I'm too tired to even ask. |

Pretty sure I was the Dark Lord of the Thread |

That's just a fancy way of saying "Lapras went all Sonata on a thread." |

It took me a second to catch that. I need more nachos coffee. |

Dangerous waters these be... |
They really can be.

Just waitin for Satan. He's a few thousand years old, it takes him a minute. Just hold on. |

We're all a little bit Satan. |
23. But some of us are more than a little Satan.

Yeah, this is why I didn't want to get a car if I can. Cars are so expensive. Welcome back folk(s)! Maybe TP (lel) is the most moderated board ever. More than TR LOL @Thread Title: Dubs sux. JK, I just grew up with the sub camp back during the sub vs. dub wars. @Forum Name: We're 5 year olds. |
25. Cars are unfortunately also a necessity outside urban core areas in the USA. I'd have to drive nearly 10 miles to find non-school bus service that runs at all that isn't exclusively for senior citizens and disabled people, and even then, it only goes to the core from 5 AM to 6 PM (buses head out from the core starting at noon from the core and run until 10 PM) unless it's State Fair time.
Anyway, look at getting anything in the sub-compact to mid-size sedan range. Bigger than that would give you more horsepower and space, but it'd consume more fuel and be out of your price range for anything with decent fuel economy. Toyota and Honda have well-earned reliability reputations, but you'd be paying a premium for used. You can often find better deals on something like a used Civic at a non-Honda brand name dealer (like a Ford or Toyota dealer). Same logic applies to other models from other manufacturers (ie - finding a deal on a Corolla at a Chevy or Honda dealer). Larger dealers have more leeway in what discounts they can give you, typically, if they can give you any. /r/whatcarshouldibuy should be a good resource for you. Thread title is just to make people aware that SAO II is running on Toonami now. |
26
I was looking into it, and kinda am leaning towards the Scion xB. My family has had it for 11 years now and I've grown to like the compact design, yet roomy cargo/passenger backspace. Still on the other hand, a regular sedan is nice for starting out. Choices, choices. Still, LA is a pretty great place to buy a used car. Lots of inventory. Ah, well people who like the show will watch, those who do now won't. :p |
27
America's lack decent public transport always surprises me. I have shit loads of bus stops within immediate walking distance and I think they run every 12 minutes. I have no idea why there is so many tbh. Spoiler:
|
28
Same here, of course with that being five minutes during rush hours. |
29
That being said my bus service is pretty irritating. To get to the hospital I'd have to get a first bus 2 miles in the opposite direction. It is walking/biking distance but it is still rather unpleasant during early winter mornings. |
30
I live almost precisely in-between two metro stations on separate branches of the line. The way to one is a long, quick, straight-ish, boring road, and the other is a selection of several parallel winding forest- and suburb paths. Having to choose between effective and interesting every morning and afternoon is really debilitating. |
31
our means of travel is actually interesting :D |
32
I actually have a similar dilemma. Bike the quick route through the university campus or the long way around so that I get to see some nicer scenery and horses. Annoyingly the university campus acts as a sort of wind tunnel, cycling through it in bad weather is not fun after a long day. |
33
Now I wonder how Percy transports himself. By spacecraft, I hope. |
34
Perhaps he travels by police box. |
35
I hear that's quite popular these days. |

Part of it's also political in a way. And a lot of cultural bias toward the "freedom" provided by owning an automobile meaning not being limited to one area of the country when seeking employment. 36. |

Live in Tokyo for a month and you'll forget that cars even exist. Your life will be filled with metro. Although half the time you won't even take it because you'd rather walk the length to breathe some fresh air and see the skyscrapers. |
38
Is the average burgerclap really that brainwashed that he believes that a well run public transport network is counter productive to muh freedoms? :DDDDD |
39. NIMBYs are complaining about a train route "spoiling nature" by passing within 100 feet of their 300 unit apartment complex, yet want to reroute the train over a nearby swamp area instead.
WELL IF YOU LIKED NATURE SO MUCH, WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE IN A 300 UNIT APARTMENT COMPLEX? Some people's kids, I tell ya. Granted, the line they are complaining about isn't exactly following the optimal route to get from its endpoint to its start point. And it's not "MUH FREEDOMS", it's "KEEP THE UNWASHED AND FILTHY POOR AWAY FROM MY EXURBAN LIFESTYLE". The next town over from my town actively boycotted bus service because it's full of well-to-do people who own mansions or mcmansions, have luxury cars or gas guzzling trucks and SUVs as their daily drivers, and have a sports car or two to drive on weekends in the summer. As if the poor who would steal would actually use public transit to get out this way. The only thieves "from" the core cities who're willing to come out this far to steal stuff are the crackheads who grew up out this way and just so happen to live in one of the core cities currently, and those types use their own cars and friends to transport shit. Second most common argument: "Mass transit should be able to pay for its own costs." As if our highways actually do that (spoiler alert: they do not). Third most common argument I've seen and heard: "Well I won't benefit from it, so why should we build it?" Then why should I pay via my taxes to widen that road you use daily just because it's over capacity by double its capacity? I won't benefit from it! I only drive on 6 different roads each day! If you couldn't tell, I'm a filthy liberal in an area dominated by self-focused conservatives and mass transit makes me angrier than it should. |

You know, I had not even considered public transport is for the poor angle. It is a bit of a weird one because even if you removed the poverty stricken slum areas of cities you still have a massive portion of the population, ''hard workin' folk'', living paycheck to paycheck. If you reduced your military budget to, I don't know, just 3x that of the second biggest spenders, imagine what you could do. I guess that's another issue entirely though. |
41. If even a quarter of what was spent on the military in the past 30 years was instead split evenly between public transit, NASA, and federal subsidies for school districts, so much would be different.

The poor can hardly pay for public transit here as it is. Quote:

I am totally lost right now... |
44. Granted, a lot of those trucks are newer trucks that actually get decent fuel economy despite being a truck.
A town further out, and it starts becoming "sledneck" (a redneck who drives a lifted truck and can constantly be found snowmobiling or in branded snowmobiling gear in the winter)/redneck territory, where the trucks employed actually are decade old gas guzzlers, but more people actually are using the trucks for their intended purpose rather than as a daily driver for a suburban commute. Crossovers are actually quite popular in my area (basically compact SUVs and SUV/sedan hybrids). And a lot of commercial recycling actually goes straight into the trash at the end of the day because actually paying for commercial recycling is "too expensive". @ Orpheus: Politics is happening itt rn. |

Well, I'm glad I don't live there so I don't have to interrupt my everyday life to cry all the time. |

Murica's not all like that. Granted, I'm not living in smalltown (insert generic state). But I never really see a truck go around here. It's peaceful, yet busy. Not too modern, but pretty nice. Kind of special. Probably due to my proximity to D.C. |
Farms are everywhere around my town and west of it, so the trucks make sense for those people. The lifted trucks are dumb, though. Granted, my previous 2 vehicles were gas guzzlers, first one being a minivan that got 18 to 22 MPG on a V6 and then a sedan that got 18 to 22 MPG on the exact same style V6 the minivan had. And my current one advertises 22 city/30 highway.

Anybody here taken any interest in British politics recently? If you have then I expect you will fully understand why the younger generations are so apathetic on the topic. For the average man on the street it really is a case of voting for whom you dislike least, or not at all. My local area has been shifting in the direction of UKIP during recent months. ''I'm nawt raicist...but it's bout time we try suttn new #bantheburka''. That being said. Spoiler:

51
I don't vote, that way I can say "I had nothing to do with this" when the country goes to heck |
There's a problem with that, though: you not voting implies you're fine with whatever everyone else chooses. Which is currently (and has practically always been) a total circus-like sideshow.
Quote:
And that the same apathy you see there is rampant in the USA, too. Quote:

BNP are more likely to come out with horrific sweeping statements with the sole purpose of getting people talking. Those are our far right no hopers. Farage is just another of those guys that pop up after a recession, pretend to know about the common man [see him waving that pint around] whilst simultaneously blaming people at the bottom for the problems. Although it isn't only the hateful groups that haven't got a clue . >mfw the Greens are far more likely to send a male drug dealer to prison than a female http://i.imgur.com/6Is8yXO.jpg Spoiler:

Too much politics in here |
Okay, this thread title cracked me up in 58 different ways.

Britland is political funtown. Heard they banned female ejaculation and sent people to jail to make a point of how loli is disgusting. UKIP will of course fix everything. Quote:

Leave me out of your self-destructive suicidal tendencies |

"You know how the country's gone to shit? Yeah, sorry about that." As someone who doesn't vote, myself, I generally don't try to avoid blame for whatever comes with not voting, and I also don't really try to defend why I don't vote. I have my reasons, but rarely do people care, generally saying something about how people died for my right to vote, how it helps the country, etc. And I could contest those things, but ultimately I'll be criticized for being a terrible citizen and not caring about the well being of my homeland, which is... Well, it comes with the territory, I guess. |

It goes into how the economic discourse in the UK is pretty misleading, reiterates the political science insight that people are freaking short sighted and that only 6 months to 1 year of economic news is the only thing that sticks to peoples minds when elections come around. Hence why any attempts at long term planning are a pretty hard sell. Anyway, taking an Urban Policy and Planning class. Gotta review all that transportation stuff I learned last quarter lol. But yeah, America, unlike European, Australia or Japan had the ability to just "sprawl" out it's urban areas, unlike dense cities in the latter. So cars became a dominant feature of transportation post-Interstate Highway System development. Also don't forget "white flight." That's a huge component of suburban development. |
I've got 67 problems and I'm pretty sure that I'm responsible for 58 of them

Hello. |
71
Cheerio (in reverse). This is looking to be a nice week. |
|
73
I know I don't have any plans this week. Good thing too since I caught a cold... |
74
Practically all lectures are cancelled this week, and the only assignment I've got coming the next fifteen days or so is a creative one. This leaves space for fun things that are fun and some money making. |
74
Splendid. Fun things are most certainly fun and money is quite useful. I wish I had a bit less free time at the moment but hey ho. |
76
We can hang out, bro. |
77
Tru dat, fam. Has also given me a chance to rewatch racist lolis. Spoiler:

Whahahahaha, thanks! Although I'm not quite sure I picked the best moment to show my face here... No I don't have an exam about quantumchemistry tomorrow, what are you talking about |

Ah, I took Quantum last year in 9th grade. That was fun. With all the spdf configurations and energy levels and relativity and stuff. |

You really are quite an abrasive fellow. What's up with that? |
87
*****, you don't know *** about me, you ungrateful ****, I'll wreck your *** and **** Could be a lot worse |
88.
Quantum chemistry is like the chemical side to quantum physics. /shot Which basically comes down to the physics and chemistry of reaaalllyyy small things. =) |
89. whoa whoa whoa hold off on the profanities
Also when did quantum chemistry become a thing? Does this mean I'm getting old as it's a new field or is it just becoming more mainstream? |

Quote:

91.
Quantum Chem is just lower-level chem. I mean, since Chemistry is really just a branch of Physics. |
92. So basically a step or more beyond the lone mandated chemistry course I took in high school?

Oh, Onua. It's been too long. But now you're with me again. And you're much easier to pose and balance! |

Quantum chem is just quantum physics for chemists, Don mod. They changed a lot of our subject's names to set ourselves appart fron actual physics students (god knows why) Even Thermodynamics got changed into thermochemistry... |
97. That's just a silly naming scheme, then.
|
98.
Pretty much, yeah... Sorry for all the confusion ^-^; |

Mhmm... Well that makes sense I guess or whatever I'm supposed to say. |

Why does he sit like that? |
104
I dunno. |
105. Why does who sit like what now?
And it appears my mind control worked. Phone ring success! except that definitely was not me calling since i don't actually know your number or know mind control ... I want to go home and assemble my Nendos now. |

To be fair, sitting like that is pretty comfy. At least if you're small.

Has she worshipped her... homework today? Who is that fluid druid, anyway? Tartar sauce, please. EVERYDAY UNTIL YOU LIKE IT. |

The reason I changed majors was because of chem. Not really my thing. I guess I should use that sitting position more then. |
