the group but was considerably small and not practical. The NSX was over priced, and over hyped and also not practical. The Supra wasn't good on back roads because, it understeered. The 300ZX was about as good as the 3S on back roads. Only the RX-7 and NSX were worth taking on back roads quickly but both were cramped especially the RX-7 and I'm only 5'9". Now the real forgotten car isn't the 3000GT, it's the SVX. The 3000GT was made for All Weather driving. Heavy winds, sand, mud, snow, pot holes and rain performance. It was also expected to perform on mountain roads especially for ski trips. This was also to be driven on the Autobahn. This was the car you could drive across the country with just spare oil. Regarding the interior plastics and soft touch materials, it's the same as what's in my current Mercedes E350 and dare I say a better interior from 1991 vs 2013. I used to own a 3000GT and I can say with certainty the seat was better and more equipped. You could adjust bolsters on the 3000GT tight, the slide and recline were manual which is far better than auto (slow). With the AWS, unless you watched the maintenance videos you might not know but it wasn't just for steering. It was an early form of Stability Control. The Viscous coupling and AWS worked together to stabilize the car at moderate speeds, the active aero would further stabilize the car at high speeds. Other cars the 3000GT VR4 outperformed Ferrari Testarossa and F355, Porsche 911, Mercedes EVO II aka Hammer, BMW M3, Corvette C4, Lamborghini Countach. Unless you had access to a Ferrari F40 or McLaren F1 which was over $700k when released, you couldn't beat the value/performance of the 3000GT. Later came the Viper and other faster cars but once it got the 6spd it was a repeat of before. Also the Nissan 300ZX was a bigger car than the 3000GT, but had less space inside, cost more, was slower and the hardest to work on. The only car that could beat it without paying a few $100k was the Porsche Yellow Bird by RUF.

  346. The article didn't touch on how either man or woman is raised. What you learn and view as a child into adulthood as examples of relationships, broken homes, marriage, etc. Has a significant impact on your view of the world specifically when seeking a suitable mate. I have a cousin who makes less than his wife by around 40% to 50% less. His parents had a similar dynamic. My cousin wife was in the military and came from a broken home, where her parents were separated. I spent several years with them and at no point did she throw finances in his face at least not infront of me or there children. Both had regular jobs but also were entrepreneur's able to help each other's business in a symbiotic way which didn't offset their finances, but both simply made more together. Also if considering intangibles, he's definitely higher on the scale. He's far more family oriented and she more career oriented. Not perfect by any means but they've made things work where he became a step father to her two children and they eventually had a child together. I think they've been together over 15yrs and have had many ups and downs. I wonder if the majority or minority of US women specifically think outside of the prototypical marriage lifestyle or if the majority are going into it based on their own upbringing and what's been known as the standard. One of the most difficult aspects is getting a genuine answer out of a women. No offense but they typicality lean toward a PC response whereas men lean toward an adaptive response.

  348. Let me say something to Toyota. It's been over 100yrs into car design, development and sales and somehow you still don't know how to package a 2 door sports car to your client base? Then the car that you made that people actually wanted to buy was overpriced for the market and being Toyota it was over engineered 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 But what are you doing????? You made the 1987 Supra and it sold very well. Fast forward, you make the Mark IV Supra 🤦🏾‍♂️ Granted you had a lot of competition but who thought you'd sell a car priced similar but higher than competitors and offer less. This is why the 3000GT out sold everyone combined perfect price point, more space, best of both worlds and in the real world was faster than the other cars. But reading a magazine would have you believe otherwise. Only if Best Motoring was accessible back in the day we'd have real data and not the fluff pieces were we served to line journalist pockets. Toyota has proven that they as a company lack SYNERGY. The marketing and accounting side don't get along with the design and engineering side. How on Earth do you make the LC500 with weak transmission cooling. You damn near have spend enough money to buy a brand new car just get the thing on a track or drive it spiritedly on the open road. Y'all make no sense and guess what history is repeating it's 3 times over. Failure's Supra Mark IV, Lexus LC500, Toyota Supra Mark V But then make a Toyota Yaris GR that blows the doors off all these cars 🤦🏾‍♂️ wtf 😒

  356. Cost of living Lower under Donald Trump Higher under Joe Biden National Security Safer under Donald Trump Worst since 1941, under Joe Biden Jobs - tie Trump had slightly more jobs for blacks Biden jobs inflated by 9m Manufacturing Lower under Trump Higher under Biden However, Biden again inflated (pandemic) created a bunch of problems to again inflate his numbers. The pandemic stopped several years worth of manufacturing, and building. With EVs on the road we literally destroy the infrastructure faster from the vehicles weight being 2x to 4x heavier. We're also having build out an entire charging grid. Parking garages aren't sustainable anymore. When you look at Biden numbers they look good until you put thought behind them. Leisure and hospitality saw a huge spike. Why? Buildings that were once jobs were turnes into hotels and living space for migrants. Private healthcare and services. Again we were in a pandemic with massive health mandates. The V actually caused more problems than it cured and congress and states are going through all this, but his numbers look better. Government. Another one wherw the Biden administration created a bunch of BS government jobs we literally don't need and they can't even fill just to prop up his numbers. The private sector under Joe is plummeting. Housing Homes 2x lower under Trump. The cost of homes have doubled under Biden literally pricing out the next 3 generations of home buyers allowing banks and corporations to buy them all up. BlackRock owns most of the homes across the US. Entrepreneurship Same Economic public opinion Trump average approval rating Buden one of the lowest approval ratings in US history Inequality Trump, I was making way more money under Trump and the cost for goods and services was way lower. I'm black and was making above the national avg. Biden is not good for the economy. His numbers are way too inflated when you add even a little bit of thought and context. Income Trump, invome hasn't changed much under Biden but the cost of living is much higher, and under Trump the cost of living was much lower. Also the national avg. under Trump was $72k and rose $78k. Under Biden it was $74k and rose $79k. $6k vs $5k but also with 2x to 4x the cost of living under Biden. Not only did Trump make you more money, you didn't have to spend 2x to 4x of it just to live. Health Insurance Same Stock Market Trump Child poverty Same The pandemic really hides what was going on b/c Biden numbers went right back up to 12.4% which where Trump was at too at 12.6%. But I lean toward Trump b/c not only are their numbers about the same, you're spending way more under Biden than Trump for the same stuff 2x to 4x. Federal debt Trump right now Biden is on pace to surpass Trump in overall Federal debt. Biden tried surpressing his Federal debt albeit for re-election but it's ballooning right infront of us. Honestly you could say a tie b/c they both spent a lot, but Biden has been way more irresponsible with his spending.

  420. +alexander andrew  Before I get into this, how is Lupe Fiasco relevant (real quiet over there) The only person mentioned that's still at an all time high is Kanye West and it's not based solely on his music either. Stay focused my man, we're only talking about relevance of hiphop music artist from 2000-2010 and whether they are still relevant today, and Lupe most recent album didn't sell more than 50Cent last album which was mediocre (Animal Ambition). This is why I said numbers really don't matter but what you do at shows currently does to judge a persons relevance. So no I wasn't comparing 50 last album to Lupe recent album as far as content but relevance. 50Cent is currently independent, meaning you do not get and will not get the same exposure you've gotten in the past from a long list of reasons. Think about this, Curren$y is one of the best hiphop artist out and has been for the past 5 years consistently yet you won't hear him on the radio or club (east coast at least) and he's rarely talked about in the same breath as a Kendrick or J Cole b/c he don't have anywhere near the same sales figures but can still pack out shows. I could care less about numbers, but since yall have no idea what they are, here you go. 2013 - KANYE WEST - Yeezus : 1,200,000 (1st wk 327,000) 2014 - YOUNG JEEZY Seen It All : 320,000 (1st wk 121,000) 2014 - EMINEM Shady XV  290,000 (1st wk 138,000) 2014 - TI Paperwork 236,000 (1st wk 80,000) 2014 - 50 Cent Animal Ambition 124,000 (1st wk 47,000) *Independent 2015 - Lupe Fiasco Tetsuo and Youth 79,000 (1st wk 42,000) 2015 - Ludacris Ludaversal 125,000 (1st wk 62,000) 2015 - THE GAME The Documentary 2  146,238 (1st wk 83,171) Since your claim is that all people know 50 for now is him owing some money minus the movie he just made, minus a world tour, minus the fact that he was the 5th richest hiphop artist in 2014 & 2015. Bankruptcy was for his boxing promotion company and all bankruptcy is, is relief, it doesn't mean you're broke. All that being said, I realized that you base your information off of media outlets and not from the masses. Before someone says but 50Cent said he only worth 5 million dollars, if you believe that flock of crap you're a fool. Lastly pointing out that 50Cent is independent means he's made more money than most of the guys. As for net worth in some cases 4 to 5 times as more. Who knows until all this legal stuff is cleared. Figured I'd throw out these other guys DRAKE - If Youre Reading This Its Too Late : 1,051,000 J COLE - Forrest Hills Drive : 1,033,000 KENDRICK LAMAR - To Pimp A Butterfly : 714,000

  422. +King Kunta  Lil Wayne I was talking about artist established in hiphop from 2000-2010 that are still relevant today and I'll add, at a decent to high capacity. To me Lil Wayne has been experimenting since "I am not a human being". Granted Wayne is technically still relevant; that I agree. Krit and CyHi CyHi has 1 Album, and came out in 09, the same goes for Krit, he just became relevant around 2010 with Krit was here, he's still trying to establish his rap career outside of the US and really outside of the South. Artist 2010-present Curren$y, Wiz Khalifa, Skeme, Nipsey Hussle, Hopsin (Funk Volume), Angel Haze, Earl Sweatshirt, Childish Gambino, Joey Badazz (Pro Era), Asap Rocky (Asap Mob), Chance The Rapper, Ty Dolla $, J Cole, Kendrick, Rick Ross, Wale, Drake, Big Sean, Mac Miller, MGK, Nicki Minaj & Meek, YelaWolf, Lil Dicky, Macklemore, Kid Ink, Future, FrenchM, SchoolBoy Q, Locksmith, Ab Soul, King Los, and many others are the NEW SCHOOL and they are all after 2010 as for there career gaining footing, pace and expanding beyond the US (the US is tiny compared to the world as far as hiphop) New heavy hitters Drake is not letting up and is making it very hard for others to shine. If I say Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, Macklemore and Nicki Minaj, these 5 are in a whole-nother zone in terms of footprint on the world in hiphop compared to their piers. Hiphop is in a Renaissance right now plus we have way more people on the planet, right now we have 7.3 billion people on the planet, back in 2000 it was 6.1 and less during the 90's plus you had insane amounts of black and Latino men and women being incarcerated, killed or strung out on drugs.

  423. Dude I'm seriously not about to go through all this twice with people who don't understand what the word Relevance means. Relevance by definition a. having significant and demonstrable bearing on the matter at hand b.  affording evidence tending to prove or disprove the matter at issue or under discussion c. having social relevance Lupe Lupe didn't rule anything. Eminem killed everyone from the 2000's hands down. He pretty much out sold everyone I mentioned below put together if I'm not mistaken. CyHi CyHi first mixtape dropped in 2009 meaning he does not have an established career in hiphop due to lack of material and exposure. CyHi is in the 2010 to 2020 era of hiphop, don't bring him up if this is about artist from 2000-2010 whom established careers during that time. Industry As for the industry; that was covered too. An artist on a label has to sell aif I'm not mistaken 4 times as many records than an independent artist. I made the point about 50 Cent still being relevant b/c he's currently independent and sold 124K where the next independent artist not on a label at all that year sold 55K or less irregardless of era. The Game I mentioned Game and others as well already minus Lil Wayne. Here you go... Eminem Lupe T.I. Ludacris Kanye West 50 Cent *The Game Jeezy Lil Wayne *Talib Kweli *Mos Def *Lil Wayne Hiphop I know it's not about sales which is why I focused on shows, tours and events. The US is small in terms of Hiphop now, you got many places around the world living, breathing, doing hiphop more than the US.

  427. Really? Really? You do realize I covered what hiphop is even what it was?  The question, argument, what this was about is relevance in hophop (not numbers) if you were an artist from 2000-2010 and established your career during that time and you're still relevant today (criteria), numbers is merely a basis of coming to a legitimate conclusion of if you're relevant in hiphop partly. I even went so far as to say if you're a commercial artist you'd have to sell 4 times the amount to equal that of an independent artist. Not only did I do that, for one I believe that if you're a hiphop artist your relevance in hiphop should be based on shows, tours and events basically your exposure to those aware of your arts existence (numbers of sales was just something of a supplement to compare).  Hiphop evolved from its core and this was already covered. Hiphop of the 80's is not hiphop of the 90's, 00's or current and it never will be at least in the US. I literally defined hiphop for the illiterate already. I'll let Mos answer you. Mos Def - Fear Not of Man "Yo Mos, what's gettin ready to happen with Hip-Hop?" (Where do you think Hip-Hop is goin?) I tell em, "You know what's gonna happen with Hip-Hop? Whatever's happening with us" If we smoked out, Hip-Hop is gonna be smoked out If we doin alright, Hip-Hop is gonna be doin alright People talk about Hip-Hop like it's some giant livin in the hillside comin down to visit the townspeople We (are) Hip-Hop Me, you, everybody, we are Hip-Hop So Hip-Hop is goin where we goin So the next time you ask yourself where Hip-Hop is goin ask yourself.. where am I goin? How am I doin? Til you get a clear idea"

  450.  @neverstopushing3638  Find 1 piece of marketing or advertising material from the period which promotes any of the said vehicles in anything but the configurations I laid out and I'll retract. You may also want to reference Insurance policies. I can tell you right now, you won't, like these children today trying desperately to redefine gender roles due to confusion. If anything, I might consider the current V8 Challenger as a Muscle car. Maybe a Mustang GT. Maybe a Camaro Z28 but hell no to that thing they're passing off as a Charger. (You can stop here, but Incase you need more info/context, keep reading). Matter fact look up "1970 Inside Insurance Industry 16 page Muscle Car Guide" that's what Insurance Agents used to identify muscle cars and sports cars. The first Muscle Car was the Olds Mobile Rocket 88. Guess how many doors it had? 2 The Muscle Car status was specifically used to sell a sportier higher powered, stripped down affordable car to men. The purpose of the V8 engines was smoothness (balance), efficiency (time period), simplicity (repairs and manufacturing), and capable of moving the weight of those cars fully loaded whether it be on an interstate, up a steep hill, on a dirt/mud road or around a race track, which included sedans, trucks, coupes, and wagons. The Muscle car specifically got a higher compression version of the V8s they already had and the manufacturers specifically used the 2 door versions to cut weight to further separate its performance characteristics, making them Muscle Cars. We didn't get Pony Cars until the Mustang 🐎 which actually had a I6 and V8 as engine options. We don't consider the I6 version as a Pony car b/c of it's low power output. Additional Pony cars were made to combat Ford's marketing and sales of the Mustang. Challenger, Camaro, etc. Pony cars have been over time interchangeable with Muscle cars. The most agreed upon standard of a Pony Car is an "American pony car describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a performance-oriented image." Criteria: American-made. Two-doors, four passengers. Styling that includes a long hood, short deck, and open mouth. Built with mass production parts. Affordable base price with a variety of available upgrades. A high powered, V6 or V8 engine The same criteria used for a Pony car is nearly the same for a muscle car. The only real difference being a longer deck (Mid Size, era specific) and V8 only. Where I made a mistake was Full vs Mid size coupe. Period muscle cars used Mid Size measurements which by today's standards are actually Full Size cars. The Muscle car was killed off a long time ago. The only current version was the Custom Hellphant made by Dodge. Keep in mind the old Chargers were as long as most current Full Size SUVs today like the Tahoe, Yukon, Expedition or Escalade.

  551.  @nessuno5403  Jesus nothing. Again INVALID. Loud and Wrong. Let's start here. Porsche has never used anything but traditional doors. The Aston Martin Vantage is the literal direct competitor to the Jaguar F-Type to the point they even look alike and has butter fly doors and it's shorter and in closer price range then Porsche which is over $200k. Now onto Mercedes and McLaren All Grand Tourers (GT Cars) Uhlenhaut Coupé Mercedes 300 SL Mercedes AMG SLS Mercedes McLaren SLR (NOT SUPER CARS) You are self interpreting. I'm taking the info from the source, the source being LAMBORGHINI the company, and Marcello Gandini himself who put scissor doors on the first production car because, he couldn't see backing up. It's literally on there website 🤦🏾‍♂️ From McLaren, and Gordon Murray himself who was inspired by a Toyota, Alfa Romeo and aviation. Murray's demand on having a central driving position which is also now evident in the new T.50 and T.33. The reason the damn SLR has the doors comes from the original McLaren F1 and Gordon Murray now design signature. The reason the damn Lambos got long was due to large size buyers, aero and safety, otherwise they'd all still be as small as the Countach which is a very small car. There's literal fundamental reasons why dihedral doors are on the McLarens and Gullwing on the Mercedes. Gullwing specifically, because of racing and the high door sill not accommodating a traditional door due the tubular frae chasis. It's not some childhood fantasy you have bro, it's literal *ENGINEERING* problem solving. It's also the spiritual successor to the original 300 SL R and Stirling Moss. The SLS based on the original 300 SL which wasn't a super car or a sports car, both new and old are *GT* cars. **Length has absolutely nothing to do with anything**. I literally listed 'brand new' hyper cars, super cars, sports cars, economy cars, that are nearly a foot shorter than a Aventador, Murceilago, P1, Senna, and even shorter than the F-Type Jag, Aston Martin Vantage, etc. There's other cars to use it that were economy cars, sports cars, etc in the past. *The McLaren SLR isn't a super car* , it's GT car. The F12 Berlinetta, DBS are GT cars. A damn Bugatti Veyron has traditional doors. We have had butterfly, scissor, canopy, suicide etc doors on high volume production cars but due to high expense, reliability and the literal safety hazard they pose to passengers and emergency units, the NHTSA makes it hard to approve them. Mainly due to rollover accidents. The SLR has exploding hinge bolts incase of a rollover. How bout you know your history genius. Go look at the Uhlenhaut Coupé. Go literally look up Lamborghini literature. If you wanna get real deep, go look up Ferruccio Lamborghini tractors. Yes more common vehicles have butterfly doors than super cars, hyper cars etc. Even large ATV (heavy vehicles) have them and sell way more units than these damn low volume road cars that only go fast. Remember Lamborghini was built on tractors. They got too indulged in sports cars and went bust and VW bought them. Only what, 2 Ferraris use them and that's the Enzo and LaFerrari Lambo don't sell that much and neither does McLaren who sell the most variants with dihedral and scissor doors. They're all low volume cars including the F-Type and they're barely profitable even at there high price points. They are losing money genius. 🤦🏾‍♂️

  578. The funny thing about this review of the blog (foolish blog) is that Ken Miles wife is also a gear head but I'm assuming that went over the writers head. The wife is a tom boy similar to my mom (daughter of a hunter) in personality. The movie is a complete film. It's a period piece that pays pass due respect to the man who established Ford as an automotive racing juggernaut during that time. It's a story about an unsung hero in Ken Miles. It's to pay homage to the great Carroll Shelby, God Rest his Soul. It pays dues to Enzo Ferrari in very high respect. This film also gives those still alive from that era a breath of fresh air to the realities of life (reflect) and not some PC bullshit. This uneducated person probably doesn't even know the McCluskey name and how the recent films Midway also has great parallels to Ford vs Ferrari and how it also parallels with Once Upon A Time in Hollywood in The 14 Fist of McCluskey (1969 non researching twat). And fuck it being white and straight, that's that scapegoat bullshit. I'm a black African American straight man and goddamn it Midway, Ford vs Ferrari, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Fast and Furious 6 all brought tears to my eyes for carious reasons. Midway b/c I sat and watch that film with 90+ year old Navy pilots and there wives who fought in the war and flew at Midway. Seeing what I wanted in a father from Ken Miles character, aspirations as a child to become a racer but being too poor and having too many siblings to be recognized for my gifts as a driver. Fast6 for the loss of Paul and FF1 being the only film my dad watched with me helped us fix some real shit in life. And Goddamn Quentin Tarantino for his ability to tell a fucking story and use two of my favorite all time actors. I'm a man who's seen and have felt first hand the bs of this country from being held at gun point by 5 police officers and being a fucking officer at the same damn time to also being graciously respected by old white men who didn't know me from a buger on a bathroom wall. There's no fucking hive mind amongst men although we fucking understand each other even when we know we're wrong, that's why I'm still here and not in a body bag like others that look like me. I pick up this 93 year old white man from time to time in Annapolis and he always tells me, "the world is hard, I wish you well, I wish you well" so fuck what the ignorant housed in a bubble fucks think.

  728. I'm going to speak on this because I do rideshare and been in the same position. Now as an argument for you guys, Lyft dropped their rates and yes the base price is trash so you really need tips based on MPG, Car Note, Ins, etc. Territory matters. If you are a rideshare driver or delivery industry like DoorDash, Uber, Lyft, etc. It is your responsibility to budget PERIOD. You want out of the situation? You must look deep into tax laws or go to a tax expert. They typically won't charge for the initial consultation so have your questions ready up front. Tax deductions, etc. You're allowed to work typically 10hrs, 6hrs off, 10hrs back on. I work my ass off minimum 50hrs, typically 70hrs to 80hrs per week. If you're homeless doing this type of work you better have a cleaning regimen and live in your damn car for a few months. You need to change your eating habits. Carbohydrates & Sugar willing fuck up your pockets and God forbid if you're vaping, smoking or drinking. Rent $700mo with a roommate or $1200 single. Cut the fucking rent completely. Throw your shit away. The biggest problem homeless people have is too much fucking dead weight and hygiene. Sleep in your fucking car, crack a window and be nice to the police who knock on your window. They want to know if your ok, on drugs or intoxicated. Wal-Mart typically allows overnight parking. Map out where 24hr restrooms are located Shell Dash In, Wawa, 24hr CVS, 24hr Wal-Mart. Have a fanny pack. It should include wet wipes to clean your ass hole and privates throughout the day. Let me tell you the shit I went through I clean 5x a day. I was cleaner than the avg. person. Change your damn diet. Food is fuel. Eat like shit and you will be tired 😴 dysfunctional and need to shit too much. Vegetables, water, Gatorade Zero and chicken or a protein. If I eat at Popeye's guess what that fucking biscuit goes in the trash, that shit will have you sleep, bloated and keep you fat. Unsweet Tea with lemon. Why? No sugar and the lemon helps eat at the fat in your body. Why weight is important, b/c the leaner you are the better you feel, faster you move, motivated and able to manuever inside a cramped car. Jump rope invest in a $5 jump rope. Workout 3x a day for a minute or two and stretch. Bloodflow, energy, health is fucking important. Let's talk money. Rent is $700 to $1400mo Fuel $40day or $1200mo Ins. $50 to $250mo Cell $150mo unlimited Food $30day or $900mo What can you cut? Rent = $700 to $1400mo in your pocket. Fuel, you can cut down fuel cost by losing weight, and not filling up pass half. Weight kills gas mileage. Learn to turn your car off. You can cut fuel down to $20 to $25day if your car is efficient 40mpg hwy. Drink fluids like gatorade zero for vitamins and so you don't get sick often from common stuff. Buy 2x Extra Strength 5hr energy. Only drink half at a time. When you wake up, don't eat anything. You need to not eat so you can have energy it's basically fasting until lunch time. I was in a house fire. I lost everything, started from 0 after already being near 0. You ever been at your lowest then get hit again, that was me. Now here's your living options. Seek care giving opportunities, they are in high demand and don't pay more than $13hr. The trick is to find a "LIVE IN" opportunity. Why? Free housing, shower and water. All you need do is buy food. If you are not eating out you are definitely cutting into that $30day and can reduce cost drastically. I worked as a caregiver by day, rideshare by night. Get off your fucking ass and work and throw the garbage away or put your things in totes and into storage and forget about them for awhile. Fix your life.

  738. Ground level, there's many people pissed off at the looting and rioting from both sides. I personally hate Democrats and Republicans; not the people but 'American politics as a whole.' The shit don't work. The reason I fucking hate both sides; you're both thick headed. My way is better than your way, both sides sound like 2yr olds comparing toys; my GI Joe is better than your Transformer. No it's not, mommy! Timmy said his toy better than my toy. Johnny your GI Joes are superb, there young, on the front line and fight the good fight. Now to address the twins here, bros did you two not see the man with a bow and arrow about to shoot people? Tell me he's Democrat. Pls. Did you not see the National Guard take commands from their SO "Light'em Up!" Am I military no am I cop no am I an Officer yes. I got friends who served in all branches, one now finishing up her inactive duty with the National guard, a buddy who spent nearly 20yrs in the Marine Corp. who said that shit wasn't right. Two Sheriff's I grew up with since I was 8. MLK said rioting is voices not being heard. You don't come back and tell the public oh yeah he had underlying conditions, so yeah we bought let dude off. That's what triggered people. In no way do you hold a person screaming for help for 9min bro. You guys have common sense and I'm with you, the rioting is ridiculous and if you were out their you'd also realize its both sides on the street protesting. You're both military, so you should know how this works, there's at least 2 to 4 primary ass hats to initiate the bs. People have lost eyes from the rubber bullets. You might laugh because you were trained for this, these people are not, so instead of sitting on your ass use your platform beyond tearing down and trying to further divide both sides and inciting more adjitation to the mix. What you're displaying is the same restraint these fucked up cops display, let that sink.

  835. @giovanni solinas  What? Short non-technical answer 🤣 How about tires & brakes (also wheels & brake fluid). Launch control and ABS hides everything. Now I'd assume the 458 and C8 would still beat the F40 in a 1/4 mile run. But with the right tires, brakes and driver 🤷🏾‍♂️ then eliminate launch control and go to 1 mile. Technical answer (numbers below) Keep in mind this owner is running Pilot Sport Cup 2 7:27 and the C8 is running Pilot Sport 4S. Then he's running the brakes off a LaFerrari. A car that cost over $1.4m 🤷🏾‍♂️ Endless brake pads cost $400 to $500 & Cup 2 tires cost what $150 more than the 4S. Don't just respond just to respond. Numbers Weight Ferrari Speciale: 3,076lbs Ferrari F40: 3,018 -58lbs or 26kg (not a lot) Power Ferrari Speciale: 605hp Ferrari F40: 471hp +134hp Drag Coefficient Ferrari 458 Specials: 0.33 Ferrari F40: 0.34 -0.01 Transmission Ferrari 458 Speciale: 7spd Dual Clutch Automatic Ferrari F40: 30 year old 5spd manual (DCT 4/10th quicker than Manual) Tire Size Ferrari 458 Speciale: Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Front-235/35 R20 Rear-295/35 R20 Ferrari F40: 30yr old tire tech and still ran 11.7s but likely on a prepped surface. Front-245/45 R17 Rear-305/35 R17 Price Ferrari 458 Speciale: $291,744msrp Ferrari F40: $400,000msrp +$108,256 The 458 Speciale outclasses the F40 in every possible metric you could think of outside of 58lbs and it's cheaper. 58lbs accounts for roughly 5 to 7rwhp vs over +100rwhp 🤦🏾‍♂️ Ferrari limits the 458 Speciale to 202mph and the F40 over 200mph. The LM version uses the same engine as the road car but produces over 700hp (supposedly the F40 is more around 500hp)

  845.  @internet_dude  The whole point of listing those movies was to show the sheer disparity. You're more than welcome to count how many were big screen or silver screen, etc. Many weren't leads? 🤦🏾‍♂️ Questionables: Marvel What If: The Watcher aka Jeffery Wright Suicide Squad: Dead Shot aka Will Smith Suicide Squad II: Bloodsport aka Idris Elba The Man With The Iron Fist: Blacksmith aka RZA New: Captain America NWO aka Anthony Mackie Shuri wasn't a noble character. T'Chala wasn't either. He became more noble at the end of Civil War during his monologue with Zemo. "...vengeance has consumed us, it's consuming them". He killed his own cousin, the rightful King to Wakanda, whom won in ritual combat. T'Chala was saved by M'Baku and given the final heart shaped herb, stolen by Nakia during the sacred ancestral ceremony. T'Chala was revived by his mother, Queen Ramonda. Then he staged a coup d'etat with the Mountain Tribe M'Baku, Dora Milaje, The River Tribes top warrior and spy Nakia and an outsider Agent Ross. Then people online saying Shuri should've killed Namor when T'Chala didn't kill Zemo who killed his own father, didn't kill Klaw who killed W'Kabi father. He brought in and protected a lethal assassin Bucky "The Winter Soldier" Barnes who killed Tony Stark father and mother. He allowed Zuri be killed. He killed his own cousin N'Djaka (Killmonger). W'Kabi was wrongfully imprisoned and convicted of treason by the Golden Tribe aka the Royal Family. You're more than welcome to write new movies where black women are at the center. Prior to Chadwick Boseman passing, Fox still owned the rights to X-Men which includes Storm. Only after his passing did Fox sell off the rights to X-Men and acquire Storm Ouroro. Disney announced they'd create TV shows surrounding Wakanda. We're likely to get a young Storm and young T'Chala timeline. Iron Heart will be the first black American female lead superhero TV series. Fyi Wakanda and those properties are African. Too many folks keep grouping African and African Americans together. They live a totally different life style than us. Disney and Ryan Coogler has respected the African culture immensely but we still get Americans interjecting there ideologies. Africa is 3x the size of North America. In Wakanda we're considered the Lost Tribe. What we'll likely get with Storm is the Shadow King story line where Professor Xavier helped Ouroro escape the Astral Plane as a child. She was an orphan theif. Black women in the states right now are complaining about Wakanda Forever, complaining how Shuri is too small and don't even recognize that she's African. I swear black American women are confused asl.

  940. PBD asked how do you snap out of it, and the guy gave a long winded response b/c he's being too technical. I can tell you how I snap back. Exercise Jumping jacks 20x Push ups 20x Vinegar 1x cap or 1x tablespoon ICE cubes Ice cubes on the roof of your mouth can shock your nervous system awake. Cold touch Grab in both your hand something very cold. Sports athlete's started doing this not too long ago. I learned this from my dad when I didn't want to wake up for school. He removed the carpets from the house, and made us put our feet on the cold floor bare. Instant wake up. As an adult, I grab the roof of my truck on a cold morning and just hold the bars. It boost testosterone and energy in the body. Brush your teeth 🪥 You can use toothpaste, or baking soda+vinegar. Brushing your teeth actually effects how you feel. Use vinegar to prewash, floss, brush, spit (you don't need to wash your mouth afterwards, that defeats the purpose of brushing your teeth). In 30min you wash your mouth, but the toothpaste or baking soda+vinegar needs time to work. Waste Poop 💩 Pooping is very important, you almost need to give yourself an enema, get it out. DO NOT brush your teeth in your bathroom! Do Not leave anything you intend to put on your body or in your body in your bathroom. When you shit, and flush, the fecal matter sprays all over your restroom. This is why bathroom cabinets were introduced I think, but you're better off just taking EVERYTHING out of your bathroom. If your toothbrush is exposed, you're just brushing your teeth with your own poop 💩 😅 Air Ways Clear your nose (air ways). Blow your nose 1 side at a time. You can also use a vapor inhaler (menthol). Cheating: 5hr energy basic mixed inside Gatorade. Sip. ONLY sip. If you gulp, you're going to have problems. Take a sip, if you want more to drink, drink something else that's not a stimulant like water, unsweetened tea without caffeine. I munch on mixed nuts when I do this. Yes, you need adequate sleep. (Minimum 6hrs) Cream of tartar (big canon) The night before, you can drink 1 cup of hot water, with 1x teaspoon or 1x tablespoon of Cream of Tartar. (This will pull all the gunk out of your intestines). Only at night before bed and with access to a working toilet!!!! If you've never had cream of tartar, use half a teaspoon b/c if your intestines is fucked, this will have you on the floor b/c it's going to rip the plaque off your intestines and you'll see it in your poop. It'll be dark black. You'll also see dead parasites 🪱 🤢 on your poop. Cream of tartar will also clean your skin from the inside. If you have bumps, pimples, cysts, etc. this will get rid of all that. Work up to 1x tablespoon and drink the hot water after stirring in one gulp if you can b/c it's nasty. The taste is very bitter and tart. Food Honestly don't eat if you're tired, it'll just make it worse. Maybe wait for 2hrs after you wake up to eat. Eat pickles. Pickels have a ton of electrolytes and your muscles won't fatigue as fast. So if you're on the job, grab a few pickles and you can drink the pickle juice.

  953. 4:15 Beauty is a very mild factor at this point. But I will say most black women, 8 to 9 times out of 10 are not in shape. Women today have jacked up attitudes, and a false perception of how the world works. Up until the 90s, men could still work one job to provide for a family. The cost of living flipped. Your everyday luxuries flipped with your actual cost of living. Like your residence, food, energy, healthcare, and transportation. I honestly don't ever recall a time in history for black women, or women in general where they could just be a stay at home spouse. I mean the majority. If you were, you still had duties, not just chores around the house like washing dishes and clothes or cooking. Women worked in the yard, tended to farm animals, made long term food preparation to store for winters. Made sure fires were started. Made sure grand parents were taken care of. Today, y'all stuck on social media, stuck in other people's business, don't check on grandparents, don't know the first thing about an animal whether it's just a cat or dog. Can't fish, don't know how to store things long term. Don't read books that progress the family. Nah y'all read a bunch of sex, drama, controversy then wonder why your house ain't in order. If your family was fortunate enough, like my dad to have gotten a good job in the DMV in the 80s or 90s or places like it. You probably only needed one income up until the early 2000s. My dad was born in the 50s. His first job straight out of HS was with the FBI. His first wife died in a car accident. He had to leave D.C. and raise my older sisters as a single dad. He switched careers to regional lawn care work. Found a new wife in the 70s. Had more kids in the 80s. Early 90s he swapped jobs for something better but we had to move from southern Maryland closer to DC in PG county. I say that to say, people have to be willing to work together, and move where the money is available. I still remember nights all we had was a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a couple apples with no power, no water, and no money and 6 mouths to feed as well as his own and my mom. Women today don't know that type of struggle, and of they do, they've forgotten it. That little pocket in my dad's life lasted maybe a year. Then he started making $180k a year in the early 90s. He worked 16-17hrs a day, worked Saturday PT and was off on Sunday. I personally think the initial shift happened in the 1960s. Women will always say well what about the men? What about the men? Who's been raising the men? Who's been keeping the boys away from their father's? Who's been choosing to bear children to not fit fathers and criminals? Then asking the men you should've been dealing with initially to now fix your problems and raise your bastard son's? My mom isn't exempt by the way. I don't think my father would've gotten with my mother had he not needed a woman to raise his two daughters and understood being a single parent. My mom and dad told us that she didn't know how to be a wife and that he taught her. My mom for context was a tom boy. Not like tomboys today obviously. She was a lady. But her upbringing in a large family of 18 in NY. She stayed around her dad. He had his own business, and would hunt in Up State NY. She'd take care of his hunting dogs. Would clean, skin and prep his kills. Anything from deer, racoons, rabbits, birds, chicken, turkey, fish, etc. If my mom wasn't a woman she'd be a butcher. I think the primary issue is that people today are impatient and unwilling to work together towards long term goals. Marriage is a long term goal. Marriage isn't the wedding ceremony. Marriage is till death do us part.

  1020.  @Number27  No doubt, if you can find one. The other car from the 90s that's hardly mentioned is the Toyota MR2. Toyota honestly doesn't get the sports car sales imo, due to delivering product's that are over priced and under perform. They are over engineered but all you need do is look at the LC500, RF, LFA, Supra Mark V, Supra Mark IV, MR2 from 1991 - 1997. The moment the 3000GT VR4 hit the market it literally sucked up the Japanese sports car and GT segment in the US The crazy thing is if you count the entire life of the MR2, the 3000GT and Stealth still sold more than all those cars combined (+40k units). It sold 19,208 from 1991 to 1997 and sold 0 in 98 and 99 until it was updated in 2000. I never initially counted the MR2 or SVX, but just did and even with both of those cars Mitsubishi and Dodge dominated US sales of sports cars with the Stealth and 3000GT. Like the NSX and 300ZX you basically need to do engine out service on the MR2. The Supra and RX-7 also won out because, they were easy to work on in terms of accessibility. The RX-7 was still new technology and finding a good shop to service that Rotary was non-existent. The 3000GT fixed it's rod bearing issue on the 2nd Gen. It too was pretty difficult to work on but most serious maintenance just required removing the driver side wheel. Now it has the Jester ECU which fixes the failing capacitors the original ECU had, which could be repaired but they'd just fail again. If you have one now, best solution is to find one of the good shops that specialize in the 3000GT and upgrade everything. These cars are very reliable when serviced on time especially now since oil and fluids are even better. You can find many high mileage 3000GT (not the VR4). You can delete the PTU, original ECU, AWS (cool overs), upgrade to bigger brakes, better tires, 6spd, exhaust. There's a good sold by PitRoad M in China that fixes the aero dynamic flaw around the cowl and windshield or the one by 3SX. Brass bushing for the shifter. I think anyone holding onto a VR4 can expect it to be worth $70k in a few more years. It's already creeping back up to $50k.

  1108. Follow Minnesota and dismantle the Police. Reform is like putting a bandage over an open wound without properly cleaning it or stopping the bleeding first. Just like these statues that don't serve a purpose in current day society for a ton of obvious reasons where education is far more important than policing. The police were created from Overseers. Stop teaching your children one white washed side of history over and over and over, that's why we don't blame your children. When it comes to tough extremely tough topics like the death and mutation and down right insane behavior after Nat Turner was killed by white American citizen who literally ate, drank, created chairs, hand bags, wallets, skined, chopped, worn, made chains, jewelry, and many other disgraceful means that go beyond brutality. That cutting the womb open of a pregnant woman in public and stomping her child in public was normal practice. Show me where that's taught, not even in High School. Emmett Till, huh we just seen a woman do that not even a month ago and was choking her dog in the process for not following the rules, Marcus Garvey, Willie Lynch, Jim Crow and many other historic moments, economic destruction, people and dark disgraceful acts that's actually shaped and built this Nation. How Redlining 1936, Black Wallstreet 1921, Gentrification (Ongoing), Over Policing (Ongoing), Cannabis 1937 now it's legal again but guess what if you don't have a farm and can't pass all the regulations you can't par take in a trillion dollar industry, one that black people already had 5000yrs before 1937 when it was taken away for 100 years to further oppress black folks and take our wealth, then tell us to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps. Police 1829, Slave Patrol 1704-1877, Stop & Frisk 1968, War on Drugs 1971 and built the Prison industrial complex where bodies are money hence overpolicing, No Knock Order; how all these things and more were systems put in place to abuse power, destroy and oppress specifically black people in America. Yes enough is enough. But we are still Peaceful.

  1115. 13:30 yes you are weong and black parents who teach this are also wrong. What you should do is turn on all your interior lights especially at night and open your windows at least partially. Also have your paperwork easily accessible and if you can readily available before they get to your or before you come to a stop. My car has a pocket under the seat, registration and insurance and license in my pocket. Keep spare light bulbs in your glove box. During 2020 I was approached by police 70x in 3mo. Now was it b/c I was black? NO! Why? I was approached by as many white cops as black cops and female cops. As a matter fact two cops that got on my nerves one white. First thing he asked, are you on drug's? Second cop different encounter was black. He was a state trooper and shines a military grade flash light in my face so bright I was disoriented for the next 8min and he switch to a standard flash light after realizing he nearly blinded me. When I asked him about the other flash light he acted like I was crazy. It was rectangle in shape, square beam. Mind you I'm an armed security officer, fire arms instructor and have never been convicted of a crime with a perfect driving record still to this day after 25 years of driving. The only ticket I've ever gotten was from a black man showing off in front of strippers at a car wash after I'd bought a used car without a front license plate mount. I'd just picked the mount up from my parents house, realizing I couldn't install it, I was headed to my uncle house for help removing the damage one. Packaging, plate, tools etc all in my front seat with a receipt that these things were just delivered on Memorial day no less. $70 ticket. I was stopped by a cop on MLK day in 2019. The car I had was out of registration. Cop ask why hadn't I gone to MVA? It's a holiday sir, and this is a rental car. Oh, you're right. I'm sorry for stopping, my mistake. White cop. The 70x I was approached, I was driving Lyft and parking in park and rides for 1-3hr breaks late at night between 10pm - 1am. The last cop I pretty much spoke my peace and from that point I've not been approached in 2yrs. Matter fact they now wave and keep it moving. Prior to 2018 I've maybe had 3 run ins with police. Twice I speeding and left off with warnings. Maybe 10mph over the speed limit, nothing crazy. Been driving since age 12. One thing that I do know, is police are people. Depending on the area the police have evolved differently, especially based on bad activity in those areas. I don't expect a Baltimore police officer to have the same demeanor as one in Annapolis. Just no. Baltimore is one of the highest crime and drug zones in the country. Annapolis is mostly rich old white people that own yatchs with a couple low income neighborhoods. Minimal gang and drug activity among 40 and younger. The crime that comes there, usually comes from Baltimore or D.C.

  1124.  @hresvelgr7193  Had we bypassed the F-35B all together from the beginning. It's too damn fat and heavy. I know why it can't use the ski ramp and why other past jets haven't used them and why the USMC don't use cats. My real point is that we could've done carrier modifications instead of fielding this new jet. Both require a ton of training and funding. Either way you look at it, we still got an underpowered jet that can't carry much which is the same as having a ski ramp. Granted in full load out of external arms, the F-35B is more leathal than a jet using a ski ramp that's load limited. But then it defeats its own stealth capabilities 🤯 🤷🏾‍♂️ The USMC like to keep things super simple and installing a cat would require more training, more maintenance cost, down time, etc. We went with the Harriers b/c pilots kept crashing. The F-35B although it's been in active duty which it needed to be or I'm pretty sure it would've been canned. It's the jet we have, not the one we need. The biggest benefit is landing in shit weather, and safely landing on ships or ground reliably especially at night with limited training. That's more training hours spent else where instead of the landing expense our Navy endure, however they get it done, rain, sun or otherwise. The Marines trained with the Navy on the F-35C in a joint program. I don't dislike the F-35B, I dislike the damn bureaucrats who made that shitty deal, who didn't have the foresight to see just how costly it would be, but greed is a real thing, even for some hero's.

  1142.  @hresvelgr7193  cool clip to watch on the A-10 https://youtu.be/0pRwCld08uI almost forgot to address the A-10 disrespect 🤣 . I'll be fair. At low altitude stealth is irrelevant to many ground hostiles, except against tracking weaponry like SAMs, ground targets rely mostly on visual range. Also the slow speeds needed for targets intrenched leave a jet like the F-35A vulnerable. It can't take heavy AAA or missle hits, and still be operational. It can't yet fly in bad weather (thunder storms). The A-10 has its own jammer so it's never needed stealth, and when the F-35A/B does take over it'll have air support just as the A-10 had. It's success for 45yrs including modern wars at low and medium air combat has proved itself so much, the USAF can't retire the damn thing 😭. The USAF plan to keep A-10s in service for the foreseeable future due to Congress (mainly b/c they tried this 50yrs ago and we got caught with our pants down). The USAF want to replace it so bad with new F-35, they're intentionally trying to fly them into the grave but can't 🤣 They are getting heat from congress trying to stall the refurbishment process and even still the ones that won't get new wings anytime soon, can still fly missions. It's one of those pieces of equipment that just works. When you have a female pilot get hit with a rocket 🚀, tear a hole in the plane, 1 engine, take small arms fire and AAA fire, lose all hydraulic control in enemy air space and fly it an hour back home with a perfect landing, say's a lot. The trade off is heavy armaments, high durability and high loiter time vs high stealth, very low armaments, quick strikes w/low loiter time. New ground weapons pose a threat to the A-10 which isn't stealth and even with its jammer will be an easier target than the F-35A theoretically, even though it's being upgraded heavily. So the A-10 will be around for another 20yrs at least. In defense of the F-35A it outclasses every jet in the medium altitude precision bombing role.

  1153. I can say this about seating in a theater. Those who chose to sit as far back as possible are literally choosing the worse seat in the house next to those who sit in the first 2 lower rows. The middle of about every theater is the best seating for viewing/audio. Why? Because the sound designers cater to the middle row. As for eyes, we see at about 180 degree's meaning your angle of view will be full while sitting mid theater. Same goes for large IMAX or varients. Sitting to either left or right side is actually good for 3D viewing since screens are now mostly curved. That little offset adds inherent depth. I used to work in a movie theater and was a professionally trained photographer and audio engineer. My personal thought on Nolan choice is to be as viceral as possible. Nolan strives to add realism to his movies. Sound is taking the same approach he uses visually. If these guys have the mouths covered, I'd assume Nolans thought process is trying to out you the viewer in the scene as the FPV/3PV. When you watch Batman the Dark Knight in the intro scene, the clowns all have mask and he wants you to know they have mask and not microphones just so you hear them clearly. What they have to say isn't always that important. What's important is experiencing the film and allowing it to swallow you up. I tend to watch movies in my car. It has a very good surround sound system and being a small space reverbs very well. I still go to movies often. I'd actually like to see Nolan take on a James Bond film.

  1251. I'll just say it because, I'm annoyed. It's difficult to write a script for a women in a man's role. Find any and every film where women take on a heroic role and 9/10 it's a failure in the western world especially with increased numbers. Where women do succeed in groups, its as villains. The irony is that's women in real life. Shit sounds sexiest, I don't give a shit. Best on screen female hero, Sarah fucking Connor and Ellen goddamn Ripley. Connor never acted like she was a 250lbs man taking on endless guard's like he's Commando. She used her wit, resourcefulness and vulnerabilities to her advantage. Don't believe me, watch Terminator 1 & 2. Alien's, Ripley has no weapon's but she's a scientist, she's smart. A child is in danger, she has pure motherly motivation of protection, of something not greater than herself. Takes on a whole damn sentiment monster in the dead of fucking space and that shit was more believable than this horse shit of a movie. Bonus Officer Anne Lewis A cop and a damn good one. She wasn't a freakish athlete or some super spy. She was a regular chick who happens to be a police officer. Why her role works so well? It's the concept of beauty and the beast. Women are never really that interesting unless they're attempting to tame something. It's the same in real life. No women wants the proto typical good guy because, he's already tamed his own inner self and for the hers of the world that's disinteresting. Any push back from that is minority based. The majority of women enjoy having a monster over a man. It's why stories as old as Frankenstein work. Guess what, not one of those chicks I named were damsels in distress and 2 of the 3 are considered all time bad asses. This campy, try too hard, forced everything, verbal vomit shit couldn't be saved 🤮🤮🤮 and I'm not against women because, the cartoon did a better job on the women. I used to watch Sailor fucking Moon in the morning after Gi Joe and Transformers. I'd watch a marathon of Sailor Moon over this horse shit and films like. You know who consistently does female heroic roles well, the Chinese and South Koreans. Xena was one of the very few successful female franchises that made the woman the main protagonist. Then think about how her core group was cast then developed. Jackie Brown for the sistas.

  1291.  @robertmccready5874    Yes, I understand all that you said, in both post, but you didn't read everything. There's no new ground to be made. I addressed everything completely already.......... Already addressed every possible avenue including supreme court and other states. Not by theory but from an >>>>>actual *LAWYER* <<<<<< Post from above you did not read In certain parts of the US you can literally be arrested for saying profanity to a police officer which is why I said, "just a general rule of thumb." Now, I'm no Lawyer or Attorney however there's many whom handle these types of issues so I'll make it easy for you, and everyone else. Oh and if you come to Virginia, I strongly suggest you keep your tongue and that of any associates you may have in check. Those officers were being NICE 👍🏾 Unprotected Speech There are categories of speech that are explicitly not protected. These free speech exceptions may be deceptively easy to tick off on a list, yet confoundingly nuanced in how they are applied. Often, it can come down to interpretation. And despite federal constitutional jurisdiction, states and even local municipalities can have their own spin on what constitutes “disorderly conduct.” Where you are can make all the difference whether you can be legitimately arrested and charged. There have always been recognized limitations on speech. Generally, you cannot make statements that incite illegal activity or imminent violence (“fighting words”), and it is acceptable for laws to restrict speech considered obscene, defamatory, or creating a foreseeable risk of harm. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of grey area. Further, not only what and how you say something, but where is critical. The shelter of the first amendment does not extend to private spaces, such as shopping malls or on the internet (we may think of these as modern-day town squares, but they’re not—somebody owns them, and can establish their own limits). And when your words are accompanied by gestures or actions perceived as threatening, the speech itself is no longer protected by the First Amendment.   Anti-Profanity, Obstruction, and Disorderly Conduct Laws Local laws and cultural standards may support broader limitations on expression. For example, several states have anti-profanity laws on their books, including in Virginia, where it’s a misdemeanor to “curse or abuse” anyone, “under circumstances reasonably calculated to provoke a breach of the peace.” Within that state, local municipalities such as Rockville go further to restrict profanity within hearing of any other person on any public street or sidewalk. Similarly, some states use statutes regarding disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace as a vehicle to limit language considered offensive. For example, Texas’ disorderly conduct statute includes using “abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place.” If convicted, a Texas disorderly conduct misdemeanor may be punishable by a fine of up to $500. Conversely, the state of Washington has determined that cursing and using abusive language against police is protected speech under the First Amendment, and does not constitute sufficient conduct to support a charge of obstructing law enforcement. In State of Washington v. E.J.J., the case mentioned at the start, the Washington Supreme Court dismissed the matter, stating that “obstruction statutes may not be used to limit citizens' right to express verbal criticism, even abusive criticism, at police officers.” In Florida, courts have found that “mere” yelling or swearing that is loud, belligerent or annoying is not enough to support a disorderly conduct conviction.

  1401.  @bruhbutwhytho  "It cost nothing but time and effort to find work online." That's what I said. Resources Library, Chamber of Commerce and Internet. Zero excuses in the modern era. You don't need a college degree to become a plumber, electrician, chimney sweeper, washer and dryer maintenance, custodian, garbage man, hot shotting, dispatcher, police officer, airport police, fireman, metro bus driver, train operator, CPA, Cyber security, armed/unarmed security, airline pilot, medical courier, options trader, dishwasher, bartender, office manager, military, online reseller, call center, fiver, Upwork and many other automated job resources are available online. Basic auto mechanic ie oil, brake, window replacement, coolant flush, etc. Car detailing as a business owner. Private power washing, commercial power washing. Real Estate agent. There's channels online of people cutting grass for free making enough to make ends meet. The vast majority of high paying jobs don't require a college degree. As a past Dean of Maryland University told me, college is for networking and figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life, it's not for getting a degree, the degree is the result of figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life. Malcom X was not college educated. Just time and effort. Home rehabilitation and demolition, landscaper, ship deck hand, flight attendant, charter bus operator, mover, street sweeper operator, road worker, Crain operator, bank teller, barber, card dealer, chauffeur, bouncer, high wire cable operator, natural resources ie park ranger, etc. Plenty of jobs that don't require a degree that pay over $100k. It's about how much you keep, not how much you spend and where to invest so 10, 20yrs later you're not still in a hole in the wall. On top of all that, anyone can start a business using there SSN and get tax benefits for doing so as a sole proprietor.

  1492. 1. Upbringing 2. Fear 3. Options 4. Preference 5. Career path 6. Health 7. Masculinity Many women lost there balance succeeding to become a strong, independent woman. The result is loneliness, childlessness and misery. That's the common result. A happily married woman with children isn't a strong independent woman. She's a balanced, interdependent woman. Upbringing: 20-24yrs was the typical marriage range. From 12 to 18 which is junior/highschool age. Is your girl being taught to be a wife, mother, wife/mother, employee or career woman?. Women have been lied to systemically to put the wagon before the horse. Fear: Never in the history of humankind has it been easier and safe to have a child. Never in recorded history of humankind have we experienced so much anxiety, fear, doubt, worry and depression surrounding children and marriage. Fear of child birth, fear of parenting, fear of financial stability, fear of divorce and fear of better options. Options: Women today have more access to options. Access to higher forms of communication via mail, telephone, and internet. Access to higher forms of transportation overtime via horse, bike, car, bus, boat, airplane and trains. LGBTQIA. Preference: tall, dark and handsome. Tall; taller than. Dark; aloof, cold, and distant personality. Handsome; symmetry. Career Path: women choose career paths prior to marriage and children. Women are told, be strong, independent, and self sufficient of a man. The government tells them we'll secure your financial future via divorce and child support. Bitter women are unchecked, and have been speaking loudly in darogatory manners about men for year's through multiple channels of social engagement. Health: Men and Women are struggling here but mostly women. It's hurt men in reducing our testosterone levels faster than usual. It's especially hurt women b/c, that's literally how you attract a suitable mate but have been told you're beautiful just the way you are. Ok, now what has the world told you based on your results. The world doesn't lie to you, your mom, friends and social groups have and will. Masculinity: Plane and simple, men are demonized for being masculine. Literally for being men. Women Stop making things complicated. Women have more options in current society and have been fed continuous lies about going to college, getting a career and waiting until they are 30-35yrs to marry, have children and start a family. Women become less attractive to men past 25 when compared to 18-24. Men In regards to men, men have developed anxiety, and anxiousness toward women out of fear of being shamed, arrested, labeled a rapist, sexual harassment, and divorce losing half or all they've worked for including their children where courts are 90% likely to side with the woman. Also the steep decline in attractiveness towards women over 30, physically, socially and psychologically. I'm no expert, just the avg. guy with logic and leadership skills.

  1605. I think offending women is going to be the best way to get a match. What do I mean? You can't be over a dress size 4. You can't be taller than 5'8 If you wear wigs or weave, pass. Your profile must include a head shot, a full body shot in a dress and an activity. You will pay for the first outing, my time is not for charity. If you are a man and you're on a dating site, sorry to tell you but selfie photos are a no go. Have a professional or amateur photographer and stylist do your images and edit them. Make sure you have something else she can attach herself to ie a Dog, Cat, Lion, Tiger, Bird, etc. Women do not look at men the way we look at women. Yes you damn near need to be perfect in attire and show some form of fitness ie healthy physique. Facial structure/expression, shoulders back and broad, chest forward and back upright. Attire Suit & tie, tie pen, watch, handkerchief, ring, cufflinks, nice shoes, clean haircut or hairstyle done the same day, beard & mustache lined up or clean shaven even if stuble (no patches, if you have patches shave it off or have your barber fill it in). Glasses ie specs. Nails done and clean (clipped, filed, cleaned) Hat is optional. Cologne is mandatory even for photos. Use makeup if you need to balance your complexion ie foundation lightly applied by a MUA. After your shoot, go out and cold approach with what you have on. You might not even need the profile. You can at least start off the conversation with why you're so dressed up. You basically want a GQ spread as your profile. Group shots with friend's. Women want to see social interactions whether it be with an animal, or person. Including a car is optional, you can rent something nice right off Toro. As sad as it is women like to be lied (they will deny, deny, deny until they turn blue in the face). They like standards especially ones they don't qualify for. They live in a fantasy world and they have unrealistic fantasy expectations. Don't be afraid to post a bulge pic which can be done in blue jeans, beach shorts, or a wet suit at a beach. Fitness Protein: 1 gram of protein per body weight pound per day. Calories: 10 calories per pound of body weight per day. (If you weight 200lbs eat 2000cal per day) Water: 1gal of water per day Lifting: weights or resistance training 3-5x week for minimum 30min. Sleep: get 6-8hrs uninterrupted sleep every night (cover your eyes, not just closed) Cardio: do some form of walking, jogging or sprinting for at least 15-30min per day. This fitness regimen should be your base for the remainder of your life. Fish has the best density for protein, low calories and good fats and vitamins. Fruit is good for digestion and mental stability. Limit carbs intake.
