There should be another panel with the blue car driver looking at the person in the balcony saying :

I wish I had the time and luxury to be lounging in a balcony instead of being a slightly higher paid corporate slave.

Edit It has been pointed out that I latched onto the color and shape of the grill that is generally on the sportier Ford Foci and forgot about the 2012 base model. I hate when people delete comments and leave a graveyard of broken context so I'm leaving it up but I was wrong on what the blue car is.

Interesting, the blue car is clearly a ‘09 Ford Focus RS but it appears to be in Nitrous Blue, a color only available on the ‘16-‘18 Focus RS. Seems very specific.

Wow I wish I was as talented as you, except in a real marketable skills.

Shit, do we have a murderedbywords community here yet?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I mean, I have highly marketable skills. I also just own a ‘17 RS in that color so it just stood out.

Boy, I hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Not a blunder, just something very specific. I’ve seen mk3 RSs repainted to the mk2 green. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if someone did a mk2 in mk3 blue. It’s an enthusiast only detail that wouldn’t normally happen by accident so I’m wondering what the reference for the drawing was from.

Uh, BBC? Yeah, this guy right here can be your James May fill in on new Top Gear.

I guess I'm just so used to seeing STs and RSs over base models I go looking for them everywhere. The color, which could just have been an artificial shift during the drawing or sharing process, changed the hue to really match the RS color making me go instantly to the sportier line.

wheelchair users usually got hella upper body strength, this guy would be flying

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't go so far as "usually."

There's definitely at least a fair number of wheelchair users with great upper body strength, but I somehow doubt they're the majority.

A lot of people, when they end up a wheelchair user, fall deep into depression and struggle in their new, disabled life.

Source: Probably more depressing than it's worth to talk about.

Hi deep! I'm Joshua.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I see this crap all over FB. I know they mean well thinking "hey you got it pretty good already" but that's not how humans work. Just because someone is doing well in some areas doesn't mean everything else is invalidated.

Plus I wish I could tell them this is all to keep us mad at each other rather than being mad at the billionaire flying their private jet overhead

I hope everyone that sees this is okay

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm not quite okay, but thanks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not even remotely but I appreciate it.

if ur not in a wheelchair, dont complain. you are lucky to get the opportunity to work to death

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People in wheelchairs can absolutely die a slow soul crushing death at work, too.

They don't get a free ride here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They don't get a free ride here.

They do if they steal the wheelchair
