- Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars? 6 days ago:
It wouldn’t win out. They typically didn’t have any crumple zones to dissipate the forces of the impact so the full forces in the accident got transferred to the passenger cell and therefore the passengers. Also no seatbelt pre-tensioners to stop you flying forward before the seatbelt locks would engage and no airbags to protect you. Steering columns were also not collapsible so the driver’s chest being impacted by the steering wheel was a common thing in a head on.

- Comment on Does anyone actually have a plan after Trump and clean up? Try as he might he's not in there forever. Can we be allies again with old ones while trying to stregthen ties with new one? 1 week ago:
The relationship you had before and the position the US enjoyed is gone thanks to Trump setting fire to whatever soft power the US had left. All the middle powers, such as the UK, EU nations, Canada, Australia, South Korea etc are pivoting away from the US, strengthening trade with themselves and China and reducing reliance on US tech, US banking especially Mastercard and VISA, and US military equipment. The end of the petro-dollar has also begun.
- Comment on Is it predatory if (hypothetically) a 35 year old woman is dating a 25 year old guy because she was in a coma for 10 years so she's mentally about 25, and she hangs around with people in their 20s? 1 week ago:
People in those comments need to get a life. I can only assume that they were still at school if they’re considering 35 as middle aged.
- Comment on How do you feel about a 25 year old dating a 46 year old? 1 week ago:
It has zero impact on my life therefore I don’t care.
