Your question is too broad. Which vehicle against which vehicle? The thing is today's average driver drives an SUV or truck which is a literal tank in comparison, whereas in the 70s most people drove cars. The bumpers wouldn't even line up (btw this is a modern issue between "cars" and "SUVs/Trucks") leading to the bigger vehicle overtopping the smaller vehicle. Modern vehicles are also on average heavier and have better safety features. The only thing I will say is an advantage of an older vehicle is in lower speed crashes it has a better chance of being repaired then a modern vehicle that crumples, but at 70mph even solid steel will get wrecked (as will the passengers).

Also bold of you to assume a lot of these vehicles from the 70s can easily reach 70mph without shaking apart.

How many of us STILL have scars from falling off our bikes last century? I bet some of us even still have road gravel in our bodies.

I'm a fan of pendejo. If you've never heard someone say it you're missing out. It's always said with such utter contempt and the "de" is emphasized so hard it's practically spit out.

Fantastic artstyle. Weird as fuck movie. Still hands down the best themesong of any anime.

I watched a lot of anime in the 90s but I had to get all of it by VHS hunting through weird hole in the wall fan stores and doing loans/trades with friends. I use to browse the website anipike (the anime turnpike) to learn about animes because it had nearly all the anime in existence listed as well as summeries and pictures. It was a roll of the dice rather the tape would be Japanese, fan dubbed, subtitled, fan subtitled, or just a random copy someone made. Wild times. I don't even think I saw all of NGE because getting incomplete sets also common.

I think it's always important in these conversations to remember well-off white women kept house and didn't work. Poor women regardless of their backgrounds always worked. That's be like people 75 years from now talking about the lifestyles of rich influencers as if we all live like that. Women didn't fight for the right to work. We fought, and still fight, for our dignity and a fair equitable place in society.

(And never forget even those well-off women of yesteryear couldn't divorce their husbands, couldn't have a bank account, would have their medical decisions overridden by their husband/male relatives - if they were told about their own health at all, could be FUCKING LOBOTOMIZED if they "acted out" or read too many books. And some-crazy-how were still worlds better off then poor women. The past is the absolute worst.)

The further north you go the more segregated it gets and still is today. But we never think of the northern states as segregated.

Just get a squatty potty. You'll be fine.

That depends on the definition of "better." Don't mistake me, I LOVE modern games but there was something magical about needing months to beat one game. And while old games didn't have online components they were definitely a community effort. Siblings, neighbors, friends from school, all coming over and collaborated with to beat each game. Together we discovered every secret place and learned every trick. If someone figured something out it became local game lore and everyone would try to replicate it. We used to all pile in a room to play Mario bros and work together to knock out every level in an afternoon (if you you know), then run it again with the worp whistle trick because we could. There were games we never beat. Simon's Quest haunted us (I looked it up as an adult and beat it on nesticle - screw you garlic merchant). But that was part of it too, we didn't have the safety net of a search engine to bail us out when we got stuck. Frustrating? Yes. But it forced us to slow down and think about the challenges in front of us. It wasn't better or worse, just different then now. (Also please try to keep in mind part of the reason your controls might feel clunky is the game was designed for a different controller then you are using).

That being said I will never miss that hinky as fuck Nintendo cartridge nonsense that required a ritual involving alcohol, prayer, and the breath of life to get it read a game cartridge. Fuck the NES - again if you know, you know.

There are two justice systems. Always has been. One for the elites and one for the rest of us.

I never understood the logic of his underlings. Regardless or rather or not he fires them. Sooner or later he's either going to not be in charge or die and not be there to protect them (not that he actually does that either tbh unless it benefits him). Do they not think consequences may come later? They'll be the first idiots under the bus tires when the elites need them some scapegoats to quell the masses.

Maybe, maybe not. I wonder if after the AI bubble pops (whenever that happens - crosses fingers) data centers will close and suddenly have to liquidate a bunch of assets. Kinda like what happened after the NFT crash.

I think you've perfectly described both AITAH and reddit with that sentence.

I agree. It was weird.
