logic means it is all about ME, and everyone else is has taken root here. Sometimes comments are comments they don't MEAN TO PERSONALLY OFFEND YOU, especially when you're stating
You are 6-10x more likely to die on a bike than a car per mile driven. Does it mean you're DEAD? No? Does this mean that if you decided to rail a bunch trannies without rubber in Thailand vs giving it to your wife once a month is more likely to get you the HIVYGIVY it does... just
This also goes for things like "what is a fun 365 day car" not a "fun 365 day car for ME since I just BOUGHT IT". That wasn't the question. Sames goes with 's being "fun to drive" . It becomes an argument about semantics, more so than PERSONALLY TRYING TO STICK IT TO YOU, that's not the point.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 1:46 pmCorrection: We're all dying, just some faster than others.

It makes, sense. It's like wearing those Nikes, vs balenciagas which are used for bigger and better things. When you join the poor masses blending in with a golf avoids lynchings.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 2:04 pmTwo rich dudes with Golf R's.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 1:53 pm As a rich person let me say one thing: none of you will ever experience a truly fun car so find whatever it is that mostly meets that.

Gen Z's seem to think boomers really know of/or care about "ok boomer" as an "insult". So now it's a bunch of young people just saying it to each-other, I never really got it.

Everything in life is a massive compromise unless you're rich.

Max has a solid point tho.
It's apparent some are solidified in their opinions, which, sure we all have.
Some are just more willing to skull fuck you with their thoughts, and the rest of us are like 'Cool stary breh'
It's Trav's sig quote, which was said by me. It's the axiom by which DFD operates.

Isn't becoming rich a massive compromise as well ? Quite a few of em lead miserable lives that end in suicide, or just full of : till the day they die, golden toilets and all.troyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 2:10 pm[user not found] wrote:As a rich person let me say one thing: none of you will ever experience a truly fun car so find whatever it is that mostly meets that.

It certainly can be if you have to kill yourself and/or abandon principles to get there.max225 wrote:Isn't becoming rich a massive compromise as well ?

$34,000 is the misery line. If earning $75,000 annually is the benchmark for financial happiness –– earnings over that amount haven't been shown to increase happiness in the long-term –– then consider $34,000 the new tipping point for financial misery. People who earned less than $34,000 were 50 percent more likely to commit suicide, researchers found. People who earned between $34,000 and $102,000 increased their risk for suicide by only 10 percent.

A new paper from the San Francisco Federal Reserve shows that, all else being equal, suicide risks are higher in wealthier neighborhoods, a morbid demonstration of the folly of trying to “keep up with the Joneses.”
The twist comes when you look at low income individuals who live in high income areas. According to the study, they face greater suicide risk than those living in low-income areas. The study’s authors call it a “behavioral response to unfavorable interpersonal income comparisons.”
some major reflecting to do...
