    This.

    Every time I think I’ve found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I’d have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.

    DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can’t even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c

      dude I lose my Subaru Outback sometimes

      newer ones will park next to me and they dwarf it in size, everything is taller and wider and longer

      edit: not the topic, but there was one time I lost it in a small parking lot because a truck had parked next to me, and another Outback in the same colour, year, window tint, and general condition had parked on the other side of that truck — so mine was hidden by the truck. I went to the back and was trying to open it for like twenty seconds before I heard mine unlock ten feet away (the fob receiver sucks and it doesn’t work half the time, which didn’t help the situation). that is the only time in eight years that I have confused another car for mine. one of the actually great perks about driving an older car, nobody else has one just like it.

        I walked into a Chipotle and parked close to the window. While ordering, a lifted GMC Sierra parked by my car and absolutely dwarfed it. The hood line I swear was above my roof.

        Wanna know what my car is? A 2008 Toyota sienna.

          your Sienna isn’t much bigger than my car (also an 08) despite having twice the cargo volume. vans rule. my buddy’s similar year Sienna treated our group well as a hauler to many events, rain snow or shine, with multiple people and gear.

          I love driving next to vehicles where my head doesn’t go above their wheel well. fuck, some stock trucks have that height these pasts few years. and it’s not like I drive a Miata… for fuck’s sake even a BRZ is smaller than my car. and a (old) Miata is like half the size of a BRZ
