Should I care about rusted-out brake dust shields?
I have a 2005 Toyota and the dust shields are reduced to nearly nothing. Replacing them, especially, the rear ones, is a big job even though the part is cheap. Is there a strong reason to throw a lot of money at this "problem"?

We trolls will no longer be available to comment on the fanciful made-up names that are so popular these days. How many kids will be stuck with career-ending ghetto names? How many will have to argue with their teachers over how their names are spelled?

Don't the immigrants of color just take advantage of programs designed to help the descendants of slaves? Don't they use their advantages of wealth and education to get ahead while the American people of color get left behind? President Obama and VP Kamala Harris could never have reached the positions they did if they had not had immigrant parents.

They enjoy white privilege but they don't come from families that enslaved people.
4 réponsesPoliticsil y a 1 moisThere are commercials on TV stations that feature classic reruns. How do they put these together?
For instance, I saw one last night that started out with Henry Winkler doing his famous Fonzie "He-y-y-y". Then there were clips from many other old show with other actors using a similar expression; "MASH", "Gomer Pyle", etc. Are these old shows somehow indexed so a producer can search for specific bits like this? Or do some people have an encyclopedic knowledge of the old shows and can easily find these? Or do people just watch them and make notes of excerptable moments like that to make limited indexes they can use?

I've been sheltering inside for so long I think I've developed mental illness. I'm scared to go out and look for a job.

I've never shot guns much and never a blank. (Where do you even get them?) I would think that the recoil of a real round would be much stronger than that from shooting off a blank. Is it?

2 réponsesPoliticsil y a 2 moisWho writes those click-bait stories?
Someone takes an ordinary three-sentence item from the news and stretches it out to 20 or 30 little pieces you have to click through. They always have the same kind of lame non-native-speaker language in them. Are there companies that do this?

Do girls today prefer to be "gender fluid" or something like that rather than call themselves tomboys?
5 réponsesPolls & Surveysil y a 2 moisWhy do Americans think shamrocks are the same as four-leaf clovers?
Look closely at commercial "Irish" stuff for sale, especially around St. Patrick's Day. You will find that many of the shamrock designs are actually four-leaf clovers. Don't Americans know that St. Patrick used the three-leafed shamrock to teach the heathen Irish about the Trinity? What is going on?

What happened to those white citizens who opposed secession and civil war? Were they driven out of their homes? Lynched? Merely shunned?

This morning, I read a story about the murder of a whole family in Indianapolis. The reporter quoted a neighbor “I’m still tryna wrap my mind around this whole thing.” Wouldn't it be better to use the correct words "I'm still trying to.."? There's no news reason to suggest the race and educational level of this person.

If you buy some cellphone accessory from a seller in China, it will be here in 2 or 3 days and they pay almost zero postage. Yet a small package from Europe takes weeks and weeks if it ever arrives.
4 réponsesOther - Business & Financeil y a 3 moisWhy are long-term couples reluctant to marry?
Marriage offers a lot of financial advantages over remaining single. Since "no fault" divorce is the law [nearly?] everywhere, untangling the relationship isn't so bad even if you do call it quits. Actually, because it's a settled legal process, divorce is probably easier than sorting out an extra-legal arrangement. So why the reluctance?

In Massachusetts, headlights must be on by the end of legal twilight. (Enforcement is lax, of course.) In many other states, they must be on at sunset. Which do you think is better at discouraging driving in the dark without lights?
