yea its definitely regional. in some parts of ca the biggest rear end in a top hat drivers are in teslas, in other parts its f150's. in brooklyn ny it's the honda odyssey.

In NorCal, it’s Audis, they surpassed BMW’s about 15 years ago as the #1 choice of arrogant dickstains. Charger/Challengers are right up there for idiots that want to drive recklessly stupid, it’s no longer Camaro/Mustangs for the most part.

yea i grew up in the bay and i remember the age of the IROC.

a good friend of mine had a 1970 z28, one of those bright orange ones, and he was a fairly responsible driver most of the time but people were constantly trying to race him everywhere

I drove manual for years and it was great fun on open roads. It sucked balls for commuting or in traffic. I wouldn't intentionally ever get one again.

I was happy I had one a few times in the ice and snow, I'll tell you that

But that's only compared to a bare bones automatic with no fancy poo poo

I learned to drive on a manual and hated it. Got an automatic for my first car and was like "oh wow this actually doesn't totally suck". I really don't see driving as something to enjoy though and never have. I do it cause I live in the US and pretty much have to. There's no leisure in it for me so the less I have to do, good. If I had access to better public transportation I'd basically never drive (I barely drove for the 17 years I lived in the city but now I'm in the burbs and getting around is a loving pain without a car)

Wait, do iPhones tag Android users in text messages somehow so people can feel superior over their expensive phone?

Is this why a contingent of iPhone users know or care what phones others use?

It's a good skill to have incase you need it, but not a requirement and I completely understand how most people in the US don't have the skill anymore.

Even if people have practiced manual their entire life, less things to worry about doing in the car is just a bonus.

I judge the gently caress out of people who repot their plants too loving early or into a pot that is incorrect in size. I hate people who think rocks are an acceptable method of adding drainage to a pot. You're a loving poo poo flinging moron. No poo poo you killed your plant why the gently caress are you making it my problem

If some poo poo dog bites me I'm going to bite it back and if the owner starts poo poo I'll take their car, which is an automatic because of their dog.

Why? Are they also using non-standard technical solutions to induce brand loyalty?

This is eye-opening, I literally had no idea how people who care about phone brands even know what others are using. Phones that aren't Apple don't signal to you what others are using and physically they all look like near-identical black rectangles.

In my experience the brand loyalty people are always the android weirdos. There is literally nothing less exciting or worth remarking on than than owning an iPhone, yet every now and then you'll meet some guy that is 5 feet tall and looks like the hunchback of Notre Dame that feels compelled to make a negative comment about your iPhone. it isn't 2009 where people are forming lines around the block for apple crap. everyone owns iPhones because you cell provider tries to jam a new one into your pocket every two years. Also Android phones blow.

Green text bubble = this message was sent via SMS

Blue text bubble = this message was sent via iMessage

it differentiates them so people don't wonder why the iMessage features aren't working with that person. It's not green to say "haha this person has a lovely Android phone" even though people might think that

As bad as trying to text an iPhone user is ("iPhone User Laughed at...") Googles fuckin "it's apples fault texting sucks! They should support our standard instead!" poo poo sucks too. White on green isn't 'harder to read on purpose'. Photos and videos over mms should be compressed and frankly I'm amazed iphones don't compress media at all, my apple friends all have data usage that's way higher than me because of it, and unlimited data is like $80/month here.

I guess another thing I judge people for is, paying too much for data. I never hit my 1GB cap, other than imessage having no respect for one's wallet I have no idea how one spends data that quickly? Do you need to stream dune in 4k in the middle of the woods or something?

I dunno if it's completely seamless because I don't really care but I'm pretty sure they fixed most of these issues already; I'm on Android and I can see/do the chat reactions thing all my iphone friends do.
