I'm pretty sure that CT is known to be the AI grumpy old man. And if you don't see how all these little conversation threads in the past couple ...nevermind.

Let's just say that maybe saying incels are inhuman, narcissistic chauvinists is itself a pretty loving awful accusation when a little empathy and thought could probably lead you to a statement that some of the other folks in the thread already posted:

InitialDave posted:

...but I reckon a lot of these "friendzone" situations are a result of socially awkward young men being taught stuff by the social zeitgeist/pop culture that "this is how you interact with women", except it's complete and utter bollocks which no one corrects them on, and then when they can't work out for themselves that it doesn't "work" because it's bullshit, ...

In short my "toxic masculinity" comment wasn't out of the blue, it's this kind of same-sex societal destruction that sows the seeds for the next generation of he-man woman-haters.

Also, yes, CT is known to be the AI grumpy old man. Nobody expects him to actually think of emotional reason other people might be driven to do something.

The pace car driver lost control coming into the straight... fishtailed with no correction... then binned it right into the wall.

The race couldn't start and they've had to bring out a backup pace car.

I've never seen anything so comical in 30+ years of watching racing.

Red mist playing race car driver, from what I can see. No brake lights until after he hits the wall, I couldn't see if he even tried to countersteer. Looked like a seriously easy fishtail to get under control, hardly more than a wiggle.

Scandal at the WRC

In breaking news, Sebastian Loeb has been found out as having a secret life as a porn star. In a bombshell that has shaken Citroen – but in all fact pretty much everyone else knew – a keen eyed observer has spotted Loeb in a video on ****ingmachines.com – as the machine.

“It was a surprise to be sure and he does lok unfamiliar without hos human disguise on but no one can mistake his movements as they are so precise and his voice – ‘Ummmmmmmmm yes I think so ummmmmmmm yes do you ummmmm like it like ummmmm that’ – even without his fake french accent he’s unmissable” said Ima Wanka, 21 from his parents basement. “I was all like gettingoff and then I realised he was Sebastian Loeb so after cleaning my screen I phoned the News Of The World”

“It’s about time that bloody robot got outed” said Malcom Wilson, Principle of M-Sport and the Ford WRC team. “There’s been rumours for years and this proves it. How the hell are we supposed to win against that? Let alone he keeps going for as long as his batteries keep going, no wonder you have fangirls lined up 20 deep”

Citroen team bosses expressed surprise.

“A Robot? No, he’s quite clearly human. We reject utterly the accusations of Loeb’s robot status altho the site in question…… ummm…. what was the question again?”

Porn stars have been willing to verify the identity of the robot with many female performers expressing their support and admiration for Loebot. Many comments that are pretty much unprintable but you get the idea.

The FIA will be meeting tomorrow to see the clip in question and Esmerela Jizzmop has been put on standby to clean up afterwards.

(and can't post for 11 years!)

So Negative Ions has.... okay paint for a 12 year old black car. Except for the spoiler, which someone seems to have intentionally sanded the paint off of. And it's peeling off of the rails along the roof (which are detachable, so I can sand/paint those easily enough).

Would it be easier to wrap or paint them? The rails don't appear that bad from a distance, since they're black plastic under the missing paint. The spoiler looks like total rear end.

Also, dried on adhesive is all over the roof (windshield leaks, PO taped up every single gap possible instead of actually addressing the problem properly). I've tried a couple of solvents, the strongest of which removed some paint on the rails. :stare: (didn't really do anything on the steel roof except dull the paint). What's the best way to get rid of this poo poo?

Worse, much worse. And a gamma cigarette is better than a beta cigarette. The gamma cigarette has had more time to refine their cigarettery; almost perfect by then.

Then you have the release candidate cigarette, which is a bundle of twigs that's pretty well polished, but still has a few quirks in their cigarettes - but thinks they're perfect. Those are the worst ones to deal with, they get a nasty attitude if you imply they're not perfect.

Reality is inverse in corporations. Layoffs are a great thing for the CEO, he cuts the bottom line and the stock price goes up and he'll probably get a better bonus. The only people it hurts is those laid off... and those still in the corporation that have to do more work since there are now fewer people to do it. :(

I've no experience with wrap, so YMMV, but I'd probably paint.

Goo Gone, Goof Off, or WD-40 and a shitload of elbow grease. None of those should hurt the paint, but will probably take a bit of soaking to soften the adhesive, since it's dried up.
