Yes. Just don't know what a better succinct way of saying "stop whining you ain't special cause you're a white cis-dude." And an eyeroll.

Participating in a lawsuit against a government entity requires at least a little surplus time and mental energy. Many parents won't have that luxury, even if they're sympathetic.

Listen, I'm with you 100% on that, but this dude travels a lot for work. Sometimes a starving road warrior has to swing by the nearest drive-through (or send an intern).

Oh, sure, just don't bother with the bacon. Have a nice grease and salt bomb, and have bacon some other time when it can be cooked right.

I get it. It’s just that WERE considered special for so long, and they mistake that social construct with objective reality, or any pushback against the social construct as being “unfair.”

It’s not that things haven’t changed, though. They have.

It's right up there with "patriot" and "love of country".

Performativity is probably what you wanted. But I'm not an internet word enforcer, just offering a suggestion.

I forgot he's originally from Indiana. That makes me even more impressed. Indy is a deep cultural hole. He's outside all their parameters.

When Pete says he loves God, the culture warriors call it blasphemy because, according to them, God doesn't love Pete. Of course, if Pete didn't explicitly say he loves God, they'd burn him at the proverbial stake. Or, maybe a literal stake, if things keep on they way they're going.

As for electric cars, what's the point of driving if it doesn't involve lots of little explosions and spewing tons of shit into the air?

Meanwhile, what with Dylan Mulvaney and Pete, these insecure little people now have to worry that liking beer means that they're gay or trans. Maybe they'll all switch to mead to make themselves feel less triggered.

and yet, the press is so focused on horseracing that they have no interest in reporting on how much the GOP has lost credibility on their oh so lauded signature issues finances, family, and national security.

When the Prius first came on the scene, people would step right off the curb, without so much as a glance, because they didn't hear an engine.

There was a time when some people sneered at the Subaru Outback because it was a fav with lesbians. Ain't it just like those damned lesbians to like versatile, fuel-efficient and reliable cars?

I can believe it.

Well, then, there is no one "most efficient" which would lead to all cars ending up looking the same. Cars which work just fine - and are most efficient - in the city, would not be the most efficient design for someone who drives a lot in the country with unpaved roads. There is no such thing as one "efficient" design.
