I mean it’s a funny meme, but philosophers have been debating about which of these is the better option for millenia. It isn’t like the general consensus is that living in that living in the Matrix was preferable

Americans thinking that Europeans don’t own cars is almost as dumb as Europeans thinking Americans never walk anywhere.

I’m glad that you’ve found a routine to help you floss but reading this made my whole body shiver. Do you floss while you’re driving? And what do you do with the floss picker when you’re done???

True but unfortunately his pants were 2% elastane so he will, in fact, still be going to hell

Well, Mozart was a composer, so I don’t know what parallels you’re drawing from to compare hin to Weird Al or Surfan [sic] Stevens. If we’re talking strictly in terms of best living musicians, Joanna Newsom is probably the best songwriter of the past fifty years, and in my opinion, the second place isn’t even close.

Subaru

JD Powers rated #1 for head gasket failure twenty years in the running.

how are they so good.

Western production “profit worship” systems are literally incompatible with making good products. Toyota has refused to cave to western pressure of creating plastic, planned-obsolescant quote unquote cars.

If you go to a Toyota group and tell them your car lasted 300k miles they’d ask what you did to kill it so early

Please show me one (1) report from the last twenty years that doesn’t put Toyota/Lexus in the top for reliability or maintenance costs

If you’re saving up five grand for months for what I presume is your only car, you’d be a fool to not get the best one you could buy - a Toyota. After that, knock yourself out with whatever projects you want. My Corolla was the first car i ever bought myself and will probably be the last one i own after selling/trading the others.

I’m incapable of coming to terms with the scientific fact that a 194cm male could not take a grizzly bear in a fight

This is probably a controversial one. As someone who studied modern political history, the U.S. Constitution is - taken completely subjective for its time, authors, situation, etc. - an amazing piece of human achievement. It’s a shame that so many people view it was some static command from the past, rather than the living document that it’s authors intended it to be.
