What Petey hasn't brought up is that some kids keep to themselves not because they're awkward, or even introverted, but because they find the concerns of other kids uninteresting. I was a very, very sociable little kid, but when hanging around other kids my own age, I noticed that nobody was interested in much of anything but the pecking order--who was bigger, who could beat up who, who was most athletic etc. No-one was interested in anything creative, or any kind of discussion about anything other than who knew who, and who was popular or "dominant".
Despite being very friendly by nature, I simply found being in groups very dull because of the monotonous nature of the pecking-order discussions. So, I've lived almost my entire life in near-total isolation.

Good ol' Canada, where you need to take out a mortgage to get a doghouse.
Everyone needs a place to live, but as a born-and-bred Canadian I just can't help but think of buying a house, even a nice one, as being a relatively trivial goal over the course of an entire human lifespan. Canadians seem to make house ownership out to be the ultimate life experience, the really BIG thing that life is all about, and the ultimate life goal/experience.
Ultimately, it's just a bloody house, and you need a place to live. No idea why it's so insanely expensive, Canada is almost entirely empty space! You could cram the entire world's population and all of its buildings into our country and easily have room left for many times as many people and buildings, with tons of room to spare.
Yet, Canadians treat real estate as if it's a rare and precious commodity despite having more of the shit available than almost any other country on the planet, and see it as if it's the main point of being alive--to the point of sacrificing your whole life just for a building to live in and watch TV after work. Damned if I know why.

Local stationary energy storage for sustainable energy systems doesn't require high energy density though, which is the expensive part and also the very dangerous part. For bulk stationary storage the only requirement is that it's very cheap per unit of storage and can operate at part-charge without damage. Unfortunately, lead-acids don't fit the bill because even though they're relatively cheap and very safe, they get damaged unless maintained at 100% charge.
Nickel-based chemistries are too expensive, lithium-ion is far too dangerous in large aircraft-hangar sized installations and tends to be very expensive as well. Perhaps LFP (lithium ferrophosphate) cells would be a good intermediate solution for local bulk storage but they are still far too expensive. Their cycle life and calendar life are outstanding, though.
For large cities like Toronto, Montreal, NYC, L.A. and the like, having huge local battery storage systems might be a really good idea to relieve power stations from conditions of peak demand. It's just that battery technology is too dangerous and much too expensive right now.
The highest possible energy density is only necessary for EVs, and is especially necessary for electric aircraft. The best current battery tech is much too dangerous and expensive, so even the best EVs are a very costly niche product and likely will remain so for many decades. They can get away with it for relatively small numbers of very expensive luxury & performance oriented vehicles, but EV still have no way to compete with internal combustion engines for low cost and high practicality & convenience. Long-range low-cost practical air travel entirely on green energy is a dream for the future--and an actual goal for the distant future.

@andrewellard7254 Wrong, that isn't the way they work. I guess you're fortunate enough to have never been a targeted individual. Let it be known that the world you live in is absolutely, completely, utterly insane and when it comes to stopping psychos and/or malignant narcissists from stalking you, only extreme violence works.
If a psychopath is stalking you, there's little point in wasting your time with the police. They're one and the same--they see life the same way, everything to them is all about power over people and the so-called "natural order," talking about human beings as if we're barely conscious and are nothing but dumb animals in a zoo, with lives and identities that are determined only by a power structure determined by nothing but harassment, interference and violence (which many "people" really are, including LOTS of cops--some of them are the absolute worst of them all.)

Congratulations Felinehyper, you're normal :) hehehe
Actually, I've been in a similar boat for many years, the basic problem here being that I find normal life bores me to tears and leaves me feeling unmotivated.
Job title, new car, 2.3 kids in line to be doctors and lawyers, and of course that universal prerequisite: Bragging about "how much hard work it was to get where I am today, but I worked hard for the privilege of bragging about how hard I worked". I'm sure you've heard it all before.
None of it does anything for me. I have no problem with it, I just find it very dull, and too damn much work for something I don't indentify with. You know, like a zillion other people :)

@openthinker6562 Those are as good as marked police cars because sometimes people will notice them. They're low-profile so as to not warrant excessive attention, but lights where there aren't usually any, unusual grilles/tires/features etc. might mean it's actually a police car. Cops inside are a giveaway, too.
Truly unmarked police cars are impossible to distinguish, they could just look like a soccer mom driving to a PTA meeting :) But, it's a real cop with a real badge & real gun, they have a portable radio, and a magnetic light in the car they can place on the roof when chasing you. They just look like ordinary cars, with an officer inside in plain clothes.
The lady in the Volvo wagon next to you at a traffic light listening to Celine Dion with grocery bags in the back seat could be a cop. The nice doggy looking out the window and panting away wagging its tail means they could be a K9 unit, and if there's a nice bag of good weed in your pocket, you betcher ass that dog knows it's there, and he probably has had it figured out for the 20 miles you've been driving in front of them with your windows down before reaching that stop light :)

Sometimes our species is absolutely disgraceful.
I've always maintained that, even in the Western world, but especially anywhere there are terrorists, that young girls should always be raised around firearms and taught how to shoot pistols at a reasonably young age. If they grow up to be attractive they should always, always, always have quick and convenient access to loaded pistols. I'm Canadian, nowhere near ISIL, but I've seen more than my fair share of disgusting, disgraceful antisocial behavior in my 41 years--many of it in high school, which was an absolute rape-fest.
If I were a young female, or even a reasonably attractive middle-aged one, I'd never want to be anywhere without a loaded gun--especially in a terrorist state!

@jessejames863 Yes it is. Well, I'm from Canada, but close enough.
Living in your car is illegal because you're living without paying property tax, and that's all there is to it. There's nothing wrong with living in your vehicle if you want to do so, it isn't unethical or harmful to anyone, but it's against the law because you're living without paying any tax on the land you're occupying--the place you park your car.
Simply existing for free isn't allowed in modern countries. If you exist, you MUST pay tax on the land you occupy, i.e. your place of residence. If you rent a place, the property tax is included in the rent. If you own a house you must pay the property tax on it as a second charge in addition to your mortgage payment to the bank.
Existing in a country without paying tax on the land you're on is a criminal offense and that's all there is to it. It has nothing to do with whether or not you live in a car, it's just because you're standing/sleeping on the land.
You could try telling the judge, "Ok, your honor, I'll move into a little apartment if you wish. But, YOU have to pay for it because I can't afford one." See how far that gets you--you'll wind up in the slammer, or even in some kind of homeless shelter, which is probably worse--AND you'll have to pay your entire paycheck for it!

@c0ya1 I agree with you man, we have a 1993 FD RX-7 that's been sitting up in the garage for many, many years now. Lovely machine, needs a little engine work. Having it sitting there makes me sad, I've more or less outgrown the car "fetish" (I'm 46 y.o. now) but having that little beauty up there reminds me that the boring, mundane, everyday nuisance of driving a vehicle is something I used to really enjoy.
Our base model RAV4 is a well-made vehicle that has served us well, but it just doesn't have the same "zing" to it as the RX-7! Of course, it also doesn't have the same fuel consumption as the FD, and doesn't have the FD's expensive taste for ultra-premium gas, either.

@nullenbuffeh3201 It's not age-shaming, that's something entirely different. It has little to do with the wall, and more to do with chronological age itself, although the two are related.
Sometimes, on very rare occasions, some people are extremely attractive in their 30s, and even their 40s--it's almost unheard of because its so rare, probably only one in many thousands uopn thousands of people, but it can, and does, happen. They don't have age-shaming. There are women in their 30s that are still 10s--but maybe only one in 100,000.

Henry Ford himself might have been a half-decent car designer and quasi-competent semi-professional engineer, what made Henry so remarkable was that without a fat degree from "Harvard" (or whatever) was he was a MASTER capitalist.
You don't become massively successful by fucking everyone as hard as possible to make a profit. You become massively successful by ENABLING everyone. You ENABLE them to better themselves by obeying the rules and not fucking anyone over: Your own willingness to WORK is what EARNED you a better life, not "being powerful" so you can get away with screwing people.
That's why Henry Ford was so remarkable, because he understood how capitalism REALLY works, and how to make people really work for the greater benefit as well as personal benefit.
It had NOTHING to do with cars.
In today's world, there's no room for Henry Ford because life is much too expensive now due to the easy availability of loans for consumer shit (credit cards). You cannot live a good life simply through your own hard work. You either inherit big money or you fuck people over, plain and simple.
It's our own fault: people can only be conventionally successful (house, car, children, and consumer shit at a reasonably young age) by borrowing money so they can live beyond their means. Now you've screwed yourself. If you earn an honest living and live within your means, you cannot live tolerably nor can you even attract a female unless she's already old.

Of course they're seeking fame and recognition, that's how you become wealthy.
Why would a person with an artistic nature, a person who's mind craves creativity and inspiration, ever want to work for a living? Working is for the fucking birds. It's heartbreakingly tedious and soul-crushing. But, you can buy THINGS that prove you're better than everybody else! Look at "Joe", he's HARD-WORKING, look how big his house is, he has a later-model BMW, and he always has the latest smartphone.
Why would an artist ever care about that shit? You have to become famous to become wealthy so you aren't stuck in the futile, tedious grind of working for a living just to brag about stupid material possessions. Artists are primarily motivated by love for what they produce, not what they consume, so working like a dog just to buy things probably isn't the primary drive in their lives like it is for normal people.

I've never been married. Not man enough I guess.
A married man's greatest regret is seeing his wife aging, realizing she's not that special and he just thought about her with his crotch instead of his mind and heart.
A married woman's greatest regret is realizing that her husband just happened to have a certain job and will NOT become a millionaire, or a billionaire, or a multi-billionaire, or a trillionaire, or a multi-trillionaire, or a quadrillionaire, or a multi-quadrillionaire, or a quintillionaire, or a multi-quadrillionaire, or a quintillionaire, or a multi-quintillionaire, or a sextillionaire, or a multi-sextillionaire, or a septillionaire, or a multi-spetillionaire...
etc., etc., etc., ETCTERA.

In a nutshell:
--In Canada, there are no gun rights. Licensed privilege only, very strictly controlled.
--Pistols allowed only at ranges. No exceptions.
--No carry of any kind, ever, no exceptions, not even unloaded. Must be locked up and un-accessible when in transit, remove gun from trunk of car ONLY at the range
--Guns can be confiscated by the police at any time, for no reason, even with no history of crime, squeaky-clean life, related to Mother Theresa etc. etc. etc.
They will NOT pay you for them, they just take them, and it's your problem. You will NOT get them back, ever. No criminal charges, no court order etc. necessary.
--Owning a gun in Canada will put you on "police watch" for the rest of your life. They will track your every move and know more than YOU do about your personal life.
With the exception of hunting, guns in Canada are essentially dangerous toys and nothing more. You may NOT defend yourself with one. Doing so is a far bigger criminal offense than whatever your attacker does to you--including attempting to kill you.

Don't forget that lots of popular music, or 'chart music' as you described it, is specifically written and performed a certain way--it's a deliberate attempt at commercial success in the short-term. They aren't trying to write any songs that are moving, relatable, or even all that good--in other words, they're written for a widely-consumable style, not to be moving or relatable art, and not to have any kind of long-term staying power.
The simple fact is that's it's easier to sell a Miley Cyrus tune than it is to sell a Rush song or a Tool song. Actually, one of the really surprising success stories in the world of music is, for me at least, the British band Dire Straits.
I'm surprised anyone in North America listened to them at all, never mind how huge they were when I was a kid.

A lot of drama and hype over a gasoline engine.
F1 engines are relatively expensive because they don't build very many of them. For the amount of time and effort required to design, build, develop, and produce a very small number of engines, each individual engine represents a very high cash expenditure.
That's why they cost so much. It has very little to do with machining tolerances, gas pressures, mechanical forces, or power output.
It's because of the very small production numbers.
If you buy a vacuum cleaner, it might cost 100 bucks. But, if you want one custom-made to your exact specifications, a "Formula One vacuum cleaner" that has exact specs for size, weight, motor power, airflow, and dirt particle filtering allowance, and you will only buy 50 of them instead of a whole market consuming them by the hundreds of thousands or even by the millions, that ONE vacuum cleaner will it will cost you $500,000 instead of only $100.
THAT is why these engines cost so much. It doesn't have anything to do with part sizes and tolerances, pressures, or forces being "special" compared to a Toyota Camry engine, it's because the market for these exact engines is so small while the amount of work required to develop and produce them is the same as any other gasoline engine.

YESSSS! Malignant Narcissism! I like cars but don't even own one anymore, back when I was young and into cars (~20 to 25 years ago) the sheer toxicity really fucked with me. Bitching, whining, and INCESSANT theft and vandalism. I had an '87 RX-7 Turbo II, 10 years old when I bought it in 1997, constantly stolen and vandalized--even including shit like people actually removing the cat converter and replacing it with a blocked one, removing ball joints and replacing then with old worn-out ones that were ready to fail, removing the ENTIRE braking system and replacing it with worn-out junk, and the ultimate: Actually REMOVING the fucking CLUTCH, and replacing it with a junk one!
That must have been a HELL of a lot of hard work, just to waste somebody else's hard work! Cars did teach me a lot about human nature though, my old RX-7 really taught me what pathetic losers people are--and how much sheer hard work people are willing to put into being pathetic losers, instead of getting a JOB and maybe earning a decent car for themselves, they put years of hard work into wasting MINE.
Absolute true story.
Look people, it's STILL just a CAR.
For Christsakes.

@evilisforbidden3981 Interesting perspective, I tend to agree with you. Life is found in... Life, not in books. On the other hand, books can be an effective way for people to store and retrieve information that you might be able to use to develop various skills and abilities, gain some ideas to pursue, or otherwise go about getting something done and generally making life happen in your life. Think of books as a kind of hard disk that doesn't need electricity. It's a form of data storage.
But, to claim that "reading a book" is, in and of itself, somehow virtuous or intrinsically valuable simply because you're doing it is nonsense. Oh, you "read a lot of books"? The NUMBER of books you read in such-and-such a timeframe is greater than mine? Ok, I access my hard disk more times per second than you do. I keep the bigger program files on an SSD, and use the hard disk for bulk storage. I defragment that bitch from time to time as well! So, there, too! :)

I used to play with rotaries, they're neat little gadgets and quite ingenious, but you're still better off with a piston engine. The lower thermal efficiency is a direct result of the Wankel's greater combustion chamber surface area, and that's it. Nothing to do with plug location, port timing or location etc. Sealing was very good on RX-7 engines, but of course they had to use oil injection, and that in conjunction with high fuel consumption means that emissions compliance is that much harder to achieve. And frankly, a high specific fuel consumption and difficulty reaching emissions requirements will kill a powerplant for use in cars--simple as that.
If you like funky power systems in your cars, have a fascination with rotating machinery for whatever reason, want to drive something really zippy, and have the dough to back it up--buy a Tesla :)

I find it very hard to believe that any modern fighter would end up as a 'turkey'. They already know how it will perform and handle before they build the first prototype! Aero engineering is not a shot in the dark--they already know what they're building even before they actually build the first one. I'd assume everyone knows that, but if you didn't, now you do. They're not going to build junk, especially not at that cost.
That being said, the unit cost certainly is insane. You'd think they'd just refine and update the already outstanding F-16 fighter design, and build fresh ones. A bit of modernization and you have a world-class fighter good for decades--better engine, radar, that full-visibility helmet, radar-absorbent coating, and you're good to go--at what, about 1/4 of the cost of the F-35?

@lukazupie7220 YES! We have higher expectations, so they have higher prices because each car is a lot more work to produce now.
The part that sucks is you can't really buy a basic well-made durable car. Pushrod 4-cylinder, manual, no trip computer or even a tachometer!, no A/C, no stereo, no airbags, no USB/Bluetooth or phone interface, no backup camera, no plush interior trim, no buttons and screens and crap for power-adjustable trivia. Just a good car that's JUST A GOOD CAR.
No such thing exists because even people on welfare wouldn't want to buy it--and they couldn't afford it anyway. So they just use their welfare to deal drugs and buy a used BMW :)

Here it is a nutshell:
Car and airplanes have conflicting, actually opposite, requirements.
Cars have to travel on the ground for very long distances, so they must have rugged, durable suspension and tires. They need a durable steering mechanism. They have to have large, durable brakes. They need a very rigid body for driving on real-world roads without coming apart. That makes the car heavy. The wheels are powered directly for best efficiency and low noise.
Airplanes have to be very light. They only travel very short distances on the ground. They need a propeller (or jet engine) for powered flight.
Building one vehicle that can both fly, and be highway-capable (and legal) is entirely possible. But due to those conflicting requirements, it will be extremely expensive--but it won't be a very good car, and it won't be a very good airplane.
You're better off having a plane only for flying, and a separate car for driving.
So, you can have a flying car if you want one. But it sucks for both driving and flying, and costs a fortune--it costs more than having a separate car and plane, and its performance sucks in either mode, especially for the price!

And he would be wrong, because Canadians by definition actually ARE Americans because we live in North America. Just like Mexicans :)
The word "American" ultimately just means a person that lives in the Western-most land mass. But in popular usage we use it to describe people that live in the United States.
The linguistics themselves are trivial and mostly irrelevant, we all know what somebody means when they describe themselves as American.
As a Canadian, I consider the underlying meaning of being American, someone from the United States of America, as having two fundamental meanings:
1) You accept tyranny, corruption and outright criminality as basic elements of normal everyday life.
2) Through the human spirit and will to overcome, you DEFY them in order to live and let live, become the best person you can be despite government and/or criminal bullshit (often the same thing, but not always.) A lot of this spirit of defiance against government and criminal bullshit requires extreme violence, which is the only useful way of defying bullshit (i.e. deliberate interference with legitimate personal pursuits--the will to better yourself.)
As a Canadian, our country sadly lacks this spirit of life and defiance against bullshit. I consider Canada to be a very mediocre country. Yet, I have never lived in the United States, keep that in mind if you're American.
Unfortunately many of our American neighbours seem to feel that their country is so mired in bullshit that there's no way for any mortal human to dig their way out.
I'm an atheist, but if I were religious I would pray for America. Canada went to hell a long time ago and there's no hope for us, not in my own lifetime anyway.
America still embodies for me the spirit of defiance against bullshit, with "bullshit" being defined as deliberate interference with legitimate (non-antisocial) personal pursuits and the overall PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.
Canada is all about bullshit, and the desperate pursuit of comfort at the expense of the masses.
America, for me, represents the DEFIANCE against bullshit to get to what's real--the PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE.

@MakeThatChange "Minimalist" means living a small life as cheaply as possible so that you don't have to work yourself to death, and have time and money for better things.
Rent a small cheap apartment, or buy a very small house. Buy a used car that's very small, and a base model with no fancy features, no power-adjustable anything, no fancy stereo etc. Just a basic cheap car.
Cook all your food from scratch using inexpensive ingredients.
Buy cheap clothes, possibly used.
That way, you don't have to work like a dog all the time, and you'll have time and energy for actually living, instead of just working all the time, and you don't have to worry about drowning in debt all the time either.
Problem is, Canada is so expensive that people can't afford a minimalist lifestyle. Rent/mortgage, bills, & insurance for your home & vehicle? There goes all your money, hope you like working on the weekends.

I'm Canadian, does FHP mean Florida Highway Patrol?
If so, when the cop took your own gun and pointed it at you, he committed criminal offenses, he violated your Florida-recognized Constitutional right to KnBA (aka 2A) if you're 21 or older, and he brandished a weapon, against a private citizen (sweeping you with the gun muzzle.)
Also, he vandalized your personal property by dropping it, and owes you a nice brand-new one that has NEVER been handled by a stupid fucking cop.
For the trivial "offense" of driving a car at highway speed while driving on a highway, he committed FOUR very serious criminal offenses!
1) theft (it's your gun, he has his own and doesn't need yours, you have the RIGHT to have it)
2) brandishing (sweeping you with his or your gun)
3) criminal negligence (same as #2, but for different reasons)
4) vandalism of private property (damaging your gun by dropping it)
...but at least you got out of a speeding ticket!
Finally, if Officer Pigshit there was a "Firearms Instructor", which he was NOT, he would have known better than to point it at you under ANY circumstances--not just checking to see if it was clear. He had to check because he didn't KNOW if it was clear--that's why he did it, and a firearms instructor, even a young and inexperienced beginner, would know that you NEVER, EVER DO THAT with the gun pointing at somebody!!
It's like being a zitty ass teenager, learning to drive, and your driving instructor shows up DRUNK.

I guess it's not the most politically correct thing to say, but are the Taliban really all that much worse than the "legitimate" Afghan government (such as it is?)
In other words, NATO jumps ship and the Taliban completely take over. How is that any worse? Was the original Afghan government any less psychopathic than the Taliban?
Now, the US government can find better things to do with their 10s of trillions of dollars, such as fixing things back home. Potholes, urban blight, general deterioration of infrastructure, working poor, gang fights, devilishly expensive healthcare, that sort of thing. Why waste that kind of cash on Afghanistan? It's a total shithole. Why the hell would anyone ever want to live there in the first place let alone have a family there? It isn't the USA's problem, let alone all of NATO!
The only problem is if the terrorists end up controlling enough of the oil wealth to develop their own in-house nuclear weapons. Then we're all totally fucked.

That's a classic complaint. Pretty universal to driving. Limit's this, traffic's going that, keep up with the traffic and you're breaking the law, do the limit and you're impeding traffic flow.
I've always maintained that they should just set an arbitrarily high speed limit, say, 90-100 MPH (or about 150 km/h here in Canada) and very rigidly enforce that. Going 10 over is a $10,000 fine and loss of license for 3 years, going 20 over is permanent loss of license and $50,000 fine, 30 over is 5 years in prison and loss of license and vehicle.) That way, the traffic can get a fucking move on like it's supposed to, but the speed LIMIT prevents people from ridiculously abusing the public highways.
Canadian major highways (400 series) have a 100 km/h speed limit, which is about 60 MPH. It's ridiculous and everyone blatantly ignores it. 150 km/h would be much more realistic and reasonable as an actual speed LIMIT.

This always comes up among Canadians, and I've been as guilty of it as anyone, but Canada wouldn't be doing well for itself to design and develop it's own fighter jets anymore. It hasn't been that way since the Avro Arrow days (and no, there's no point in 'resurrecting' the Arrow, because it wouldn't be any good for anything today.)
In a nutshell, it's actually cheaper for us to buy US-made fighters instead of developing them ourselves. That being said, the price of the F-35 is ridiculous for Canada. If Canada is willing to go with single-engine multirole fighters, buying F-16s would be a better bet--they'd cost us about 1/10th as much as the F-35. If we don't want to buy used aircraft, we could consider buying the design and tooling from the US, and producing our own F-16s, using US-built radar and avionics.
But, attempting to develop our own fighter from scratch is a no-go.

High-value men are very rare but remarkable even if only because they're extremely wealthy.
High-value women are trivial. They're equally rare, but are only high-value because they're very young and very gorgeous. Big deal, their "value" will quickly deteriorate over time, and they won't even be really old yet!
So, take all this high-value nonsense with a dump truck full of salt. If you're an HV male, your mega-bucks are still mega-bucks when you're old and ugly (if you were ever attractive at all.) No woman, even ugly ones, would have given you the time of day if it weren't for your money--even when you were young and handsome and you KNOW that if you're a man.
If you're an HV woman, then ~95% of the time you're underage anyway. If you can keep it up well past the age of 18 then it's still purely genetic--and it's already on a downhill slide. You were born with the single most valuable commodity in all of human history: Female youth and beauty, but it ain't worth SHIT if you can't turn it into mega-bucks.
So, both sexes are equally fucked, just in different ways.

So, what you're saying here, is that if you regularly clean and maintain your Chea-Pass (oh sorry, I meant, Hi-Point) pistol, it's actually a really great defensive weapon because it's extremely durable and reliable?
Frankly, the whole driving-over-it thing made it look like you were trying to destroy it. With very expensive guns, people clean, oil and generally maintain them meticulously, so they're going to be pretty reliable if they're decently made. But, this puppy can be neglected and abused and still works.
Looks like a fantastic-quality piece to me. Any other thoughts? How about putting 1,000 rounds through it and report back to us?

Probably because most people, even young ones, don't really have friends anyway. They have numbers, they have "MORE friends than YOU, loser" but they don't have companionship--they only have image.
They become adults, and have nothing to say. They do nothing but work, that's their entire lives! Not much point in being around others when your entire life revolves exclusively around the desperate pursuit of money.
Guys do, in fact, get bored drinking beers and bragging about sex. Women do, in fact, get bored talking about clothes, babies, and houses and which other women are "jealous."
When there's nothing to talk about, there's no point in having others around.

@AnyoneCanSee You're forgetting that so-called "small" crimes add up. After decades of home invasions, attacks, and constant theft of personal effects, you're ready to kill a lot of people even if you're a pacifist like myself.
I live in Canada and we have had absolutely incessant home invasions (including rape, theft, vandalism, aggravated assault, and even torture) for as long as I've been alive, 44 years now.
For humans, killing is just a basic necessity of life. There's no freedom, dignity, or pursuit of happiness without killing people. It's just human nature.

NO. No we do not. Jordan Peterson is the sort that think words and religion are the universal cure-alls for what ails humanity.
He seems bright enough but is NOT cut out to lead Canada. When is the last time Jordan Peterson shot and killed anyone, even police?
His entire life has been mostly academia and he is NOT cut out for politics even though psychologists are master manipulators.
Jordan talks too fucking much and while politicians do things like that, they also have to have the power to stop corruption and it does NOT come from words or laws or woke bullshit. It comes from being a killer.
You stop corruption by killing people, plain and simple and I have a hankering that Dr. Peterson isn't cut out for it.
A national leader must be able to kill by his own hands. There is no real power without terror and blood, and if he has no real power then he cannot be Canada's leader.
A good leader is bright, articulate, a great thinker and planner, very highly conscientious, immune to woke bullshit, detests abuse of power, has exceptional problem-solving skills, and is a KILLER.
Because being a highly conscientious but cold-blooded KILLER is how you stop corruption.

BEST modern feature: Today's cars are just a hell of a lot better than anything built before them. Better handling and acceleration, better brakes, steering and suspension, last longer without rusting out, require fewer repairs, and are relatively maintenance-free for the most part outside of oil changes, tires and brakes.
WORST modern feature: They're all too damned expensive, and on the rare case of a major problem (such as transmission failure) the repairs cost a FORTUNE.
30 years ago a used transmission from a popular vehicle bought from a wrecker with 150,000 miles on it might have been 100 bucks. Today, the same old used transmission is $5,000 or more and it's the same thing: It might last a whole year or even two, or it might fail again in 3 days.
Cars and spare parts today are insanely expensive, but today's new cars are MUCH better.

It isn't blue-pill conditioning. Many guys are naturally affectionate people, and want an affectionate attachment with a female. It's called "nature", kids. Nothing to do with this blue-pill red-pill bullshit.
The problem is, and it's not really a problem of course, Elon Musk is filthy rich! That means he spends his female-time with gorgeous women who are much younger than him.
Elon is a normal looking guy. When supermodels spend time with him, it's only because he's rich. He needs to understand that (and frankly, I'm sure he does.)
When you're a multi-billionaire, you don't buy a Ford, you buy a Ferrari. But when it comes to human beings, Fords (plain women) are just more endearing and lovable as people than Ferraris (supermodels). The Fords don't get spoiled rotten just because of their appearance, so they have a more realistic view of themselves, and are more appreciative.
BTW, "bumbling nerd"? Elon Musk is the fucking MAN. He just has more pressing concerns (i.e. trying to GET THINGS DONE) than trying to play James Bond.

@makingitthrough190 A Watt is a unit of physical power, it can be electrical, mechanical or even thermal (heat) or light, or sound.
If you have an electrical power source, the power in Watts is the voltage times current. So, a 12-volt light bulb using 5 amperes of current (like a car headlight) would be 12V x 5A = 60 Watts of power.
In physics, energy is the amount of physical change that can occur, or has already occurred. Heating an object up or cooling it down, speeding something up or slowing it down, that sort of deal--it means energy has been transferred (physical work has been done.)
Power is how quickly energy is transferred--alternatively, how quickly physical change occurs--how quickly physical work gets done, if you wish.
A Watt of power is one Joule of energy per second. One Joule is the energy needed to change the temperature of one gram of pure water by 0.24 degrees C.
So, if you heat up or cool down a gram of water 0.24C per second, that's one Watt of power.

I'm an atheist, I will never be able to truly believe that the universe was deliberately created by a supernatural super-intelligence for the purpose of discovering some kind of Ultimate Truth about the value of consciousness itself, whether biological or otherwise.
But if there is only ONE human being I wished I could hang out with in this insignificantly short life, it would be Mr. Jesus Christ Himself.
If nothing else I bet Jesus would have been one holy hell of a brilliant punk rock lyricist.
And bassist! I bet Scott Shiflett could rock out with Jesus :)
Honestly, I'm an atheist through and through but it's considered a matter of historical fact that Jesus Christ was a real-life, living, breathing human being.
I really wish I could have met him, without all the religious bullshit interfering with a damn cool hang.
Roll a nice doob, put on some great tunes, pull out the ol' bass guitar and just listen to the man chat with me about his own perspectives on life, the universe, consciousness itself, and maybe a few anecdotes about dear ol' Dad. That would be awesome.
Especially without all the usual bullshit about jobs, bills, real estate, kids' "education" and all that fucking crap.
More than anything, I just REALLY want to know what punk lyrics Jesus would write. I bet it would move me to tears, which is the ultimate goal of truly great art.
Jesus wasn't a hippie, he wouldn't sound like John Denver (bless his soul, and that's coming from an atheist.)
Jesus was a PUNK.

I used to play with cars, it can be a cool hobby, but yeah there's a lot of childish drivel. Probably always will be. The car hobby in particular seems to attract a lot of narcissists, no idea why but it's specifically cars.
With regards to hyper-inflated prices, these old cars are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them. It's just how capitalism works. If someone is willing to pay a million bucks for your old Corolla, then that's what it's worth.
They're still just cars, drive what you like within your budget and that's that. People get REALLY bent out of shape over cars though! It's always, "Oh, you SHOULD have bought this, or you SHOULD have bought that" and "You HAVE to do this mod, you HAVE to do that mod, you HAVE to get this, you SHOULD do that." No you don't, you can drive your car completely stock if that's what you like.

A lot of people have been asking this, and I'm glad that there are some people in the world that can actually think, but I'll ask it again just for good measure:
Why the fuck does anyone visit North Korea? Why on earth would you ever want to waste your time in a total shithole? Do you think it makes you hip to some kind of scene? Do you think you get coolness/hipness/worldliness points for it, like bragging about visiting France or Italy and eating in expensive restaurants?
I feel sorry for Otto, I really do--but if he was supposed to be so damn smart, what the fuck was he thinking going there? While we're at it, why not just re-start the Nazi regime in Germany, just so we can go for a visit? Maybe they'll have some Bratwurst for us.
I'm Canadian, and frankly, our part of the world is fucked up enough as it is. Stay the fuck away from North Korea, idiots. It's not like they need your tourist dollars for their nuclear warhead development program.
Finally, if and when those fools attack the USA, it'll be the last thing they ever do. After that, they'll be called the "Korean Basin".

That's not how bureaucracy works, though. It expands as much as possible to consume as much of the total resource pool (taxes) as possible, for the primary goal of having as much power over the people as it possibly can.
In other words, the organization as a whole has a mind of its own, and it will grow uncontrolled to become as large and all-consuming as possible. It's just the nature of organizations that do not have to provide their own resources, and exist primarily to have power over people.
All other organizations are inherently self-limiting, such as businesses for example. A business must make its own money by it own effort, and must function reasonably well in order to survive first, and ultimately prosper. That simply isn't the case with bureaucracy, which is parasitic by nature and function, just like a big & dominant street gang.

Hyperloop. Vaccuum-tunnel high speed train. Sounds cool, funky, futuristic, high-tech and all that horseshit.
So, are they ever gonna DO it, or just jibba-jabba incessantly about it for another 20 years?
Yeah, it's expensive and a hell of a lot of work, but it's not a spacecraft, kids. A manned mission to Mars is understandably a very complex, expensive and dangerous endeavour.
This is a really zippy choo-choo. Build it already, or bugger off :)

Money and beauty ARE virtues. They're desirable characteristics that people find appealing, so they're virtues. If you're talking about "character", well, that's somewhat arbitrary. Character can be considered one's sense of ethics and one's attitudes towards various aspects of life in general. People's preferences for aspects of character vary greatly between individuals, for example, young girls often prefer domineering and sometimes even very arrogant, belligerent young guys, which an adult woman that wants a husband wouldn't want as much because such guys are difficult to tolerate having around, and tend to make their life together miserable. Some guys like more conservative women, some guys just like 'em easy :)
However, all other things being equal, men's preference for women that are young and very attractive, and women's preference for men that are very handsome and/or have very high incomes, is pretty universal. It isn't something people *choose*, it's a default condition because that's how our species evolved over many, many generations.

The phrase "mass market electric car" and the price of $35,000 (US dollars!!) directly clash with each other.
Tesla kicks ass, but sorry Elon, most people who work for a living would be nuts to buy a $35,000 car! Get the price down to about half that, and keep the 300-mile-per-charge range, and you've got a run-away winner on your hands.
But, 35 Grand?! That's a HELL of a lot of money for most people who have to go to work every day. Sorry, but it is. That's a lot of mortgage payments for most people, never mind a damn car!! It's equal to about $50,000 Canadian, which is nuts just for a set of wheels.
So, the Model 3 is still an expensive niche product for now. Still a cool car though.

@rockethead7 Technology is knowledge. It's not the physical artifacts, such as engines, hulls, guidance computers etc. etc. Technology isn't physical things--it's the knowledge of how to build things and make things work.
If they wanted to build another moon rocket, it would be a big, expensive project, but it would be much easier today than it was in the 1960s. None of the technology was "lost", it has been developed and improved. There's no need for archaic devices like the Saturn V or the old moon landers, anything built today would be better, more reliable, and probably even cheaper.
They don't go back to the moon because it's expensive and very dangerous, not because the knowledge of how to do it was lost! They know more about it today than they ever did! Frankly, it would probably be fairly easy today, but still dangerous, and they've already gone, so why bother?
The goal today is getting to Mars one day, not to the moon--been there, done that, move on.

I've never heard anyone say that when somebody buy a house, even in their 20s. A normal house is insanely expensive compared to almost any car, even exotic cars. Nobody says it though. People only see the car (or the new computer, new TV, stereo equipment, whatever) and they can never, ever see the actual WORK.
You worked for it, bought it at an agreed upon price, and it's yours. If it's not stolen and the money isn't stolen, you deserve it.
People are fucked eh? What the hell is it about cars instead of anything and everything else except for some consumer stuff, but even then it's rare?

Not to be a buzzkill, but for only double the price, you can buy a new F-16 Falcon fighter jet, good for over 1,500 MPH. It also has an air-to-air radar, a bigass gun, and supports the best air-to-air missiles.
So, this car is a really, and I mean *REALLY*, shitty value. If you can afford this car, you can probably afford your very own F-16, one of the world's top-performing fighter jets!!
This kind of money for a car is beyond insane. Koenigsegg is marketing themselves to people with far more money than brains.

Many guys, if not most of them (myself included) consider about 18-23 to be the peak of female attractiveness. If an older man is very wealthy then of course he will try to go after 18-23 year old women, that's typically when their physical attractiveness peaks, so she may as well be with a guy who has reached the peak of his income. The only problem is they probably won't be able to relate, because an older wealthy man is highly unlikely to care in the slightest about who's jealous of what he wears, how dominant he is in a bar/nightclub fight, or how popular he is. Older men have long ago outgrown that stuff, and that goes double if he made himself wealthy through his own effort. He's fully grown up and wants to enjoy his life on ONLY his own terms, and young women who have peaked in appearance will not tolerate that because they're at the age where they want to see their boyfriends dominate, dominate, and dominate as well as having the image to make her friends jealous.

I'm pretty sure it's already like that, and always has been. I'm Canadian, I can't just move to the USA and buy guns. I'd have to get naturalized first. You don't hear about it much, but Canadians DO, in fact, move to the United States just because of the Second Amendment--usually after they, or someone they know, has been very severely assaulted, and they're sick and tired of being defenseless. So, going to the States is what they do. Here in Canada, even a rape victim, or stalking victim (targeted individual) cannot carry a weapon without permission from the government/police, and they can only do it AFTER they have been raped or tortured. By then, it's too late, so Canadians say "fuck this shithole" and move to the US.

Anyone else get the idea that as long as you have an insanely high income, you can buy all of these new cars and they are ALL THE SAME?
For 40 years now I hear about wheels, lights, paint jobs, fender flares and other bullshit.
Other than trivial superficial bullshit, these cars are all the same.
Their build quality has gotten much better over the decades, that's for damn sure. But these newer cars are ALL too damned heavy for their power and they cost too much.
Other than that, they are great cars! But they're all the same--lots of looks, lots of power, but they're all too fucking heavy for their power output so when you drive one, they're unremarkable compared to an old-fart car from back in the olden days like a third-gen Mazda RX-7.
Whenever people talk about "new" sports cars, all I keep hearing is the same old same old from good cars from 30 years ago. I guess I'm getting really old, I don't see how "Important" it is to have Bluetooth connectivity in a fucking car and I can't understand how people CANNOT DRIVE A CAR without it :)
"Oh my GAWD, I can't drive this car!! It doesn't have Bluetooth!"

These are excellent points, but arguably, both brake lights and turn signals are redundant because of how driving is intended to be done. Brake lights are there because people follow too closely, they aren't necessary. You're supposed to watch what's going on!
Turn signals have a definite purpose, mostly so the driver behind you knows you want to turn, and that's why he's slowing down in front of you with no stop sign or red light ahead. They're a courtesy feature so people don't have a cow behind the wheel. As for lane changes, you aren't supposed to do that at all until there's plenty of room, so you don't catch anyone off guard or cut anyone off.
But, they're there for safety and courtesy reasons. Neither are actually necessary if you think about it. That being said... Make sure the damn things work, and always, ALWAYS use them when you're supposed to, because it does, in fact, reduce BS and mishaps :)

You'd never guess it was a 6-figure car with a V12 engine.
It looks like a Camry :)
If I was gonna spend $120,000 on a car I would want... well, uh, I guess I wouldn't give a fuck what kind of car it was, what it looked like, or what powered it. Cause I'd be too busy spending $120,000 on a stupid fucking car :)
But for Christ's sake, Volkswagen, at least have the human decency to make it look like a $120,000 German car, not a $20,000 American car.
As for the V12, plenty of inexpensive mass-produced engines provide the same level of power and are very smooth and quiet. They produce less pollution while doing it, too.
For my theoretical 120 grand, the Tesla Model S is where it's at :) I don't know who VW thought they were kidding.

Not trying to be a buzzkill, but I have to wonder, with humans on Mars, will Earth (the USA in particular) dictate how life is lived there? What will they do for behavioral regulation, i.e. people getting wasted, harassing each other and starting fights, assault/rape etc.
Remember, they'll still be human, and that means politics and belligerence. Presumably only very bright and dedicated people will be the first to colonize Mars, but once there are people being born there, and there are enough of them, they'll just go back to being human :)

@ProjectFarm I know, that's why I posted it.
When I was very little, my neighbour's son was working under his car without using jack stands, and... Well, you know.
USE them, everyone. "Oh, but I'm only checking the ball joints, it'll only take 5 minutes, that's not a long time."
No, but it's a LONG ASS TIME when that 5 minutes is the rest of your fucking life!
NEVER work under a car that's jacked up. Use those jack stands. The money they cost is easier to replace than, say, trying to replace your LIFE.
Now go fix that car! :)

She's very pretty, so she gets an enormous amount of general support and probably lots of therapy. She gets recognition, and an enormous amount of effort is being put into rehabilitation. I wish her well.
If you have kids, you really owe it to them to make damn sure you SECURE THE LIVING HELL OUT OF YOUR HOME. That means, make it exceedingly difficult for anyone to break in. They will still get in--of course they will, obviously, but it'll take them some time and it will make a racket--so you'll have at least a few seconds or half a minute to wake up, shake the cobwebs out of your head, and GET YOUR GUN OUT AND LOAD IT. Upon sight of the intruder, loudly demand identification. If he's not a firefighter, and you're fairly certain the house isn't on fire and that's why he's coming in, shoot enough times to absolutely guarantee a kill, close and bar the door (if possible) and IMMEDIATELY reload your gun.
Call the cops, informing them you are armed, so they'll be careful when they approach your home. If your door is too badly damaged by now to close it and secure (bar) it, then leave the house, watching for other attackers, and lock yourself in your car with the keys in the ignition so you can get away if more gang members try to attack you.
Remember, if you don't kill the intruder--he'll just be back again and again, possibly for years.
Yeah, I'm such a brute aren't I, "No guns in MYYYY HOME!!" I hear them all scream. "Not around MYYYY CHILDREN!" "But, it's a nice neighbourhood! We don't have to bar our doors at night! If someone breaks in with a weapon, we'll just... TALK TO HIM NICELY!! WE'RE PEACEFUL AND KIND PEOPLE!!!" Aren't I a horrible person? You should just call the police, shouldn't you? Let them deal with it--they're trained for it after all, and no guns in MYYYY home! With my children! And it's a NICE neighbourhood!
But, if you give the slightest fuck about your family (or even just yourself), this is how you deal with home invasion. Bar the doors and windows, it buys you all-important time when someone wants to break in. Time you need to wake up and arm yourself.
Poor girl, I hope she's well, a guy wouldn't have been so lucky afterward. We don't have the cuteness factor to inspire lots of empathy, support, and effective psychotherapy. I know, because the same thing happened to me, I was severely tortured when I was 10 years old, and then abducted and brutally tortured when I was 12. Psychopaths are absolute fucking monsters. It's called gang stalking, and it's absolutely beyond insane.
If you give a fuck at all about your family, and honestly, many, many people don't, then SECURE YOUR HOME and ARM YOURSELF. This kind of thing isn't as rare as we like to believe, but I suppose a bit of denial goes a long way when being a member of the human species. That's why we evolved to have it! When denial fails to do its job, you need a secure home and an effective weapon.
Oh yeah, one more thing... For crying out loud people, you DON'T leave your loaded gun on the kitchen table, or in a dresser drawer, or on a bookshelf, or under the car seat, or anywhere your 4-year-old will get it and "try it out" on you. If that happens, you'll have a bad day. Gun is either on your person, or within immediate reach beside you at night, or unloaded and locked away. If not possible, sell gun immediately and go back to your "praying" (begging) when someone finally breaks in--as if that'll help you when you need a GUN and not a spiritual experience or some spare change. Your gun is either on you, beside you on the side table at night (or otherwise within quick reach), or unloaded and locked up. Sounds inconvenient? You bet it is, and that's why people don't bother, making them perfect, big, juicy targets.

If it can reach 200 MPH give or take a few and is 100% street-legal, I consider it a supercar. Many, many people consider that unacceptably slow. Most of them are too young to get a driver's license.
Carbon fibre this, titanium that, buttons and screens, who modified one to make it "fast," what big name owned or endorsed it, what year this specific rare version won that specific race once, leather seats made from Harvard- and Yale-educated Italian and German-speaking cows hand-stitched by horny angels, blah blah blah irrelevant.
200 MPH, emissions legal, street legal overall = supercar. It's generally a given that it must be produced in small numbers and be freakishly expensive, but I consider that also irrelevant.

@pineapplesaucedaboss That's different, highly industrialized nations have a specific type of problem: The cost of living is too high. Any time a civilization becomes heavily dependent on technology and people grow up with it and just assume it's always been a part of life, the cost of living increases.
Things like clean running water, electricity, flushable cans, paved streets, traffic lights, convenient food, city sewer system, houses with insulation and furnace/AC, and nowadays high-speed Internet are taken for granted and are expected everywhere, which makes life VERY expensive.
So, people are hesitant to have kids because life costs a fortune.

Plenty of Canadians own guns. It's very common here.
However, using one in self-defense is VERY STRICTLY prohibited. As in, put your gun down, let the home intruder/gang stalker rape you, torture you, rob you blind and completely destroy your life--then return time and time again for years on end, but if you shoot him, you're done and that's it.
In other words, in Canada, guns are expensive toys, not the indespensable tools that they're made to be.
