its a nazi car, dude:
In 1933, Adolf Hitler gave the order to Ferdinand Porsche to develop a Volkswagen (literally, "people's car" in German, pronounced [ˈfɔlksvaːɡən]). The epithet Volks- literally, "people's-" had been previously applied to other Nazi sponsored consumer goods such as the Volksempfänger ("people's radio"). Hitler required a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings scheme, or Sparkarte (savings booklet),[12] at 990 Reichsmark, about the price of a small motorcycle (an average income being around 32RM a week).

It blows my mind that there is someone to whom it is news that the VW was literally the actual Nazi car.

It's not news to me! It's just that there were a lot of things that had origins in germany of that time and it seems kind of nasty to keep calling it the nazi car.
do you have a real nazi bug or is it one of the post-90s new era ones?
― mh, Thursday, 26 April 2012 16:31 (1 year ago) Permalink
I guess if you have a real air-cooled, rear-engined beetle then I will let you call it that. Only if you put some swastikas in the glove compartment or something.

can swastikas from the 21st century be considered nazi?

It's the very same bug that Hitler was killed in.

oh. my. god. the upstairs apartment has at least 3 children, two of whom run around chasing each other loudly and stomping and screaming. i am sympathetic to the limits to which one can discipline one's children, and so i usually try to ignore it during the day, but once you pass into the evening hours, it becomes really infuriating. twice i've gone upstairs to knock on their door to ask politely if they could stop running around, and the first time, the mom refused to open the door, and the second time, she screamed at me to stop touching her door. aghhhhghghg!!

they are so loud sometimes that i was on the phone and during a particularly loud running stomping battle upstairs, the person i was talking to was like wow, i can hear that.

I hate getting the oil changed. If I was half a man, I'd do it myself in the driveway, but I can barely change the oil in the lawnmower without the appearance of blue smoke everywhere.

Bad coffee. Loud TV.

Flights that are supposed to be one airline but 'operated by' another. Checked in on one and tried to check in on the other to pay in advance for extra luggage (which you can only do after check-in) but apparently they don't have a departure option for the airport I'm actually leaving from so can't access it - tried to do likewise with the 'operated by' airline and once you're checked in you can't pay for extra luggage and have to pay full price at the airport GRGRGAGHHGHGHGHAAAGGHHH

this doesn't make me angry, but i don't understand people who run to catch the el train when they see it arriving from outside the station. unless you're super-fast, you're not going to get up to the platform in time, and it's rush hour, so there's another train coming in like four minutes. and now you're sweaty and out of breath and gross.

speaking of AMC the line up for this year was supposed to include a weekly episode of Breaking Bad starting with the pilot and culminating in the premiere of season 5. The start date was set for some time in Jan or Feb but then nothing happened.Now its all MADMENMADMENMADMENMADMEN. Even my iphone app just goes straight black screen when I click the Breaking Bad schedule link. To make matters worse, I've only seen seasons 1-3 on netflix. I need to see season 4. NEED TO. Its driving me crazy. I dont even know what BOXCUTTER means. FUCK

n/a i think that train logic exists all over the world. sydney trains riders used to be the same iirc. unless someone through themselves on the tracks there would be another train coming in like 10 minutes. calm down trainriders.

unrelated IA: I bought a new girly floral top to wear to work, I thought oh it'll be cute but I am HATING the way it fits. the cut of the neck is slightly too low so I feel like oh hi booby girl and it ties in the back which if it's too loose the neck sags down but if it's too tight it pulls in weird directions and thank GOD I took a light zipup top in case it got cold because this whole thing is just not working for me.
