That’s the one.

The OG one.

Jesus christ.

I think I win.

Not many cars are worth that.

Ugh. Cheaper to start with one half-fixed up than deal with that.

Aw, poor car. Probably cost too much to rebuild.

‘72 Bronco. Wish I still had it. They go for stupid money these days.

That’s the point. This is three on the tree. Not an automatic column shifter.

I’m old enough to have owned a car with one of these:

It’s kinda metal, every bit as metal as it is unusual.

Lol, yeah. That’s the point of the movies s/he cited, the opposite of what s/he was trying to accomplish.

What did you expect?

I’m in my basement, with collected 80’s Robotech and Transformers toys, a 3D printer, a self-built watercooled gaming PC, a linux PC, boxes of decades of tech junk, a printed Darth Vader helmet I’m trying to finish so maybe I can go to a ‘con suited up, a backup of all of my favorite movies like Better off Dead and Princess Bride…. And I’m on Lemmy.

Yeah. Total jock.

But go ahead and make up whatever suits you.

I’m gen X. I’ve seen them all. FWIW, the nerds usually emerge victorious.

Pardon me for assuming you were here on social media for a conversation. At least you didn’t LMGTFY me.

There’s no centuries-long systemic oppression and denigration of “nerds”, blackface is a terrible word choice.

So much hate for a show that was never meant to be a cinematic masterpiece of comedy? I don’t get it. It’s not supposed to be deep. I watched it for a while, it was funny in its dumb way, and then it just didn’t go anywhere so I quit watching. It was fun for a while. No need for the hate.

Edit: wow. Triggered some people who want to equate themselves to centuries-long oppressed minorities and slaves, over a TV show. Know what? Oppressed minorities will still be oppressed tomorrow, shot by cops, profiled, and live with systemic racism. You get to change the channel. Get over yourselves.

Alpha Centauri was the shit. I played the heck out of that.

There’s that ~30% again that will lie their asses off for their golden calf.

“Underestimated” means they spent any time estimating the outcome at all before trump decided to attack.

I sincerely doubt they did.

IOW, you can only protest on days and at times when most people are at work, therefore less people will protest.
