  1. Surely you'd clean up a mining card with new thermal pads and paste after using it for a year and a half as a mining card, no?
  2. Here's one that'll surely get my ass lit on fire: Toyotas are fucking boring. Nothing about them interests me. They're the default "what car should I buy" pick. "A Toyota". Gimme something remotely interesting.

    What's with Europeans and them not understandin…

    Not to mention, many words that mean the same thing are spelled slightly differently depending on where you come from. Also, Soccer and Football. East Asian countries (namely Japan and South Korea) tend to call it soccer alongside the US, while most British-influenced English-speaking countries call it football.

    Thanks for proving my point! And yes, I do know every language gets localized into many different forms. I specifically targeted English because that's the common language here.
  5. Cold weather blows ass. I wish where I lived had less humid summers, though.
  6. I mean, I was 6 years old when I would pass by it. What would you want me to do, tell my mom to stop at the gears store when we were heading to Chino Hills?
  7. What's with Europeans and them not understanding that the English language tends to get very localized? 

    Everyone says "oh americans are so self-centered" when it comes to the English language. Yet most Americans tend to acknowledge that words mean different things in different countries concerning English. That's something that, with a lot of observation, Europeans really suck at acknowledging.

      not sure if this is (partially) inspired by me calling out the - to me - weird pronunciation of "Bologna", but I just called that one out because it's kind of funny to me.

      "Bologna" the Italian isn't even that hard to say, but it's still transformed into basically "Baloney". when first hearing that word/name spoken it just threw me off.

       

      just like people pronouncing the animal/car brand "Jaguar" like "Jagwire". It's just odd to me and I would call it out as such, no matter who said it. as a non-native to the language and still learning it, it's words like this that give me the most trouble. words that seem to be lent from somewhere else, but with a wildly varying pronunciation

      @PlayStation 2 You know what the beauty of English is?  There are so many different accents and dialects that we can start naturally speaking in multiple accents at once.  (If one has been exposed to them, at least.)

       

      In addition to the largely neutral Coloradan accent I've grown up with, I've picked up bits of Bostonian, Yooper (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), Pittsburgh, and Marylander accents just by traveling around and meeting different people.  😛

       

      I have no doubt this is true for other languages, too.

  8. Truthfully, I'm a bit nervous - it's been almost a year since we've met up for the first time, so it's something I gotta mentally prep myself for again. But thankfully, a lot's happened since then that should help me in relaxing significantly once he gets here. I think we'll have fun - it's just a matter of me relaxing my nerves lol.
  9. A bit over 2 more hours and @pinksnowbirdie should be here.
  10. See, I don't like bologna, but I'm also not autistic bored enough to make a thread about it.

    Protip of the day: Don't be like this guy. Hard…

    where's my trombone pic when I need it eh this'll do
  12. Honda actually made a big deal about the CR-Z having a manual... only for no one to buy them because they're really mediocre otherwise.
  13. Man, I dunno about all that. Meat lovers tend to be the best. insert very obvious gay joke here

      Why is a Finding Nemo quote the first thing that popped into my head when I read this?

    On another note, Moderators on the Forum needs…

    I said what I said because it's true. Sorry that I don't need MotF as a repwhore thread.
  15. That sucks if they're closed. I remember passing by the one that's in the City of Industry in California many times.
  16. Why do you take them seriously if you don't care about it? Seriously - if it's something you think isn't real, just ignore them. It's literally as easy as that.
  17. You're overthinking TikTok videos. Most of them solely exist to garner views.
