My main racer: bowser. Sure, slow acceleration, but enough mass that at speed you can knock people either in front or behind you into a spin so easily.

“Technically” lol I think one of their corp guys said it, but never endorsed it as a position.

Storytime!
I was taking a mental health day not too long ago and went to a local diner. My thought was I should try interacting outside my bubble to make me feel better. And it kinda worked…ish. I should’ve read the flags, one of which was him saying my paper was fake news, but alas.
Started talking to this old dude, apparently had a long historical knowledge of his family, which he stated family history placed their start in the 1700s. Talked about how his family took place in all the wars.
After an insane detour on how the North actually was at fault for the first shots fired, he pivoted to how Sherman burned down the family plantation. How absolutely terrible that was for his family.
Then he pivoted to talking about the KKK, and whewwww did that illuminate the absolute dichotomy of history for me. He stated that “they originally formed to protect women that were beat by their husbands.” After I asked about the whole racism bit, he said it wasn’t as bad as people made out.
At that point I grabbed my check and peaced out. Totally helped me get over my funk by showing just how fucking insane people’s idea of history is.

Have the executive branch impose small, incremental spending cuts across various agencies, bypassing the need for congressional approval.
Ah yes, totally what the current approach is. I understand the aim of a libertarian approach like this, but here’s the thing: we live in a society, and part of that society is having safety nets, having public works, having public spaces. We are literally a community, albeit on a large scale.
The cuts being made are not, in the words of this article, “necessary.” I can attest to it. The cuts are being haphazardly made, and sometimes aimed at things meant to protect the general public from garbage companies, as well as from general stupidity.
