By 'modern one' I wasn't necessarily specifying the same model but I definitely should have been more clear. It's small compared to many of the new models I see on the road.

Also just comparing the totals like that isn't exactly a clean comparison. The whole car sits lower to the ground, it's actually low enough it doesn't have a "Risk of rollover" warning on the windshield. Also the design of the hood and windshield itself push further back than newer cars with sleeker designs, it's more space efficient in general, just ugly.

absolutely, there are so many folks I have to warn about 'problem models'. Stuff you could learn yourself just by googling the model of the car + 'problems'

Well that's because he went from having an ounce of credibility to none at all.

this. My 99 forester SUV is half the size of a modern one, but is still a 5 seater with plently of space in the hatch

I would love a hazmat suit in every workplace. More people = more juicy disasters

The fact it was a regular occurance must've been enough to make some people quit, right? There is no way I could handle something like that before I'm like "fuck it, the bathroom is employee only now"

I always wondered how people manage to make such messes, is it like infectious toilet hysteria?

Just yesterday a regular customer went absolute apeshit on my manager over the prices. We work in a franchise store, corporate sends us the prices and we update the boards, we don't set the prices.

They refused to listen to that and were claiming that we were just greedy. Yeah greedy, minimum wage greedy.

She handled them for about 10 minutes then got sick of getting yelled at, then an insult was thrown at her. She's from the ghetto and as soon as she walked around the counter and through the door to beat some ass that lady ran out of the store.

The answer changes depending on if I know when I'll die.

Currently, without future insight, I'm living like I'll die in my 60's. Live life slow, but not slow enough to let it run away, and enjoy the moment rather than thinking about the future too hard.

If I know when I'll die? I'm gonna live so fucking hard to do as much as I possibly can, make as big of an impression, and know when to disappear. Because, fear of death isn't something you should have normally unless you know you might die shortly. Otherwise, it's just a road that leads to nihilism and depression.

The real question is why the fuck are you so scared of dying without a reason to be scared? Just assume in your mind that you will live forever and that personal death isn't going to happen. It helps me move along.

Nebraska is the exception, this state has some of the weirdest price of living to wage ratios. For example, in my town you cannot find a job that pays more than minimum wage without commuting to the other towns around you. But the rent is set at a point where you would need to work for $16 to $20 an hour to afford roof AND food. Wild stuff

And if I really hit that accelerator like people want me to, the thing slips, stops, and then suddenly engages full force and I burn out. So that's not much safer either
